    2018 Tacoma TRD Off-Road
    Hello everyone! I'm about to pull the trigger on my first Toyota Tacoma (also my first truck), ordering a custom build 2018 TRD Off-Road 4x4 Double Cab Short Bed with the "Technology Package with Options" (and a few extras). See attached image for details. Joining this forum to get questions answered quickly from you experts :) First thing I want to do is to swap out the front grill for the OEM "TRD Pro" grill (all black, no chrome, "TOYOTA" lettering). Good idea? Anything else I should add to help this vehicle hold it's value?

    Please tell me now if this is the wrong choice to make... I was debating between the "TRD Sport" and the "TRD Off-Road", I just prefer less chrome on the body and don't really dig the hood scoop on the Sport model... How much should I expect to pay? MSRP is $39,261 with the options, I'll be purchasing the vehicle in Oregon. Is $36,000 a fair price to try to negotiate?

    Welcome to TW buddy! Only you can say if that is the perfect truck for you, but the TRD Offroad is a solid platform. :thumbsup:
