Port installed Accessories

[kekecarioca]

Hello all,
I wanted to discuss port installed options. I test drove a TRD OR Premium this weekend and it drives eons better that I thought it would. I do have 5th gen experience and it makes my 3rd gen feel like a coke can on the road... Anyways I did noticed and discussed that that model had some interesting feature I did not know about. This is from Dealer's spec sheet:

- Dash Cam $499
The Integrated Toyota Dashcam is designed to reliably capture video, images, sound and location data while you operate your vehicle. It is designed to being recording upon ignition to capture the drive, or on impact whether moving or while parked. Features include:
•Play back or video download is available via the Smartphone App or PC Tool
• Once downloaded, you can also share these videos on your social media channels
• Includes a 16GB, Industrial Grade Micro SD memory card.

- Cargo Lights, Interior D-Pillar $399

- Ball Mount $89
Ball Mounts are made specifically for use with Toyota tow hitches and help complete the connection between the vehicle's tow hitch and trailer.
Crafted of cold-forged steel for superior strength, the trailer balls include built-in wrench flats for easy installation and torquing and meet or exceed all industry towing standards.

- Roof Rack Cross Bars $430

Also it had a "Connectivity kit" that adds USB c ports, but no sure if that was factory or not....

usually you have 3 options

FIO = factory installed options (also know as packages on toyota website)
PIO = port installed options (usually this is related to each regional port that coordinates vehicle sales, parts, and service for Toyota dealers)

regional ports you can usually find on google maps and are just an off loading huge parking lot with a rail head. this is usually just a small part of a regional port.

DIO = dealer installed options (usually you dont want to go this route as the dealer has to order the parts and will charge you more than if it was a FIO/PIO to install it and to acquire the parts)


here is my pic from the tundra forums i took from google maps way back when to give an idea.

the yellow arrow is the railhead branch to the parking lot
big yellow oval is the railcars
the red arrow shows how the cars are unloaded from the rail cars via a ramp system

this is the kansas city regional port unloading parking lot
