    2022 Tacoma TRD Sport Lunar Rock
    The basics
    Hello everyone,

    Yesterday I purchased my first truck ever, a Tacoma TRD Sport in Lunar Rock. I opted for no dealer options other then the all weather floor mats.

    My last vehicle was a 2012 Mercedes GLK 350 and before that, a Mercedes C300. I outgrew the SUV and decided I needed a truck that would last me a very long time.

    I've already ordered a few things for it...tonneau cover, black tailgate inserts, black emblem overlays, mudguards, and bed lights. Most of this stuff I found on Amazon.

    I'm sure this is all just the beginning. I'll likely upgrade the sound system (rear speakers are awful), tint the windows evenly, wheels & tires, roof rack, bed rack with tent, and black leather seat covers.

    I'll likely have several questions over the next few days and I'll do my best to search for the answers before asking.

    Thanks!

    Dave

    Welcome and nice Sport!

    I purchased my Sport the same way (just floor mats) last year May...have add-on remorse but have since taken care of that with a bunch of add-ons/upgrades.

    Love the Skewp on this truck! It's my first "new" truck too...worked my way from a 2003 Honda Pilot.

    Enjoy the fun that is the TW!
