    Hey all,

    I'm new here from the St. Louis area. I have a 22 4Runner ORP with KDSS in Army Green. I was hoping to do some trails with it but haven't found any convenient to the area. Does anyone know of any? I'm also looking to sell it, but apparently, I can't post to the classifieds for 30 days. I'm getting the itch to go back to a pickup truck.

    Anyway, just wanted to say hi.

    -Dave

    It might be a selling point if you can say you bought it new and it’s never seen a trail.

    Well, I didn’t buy it new, but it’s never seen a trail.

    If a buyer can look underneath and see a pristine undercarriage with nary a scratch or dent on the skid plates that’s a plus.

    Welcome! Nice ride! I’m also in the St Louis area. My vote is keep the 4 runner and buy a Tacoma lol.

    I’m with MO4RUNNIN, if at all possible keep that gorgeous Army Green ORP and pick up a Taco too! I don’t see a lot of Army Green 4Runners in my neck of the woods, a sh#t ton of white though. I should also mention besides my ORP I have a 2014 TRD Taco. Welcome to the forum!

    Hi DesertSurfer! Where in MO roughly are you? Are there any good off-road trails or parks near me in St. Louis?

    I'm actually looking to move to a full-size truck. I REALLY wanted to like the Tundra TRD Pro, but after reading and watching a lot of reviews, I just can't. All kinds of issues were reported. Lower than expected fuel economy, poor build quality with lots of poor fitment and rattles, and then in head-to-head performance comparisons it just doesn't keep up. I actually started looking at tacos when I got the 4runner. I couldn't find exactly what I wanted in a taco, so I went with the 4runner. Plus, the taco's interior isn't family-friendly at all.
