Hello all from the plains of West Texas

I just picked up my first 4-runner this week -- 2025 Off-Road Premium -- after having driven pickups for the last 35 years.

I'm hoping to be able to use this forum to find any tips, tricks, hints, suggestions, etc. for my new 4runner to get the most out of it. I'm still learning all about it but any help you guys could provide would be much appreciated.
