What’s up, Outsiders?
Looks like Toyota's decided to slap some racing stripes on the Tundra and call it a day. The 2025 TRD Rally Package is here, complete with fancy Baja-inspired decals that'll make you feel like Ivan "Ironman" Stewart himself – right up until you get stuck in the Walmart parking lot. But hey, at least you'll look good doing it! Meanwhile, our gear guru's drooling over the ØN1 Bench Seat Organizer, probably because it's the only thing that'll keep their truck from looking like a tornado hit it. And for those of you torn between the new Tacoma and Tundra, just remember: one's a nimble trail runner, the other's a land yacht. Choose wisely, or don't. Either way, you'll be spending more time at the gas pump than on the actual trail.

Your Moment of Zen
What did you think?
Now it's your turn, Outsiders. Did Toyota's Baja-inspired decals make your heart race, or did you roll your eyes so hard you saw your own brain? Are you ready to turn your truck into a mobile filing cabinet with the ØN1 organizer, or is your idea of organization just having a general idea of which pile of gear contains your clean socks? And in the great Tacoma vs. Tundra debate, are you Team Nimble or Team Land Yacht?
Spill your guts in the comments – your fellow overlanders need to know if they should invest in racing stripes or just stick to mud as their preferred vehicle decoration.
