Brand New 2021 Taco!

Hello out there TW!
I'm awaiting my very first Tacoma or even Toyota in a couple weeks and given that you guys are the experts just looking into what I should and shouldn't do!
I know i went a bit overboard with the TRD Pro but its the first time I've ever treated myself and want to have some fun!
Just looking for advice as this will be my first new vehicle and don't want to some how mess up the engine within the first month of owning, also what kind of mods and upgrades i should do.
Also wondering if there are any kind of roof racks/cages that wont interfere with the sun roof?
Or alternatively if they are very difficult to take off.
Very excited about getting the call to come pick it up!
Thanks everyone!

 

Congrats!!! Some of us that are waiting (monday for me) , we can feel the excitement.

Enjoy the truck, read the owners manual. You can mod it to the hilt on this website. But if you get to know your truck, see how you use it, it will help to mod it correctly per your needs

Good luck!

first thing you will want to do is upgrade those tail lights with a Meso stage 1 or 2 (I have 1 and love it) to upgrade to LED tails that this truck should have come with

Welcome to TW

Drive it for a while. Get to know your new toy.
Meantime, browse the forums here, and read up, watch to see what others needs are and why.
My suggestion, don't go nuts buying what others wear. Research, research and read. Make a list as you do, for each specific area and use. Then start narrowing things down, what fits your needs, not others.

Enjoy that new truck!!

 

First mod should be removing the dealership logo as there is no such thing as free advertising

 

Yup exactly what this guy said!!! Enjoy your 1st new truck sir!!!

 

I was actually wondering about that....mine looks like a badge, how do i get it off w/o damaging my paint ?

 

Drive it stock for several months. Your mod list will magically appear...

 

Fishing line and WD40.

 

That includes Plate covers

 

Take it back to the dealer.
Let them remove it!!!

LOLOLOL

 

Wow this group is amazing!
Thank you all already and totally makes sense to wait a while before spending the $$$$...again.
Main reason why I got it will be for camping/ATV plus using it off road where able! Definitely want to do some back woods camping.
Currently trying to find a cargo trailer to turn into a converted toy hauler, should i do anything like riding air bags or better suspension? Tires?
Now hat my ex isn't here to watch my spending i am a bit more free you could say!

 

Lololol

 

tail lights....cough cough.... anybody disagree ?

don't want nobody rear-ending that beautiful new truck and owner...

 

Will you be my bank roll?
I'm up for replacing mine. LOL

 

thank you sir... i will wait for a nice warm day and peel it off with my own taco fingers

 

Ditto!
Definitely get to know your truck and how you're going to use/enjoy it.
The folks here will gladly suggest many ways that you can spend your $$$ - just consider each and every one carefully with respect to how it suits you, if at all.
The easily reversible mods are fine, but be cautious with major mods until you're sure they'll be useful AND that you're willing to cope with the effects of the modifications.
Welcome to TW - there is a ton of info here as well as some pretty wise people.
