    2020 Black SR SX
    First new car, first pickup truck. The SR has everything I wanted (adaptive cruise control, android auto) and the SX blacked out look is perfect. Went with 4WD and V6.

    Already starting my mod priority list:
    • Roof rack (gonna be hauling a kayak or two and lumber)
    • Bed rack (gotta support those 16' boards)
    • Fog lights
    • locking bed compartment mod or replacement door
    • Maybes
      • a different grill. I've seen some cool custom grills and might explore changing it up
      • seat lift. I'm 6'1" and the front seat lift might be nice
    Anyways - been lurking around and this community a bit and it is legit. If you have any wisdom to share I'm all ears!

    Congrats and welcome! Best bang for the $$$!

    Lose the chin strap unless you're concerned about saving ~0.5 mpg at speeds above 65 mph. Really it's probably quite less than that I just over-estimated as I didn't keep it on the truck long enough to do MPG testing with it.

    Nice looking truck! If you are sure you want a new grille, baby that OEM one, you can get some decent money for it as it's a fan favorite.

    Black on black looks sick, very nicely done.
