    I have a 2013 Tundra Base Model 2WD , I think it is called Grade, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .

    Anyway, in the past I have does trim level upgrades on other base model vehicles. I am curious and literally just starting to think about this.

    My question is, what sort of things are available on higher trim models that I don't know I am missing?

    There's an unlimited number of mods so you don't really need to be limited to up trim options... Especially since third-party upgrades are often newer, better and cheaper. For example, CarPlay head units, front and back cameras, or video rear view mirrors.

    But swapping in a Limited cluster is easy.

    Where did you get this mod and does it change the orange?

    I added steering wheel controls, auto headlights, glass break sensor for factory alarm, the information button, and the optitron gauge cluster to my base truck.

    There's a thread on this forum though I couldn't immediately find it... But the new cluster is an optiron cluster and I bought one from a 2013 Tundra and just directly swapped it in. The mileage was higher and you can get that changed but I don't care.

    You can buy one programmed here: https://www.taninautoelectronix.com...a-tundra-limited-optitron-instrument-cluster/

    Here's one on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/3856666285...EiERqs-QJm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    I got lucky and found one for $65.
