    I just upgraded from an 07 TRD Sport Prerunner to a 2017 TRD Offroad. Any suggestions on what modifications/accessories/additions I should spend my money on first? Any advice for a first time 3rd Gen owner is welcome too!

    Tonneau cover, bed mat and Meso coin holder. Items that I'm glad I have in my truck almost on a daily basis. Oh yeah and WeatherTech floor liners too!

    Should have been clear. There are floor liners in there already.

    True, I meant Weathertech floor liners.. or anything but carpet. To protect your investment.

    "First," as in only one mod? I'd say drink a few beers then open yourself up to the idea of 3 first mods. Lol Lots of good suggestions so far.
    I would get the bed mat personally, depending on how much you use the bed.
    HID/LED headlights/fog light would be another good first if you don't need the bed mat.
