    2018 4runner sr5 premium
    Hello, i am new here, just picked up a 2018 4runner sr5 premium, my use for it is drive as a usps rural package delivery(deep snow) rough trails in northern Mìchigan, i also hope to bird hunt out of it with pointing dogs.
    I hope to research what the 4runners weak spots are and also learn to maintanance it well to make it last....i would consider usps delivery in the area i work to be "rough service" so that is why i wish to know the weak spots on the truck and preventitve maintanance? Not needing to be spoon feed tips, but perhaps pointed to where i can read the best tips? Hopeful this is a freindly helpful forum, loving the RidgeRunner (nick-name) much more than my jeep so far!
    Mine only had 39k miles on it!

    Weakest spot is the frame, make sure to under coat it with fluid film or woolwax. Some shops do it or you can do it yourself, other than that theres not much weakness with the tank
