    2023 Silver Taco TRD Sport 5ft bed
    None yet
    My wife and I recently moved from a crowded neighborhood to a home with a pond and woods and decided I needed a truck. I shopped for weeks and all the 2-3 year old Tacos weren’t much cheaper than the new ones! I just drove home my new Taco yesterday and I’m in love. 2023 TRD sport in silver. Short bed (long bed with the packages I wanted were hard to find). I have the Advanced technology package and really find the panoramic camera view helpful. I’ve been busy watching YouTube videos of bed covers and other accessories. I love the TRD Pro grill mod but is looks like the Advanced Tech package makes that difficult to add for a reasonable price.

    thanks

    Welcome! If you search around there is a variety of different people who do the camera mods to the grilles that might give some inspiration.
