    Just got a new 2020 Off Road, thinking of removing the decals on the bed for a cleaner look. Don't really car for the red in the decal for the silver truck. Any suggestions on removal from those who have done it?
    Thanks

    Theres threads about it.
    I just did it...microfiber towels and goof off worked for me.

    Wait for a hot day...peel off slow.
    Then microfiber towels with goof off.

    Some ppl.have used goo gone
    ..other ppl say wd-40 works but it tried wd and it did.nothing.

    Good luck

    I just got it going and peeled it off by hand. Used some goo gone to get rid of the bulk of what's left and figure that's good enough. Heat did help, ie the side in the sun came off better.

    Lots, straight from the factory.
    I’ve always used a heat gun or hair dryer. Perl and take care of the excess with isopropyl alcohol. Wash and wax afterward.

    My truck is new so the stickers didn't really set that firmly. On the one side of the truck that was sitting in the sun all day, I used a fingernail to gently lift a corner and then slow peeled the whole thing away. On the other side, I used a hair dryer to warm up the glue and it peeled right off. For some reason, my trusty Go Gone didn't work. I think it was because it got colder and the glue kind of hardened again. I bought some Turtle Wax bug and tar remover, let it sit (following the instructions) and it came off perfectly clean. Not a bad idea to have a bottle of that stuff on hand anyway. Light coat of wax and they were never there.

    Hope that helps ...

    Hair dryer and some patience. Then seal it with wax.

    The sooner you do it, the easier they will come off.

    I took mine off within the first couple days.

    I parked where the sun would heat up the metal on one side, removed the decal on that side, reparked so the other side would heat and they peeled right off without leaving any residue.

    Mine came off the day I got it, decals just peeled right off, stuckum on my workshop wall. Emblems came off with a plastic scraper after sitting in the sun couple hours, some sticky residue was left so wiped with some thinner on microfiber rag than waxed.....way easier to wash and wax now. No regrets

    I like the idea of taking off the decals... Especially the ones from the dealer...
    I just ordered a 2020 SR5 in Silver Sky Metallic so I'll clean it up when I get it... :)

    just wait till online sale come around at the dealers like trdparts4u and what not. these emblems are pricey. going anywhere from 40-60 a pop. im going for a certain look so it was worth it to me. the pic below is where it sits on a sequoia; lower door. im gonna put mine on the tailgate. i dunno if im gonna go upper right like how the xrunners have theirs or where the 'v6' emblem is now and have the 'trd' center stacked over the 'sport'.
