    Do the h9 bulb mod for the halogen projectors. It’s makes a pretty big difference for like $12.

    This would have bundled into a $3k “lighting package” if it was a BMW, Audi, etc.

    Lol.. headlights and the electric seating are the only reason to buy a 2020... oh and Apple play.

    Might of just snagged a 2019 for a VERY good price.

    90% of people change the grill.
    Upgraded JBL package comes with a beefy screen.

    Electric seating is almost worthless without a memory function tbh... I guess it's an improvement if you don't find any of the manual adjustments comfortable and need that extra bit of precision.

    I move mine a lot since I spend a lot of time in my vehicle as a Field Technician and like to get comfy. Memory function is the only thing that would make electric seating worth it in my case, otherwise why would I want a slower and probably more unreliable mechanism to move them around lol

    We have three other vehicles in the family with led headlights and the led’s on our new Tacoma are the best yet. Toyota did a really good job on these lights. As a stand alone option of $485 it is well worth it IMO if you’re looking at new trucks.

    I am not saying the base headlights are unacceptable however I did my test drives during the night here when I got my new Tacoma and it is a drastic difference in light output and brightness.

    Have you tested the new LED headlights in the dark?

    The ONLY reason I purchase my 2020 was that it now had a powered driver seat, Apple Carplay, and LED headlights. They kept showing me 2019's until I finally told them if they showed me one more truck without Power seats or Carplay I would walk off the lot.

    When I was young, I could have driven all day long while seated on a piece of flat bare plywood.

    I installed front spacers to lift my seat and it made a huge difference. It feels like a proper bucket seat and I can now drive for a few hours without my constant butt and leg pain becoming worse than what it is already.

    To me, the reason for a power seat is to be able to tilt the front and back of the seat bottom and/or raise and lower the height of it for comfort and support of your butt and legs. Once they’re dialed in, I’ve not needed to readjust them.

    The manual seat sucks in this regard.

    If you’ve ever broken your back, have bulging discs, sciatic nerve pain and spinal stenosis because you’re just getting old, a friggin
    multi point adjustable power seat is awesome.

    This is not the point. The point is for vertically challenged drivers you are able to move it up 2", and adjust thigh support
