    Hello all,

    New to this forum. Just got my first truck, 2020 Tacoma DCLB TRD Off-road with premium package. My wife wanted a truck, and we decided on the Tacoma for resale value and reliability. Been looking for a couple months as the lease on my 2017 Mercedes E300 is up next month. 0 percent financing made me finally pull the trigger.

    I don't want to modify it too much, probably just a TRD pro grill, LED bulbs, and tonneau cover. I am itching to modify it because of all the available aftermarket parts, but it's such a bad investment I'm conflicted.

    Welcome to TW.
    This place is a great place for knowledge.
    Bad place for those that have budget, but still like to mod.

    Now all you have left to do is, mosey on over to the 3rd Gen forum, and complain about something you dislike on new truck. It’s kind of like a “right of passage” before you can be come a true member of the 3rd Gen. family.

    Ok...ok. Not really.
    Us other Gen hubs love to pick on the “New Gen Guys”

    BTW, Sweet looking truck.

    Welcome long bed friend! I've just a few ;) and Im trying my hardest not to touch my 2020 cause as you said, it is a terrible investment but hey it does look cool :) Start slow with the functional stuff like weathertechs, tonneau, window tint, etc. and avoid this website cause then you'll decide you NEED tires, wheels, lift, etc. Congrats!

    IMO mods aren't a bad investment unless it's something that disables/destroys the truck. Also if you don't plan on selling it anytime soon if at all then it really shouldn't matter too much. I would say do mods that have functionality and stay away from the cosmetics (TRD Pro Grille would be the exception) i.e. vinyl wrapping a brand new truck, changing out the headlight and taillight housing things like that.
