    Hi everyone, I just got my first truck ever, a TRD Off Road I-force max, blue crush metallic. (It's PURTY.) It came with running boards, mud guards, 14" screen, sunroof, light-up logo (that's a little OTT for me). I got a fairly inexpensive floor liner and bed-liner on Amazon that it turns out is great and fits perfectly (and I was very happy to have that bed liner to pull out and hose off when I got hit by a truly malevolent goose fly-over). I just ordered a Truxedo Pro X15 cover (I want a soft roll-up cover and there was a good Labor Day deal). Only thing I don't like about the covers is that I guess you can't move the tie-down cleats along the bed rails.
    Trying to figure out the best settings for the terrain I'm in regularly, which is steep dirt and gravel roads and uneven grassy slopes with the occasional rock outcroppings. Range is 10-30% grades. So far, I've tested the crawl control on the steeper downhills and it's pretty cool, and I used the Mts in 4lo, auto going up. I'm interested to know what settings are generally best on gravel. It's very fun to drive. I look forward to learning from everyone here!

    Nice, you've used your crawl control one more time than I have.

    One thing I like about the crawl control is you can set the max speed you want to go. So the first time I left it in the auto setting, and the next time I tried speeding it up some. Works really well on the not-so-great gravel road. In a couple of days, I'll be testing it there post-storm washout which should be fun as long as I don't think about all the gravel I paid for that washed off the road.
