The only mod I did was deciding to get the SR5 instead of the SR, and that was suggested by my wife after a test drive. 😁 I've added a few inexpensive things from Amazon: mudflaps, a magsafe wireless charger, a bed extender for my kayak, and a cheap tonneau, but nothing was actually modified.

I'm kind of surprised that the mileage is good. It has 4WD and weighs 1000 lbs more than my '12 Access Cab 4-cyl AT 2WD. It does have an 8 speed versus a 4 speed transmission, and I never feel it hunting for gears, so it must be pretty well programmed. Gave the '12 to my son last week...

Added the Rav4 volume knob, big improvement with the rubber texture and greater depth; glows at night, too. Funny thing is my wife's '22 RAV4 XLE does not have this knob, hers is more like the 8" Tacoma knob.

Installed a MaxxHaul bed extender at lunch today for kayak; $59 @ Amazon. Assembly was simple, only needed a 3/4" socket. Seems pretty stable, also got their hitch stabilizer for long trips. Going to zip tie foam pipe insulation to the cross piece. Note: the hitch pin that came from the...

They were $39 on Amazon, no drill. Fit well, and give decent coverage for stock SR5 tires.

Picked up a new 2025 Underground SR5 4WD 4-door on 4/9. So far I've: 1. Upgraded volume knob on my 8" screen to the RAV4 knob 2. Installed Zekzepp mudflaps 3. Installed Magsafe wireless iPhone charger 4. Installed Autosaver88 soft trifold tonneau cover today 5. Added 4-pack of headrest...

I've had a 2012 SR5 Access Cab 2WD 2.7L since 2014. I've loved the truck, only thing I've needed has been tires, brakes, a power steering pump, and an AC line. It now has 235K miles. Wife suggested we look at replacing it with 4-door, earlier than I would have because of the tariff...

Just bought a 2025 SR5 4WD last week, gave my 2012 SR5 2WD to my son. I collect Matchbox and Hot Wheels Toyota trucks, especially the Tacoma variants and the Toyota Off-Road Truck. I haven't seen the 2024 in stores yet. I've seen pics of 3 variants; a regular blister card, a short blister...
