I picked my truck up this week. It was built end of April. I checked and it has no alternator. I always carry a jump box, but really curious why some have one and some don't. I do plan to do a lot of off-roading/camping, but will not be adding a lot of crazy accessories like light bars or...

Right there with you. Solar Octane is the best!

Picked mine up today. Will be doing very few mods. Some rock sliders, a few skids, and that's about it. I'm not even removing the air dam until I take it off road (after break-in mileage).

I could have gotten a 2024 TRD OR hybrid with upgrade package, 14" screen, moonroof, etc for almost $11k off MSRP. I really wanted to pull the trigger, but I just couldn't convince myself to buy one without MTM. There are great deals out there if you're willing to be flexible on color/options.

Looks great. I love that color, but always amazed at how much it changes depending on the light.

Is that Terra?

I know this is an older post, but I just stumbled across it. I love SO and I'm sad it's not available for 2025. I have a question about this truck. It looks great and I love the BFGs. Does this one have the factory lift? It looks like it does to me, but I'm not a great judge.

100% this. It's so frustrating. I ordered a Bronco and got exactly what I wanted. With Toyota, it's a crap shoot and even if you get what you "want," chances are you're also paying for silly crap you don't want like door edge guards and $70 iphone cables. :mad:

Congrats! Does that truck have SDM? If so, it's exactly what I've been looking for. I can't find a 6speed with premium and SDM in any color, but terra would be my first choice. Awesome truck!!

Did anyone ever verify whether the 2025 TRD OR has fixed this issue?

Thank you! That is exactly what I needed to know. I think it's probably best to just suck it up and get the premium package. Toyota has a kind of screwed up philosophy when it comes to off-roading. You have to buy the most expensive of everything. I'm sure it maximizes revenue, but it sucks...

Hi all. I am new here and considering a Tacoma. I would use it primarily as an off-roader with occasional kick-around town use. I had a Jeep and then a Bronco. The Jeep was great for trail visibility. The Bronco hood was a bit bigger, but I had the full trail cams. The Tacoma hood is...

I'm in the same boat. I had a '21 Bronco Badlands 7-speed soft top. I LOVED it. There was nothing I didn't like about the Bronco except the quality. The soft top was coming apart and the window switches were falling apart after 10k miles. If Toyota made a comparable vehicle, I'd be all in...

Can you share the name of the dealer? I'd drive to NH for a deal like that.
