    In no particular order- Tonneau cover, weather tech floor liners, running boards, rear seat and door panel covers because of the dog. Was okay with the add on options-spray in bed liner, TRD exhaust, TRD shifter, TRD air filter. I am sure I will be spending a lot more money on wheels/tires and suspension upgrades.

    Trying not to mod it
    My list is going for an all purpose approach that I think every 3rd Gen (2.5 Gen) Tundra can benefit from.

    1 - After market skid plates; because the stock ones are a joke and even a pavement princess doesn't want road debris cutting lines or poking holes in things.

    2 - Some form of console organizer; because that giant footlocker of a console has more room than Mary Poppins' purse.

    3 - Real truck tires; even if you don't get different wheels or want to keep to lighter rubber, you can do better than the stock ones.

    4 - Interior chrome delete (cupholer and shifter trim being primary concerns); because even if you like chrome NOBODY wants to be blinded while cruising down the road.

    5 - Extra money down on every monthly payment; because the less interest you pay the more fuel you can buy.

    My list is a little different and I think everybody probably has a different top 5. My truck is my daily driver/weekend warrior so I wanted to do it right. If I did it again I probably wouldn't go all out on the suspension because it is definitely overkill for what I use the truck for but it is nice nonetheless. Also if I bought a new tundra and not a 13 year old one, it would probably be different.

    1. suspension
    2. wheels/tires
    3. high flow air filter in stock housing
    4. LED interior lighting
    5. air bags/cradles for towing

    Update to my last post

    2021 TRD Pro
    1) Upgraded tires to 275/70/18 BFGs. Noticed slight loss in responsiveness and mpg, glad I didn't go bigger.
    2) Tint driver and passenger windows
    3) Console safe (came with truck, but would add if I didn't have)
    4) Frac harness for front camera (just ordered)....ideally would like to get a mini DVR connected to it.
    5) ESP storage - will add when I can take out the car seat next year.
    6) Driver side post handle

    2020 Tundra SR5 TRD in Cement Grey
    Bed Rack, Decked System, Softopper
    1. Bedliner
    - I got Line-X from the dealer
    2. Topper \ Storage (all these were less than a heavy duty topper. I got the bedrack because I love rolling my rear window down.)
    - Bedrack from Datin
    - Drawers from Decked
    - Softtopper
    3. Rock Sliders (planned next)
    - I plan on going with RCI for these
    4. Platform on Cab (after sliders)
    - This allows me to carry longer material for work, and add any smaller items - traction boards, jack, possibly awning, shovel etc...
    5. Not sure what will be next, possibly a compressor, second battery\12 volt system but will probably...
    - Probably trade my 18" factory wheels with 17" steel wheels.
    6. I would like to do a small lift, maybe 2" but at this point have other more pressing financial priorities like a new guitar...

    They are fitted to a specific truck, but can sometimes fit other pickups, just might not look the best.
