    Call any Toyota dealer service dept and give them your VIN, they will have every info about your trucks equipment.(OEM).

    Yes, filters are necessary here very frequently. Probably as frequently as wet weather owners change their wipers :)

    As long either of the nav works (carplay or built in) I am fine with it :)

    Haha I know you weren't saying to lift. Just pulling your leg :)

    Which costco ones did you go with? My FJ had costco covers (cheap ones) never really fit right. Looked like walmart take offs. Pretty embarassing looking.

    Great on split screen! On the NON nav JBL - nav isn't on all the time, I suppose?

    Thanks!

    Its nice that yours comes with bed lights. I installed a Retrax cover and it was SUPER dark without lights. The OEM LED bed lights are great.
    Although I have the 2020 (not 2021).
    Here's a shitty album of mine. Dog mobile slowly turning into camp adventure mobile. ;)

    Hold up just a second...because all I got out of this was that the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffet, was supposedly on this call. And gave you his personal cell? He's one of the richest men in the world and would never waste his time over something like this lol.

    CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Automotive. Jeff Rachor. Allan Cady is the CFO who was on the call as well.

    @averagejp , and @tomwil, @DES2009 helped me figure out who is ownership group of the dealership. Then I reached out to them. It was Berkshire Hathaway Automotive, TX based.

    On the text you quoted, "automotive" was left out, as I typed it, since it had been established who the group CEO/CFO/Counsel was.

    I never claimed Warren Buffet called me - nor do I believe he cares about this, or has anything to do with it :)

    How did you get such a pretty and logical breakdown of the truck? The VIN decoder on Toyota's site doesn't have nearly as much detail.

    Hi Julia, I went with the Costco neoprene seat covers @$200 for the fronts, takes 6 weeks for the Company to make them.......I fold my back seats for storage........hoping they give me a little more cushioning for my old guy body for the 4 1/2 drives to work.......

    With your 2021, I would expect electric driver seat......which takes care of the number one complaint of Tacoma’s......I did the seat mod on my 2010.......

    i would highly recommend your first Tacoma mod, to either be the LEd interior light bulbs OR the Hood struts.....both cheap, easy, and a MUST......

    for $45K, you’d think they would come standard.

    Thank you!!

    Looks like LED interior bulbs (where do you guys get them), seatcovers (will look at costco neoprene), hood struts (miss my FJ ones) would be the first things. But I wont jinx myself, buying those, before we get the truck here!! :)

    Only aesthetic mods so far Leer 180 cap & Clazzio covers on order.
    I've been following this issue of yours - glad to see this seemingly working out in your favor. I will keep my fingers crossed for ya until that truck is parked on your farm.
    Seems like the vast majority of posters are pulling for ya.
    Told ya TW folks care.

    Thank you. Your PMs were very helpful. Everyone at TW have been very helpful. I just need 2 more weeks to go by smoothly.

    hi Julia,
    Truck IS coming.......that part is DONE........only thing you have to REALLY do, is take a close look at at when it gets delivered, and don’t sign delivery paperwork, until YOU are happy.

    LED interior bulbs.....Ebay.....some of the videos on YouTube of the installs have links......the new multiple LED dome light is popular but too bright for me.

    hood struts is Stryker...(@$100)...I used a different Company because mine had zero drilling involved.....just don’t remember the name.......what’s funny is the reaction of the service advisors at Toyota....they think they’re great....

    have another 3 weeks to go on my seat covers arrival so can’t tell you good or bad.

    saw you’re truck comes with BSM blind spot mirror technology and collision avoidance technology......wife loves it , probably will never have a car without it....
