    Hey all! New here :oldglory:. We have a 2017 TRD OR & I was wondering what accessories you all recommend?

    Soft or hard shell topper (we have dogs and kid stuff to tote around for trips) pros and cons? Storage for the bed of the truck? Thanks!

    The OEM bed mat is a must have in my book. Keeps stuff from sliding all over the place in the bed of the truck.

    As for storage, I have a tonneau cover and keep a Rubbermaid Action Packer in the bed. It's plastic, but fairly sturdy, inexpensive, and it's large enough for what I carry around with me.

    Welcome!
    Bed mat is a must, OEM worth the money. For bed top? There's an entire sub forum here, check it out, lots of info and pics.

    Welcome!

    As a fellow 2017 TRD OR owner (same color!) I second (third?) the motion on the bed mat.

    If you are in CA (as I am!) get the Sabellco tailgate theft prevention device, a well as a spare tire lock.

    Power tailgate lock and bed lights are also good and useful mods.

    Hang on to your wallet! It's going to be a ride! :thumbsup:

    Thank you all for your responses! I would respond to each of you but I don't want to blow up the feed :D. Definitely starting with the bed mat and going from there! Luckily it was already lifted and has upgraded rims/tires. Wooo!
