    Am new to the forum - just picked up a '21 4Runner - I jumped on this a couple of weekends ago as it had only 15K miles on it and was in immaculate condition - was the SR5 so compromised on a few features - but am sure can mod it up before long if the boss let's me - but since we live in the rust belt - first items am getting Winter Tires, Husky Mats, and of course rust proofing as previous owner did not get it done - but I looked underneath and there was no rust - bonus as it came in the exact colour I was looking for - I liked the white colour and one dealer said that is the most popular colour - but have one white vehicle before and never again. Future mods include upgrading the tires and wheels - so am open to suggestions - won't be doing very little off road as it will be a daily driver but the tires on there now are crap - but the dealer just replaced the fronts at no extra cost so have time to look.

    One item I need a reco on is - seat covers - this model as you may know comes with Softex - so am looking for something half decent, water repellent, and pet friendly - LMK.

    Attached is a pic of the new ride.

    Welcome to the forum form North Carolina. The 2021 I had with softex performed a lot better than I had anticipated and surprised me.

    Welcome. :tumbleweed: I'm very happy with the Softex that my used 4Runner came with so far, but I don't have pets.

    Welcome! That's the color I was aiming for, but like many others on here I ended up with white.

    Thanks for all the welcome replies - I did notice alot of white ones on the used market - one of the dealers said it was the most popular and had a good resale value - they do look nice but IMO too hard to keep clean - have had white and never again - I had considered black (shows the dirt/scratches too much), silver (had silver before), and I had looked at red but IMO the red did not look quite right for a 4R - I just lucked out with the exact colour I was looking for which was the dark grey.
