Picked up 2019 SR5 Cavalry Blue Extended Cab

I picked up my SR5 Tacoma, RWD, V6, Ext Cab on Saturday.

Some first impressions -

I think the Toyo tires ride better than the ones I tested with Kumhos.

I love the feel of the truck, going from a 2 DR Civic is quite the change. I'm always taking sharp parking lot turns a little wider knowing that ass end is out there.

I like the ride quality, bumps are soaked up pretty nicely. I know a Ridgeline would have been a decent option, but I know the bumps would be much harsher in a Honda.

The stereo bluetooth is driving me a little crazy since it does the typical skipping everyone complains about - I did try the suggestions of changing the settings, it didn't have much impact. I may just switch to aux cable or usb.

Plans:
1552 wheels
TRD pro grill w/ raptors lights (havent decided on Chinese or OEM version yet)
Rubber bed mat and possibly a bed cover that folds up.
More aggressive tread pattern tires
Smoked headlight film
Maybe a camping set up on the bed


Avoided a nasty situation last night coming back from the beach when a older Explorer lost control in the passing lane and hit the wired median, the trailer dismounting and throwing 2 ATVs onto I40 in Warsaw NC. Gas and debris all over the freeway. I was just the right following distance behind. I really lucked out. An angel was on my shoulder with a 2 day old truck.

Planning cross country trip to the Redwoods in October from Raleigh, then down to LA for Halloween to ride my new Haro Master And then back to NC.

 

Digging the 1552 Analog.

 

Congrats on your new truck.

 

Appreciated, hook em
