    On my way....
    My first new vehicle purchase ever! I think I made a good choice.

    2019 White Tacoma TRD LB

    Had a few older Tacomas but nothing like this and never brand new. I am enjoying watching that odometer click over to the barely 200 mile mark. Just got done putting 200K on my 2004 Tacoma before selling it.

    I have some ideas what I want to do but not really much knowledge in truck suspension. This truck will be my daily driver, family car, but also a modular overlander in time. Would love to hear from some other daily drivers that can offer some must get gear that helps offroad but also works well for the daily commute life.

    So far I have just added Total Chaos Bed stiffeners, next up are some CaliLED step sliders and a Diamond back Bed Cover. That is about all I can afford at the start but plan to get a nice rack and roof tent, and would love some advice on what I will need suspension wise to handle all that weight, or maybe the stock suspension will do the trick for 10,000 miles or so? Seems silly and a bad use of money to gut brand new suspension right at the get go.

    Thanks for any advice, Cheers. Graham

    Welcome to TW enjoy the new truck. I use mine for daily travel back and forth to work. I mostly just added cosmetic items such as a bed cover, bug guard, and some side moldings for those door dings.
