    New to this forum. Last December I finally bought a truck after 30+ years of driving an Accord sedan. Wow!

    So my truck is a 2021 SR5 CM TSS Off-Road with the SR5 upgrade package, cargo lights, sray-on bed liner, power tailgate lock, and window tint to name most of the installed options.

    It is a 2WD in Silver Sky Metallic. Living in South Texas and knowing my most severe "off road" adventure will be on the well traveled beaches of the Padre Islands, I just could not justify a 4x4.

    I really like the Silver/Black vibe of this truck (esp those 20" black matte wheels and AT tires). Thinking of doing bumper and grill chrome delete in time...need to research that!

    So far I have had XPel protective film installed on the upper bumpers, headlamps, partial fenders, partial hood, door handle cups and door edges. I have installed a Rugged Liner tri-fold hard cover (sits on top the bed) and a OEM rubber bed mat.

    Don't drive it all that much...about 1400 miles so far with three fill-ups. The first one was 15.8 mpg, the second 17.6 mpg and the third 17.0 mpg (manually calculated total miles driven divided by gallons pumped). I can live with those last two!

    I think I got pretty good deal. I negotiated a 12% discount off the sticker price and received the KKB "Excellent" (top 3% condition) value for my trade. I sat there with my arms folded like a petulant child until I got my target price and target trade. What really shocked me is my monthly auto insurance dropped by $20..go figure.

    Never been so happy a vehicle since driving my first Corvette to high school.

    Not being any type of expert, I see my participation in the forum to be more of asking questions rather than providing answers. Maybe in a few years that will change.

    Thanks for having me!
