    I now have a 2021 Pro, and before that I had a 2018 TRD Offroad, I'm planning a build for. My question is what electronics will be effected by lifting my new truck? Specifically, any of the TSS, or blind spot monitoring system be effected.
    The speedometer, and TPMS are a given, just concerned about the newer gadgets on the Taco..

    2021 will have the same gadgets as the 2018 did.

    But TPMS is not affected by a lift.

    The TSS sensor in the front grill may or may not, its a gamble sometimes if you will have issues. Many lift with no issues, others lift and have issues.

    Blind spot should not as its just looking for things on your side, doesnt read distance to ground.

    Everything should be recalibrated, forward radar and camera. Rear BSM/RCTA isn't critical, but is affected, and can be recalibrated.

    Maybe phone a dealer and see if they will cut a decent deal to do the calibrations. It's not cheap sadly. I'd help you guys out if you were local to me.

    Both TSS sensors (behind grill and in windshield) may act kinda funny for a few days and the warning lights will disappear after a while. I can't say for sure that the TSS sensors will work as efficiently as they should because mine will sometimes tell me to brake for absolutely no reason (I have a pro grill).
