    Couldn't pass up the trade in deal that was offered to me on my '17 Taco and had been feeling cramped in there for a while with a family of 5 so I upgraded to a '21 Limited Crewmax 4x4 in Cement. One of the driving factors was my wife wanting to get a camper so before educating myself on the subject (I know, shame on me) I looked at the HP and torque ratings along with the rear end specs and figured I was getting a towing machine until I learned about payload. Oh well, still love the truck and feel like the capacities are conservative.
    So far I've blacked out the badges and plan on adding tow mirrors. I'd like to put 6112s in the front end but don't want to deal with a dealership trying to deny a claim because of an aftermarket part. Want to get different tires, the tires they put on this truck are weak and certainly not made for off pavement driving of any kind. I have 20" rims and am really thinking about dropping down to 18".

    Many options for tow mirrors too, did your truck come with power fold already?

    No power fold or blind spot monitoring. I feel like my "Limited" trim is pretty stripped down but got a great deal on it so I'm good with it. Only have defrost.

    I fully understand. I'm planning to go with tow mirrors in the future but I've decided I want to add the power folding feature with mirrors that stick out further. It's awesome you got a good deal, they are great vehicles.
