    I could be wrong but isn't it only the SR that doesn't have the intermittent wipers? My Sport has them so I would think the OR would have them also.

    I have intermittent wipers on my 2020 SR5. I believe the SR is the only trim that doesn't have them.

    Order a rubber bed mat (Short Bed Part Number: PT58035050SB) from the dealer (or something similar aftermarket) if you plan to put anything in the bed. These Tacos have composite beds and anything will slide around in the back of the bed without a mat to create friction. I have the decked drawer system since I use my rig for overlanding so the problem is a non-issue for me, but friends recommended the same to me when I first bought the rig and I experienced stuff sliding around the bed the first few weeks I had it.

    Congratulations on the purchase. I have no affiliation to the channel, but have recently come across Classy Tacos on YouTube and dude has similar tastes to me (and budget) and his videos are on point. You should check out some of the things he has installed (Garmin Mini dash cam with the dongle that plugs into the Taco's rear view mirror, interior dome and map lights, etc.... he has some serious off-road upgrades as well but he also has more every-day stuff). This may be a good resource for you to see what is out there. Of course you have this forum to search as well. My use case is much different that yours so I cannot offer any other advice from experience. If you want to talk bed racks, roof top tents, and overland I'm game.

    I have them on my 21 SR AC with the utility package. I read somewhere around here that starting in 2020, all trims have standard intermittent wipers.


    Edit:. Also maybe get some of these to hang stuff up on the rails instead of them bouncing all over back there:

    100% this. A deposit or an email doesn't mean much. Unless you have signed paperwork with the VIN on that paperwork. Even then, the dealer can back out of the deal.

    How tall are you? Have you sat in a Tacoma with a sunroof? Might want to pump the brakes on those seat jackers unless you're under 6'

    I'd make a list instead of spending money.

    IF the truck you want actually appears, some folks around here will swear a dealer will buy it back from you for more than you paid the next month. And no need to accessorize. You never know. It could happen.

    That disclaimer in place,

    On that list I'd suggest under rail bed lighting from @mattgecko. Awesome stuff.

    Bed mat as others have called out.

    If you live in salt country, proper frame protection is a must, not an accessory. Fluid Film, Cosmoline, something with substance, not the rubberized junk from a parts house.

    If you live where fog lights are of value (fog, snow, heavy rain at night), upgrade the fogs to Diode Dynamics selective yellow. It's a PnP deal if you have fogs already. www.hotshotoffroad.com with our friend @memario1214

    Not enough bandwidth on the internet to list.
    200% this.

    I just got my TRD OR DCLB on July 31.

    Most of these suggestions are hideous but I think they were intended that way! o_O Anyway, your rig is very well equipped from factory. But seriously, wait till you get and drive it for a while...shit, even a few weeks then decide what to prioritize. Make sure you actually get the keys before you buy anything more. It HAS intermittent wipers. It has an electric drivers seat so you likely won't need seat jacks, either. That was new for '21 models.

    Bed mat...yes. I got the BedRug floor. Much nicer than a rubber OEM mat and very easy on the knees. Nothing affects them, either. Just a few bucks more than an OEM mat. First big thing I did was better tires that make the truck look hella better and will handle your off road excursions. I got Cooper Discoverer AT3's, there are many similar options in the same price range of about $800.

    Bottomline, just wait and drive, THEN make it yours by adding what YOU need, not what all us hosers tell you.

    Wow, completely forgot about the power seat. So yeah, return those seat jackers unless you're <5'5"!

    Don't forget the Monster sticker for the back window.

    Something to dangle from the rear view mirror gives a nice personal touch.

    Maybe I haven't thought it through entirely, but the tailgate extender doesn't seem useful to me. If something doesn't fit, I just rest it on the top of the closed tailgate.

    I disagree on the need for a foglight upgrade with the new LED fog lights. I like them alot more than yellow/amber/halogen foglights in the past.

    Bed mat is a must. Tacoma all weather floor mats are as nice as weathertech and I prefer them, but to each their own. I live in PA so undercoating is a must.

    A nice divider for the glovebox and little shelf thingy for the center console are nice.
