    Finally gave up on buying and Frankensteining old fleet Ford rangers, and dropped far too much money on my first ever new vehicle. A 2023 Tacoma Access cab SR 4x4 2.7L Utility package. I wanted longevity and good gas with the occasional small trailer tow. I don't do much offroading besides getting from a to b. Figure this was going to be the last chance to get a new truck even close to what I wanted.
    Already have a receiver ordered because of course they stripped that with the utility package, came with intermittent wipers though so happy about that. And placed an order for a softopper for it. So far fairly pleased with what I got.

    Recs on basic mods or accessories are welcome.

    I did indeed do my homework. Took a bit to track down a dealership that was getting in what I wanted.

    I actually was thinking of painting them black. And someone local has a full set with stock tires off a 22 with less then 3000 miles on them for 600. Might go pick them up. I like to keep my snows on their own set of rims. Makes it easier to swap em.

    I have black 16x8 rims. I hoped I’d like them but don’t. You can have them for $300 obo 70E026CA-6BAF-4BC2-85BA-245863D06A70.jpg

    Nice! But that'd be a 8 hour round trip drive for me. And shipping on them is not cheap.

    That's the plan! Only reason I'm spending this much on a truck. Never paid more then 2500 before.

    First thing I bought for my truck almost 11 years ago was the liners.

    Where you from?
