    2014 Limited TRD Off Road
    A year and a half ago I went from an '06 Titan with 180,000 miles (which I loved) to a near-new 2017 Ford Edge, thinking I wouldn't need a truck for a while since my wife and I were moving cross country and going to live in an apartment. Yesterday I went in for an oil change in my Edge and left in this 2014 Limited TRD Off Road; the dealer took my offer of a one-for-one trade, all I paid was a processing fee and -$0.31 in taxes because the purchase price was basically -$5. I did my homework beforehand and am confident I got a good deal, the Edge had 27,000 miles on it and it already needed new tires. Tundra has 92,000 miles, a perfect maintenance record, single owner history, no accidents, all manuals and records retained and looks in great shape. I also had a second dealership verify their maintenance and safety inspection. I also purchased a 3 year, 45,000 mile total coverage warranty for $1,900.

    Super excited to look into tweaks I can make on the vehicle, which I am planning on lasting me a long time. I don't have a lot of mechanical experience, and I don't want to be that guy who makes a bunch of aesthetic modifications (new amp/speakers, CarPlay enabled stereo, Roof Rack, etc.) before making sure I am maximizing the performance on the Truck. It has the 5.7L iForce with all stock but brand new filters. Shocks are from the previous owner's purchase; as far as I can tell I believe they're the Bilstein suspension system that comes with TRD Off Road's but I could be wrong.

    Long story short, if y'all have any mechanical upgrades you'd recommend I look into before I start adding impractical but cool features I'd be happy to hear them.

    Welcome from TX!

    The Pedal commander is a quick PnP device that will wake up the throttle response. It has a CAI so you do not need another. Some do the SABM mod for more air flow.

    Great advice, I was already looking at the TRD CAI so that would be great instead
