    Had a Blue Tacoma TRD Sport for 10 years, 174K miles, no significant problems. Going down the street 45MPH and a guy left turns right in front of me. Not only smashed the poor truck up, but it caught fire big time. Off to my local Toyota dealer - he had a 2024 blue TRD Sport - perfect, right? Well sadly no. In the new design the back of the front seats goes all the way to the floor - there's no place for the back seat passengers to put their toes. But he did have a 2023 4Runner Limited in Barcelona Red with just 14K miles - its still got the V6 and lots of room in the back seat, so I drove it home.

    Gotta say its pretty nice. What's everybody using for a phone holder?

    Welcome to the forum from North Carolina.
    I use a Weathertech cupfone as it was a gift, but there are multiple options depending on how far you want to go.
    Multiple RAM mount options out there to suite your fancy.

    Welcome! I still own a 2015 2nd Gen Tacoma TRD Sport that is my daily with 127k miles. Love that truck. Sorry to hear about yours. I'm not a fan of the 4th Gen Tacoma either.

    My cell phone mount is from OffRoam.

    Welcome. Lots of former Tacoma owners on here, me included.

    My phone stays in my pocket since I installed an iphone/android wireless dongle.

    I came from a Tacoma TRD OR as well. I liked that truck but I love the 4Runner! Like 2Toys above, I have the OffRoam as well.
    https://getoffroam.com/products/phone-mount-toyota-4-runner-2010-2024 It's a simple, solid mount that keeps my iPhone 15 Max in place. It's a bit pricey but it is a quality piece that does what I need it to do.

    Honestly, I mostly use it on road trips. Around town I use a wireless CarPlay adapter and my phone stays in my pocket.

    Welcome from Wisconsin! We also had a Tacoma before the 4Runner, we like the fact everything in the 4Runner is under the same leak proof roof, and climate controlled.
