    Hey all — just picked up my 2025 TRD Off-Road Hybrid (Premium Package) and figured it was time to join the forum officially.

    Long-time Toyota fan, coming off a Cadillac XT6. I live in central Mass

    Already loving the truck. Feels like a perfect blend of tech, torque, and trail capability. It came with the full ARB bed rack system already installed (dealer-installed). I’m considering running boards (for the family) and eventually a tent setup — maybe some light overlanding, but nothing wild... yet.

    Looking forward to learning from everyone and contributing where I can. Appreciate any tips or advice from those ahead of me on the path. ✌️

    Appreciate the heads-up — I didn’t realize rock chips were already a thing with the 4G. I’ll check what flaps I’ve got on mine. Any recommendations?

    Mud flaps done, thanks again! Looking into ppf now. I ordered a roll but realize I probably need a few more.
