New Tacoma 2020

Hello Everyone,

I am excited to own my first tacoma! My 2020 tacoma TRD off road in silver grey metallic should arrive by the end of January!! After owning Hondas all my life i have always wanted upgrade to the tacoma for its durability and reliability! I am bummed to learn as soon as my truck was ordered that i was unable to get the factory tonneau cover. I looked through all the forums to see if there is some way i can still order it whether its contacting the dealership to swap with a another tacoma on the lot with the tonneau cover or tying to buy used online.

 

Welcome aboard. Post this in New Members.

 

Welcome to TW, congrats on your first taco.

 

silver grey metallic? It's either silver sky metallic or magnetic grey metallic.
Either way, enjoy the new truck when it arrives.

 

Oops.. you are right! I can’t type this morning! Yes it is silvery sky metallic!!

 

Welcome to the forum! Now, go to your backyard and bury your wallet before it’s too late! The mod bug bites hard around here.

 

In my experience with factory tonneau cover. You are better off with after market. Few reason, only open 2/3, not as easy to remove, and leak more than others I have owned.

 

Congrats on the new truck! I agree with @na8rboy - aftermarket tonneau will be better. I got a Gator FX since it can be completely folded out of way if needed. The factory one sits weird, the front and rear ends sit at an angle and not flat. Would drive me nuts.

 

Good advice! Ha ha. I think i will stick with stock on this truck with the exception of a couple exterior mods.

 

Thank you na8rboy for the advice! I guess i wanted something that is easily removable and also deters theft if i travel with stuff in the bed.

 

Thank you toytruckmike I will have to look at that brand! I guess what sold me on the factory tonneau cover is tri fold design and that supposedly it is quick to remove by yourself. I guess i have looked at soft tonneau covers as well

 

Here's a teaser! My 2020 silver sky metallic off-road.

 

Looks great SSMTRDOR !!! I always loved silver!!! I am stoked for mine to arrive!! I was going between either silver or white!! What are your thoughts on the mud flaps? I want to prevent rock chips if possible. Have you had issues with the mud flaps scrapping on anything?

 

There is a ton of threads on here about all different brands/style covers. Just use search and browse. See what fits your needs.

 

I like white too, but went with silver also.
Mine has OEM mud flaps and black tube steps. I like the look, and they definitely protect the paint.
If you do serious off reading you won't want either. Aftermarket sliders and 'flexible' mud flaps only.

 

Good to know! I go mountain biking, fly fishing and hunting so i would maybe light to medium off roading at best.

 

Nice OP

 

Best color out there! It looks great man!
