Take it easy folks, this is no way to start off a new members thread.

Man, internet forums are great, and this one is especially active for this model of Tacoma. It's a huge resource, you're in the right place.

 

Welcome!

My Tacoma didn't really come with anything too. It was just what was offered on the vehicle I was interested in. Kind of have mixed feelings about buying with the truck or buying later. Where if it comes with the truck you can negotiate the overall prices to try to get a good deal on the entire package. But it does make it easier to judge and compare price points between different Tacomas.

I found this thread when trying to find places to buy OEM parts:

I ended up buying from Conicelli and was pretty satisfied with the pricing and shipping. I'm not too far away from there so shipping was quick.

I think the other vendor mentioned, Gunny, is in Arizona and I didn't want to wait for the part to ship across the country. But it sounds like members are happy with the prices from there.

As previous poster mentioned, check Amazon too. With my previous truck I would be able to find OEM parts at same or better prices on Amazon and you get the free two day shipping if you have Prime.

 

I purchased my truck with no dealer/port installed accessories and bought just what I wanted later. Saved a bunch.
I got an OEM bed mat and OEM mud guards here - https://trdparts4u.toyotaofdallas.com/
I purchased Goodyear floor mats and Lund 5 inch nerf bars from Amazon.
I also got a front window tint at a local shop.
Less than 400 USD for everything.
By the way, nice truck. Only your 4th vehicle in 35 years? Wow. I guess if I don't count all the hoopties from my college years - I'm at 5.

I search the internet for the lowest Toyota dealership prices on the accessories I want and my local dealership matches the prices ... it’s often 20-25% off retail prices.

 

Same for me, they always treat me right on all the accessories I have bought from them.

 

Welcome, my 19 is a month old. Already purchased a bed mat form Toyota, Extang Bed Cover from Real Truck & Inchannel AVS window vents from Auto anything. Hope that helps a little.

 

Running boards aren't too popular around here. Everyone feels you should skip them and bolt on rock sliders. I kinda get it, but not all of us need sliders or want the extra weight. Good news for you is that running boards pop up pretty regularly in the market place because most people take them off to put sliders on. If you have a little patience, you can get some all most new oem running boards for a good price. Just check the market place regularly
