    Hi, Jim H. here, new member on TW. Picked up my 2018 DCSB Off Road on Sept 14. The truck will be my daily driver but during our short camping season here in Manitoba, I plan to tow my RPOD 179 (rig pic attached).

    So far I've put in Weathertek floor liners and a Proclip dashmount for the Prodigy RF brake controller. I mounted a scangauge2 in front of the instrument cluster specifically to monitor the ATF temp (works well) and I've ordered the larger radio knobs from Tacowiede. (There's a postal strike going on here in Canada so prompt delivery of the aforementioned knobs is in question). I got the 'running boards' and the soft tonneau installed by the dealer. So far so good.

    Only have 2200 kms on it and really enjoy driving it although the shifting started out a little weird. My Taco is learning my habits and I've learned to use S mode driving in city traffic and D when on the highway. As per the owner's manual I'll be using S4 and probably ECT power to tow my trailer come next May.

    Jim H.

    Great trim you've got there. The third gen A-trac / mts is the bomb.
