    I hope everyone is doing well!

    I have a 2019 TRD OR with 60,000 miles and no upgrades. I travel a lot, across the country. My personal truck has almost become a working truck due to the amount of Emergency Management and Consulting contracts I've taken over the past few years.

    I am thinking about some necassary upgrades at my odometer reading / type of travel I do.

    I know thousands of y'all have been here with the same questions, maybe a different lifestyle but have all made some necessary upgrades along the way. I don't want more than I need but would like to treat her well since she's taken me through everything, stock.

    Any recommendations?

    Thanks all!

    Some nice quality seat covers with a decent amount of padding make the seats much more comfortable. That'd be one of my first upgrades if i was on the road a lot

    Everything is in there, for the most part. Just keep reading or ask the question in there.

    I was just looking around at the Carhartt ones but haven't seen anyone with them. They also seem pretty expensive lol.

    Welcome to TW

    "Windshield Time" so things to make life easier like speaker upgrade or the DMM (Dashtop Multi-Mount) to keep your phone up at eye level for Google Maps (don't forget to download first before driving across Minnesota). Lots of highway miles; summer and winter tires. Keep two full sets (5 wheels) mounted and with TPS sensors installed. Autotell 508 so you can swap and reload TPS.

    Speaker upgrade - Crutchfield. "Subaru Tweeters" is a common upgrade.

    2019 -- may be worth upgrading radio to a more modern aftermarket Android or Apple Play system. 2021 has that feature, but my phone overheats if I am streaming a podcast, have GPS running and charging.

    Most of my windshield time is in rental cars, so the Tacoma stays home and I uber to the Airport. Hence stuff I have done is more for taking a month off offroading but honestly adds too much weight for a daily driver (sliders, skid, RSI Cap).

    I have wet okoles in my trucks and theyre nice. They make the seats more comfortable but they do get hot in the summer since they dont breath. They definitely are a little pricey as well, but what ive found with seat covers is that you get what you pay for as far as fit and finish go

    The mount is very discrete. Remove the phone & tablet mounts, and you wouldn't realize it is there. two socket screws are just placeholders, just happened to leave them installed.
    I added the USB Plugs to the right.
