Yes and no. I have a 2017 4x4 dual cab SR. By memory I got Toyota to supply the tow bar, tinted windows, paint and paint protection, tonneau cover with bar and mats. The car was about 50k drive away (with 5k GST claim back straight away.)
I got a genuine Toyota alloy bull bar off gumtree (for a fraction of the price) and a set of SR5 rims with new Michelin tyres for a grand (ebay). I sold the SR tyres (Geolandars) on ebay and bought 265/70/17 BF Goodrich muddies and put them on the SR steel rims for off-roading days.
The ute is an ongoing project. Last year I added a safari snorkel.
This year it came out of warranty so last month so I gave her a 2" lift (bilsteins) and next week I'm putting on a winch (another ebay bargin).
She keeps growing and getting better, I love the ute.
