Start with a TRD Off-Road model. Double cab is a must if you want your friends to ride along and opt for the short bed unless you’re hauling big loads. The automatic transmission makes more sense in an off-road-focused truck, too. The total so far is $36,115.
Add $3,505 for the “Premium Package with options” which brings leather, a premium audio system, a sunroof, blind spot monitoring, parking sensors and more. The total, as-equipped, is $39,620.
