Welcome to the TW forum Kevin

I'll agree with the Phone Holder, Console Tray & Glove Box Organizer as the are inexpensive
way to make cab life more enjoyable. The best Mod so far has been my Platz-Form here
is the site link to that;

Again, Welcome & Congrats on your incoming TRD Off-Road

Hi there, I am brand new to the forum and a first time tacoma owner. I actually put a deposit down today and will be receiving my new trd offroad in late May! Cement colour.

I was wondering what people's thoughts were about dealership accessories? What are some of the "you gotta have this" or "if you want that dont get the dealership to install it use a third part retailer".

I live in BC on the west coast, similar to Washington climate. I am more of a flyfisherman/camper than a serious offroader. However our logging roads can create some serious challenges.

Sorry mods if this was posted in the wrong forum.

Congrats OP! Welcome to the family. Bed mat is best first mod hands down. Find a price on-line and see if Dealership will match price. Takes 10 seconds to install yourself.

The wiring for the bed lights is already there. You can pick up the bed lights on Amazon or the dealership and it's plug and play. The hardest part is removing the tail light housings.

Just clarifying for posterity. You can lock the tailgate with the key, but there is an optional add-in to allow you to lock it remotely with the fob.

Congrats on the purchase OP, and great color choice! I've been able to find a lot of the dealer add-ons on Amazon or ebay for a cheaper price as @Screaminpotato said. Just drive it for a while and decide what it needs. I like the bed mat, and for the few times my pooch is riding in the bed I'm sure she loves it as well, but it 100% depends what you're going to be using your truck for whether it's worth it for you or not.

Yeah the wireless tailgate is an option I am not really interested. Good to know about the lights though.
