    2020 Tacoma TRD Off-Road - White
    Just joined the forum last month and posted that I was getting ready to pick up a 2020 TRD OR. I completely loaded the thing with almost all the accessories and every warranty I could get, a little over 50k OTD where I am in Phoenix. I immediately got a few messages informing me on why it was a bad idea to go down that path. Accessories that were unnecessary and in many cases could be purchased aftermarket for a better price AND quality, Warranties that had a near zero chance of ever being needed, among other things.

    I was also originally planning to make the whole purchase with cash, but was informed by a member that I could get a pretty significant credit bump if I financed, made a few payments, then payed the rest of the balance off. As of the 10th of October I'm the proud owner of a White 2020 TRD OR DCSB. So to the point I wanted to just say thanks to everyone for their help with my first new car purchase. I'm so much happier with my decision and have a lot more cash in my pocket, wound up saving ~$8000 and put all of that towards a few accessories.

    You had me at extra warranties. Chances are a) the Toyota standard warranty is enough b) those expensive extra warranties would be even LESS likely to pay out, or rather be more strict about mods, aftermarket, fluids, etc

    Wise man!!

    Nice truck.

    You poor, poor man. You believe they have saved you money? You're on the precipice of really spending money. The stripes are the dead giveaway. First it will be lighting. Hey, are those Rigid ditch lights? Followed by, Which suspension works best, OME or Kings? And when we've got you is when you post up, Follow my build thread!!!

    In the words of Gandalf, Run you fool !!!

    Very nice. I would take off the TRD Pro badges just because it’s not. The grill is cool and like the stripes. I had a black 2018 Sport DC. I did the katzkin leather, Boss 2.0 with SPC UCAs, TRD bead lock wheels in Gray, 32” tires and TRD Shift. knob. It’s was nice till I got rear ended. Now an 01 supercharged TRD.

    Love the stripes like everyone else, where’d they come from?

    Also wouldn’t mind hearing which accessories you’d considered and what pricing you were quoted.

    And congrats — enjoy your nifty electric seat controls, Android Auto and Apple Car Play. Perhaps my favorite things about that 2020. HIGHLY jealous of the Car Play.

    Are the headlights LED now or still halogen?
