    Hello, and glad to join the mix. Just acquired a new 2022 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-Road Premium today. I put 104 miles on it today bringing it home, and loved every minute of it. The difference between the T4R and the Tacoma I traded in is night and day. The T4R has a much better ride, and better quality. Glad to join the group, and hopefully, I can learn a few things while I am here.

    Just brought mine home today as well, also put on just over 100 miles, and yes enjoyed the ride over the Tacoma, but more importantly, the wife enjoyed it more.

    Let me ask a couple of question fellows. I have just learned about Toyota’s KDSS system. Never heard of it until after I had purchased my 4Runner. My 4Runner did not come with it. Should I be disappointed that it does not have it? Am I missing out on a feature that I should have waited on finding a vehicle that had it on it? Looking at CarGurus, I cannot even find one close to my area for sale. Thanks in advance.

    I wanted KDSS, but don’t seem to come up this way. I think it’s great until something goes wrong, then it’s expensive, so I’m not sad I didn’t get it, I’ll go after market and probably do better.

    Same thing here. Is the KDSS option a regional thing, where some regions get more than others? There are only a handful within 500 miles of me.

    But standard in Canada on off road premiums I believe. I have no clue why it’s so hard in some places, but others the fall off the boat..

    Exactly. I couldn’t find a single one available at any dealership in Kentucky, or in Tennessee for that matter, from what I remember.
