    New member here. Name is James. I’m from Co Springs. Just traded off my first Toyota I have bought, a 2019 Tacoma DC OR premium/tech with a manual in cement color.

    I got rid of the last Nissan we had last August, a 2015 Murano with 52k on it. The transmission was on its last leg, bucking when the torque converter would lock and unlock. Long story, I picked up the first 4RUNNER a 2020 TRD Premium.

    So a few weeks ago I started having a small issue, I was having a squeak from what I assume is a soft belt tensioner. So I was driving my wife’s 4RUNNER to work because I was just under 36k. I finally just made the decision to buy a new one.

    two days ago I bought the white 2021 4RUNNER TRD premium with KDSS. I didn’t know at the time it had KDSS, since I didn’t need to test drive it. I wanted to sign and drive. It still took 6 hours at the stealership. I did notice it seemed to handle different than the wife’s, and I figured it was just the weight of no stuff inside the new 4R.

    Anyway I love the old one, I love my new one. It’s going to make my life easier driving 126 miles a day to work and home, with the new headlights.

    I have a whole list of things why I like the 4Runner better if anyone is interested. Happy New Years everyone!

    Welcome, James. 6 hours.. that alone is enough to make the whole experience horrible... however, you got one hell of Colorado trail destroying vehicle.

    I showed up when the opened to try and skip the whole day process, and the test drive. oh well I like it, they sell pretty fast up here.

    I used to live in Phoenix in 2000, just right next to North Mountain.

    Congrats and welcome man! Both looking nice...

    Man, dealerships can be brutal sometimes, but 6 hours would have definitely made me walk! Two hours is about my absolute limit from start to finish... Sounds like it was well worth it though! Congrats!

    Cheers,

    Sean

    Thanks everyone, Happy New Year! Trust me I would have liked to go to the dealership 65 miles away, but they had the white one I wanted. I’m glad I got it since it had KDSS.
