    I'm looking to buy a new Tundra in May which will be my 3rd. I deliver expedited industrial parts and umpire college softball.

    My next truck with be a 2017 5.7 SR5

    My ideas so far are a magnetic grey truck, aftermarket predator steps, extang 2.0 tri fold cover, bed rug mat, drop in bed liner if it doesn't have one, husky liners, clazzio quilted seat covers with a dash mat to match, bugflector, vent visors, black and silver bull bar, darker tint, lockerdown for the console, led interior kit, paracord sterring wheel cover, and bully dog to try to increase mpg by 2. That would save me $1,500 per year.

    Any suggestions are appreciated. I'm going for a meaner truck look this time. It will be my 3rd Tundra and 5th between my dad and I.

    I live in Alabama close to the Talladega Race Track.

    Holy shit. I have a 2012 and only have 60k :bowdown:

    Personally I would go with a spray in liner instead of a drop in. Bed rug wouldn't slip as much and no chance of rust underneath. Just my 2 cents

    I have a spray in now and some of the large crates, motors, gear boxes that they load in my truck with a fork lift have actually dented my truck bed toward the cab of the truck. I agree with the opinion about spray in but I think with what I actually haul a drop in might provide more protection.

    Welcome bud. No plans to try for a mill? I'm sure Toyota would want another to prove it wasn't a fluke.

    And might get a free Tundra out of it to boot.
