    Stock, for now
    I have been planning to purchase a Tacoma for years and finally pulled the trigger this week. I found a White 2017
    $151 4-door QAA is Compatible with 2016-2020 Toyota Tacoma 6 Piece Stainless Body Molding Insert Trim Kit, 1.5" Width MI16172
    4-door TRD Off-Road that will be my daily driver and also the source of some off-road fun!

    Since I have a daily commute of 80 miles round trip, I am not looking to make any aggressive changes that would impact my mpg, but am interested in any thoughts or ideas for upgrades that more experienced members may have.

    What upgrades have you loved, which would you avoid and what advice do you have for a first time Taco owner?

    Thanks,
    Jim
