New Tacoma owner - 2019 TRD off road, 6-speed

A few weeks ago I picked up a 2019 TRD off road with a 6-speed manual transmission and ~35,000 miles.

Browsing the forum here has already been super helpful in figuring out how I want to add to the truck (I like camping, so a rooftop tent/bed tent are in the near future).

Obligatory pictures:


Already took it car-camping, dog included!


And some mild off-roading on fire trails and dirt roads:


The only annoying thing so far (aside from the somewhat clunky, unrefined 6-spd) is a very faint metallic "rattling" coming from under the car at idle and while driving... I don't think it's transmission related because it doesn't vary with speed and is present at idle and with the truck in neutral.

Any thoughts on that would be welcome - I'll post a video and I plan on having the dealer look at it when it's in for service.

 

Welcome To TW...you need some black tailgate letters

 

Where should I look for those? So far I've picked up some red rock mud flaps and the console/glovebox organizer from extremeterrain.

 

Welcome to TW!

 

I picked mine up on Amazon..

 

Welcome to TW! Great looking truck

 

Congrats on your Tacoma! Welcome.

 

Welcome to the obsession!

Went out to Redbird SRA in Indiana this past weekend. Truck performed great. Definitely had some hard knocks at parts, and the 'predator' oem side steps were a pain. Luckily the only casualty was my mud flaps.

Was my first time doing proper off-road/4x4 trails. Tons of fun and I didn't get stuck anywhere, but I'm in no hurry to do it again, at least until it dries out a bit here.

 

For the noise check all the hangers and joints of your exhaust. Something could be loose? Also twins on the 2019 MTs beauty truck
