    Finally got around to getting my 1st ever tundra last week. Absolutely loving it.

    I’ve put in LED interior lights, tinted from windows and windshield, new mirror caps, TRD shifter, center console organizers, and 6.75” antenna.

    Waiting on some black vent covers and will be doing something to the chrome cup holder trim for sure.

    I wanted to drive a few weeks leaving the chrome handles to see how I’d like the look, but I already know they’re going away. Probably in next month or so.

    Bedliner and cover coming soon as well.

    This forum has been awesome for researching everything.

    Here are some pics.

    Thanks everyone.

    Now I just noticed my bed is not level and started researching the “tundra lean”.

    Front left and right are even. My rear passenger is sitting about 1” higher than driver rear.

    Will the dealership do anything for this under warranty, or is it not considered something that needs fixing based on how prevalent it seems to be?

    Unlikely since part of the reason for the lean is the location of the fuel tank.

    I agree with this. Not only is the gas tank on the left side but so is the heavy ass battery.
    You can get a 1/4” thick spacer to install above the left front coilover. That should work great to fix the lean. Cheap fix.
    I got mine from Toytec but there are other places that sell them also.

    Thanks. Wouldn’t I need to put the spacer on the rear driver side and not front? The front left and right are even. The back right is higher than the left by 1”.

    Interesting enough I measured again today with my tank at 1/4 full and it appears even. I’m going to keep running some measurements over the next few weeks and see if it settles in a bit.

    Oh I didn't realize you said the front is even but the left rear was lower.
    That's strange.
    Maybe the other springs aren't broken in yet but, typically the entire left side is lower which is why there are products made specifically to correct the lean by using a 1/4" spacer on the LF.

    I've never seen anyone do only 1 block on the rear leaf springs. I guess I'm stumped there and I don't have a solution for you.

    I’ve noticed it’s much faster than other color tundras on the road.

    Welcome from SoCal. Color is nice, lots of guys here love MGM! Their dealerships must also have been sold out of black.

    My previous vehicle was black. Needed to switch it up a bit.
