I really don’t want it to drive any differently than stock. What would y’all do to this truck to give it a little bit of edge? Grey TRD wheels? Front bumper? Roof rack? I really don’t do any of road and just aggressive pothole driving. Right now it’s just a stock completely loaded Limited 4 x 4 2017. Help!

    Looks good, I'd leave it!
    Or you could put the same aftermarket wheels on it, too make it look just like every other guy that tried to make his truck look different :D

    It’s more rare where I live to see a clean stock Limited running around than any other trim with mods.. looks nice as it sits IMO.

    I like those wheels on it. Tires can make a big difference as far as aggressiveness.
    Other than that, tint the windows & get some OR taillights, why do they even still make clear taillights?
    I wouldn't mess with the limited too much, like you said, it's an urban assault vehicle and looks damn good like it is. A painted bed cover and some running boards with the above about all I'd do, but I just turned 40!!! Haha

    Something on the roof is the best improvement I've seen.

    Lots, straight from the factory.
    More aggressive look... front and rear bumpers, and off-road tires. If you got a front bumper that is the flat top Baja style, that would definitely give it an aggressive look.

    TRD Pro Grill + Raptor Lights (upcoming) would be all you need to do. I personally don't like the SR5 Grill (the one you have on).

    Your wheels look good, and your matching bumper caps look good. I'd throw on a TRD Pro Grill, and AVS VentVisors and you should be all set.[​IMG]

    I'd put a mildly aggressive AT tire on it, probably slightly bigger. But not big enough to need a lift or hurt performance. I'd lose the mud flaps.

    My 07 basically stock with LT265/75/16 tires on it.

    Trying to punch up the man card a bit?

    Ditch those dime store side steps and install some compact sliders.

    Pull the Limited badges. And all the tailgate badges.

    Add a Pro or custom grill, TRD exhaust and intake.

    Enjoy your truck, don't fret over what others might think.

    I wouldn't change a thing but the wheels/tires. Just a good all season tread with some wheels that YOU like.

    Since I'm spending your money. I'd start with a black soft topper. 19 OR Grill with the black trim, so you keep some chrome. Front hybrid bumper no hoops, color matched. Dobinson lift kit, and GX F-sport wheels wrapped in Yokohama geo MTs.

    More aggressive look? As others have said, truck looks good but more of a nice looking daily. Get a larger and more aggressive tire, THEN step back and see what else it needs. Maybe loose some of the chrome too, nothing says 80 year old driving a Lincoln (truck), like too much chrome.

    The grey wheels don’t add any kind of aggressive look IMHO. They look decent but kinda meh to me.

    In the end, if you’re happy with your end result then that’s all that matters.
