    Much smarter to get a low APR loan and then invest your cash rather than throw a huge sum of money into a depreciating asset

    I'm from New Mexico. I understand the Heat issue, Were going to be 104 here this Saturday LOL. Get a set of Window Vent Visors so you can put your windows down a little while you aren't in the truck and let the Cab Breath.

    Yes that’s high of my list. Been deciding between brands and will put them on right after I get the truck - it was 106 here today! Cracking the windows is a lifesaver.

    I bought one of these but still haven’t used it yet

    i just put a heat metallic tint on a family members car. Cost an arm and leg more but supposedly it’s keeping the car from becoming stifling hot

    Where do you purchase the bug screens that go between front grill and AC condenser/radiator?

    My TACOMODS radio knobs arrived last weekend. Install took 30 seconds...pull the old knobs off, pop the new knobs on...and I can grip the radio knobs!

    @Ilovetacos4x4 Couldn’t find one to buy that suited my taste and budget, so I bought some 1/8” hardware cloth and window screening from Amazon. Cut the 1/8” to fit so I could zip-tie it in front of the AC condenser, then zip-tie the screening in front of that. Tried to avoid contacting any hoses/wires with the cut wire edges. Total cost ~$20. Not exactly a clean looking install with the hood up, but seems to work well, and isn’t visible outside the grille anyway.

    I’m looking at both of these right now while waiting on delivery of truck. Asking my sales guy if they can install the OEM remote tailgate lock. (I am not handy Lol) What tonneau cover did you go with? I want to start out with something on the more affordable end as I’m not sure what my needs will be long-term, but def want something on there at first.

    I did the RAV4 knob swap also. I like the fact that the backlighting is on the front of the knobs and fully visible.
