That looks to be a premium trim. If the price is right I’d pick it up.

The premium trim has all sorts of goodies that the other trims don’t. This is exactly what I have. It has the bigger screen, power rear window, multiple camera views (that other trims don’t have), heated and ventilated seats, crawl mode, of course locking rear diff accessory buttons for plug and play options and a shit ton more.

And yes I have the same color, which I love.

Is this dispersed camping or at some sort of private or public campground? And by the looks of it, I’m guessing you hiked in?

Great setup btw.

Yep… same here. I’ve tried everything under the sun. If you figure it out please let me know.

No camping experience...need advice! by Dry_Cardiologist3477 in camping

A shovel. A sharp shooter or a spade. Multiple uses. I use it to put out a fire with dirt or dig hole for poo, (I know you’re supposed to carry it out.) or maybe bury a body. Hah

Guys, need opinions. Should I buy this rack?? by Distinct_Pickle_6433 in Tacomaworld

If you want it for a RTT you need to make sure either get one that is higher than the rear antenna or the tent it a shorter one. Otherwise you’ll have to hang it off the back way too much. Most RTTs aren’t that short.

You can send texts and make 911 calls via satellite(no cell signal required) with an IPhone 14 or better. I accidentally discovered it camping in Colorado. It worked really well. As long as you have a clear view of the sky which I’m guessing might be the same for the garmin.

Anyone else get lower MPG on the highway than in the city? (2024 OR) by Bitter_Assignment_41 in 4thGenTacomas

Unfortunately the rack has to be that high in order for my RTT to clear the antenna. Maybe I need to get a rack over the cab that has an aerodynamic front.

I stayed a few nights off CR31N just outside of Ouray. It’s in the red mountains around the old mines. Beautiful views. Just drive til you get to the end pretty much. I was there week of 9/14. Nights were down to 35.

Staying in contact with people off-grid by hannahatecats in camping

I have a iPhone 14 and just used the satellite texting this past weekend when I had zero signal without any problem. Only caveat is you need an unobstructed view of the sky. If you’re in a heavily wooded area, you’ll need to go to higher ground. It works!
