    Picked up my '19 Tacoma on Wednesday. Always loved the way they look and have owned a few other Toyota trucks previously, though this is my first new one.

    After a couple days- here are my likes / dislikes. I'm sure you've heard them before...

    Likes - looks, color, ride quality, interior design, (expected) Toyota quality

    Dislikes - All kinds of tech in the truck (lane departure, wireless charging, etc.) but no garage door opener? WTF Toyota! Side steps - truck isn't quite high enough to use them getting in, but it's too high to get out of without touching your pants/legs to the side step. Seating position - I find the seat comfortable, but the ergonomics from seat to pedals to steering wheel aren't yet dialed. I knew about this going in, so I'll keep adjusting til I find my spot.

    Thanks for the welcome posts! I've been bitten by the customize bug and have put in orders for a few items already- seat spacers was the 1st thing ordered. weathertech mats next. today I put up a post for a hood swap (low expectations for success, but what the hell, the question has now been asked).

    Also ordered the Chuck Norris autograph decal for the front fenders. I love that freakin' commercial!
