5 Must-Have Mods For Your Toyota Tacoma in 2023

Whether you’ve had your 3rd Generation Toyota Tacoma for several years, or you bought one in the last year or so, there are a few mods we feel are absolute must-haves for any Tacoma. These mods improve performance, add style, or give your Tacoma more storage options. Read on to learn about the 5 Must-Have Mods for your Toyota Tacoma in 2023.

Pedal Commander PC38

Let’s kick things off with one of the most popular 3rd Generation Tacoma mods we offer: Pedal Commander PC38. For many of us, one of the most frustrating things about the Tacoma is its throttle response. Because the vehicle operates via an electronic throttle body and a computer managed input from the throttle pedal, there’s a considerable delay between the time you press the throttle pedal and when the power kicks in.

If you’ve ever tried passing a semi truck going up hill in your Tacoma, you know how it is to press the pedal and feel nothing for about one second. The Pedal Commander PC38 helps alleviate this delay by controlling the throttle response of your Tacoma. By connecting the PC38 into your throttle pedal you’re given the ability to adjust the throttle response timing of your Tacoma. In fact, the Pedal Commander has 36 individual settings so you can adjust things exactly to your liking and driving habits. Aside from the immediate improvement in throttle response, Pedal Commander users have seen improved fuel economy, and greater satisfaction from their Tacoma. Buy a Pedal Commander and see for yourself!

Prinsu Cab Rack For Tacoma (2005-2023)

While most Tacomas come from Toyota with a set of roof rails or some sort of “rack” there’s not a lot you can do with them without modification or additions. You could spend all your money trying to make the factory roof bars work, but in many cases its a better option to ditch the original equipment and add a functional aftermarket roof rack. One of our absolute favorites is the Prinsu Cab Rack. It adds a lot more capability to storing and transporting gear on the roof of your Tacoma, and looks great doing it.

The Prinsu Cab Rack system comes standard with 6 load bars and are full adjustable to accommodate pretty much whatever gear you want to put on top. We’ve loved seeing people put everything from Storage Boxes and Rooftop Tents, to Showers and Awnings on there. The possibilities are seemingly endless and we encourage your to experiment and figure out what works best for you.
