    DC11357B-A979-41D8-A0AB-883CB46F279B.jpg Hi guys/gals. I am a long time Toyota fan. I’ve owned several new and used Toyota’s but my 2022 Tacoma is my first Toyota truck and first new truck. I’ve owned used trucks of different makes, but my trucks have always been an extra vehicle. My Tacoma is my only vehicle. I hope to learn some stuff about these trucks from you.

    Yes!

    Welcome from one Sport owner to another!

    It will be great to see which direction you go with upgrades/improvements to your truck.

    This is my only vehicle/daily driver so I really hadn’t planned on doing much to it. I ordered some tubular steps to help my wife get in and out. If I do make changes I think others might like, I’ll post it.

    I went with these HDX steps for my wife to get in and out of...kinda glad I didn't get sliders or those other ones that look like you'll snag your leg on. (Predators)

    Hi Ashland, I was debating whether to get a bed mat. Does it have to be secured down when bed is not loading?

    Bed mat rests on the bed. Weight and rubber-ness keeps it secure to the bed. I also bought/installed OEM LED bed lights for Christmas 2021.

    It does not have to be secured the weight and rubber will hold it down.

    LOL

    You didn't write anything...

    Here's a view from when I went to the dealership in Easton, MD to pick up some touch up paint.

    Wow that looks nice and clean. We’re those lights easy to install? How do they turn on?

    The same switch in the lower left side dash that turns on the 3rd brake light turns it all on.

    They also turn on for a minute when I unlock the truck.

    EDIT: They were easy to install. Two bolts hold the taillights...remove and connect (plug n play) and reinstall.
