    Just wanted to introduce myself. I’m from Lebanon, OH (near Cincinnati) and I just recently bought a 2022 Tacoma TRD Sport DCLB in Lunar Rock. Before buying I did a lot of reading and lurked quite a bit on this forum. This community was very helpful. Looking forward to learning more!

    Yes - but like drinking from a fire hose. Amazing info but also overwhelming!

    Welcome and ask away!
    Bed mat first.
    265 70 17 biggest you can fit.
    Use ECT mode for better shifting.
    OCI is 10K but some are smarter than Toyota
    It will tow
    20 mpg is fine.
    There.

    Ha. Hope this helps. This was at the dealership.

    Since then, I’ve done some minor “mods”:
    - Sold predator steps and put on a used set of OEM tubes
    - Added an AVS bug deflector
    - Added Tyger roll up bed cover
    - Added bed mat
    - Added some used coverking seat covers
    - Added gas cap hole
    - Picked up a couple meso-customs key fobs
    - Replaced the black engine push start button with a red button from meso

    Edit: forgot one - I swapped interior lights and license plate lights with leds using a kit from Amazon

    Ha. This is shockingly accurate which what I’ve researched.

    FWIW, my first tank averaged 19.9 mpg (a lot of highway) and second averaged 18.7 mpg (mostly city). Both calculated by hand. I was pretty satisfied with that. We’ll see where the third tank lands.
