    Finally, decided I wanted a Tacoma! Started doing some research and was sure I wanted the Inferno? Then maybe the Quicksand? Then leather, No Leather, 4 x 4 ? No 4 x 4? Quickly I realized I had no idea..lol A good Friend of mine knew someone @ a Toyota dealership that was really, really helpful! So, helpful I didn't go with any of my original ideas...Ha Ha. Really happy with my purchase. See below

    Purchased a 2018 TRD Sport 4 x 2 Double Cab in Cement...

    Package Includes

    Technology package
    Tonneau Cover
    All weather mats w/door sill protector
    Truck Exterior Package
    Bed Extender
    5' Oval Tube Step - Black
    Spare Tire Lock
    Exhaust Tip
    Hood Graphic
    TRD Air Filter
    TRD Shift Knob
    Bed step

    I have to say I'm very impressed with the look, and drivability so far. Only issues are typical of Toyota lacking power and heavy! Past cars include a Supra, with my last few cars being Lexus. I currently own a Lexus GSF which I love...

    I told my family and friends I would not do any modding..lol Like that hasn't started already?!?:spending:

    My first mod was somewhat of a shock to me?!? I came home and wanted to program my remotes into the truck? Shocked nothing!
    Called the dealer the next day, and was told there was no homelink mirror available for my truck. After some research I called back
    and gave them a part #87810-04110 of the mirror I wanted. He said it would not work! And could not return it if he was right. Took
    the risk and wouldn't you know works like a charm.

    How much was that? I'll do this when I get mine. Does it work when the power is off? HopoHo it doesn't.
