Great looking rig! Are my eyes playing tricks on me, or are all of the badges including the Iforce Max badges bronze colored?
You're correct, the iForce Max badges on the hood and tailgate are bronze, along with the TRD Off Road on the C pillars. Normally they'd all be black.

Just got the call! My Hybrid TRD Off-Road Premium is on the lot!! Will pick it up on Saturday.

This is the first hybrid that my dealer has received -- I've been on their waiting list with a deposit since early April, 2024. I was notified of the allocation after it was already built and enroute, and was easily able to edit the port-installed options. I added the bronze badging all around and removed roof cross bars and mudflaps.

It has the moonroof, which I wanted, as well as the auxiliary switch pre-wiring. Ideally I would have swapped that for the tow tech package, but beggars can't be choosers!

Better photos to come this Saturday. Purchasing at MSRP with a 4.99% rate though a local credit union. TFS did not have a competitive rate.

Awesome! Can't wait to read about your experience on the hybrid! Is this Longo in El Monte? Looks like it.

First mods are gonna be a FitCamX dash cam, StickerFab topo dash vinyl & cargo net, Carista subscription, light window tint for the front windows, Protech screen protectors, and possibly a Trailhunter or Rival skid plate.

Will be taking it out ASAP to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and then later to Death Valley and the Eastern Sierras. We'll see if I need to replace those Michelin LTX Trail "all terrains" with something a little more substantial (in the stock size).
Can't wait to hear about your mods and experience. I'm in SoCal too. I really want to have a dashcam and digital rear view mirror (so that I can install a swing-out spare tire carrier and still see out the rear).

There is a non-hybrid black color TRD OP in Orange county but no black color car in hot Socal for me!

Yes, Michael is my salesperson. I'm not sure what the TFS rate was, maybe 7.5%... The only special rates are on Tundras now. Their finance department can help you find a better rate or you can shop around yourself.

Looks phenomenal! Question. I’m looking at a few TRD off roads with the black wheels and they have a “center caps blk” option as well for 20 dollars. Do you know what that is? Yours doesn’t seem to have it. I like the red TRD on the wheels

@Jpr18 Thanks for sharing the detail. Appreciate it. I'll probably will buy it from Longo too. I probably don't need the wheel upgrade.

How exactly do the prewrired switches work? Do they all have wires run to relays in the engine compartment so you can just connect anything to the relays then switch them on and off?

Ps: what's the difference of sunroof and moonroof?

No idea what the black center cap option is... sounds like something dealer or region installed.

You can connect lighting or whatever you want to connect to wiring pigtails that plug into a connector under the hood. The connection provides power, ground, and the switch. It connects to a series of auxiliary switches near the driver's left knee.

There's no difference between a sunroof and moonroof.

I will add: digital rear view mirror, cargo cover.
Just an FYI, if your car is processed thru the Long Beach port, they don't have cargo covers. My salesperson said no builds with cargo covers actually arrive with them. I'll try to find it at a local dealer parts department or see if Longo will throw one in.

Um... Didn't know it's that hard. If not, I hope it can be ordered from the part dept. I hope it's as easy as my 4th gen's that just pops in and out.
