That's pretty harsh for someone with the handle of TRD Jon. Are you going to sell the truck or just keep hawking aftermarket parts?

I'm torn between Mudbath and Underground. Both look darker on the Toyota build your own app. I like both in submitted photos where they look lighter. Any recommendations? What's your choice?

Are mud guards beneficial for off-roading or just something that might get broken off?

Okay, let's try this again. I'm going to be a first time off road buyer with the new 4Runner TRD Pro (however long that takes!). I went through the build your model on the Toyota site and saw options for both rock rails and running boards. Looking at TRD Jon's new ORP, he has the running...

My understanding is that they are prewired switches for accessories.

Gorgeous! But, I'm not a red car guy.

Cool! Maybe one day I'll get mine, just hope it won't take too many more months for the PRO.

Holy Moly! Doesn't Toyo realize that they are selling a vehicle that's arguably six months late? They ought to be doing markdowns to move this stale model year inventory out before the 2026s come in!

Maybe I'm just old school. but I've always thought that buying a vehicle meant actually driving it off the lot and taking it home. I guess I should rephrase my question. Has anyone actually taken delivery of a 2025 4Runner yet?

What I meant to ask as does it make sense to have both rock rails and running boards or do they conflict with one another? If that's the case, I'll choose the rock rails. My concern is just how high will I have to step to get in to the vehicle. I suppose there is probably an after market...

Are rock rails and running boards complementary, redundant or mutually exclusive?

I’m waiting for the TRD Pro. Let me know if anyone hears anything or better yet, sees one!

Despite a few reported sightings of demonstration models and dealers possibly beginning to get very limited allocations., has anyone actually been able to buy a 2025 4Runner yet? I spoke with a good friend today who is the GM at a local Toyo dealership. He said they've been allocated just a...

If I understand it correctly, the hybrid engine has been in use by Toyota in the Tacoma and other vehicles for quite some time. That being the case, I think it's a bit of a stretch to call it unproven just because it hasn't been deployed in older 4Runners.
