    2017 TRD OffRoad V6 manual.
    The new and the old. Picked up the new yesterday.

    New: 2017 TRD OffRoad V6 manual.
    Old: 2004 S-Runner (also V6 manual, the only way they came.)

    It's about as big of a change as one can do while still remaining in the Tacoma world. While the S-Runner worked great when we were in Texas, the TRD OffRoad will be much better suited to our current location in Colorado.

    For accessories, we're looking to do at least tube steps and a tonneau cover, and maybe a bed rug. We also plan on picking up a camper to tow. Does that count as an accessory?

    Regarding mods, I'd like to black out the chrome badges, swap in the TRD Pro grill, and maybe get the TRD exhaust (I already miss the exhaust sound of the S-Runner.) Can the headlight bulbs be replaced by LEDs? No plans to do anything more extensive like a lift kit or engine work.

    In addition to towing the camper, we hope to join our Wrangler owning neighbor on some trail drives, go check out Moab, and explore Colorado a bit more.
