What to do to a new Gen3

I'm about to take delivery of a new '23 TRD-Off Road. Was curious about what are some things people recommend to do? So far I have this on my list:

- light bar
- trailer brake controller
- tranny cooler
- tonneau cover

I've been waiting more than a year for delivery so I've had time to work on my list.

 

Welcome and congrats.

below has a few ideas

welcome!
the obligatory OEM bed mat is a must!
Also send a little to principle is fun,,,, later down the road anyways

 

OEM bed mat, OEM LED bed lights.
I have a BakFlip G2 tri-fold tonneau cover. This setup works well together.

 

welcome aboard.

 

Pay it off

 

400W anytime mod is a must, and when you do this simple mod be sure to add an a/c power outlet and USB outlet in the back of the console too. Also if you think you'll be adding accessories at all, invest in a power center. I got the Blue Sea and love it, it is halfway filled already: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/just-finished-installing-overland-equipped-power-panel.731714/

 

One negative thing I’ll say about the bed mat is, you can’t slide items in and out, such as as furniture and things.

I use my box quite a bit to transport things and I’m usually solo. I would not be able to do it with the bed mat.

 

Sun visors are always a must for me on any vehicle.

I would also get it fluid filmed while it’s still new.

 

The best mod I’ve ever done!

 

Cut the bed mat in half. One side slippery, one side grippy.

 

Doesn't the Offroad already have a transmission cooler?
I have the MT so I dont need one.

 

They removed them sometime in 2020… apparently it isn’t needed. I checked my trans temp in my 2021 a while back and it rarely went over 195F even when it was 110 out … but I don’t tow

 

I believe in 2020 they removed transmission fluid coolers on all V6s. All TRDs should still have engine oil coolers though. I know I got one in my truck.

 

My pro didn’t

 

What, really? :-0

I guess they cheaper out and removed engine oil coolers around the same time. Hmm

 

Engine oil coolers are there. There is a specific trans cooler that was in front of the radiator for …that went poof post 2020

 

Total Chaos Bed Stiffeners if you plan on using the bed as an actual bed and haul stuff. Only change i've made to mine.

 

Oh I thought you were saying your pro didn’t come with an engine oil cooler.
