    Welcome to a great forum and congrats on the new 4R. Did your insurance assist with the drowned one?

    Feel free to ask
    I read the title and thought ‘hmm maybe be a figure of speech?’ Clicked and nope, literally sunk in a pond.

    Glad to hear it worked out for you in the end.

    My son is driving a 2006 Trailblazer (was mine for a while) that we bought used. Previous owner sank it just like you did your TRD. Had lots of post-submersion work done; only lasting effect is the alarm goes off whenever you unlock the doors.
    On the other hand, my 19 4Runner is getting it's second replacement tailgate in 4 months....time to reorg our parking situation at the homestead.
