I generally go down to 20, which isn't that low. I'm on stock 33's and rims, 2026 TRD Pro, no beadlock. I feel like I could go a few lbs lower, but don't know. Any thoughts?

I’m no expert on cars, but I can tell you that if your wife likes it, you should buy it. That said, I can tell you that my 2025 TRD Pro is the most capable vehicle I’ve ever owned. I’ve driven it in the mud of Virginia rivers, to canyons in the Texas Panhandle, and the red dust of Moab. Drive...

I like this idea. How much does the engine cover cost?

I went with Rigid on Wescott brackets. I’m happy.

So basically, the AC switch does nothing except take space on the dashboard.

Interesting. I’m kind of thinking that the switch really does nothing in my TRD Pro with the better climate package. Maybe it’s just a remnant from lower trims without full climate control.

Regardless, it seems a little crazy that on an all day drive the truck feels the need to continuously say READY.

I just find it kind of humorous that it keeps saying READY the whole time the truck is running.

I’ve noticed a green READY indicator at the bottom left of the instrument panel. It’s always on when I’m driving. Just what exactly am I supposed to be ready for?

There is a red OEM rear recovery hook now. My dealer was able to get one an installed it. I do not have the part number. It look great, but it is power-coated red and not anodized like the front hooks.

The mounts are ARB.

It’s called Merus Adventure Park, in Palo Duro Canyon (not the State Park) about an hour from Amarillo. The class was two days, 11 hours the first and 8 hours the second. It includes classroom and wheel time in your own vehicle, as well as live instruction on recovery. It gave me a lot of extra...

Here's another shot from Monument Valley

I’m 3,000 miles and 19 days into a cross country trip in my 2025 TRD Pro. The truck has over-performed in everything from 11-hour days of highway driving to off-roading classes in the Texas Panhandle.
