ErVikingo, is the step you have on your rock sliders the "clip on" model from Etsy? If so, how do you like it it? I'm thinking of ordering a pair but are they worth $400? thanks!
I paid MSRP for my 2026 TRD PRO Wavemaker. I was one of the first in my area to get this combo so I was fine with paying MSRP. Could have saved a bit if I went with a 2025 TRD Pro Mudbath or waiting longer for the Wavemaker.
Replaced TRD Aluminum Steps with OEM Rock Sliders :)
Tip: If installing by yourself, prop up the front with something and then "hang" the rear onto the top/last bolt (there is a larger opening on the rails specifically for this purpose) and once that is in place you can go back to the front and...
I had the opposite experience, I gave away my aftermarket bed mat (very similar to Lasfit) and bought the OEM and I'm much happier. My bed is full of Milwaukee PackOut Gear (enclosed in a AluCab canopy) and my stuff barely moves even without tie downs.
I'm happy that you are happy with your...
The soft touch/padded materials on the doors and center console (where I rest my elbows) make the driving experience much better compared to the hard/cheap plastics on my 2024 TRD OR. I think Toyota should make soft touch materials standard on the Premium Package.
I also chose the TRD Pro over Raptor.
My reasoning:
Raptor Pros: it is significantly more powerful, has electronically adjustable suspension, front locker, a usable back seat, lower price.
TRD Pro: looks leagues better inside and out (subjective), built to a noticeably higher standard...
I have a 2026 Pro and had a 2024 TRD OR, I wish Toyota made the Iso seats an option. I could fit in the rear seats (5'7'' 190lbs) in the regular tacoma but not behind the Iso seats :frown:
I have a TRD Pro and the intake sounds just like any other CAI, nothing special (unlike the Trailhunter intake which does sound very cool). I also had a 2024 Tacoma OR with the stock intake and if I were you I'd just keep it stock.
I'm very happy with my 2026 TRD Pro Wavemaker (I upgraded from a 2024 Tacoma TRD OR) I like pretty much everything about it, the only negative is that the Iso seats take up so much rear leg room that they are practically useless on longer drives. I can fit (at 5'7'' 190 lbs) but only for short...
Installed Alu Cab Load Bars. It was a pretty easy install, took about 45 mins.
Note: If you want to install a roof top tent you will need the 6 cm feet to clear the shark fin.
