    Hello,

    I got my 2023 Limited 2WD from South Austin on Dec 31. The color... I love it! I didn't think I would ever own a truck let alone a brown truck. The Camry used to be mine but after I got rear-ended in 2020 on my birthday I knew I wanted something beefier but didn't have the funds now I work as a draftsman and eventually plan to use this truck to build my own off-grid cabin in Texas.

    First thing I wanna do is turn off the fake engine noise but the dealer wants $90 to take a look at it yea no lol but I plan to keep it stock for now and do break-in oil change at 1K miles and 5K interval after that and I'm really impressed with the fuel economy as well city gets 19 mpg and the highway is 23 mpg on the trip economy it's definitely skewed due to longer high idle in the mornings.

    How much did it cost to buy and install the TRD lift kit?

    Parts $2995/Labor $1400. That is about par for labor, parts can be found cheaper. I have heard people saying they got the lift parts at www.sparksparts.com for cheaper. For me that was what dealer offered and weren't coming down on price. If I bought else where and installed after purchase, I couldn't roll into finance, or get the full 36,000 mile warranty on the lift, so it fit my needs.

    Overall, I am very impressed with the lift, and the components that are included. It is far superior to any leveling or spacer kit. You get everything you need and it maintains stock handling and ride quality.
