What mods first w limited budget??

Yes you need a brake controller. Red arc installs nicely in these trucks. This pic is what it looks like in my 2020, that's all you see the rest is hidden. There is a tread on this and the Takonsha P3 options in the towing section.


I would also probably not do a lift or get more moderate one. Don't think you want to try for 33"+ tires either. Some say that hurts towing preformance.

Since it's used like others said focus on cleaning and making sure the maintenance is all done and up to date.
Get some functional mods that are going to make the truck better for you. Things like bed mat. All weather floor mats, console and glove box organizers, interior LED bulbs, maybe seat covers if you like. Things like that aren't super expensive. Drive the truck and get used to how it tows your toys I'd say before you make big changes to the tires and suspension. It's really easy to get too carried away with mods on this site. Don't try to keep up. Some of the people on here must have deep pockets or big credit card debt to do all this that you see posted.

Most of all congratulations and enjoy.

 

Go camping/offroading Yu.....

P.S. Duratracs for the Win!

 

Good tires will tkae you a long way if you ever choose to step of the roads

 

- New windshield wipers (silicone)
- Synthetic Speed Clay Bar (remove contaminants from clear coat)
- Either Ceramic or Graphene base coat and another maintenance coat
- Speakers, speakers, speakers...

 

If you pay off the truck early, you can buy your car payment's worth in mods every month until you have what you want

 

Vent visors, steprail, tonneau,weathertech,bed mat

These are cheap and worth every penny imo.

 

I need to replace my wiper blades, which silicone one are you referring to? I was planning to stop in and get oem

 

you can get a 3\2 inch leveling kit for $650 installed from les scwhuab tire center not sure if you have one of those around umm k&n air intake about $300 and mbrp performance cat back exhaust kit for around $250

 

check out meso customs i highly recommend their map lights and rear seat map light so super freaking bright i love em dont mess with cheap Amazon crap

 

for a bed mat i use a thick horse mat cut to fit in my tacoma and plus side is it adds a lil bit of weight for our trucks better grip lol if you really want a great mod get the ov tune program purchase the program so you can play with the different tunes dont go out and be cheap and have someone put the tune on for you im glad I bought the whole ov tune program and there is a thread on here where people can help with the install i put over 100,000 miles on my truck and thousands of dollars into my truck and i wish the ov tune was the first thing i did to my truck

 

i highly recommend oem audio for upgraded speakers with easy install but downfall is they are pricy but install is easy everything is plug and play

 

Top three simple and easy mods
- Bed cover
- Rain guards on windows
- deflector/rock guard on hood

 

Bed mat Toyota factory one.
Dash top multi mount! From Taco Garage.
Then drive it for a while.
Then OV Tune. Like getting a new truck. Better shifting more power

 

1 Bed mat like others said

2 Replace those god awful speakers .

3.floor mats the oem ones get dirty fast

4 some recovery boards if your planning on doing some off-roading .

 

I got the Rain X Advantage Edge. They are okay. Better than the OEM.

 

Thank you very much for great ideas!
For now I’m just driving as it came, I’ll also see brake controller I saved from my last ride would work...Quest brake controller. It turned out Tacoma had airbag suspension. I haven’t checked it is still working, hold air with no puncture. I’ll check on it soon.
Here’s my Tacoma with my wife in front of it, as if it’s hers!

 

Window Tint.
Pay the price to have it done professionally.
It will last the life of the truck..glass I guess.
Koolness-factor instantly increased by 10+
Get it done in an afternoon.

 

I think the best initial investments for your truck would be High quality seat covers and floor mats.
