    So I just got a 2019 Tacoma, and I was wondering if there are any little fixes I should do right away. Things like the A/C tube thing. Thanks guys.

    If your A/C isn't working at idle at warmer temps, there is a TSB for that and complain.
    Led headlights make a huge difference.

    Include a pic. Show it off. Welcome to TW

    Welcome to the forum from Eastern North Carolina.

    I was going to suggest the A/C mod, but looks like you already know about it. :)

    What about a bed mat? Everyone needs one of those.

    Paint protection film should be the first thing you do, followed by rust prevention spray (fluid film)

    You only get one chance to have a rust and rock chip free truck. Once rust starts, it doesn't stop.

    Though I'm not sure where you are located, so if your in a rust free state, disregard my rust rant.

    If you love music, get the "plug & play" Subaru/Kicker Tweeters. World of difference in imaging and sound!

    I didn't bother with the door speakers, but did add an underseat 8" powered Sub

    I'd avoid the urge to fix something that's not broke.
    Definitely floor mats and bed mat.
