    Howdy,
    I just finished reading all the manuals and connecting my phone.
    I love the truck, the dark metallic grey paint and the light interior and the integrated towing features esp the adjustable headlights and the underseat storage.

    Enhancements
    1. I'm going to put slightly bigger 275/60 R20 tires on my rims.
    2. I'm putting on an ARE topper with a Thule kayak rack
    3. Add the 2 additional skid plates that the TRD model has.
    Limitations
    1. I would like to be able to display the MPH rather than the Average MPH, but oh well...
    2. I like the Apple Hands-free, but wish it had Apple Car Play support also.
    3. I noticed that the MPG indicator always shows less MPG than I am actually getting because it continues going down when you are just sitting there with the engine running (which I do a lot since it is a new truck and I'm still figuring out stuff, haha)

    Welcome and enjoy your modding. You get a lot of ideas here. I know my wallet is a bit lighter seeing all of the cool things people on this forum have done.

    Select 'Mode' on the right side of your steering wheel and then use the arrow buttons to go through the menus until you hit the mph screen.

    When you turn your truck off, it will give you the mileage for that trip and your average mpg for that trip.

    Post a pic of your truck!
