    Oh man what a ride it's been to get to this point...

    I've been wanting a truck/SUV for about 3 years. Saw the TRD Pros and loved the Lunar Rock, but wrote it off as being to expensive.

    Last month I started looking more seriously, was thinking of a GMC Sierra AT4, but can't touch one for less than $70k, which for me is insane money to spend.

    Last week I found a Ram Power Wagon (the 6.4L hemi was awesome to drive). Wife immediately hated it because of the height and insurance was kinda expensive.

    Came back to looking at a Tacoma, but kids hated the back seats that don't recline and I couldn't get comfortable in the drivers seat. Decided to revisit 4runners and look stock wasn't bad, so there weren't crazy markups, especially on the TRD Off Roads. Hate the 20" wheels on the Limited and don't really think the extra cost is worth it.

    TRD OR Premium with Premium Plus package, KDSS and moonroof was the PERFECT sweet spot for me. Went with white, although I wouldn't have minded Lunar Rock, but those are rare. 3 hour drive home last night and had a smile the whole way.

    No mods yet, but I'm stalking the FS section for TRD take offs. Hoping for some rock rails.

    Glad to be part of the family! A million years ago I was big on the BMW forum and made some polo shirts (I have a print shop), might make us some hats or something.

    Greetings from Central Cali!

    If you make hats, I might buy one. Especially if you can do a fishing hat. :D

    Welcome! Congrats on the new ride. I'm a big fan of the AT4 and Power Wagon as well, but yikes are those things expensive. 4R was definitely a good choice.

    When I bought my 2023 SR5 last September, they had a 2024 Sequoia there, it was $85,000. I haven’t seen anything like it in my life.
