    Are you sure you got the tech package included? I only ask because I just got the same truck, and correct me if I'm wrong, but the tech package includes BSM, rear back up, and lane departure warning and should have the color matched rear bumper w/ sensors. Just want to make sure you're actually getting what the dealership is claiming to be selling you. Either way, nice truck, congrats.

    That’s premium package dude. They are separate. Tech package just is BSM and cross traffic alert, comes with color keyed bumpers.
    You can have tech and premium which is probably what you are thinking.

    I had a similar issues with my 06 frontier. It was the 4x4 nismo DCSB. It was a great truck but I caught the dealer trying to hide the strawberry milkshake of death from me. I was so mad about them intentionally trying to hide it that I drove it across the street to the Toyota dealership to trade it for a tacoma.

    I know it's premium and you can actually have premium by itself without tech pkg with chrome rear bumper caps.

    I have the same truck with tech and premium packages. Still loving it at 3 months. It’s a cool color...not so common, understated, but refined. Nice contrast with the black trim.

    And as a bonus it doesn’t show dirt or water spots much at all. I’m not bragging—it’s been raining every other day for a couple of weeks—but I haven’t washed for weeks, and you really can’t tell it’s not clean.

    Slightly correct, premium package without tech still has color matched bumpers, just without the sensors. OPs truck has chrome bumpers meaning it’s neither and negates you asking about leather and a sunroof especially since he never mentioned premium but tech.

    Premium does come sometimes with chrome bumper caps but maybe that is only on the manual trans ones but I do know I have seen them
