    Hi everyone! I’m Jennifer!
    I purchased this 2025 4Runner TRD Off-Road today. I really love the way it looks on the exterior (aside from the black fender flares). The inside is…a little more utilitarian…than I’m used to. I previously owned a Mercedes GLE350 but I love camping and felt like a hack pulling up to campsites in a Benz. I really like the 4Runner so far, and am looking forward to hearing others owners’ opinions!

    Yes, unfortunately. I’m in the Seattle area and every time a dealer gets one, it sells immediately, so there was very little room for negotiation. My previous lease was ending soon, not to mention the possible upcoming impacts of tariffs, so I just went for it anyway.

    Welcome Jennifer! Congrats on the new truck! I think the utilitarian styling will grow on you. And white is an excellent color, I wish I had it instead of silver. The black fender flares are oddly one of the things I love about the new 6th Gens. I think it looks really sharp, particularly on a white vehicle.

    Once a bit more of the snow melts you should head over to the Leavenworth area and check out all the outstanding forest service roads over here.

    Congratulations on your new rig & welcome to the forum! I agree with @R1200Jedi, the black fender flares look good on a white 4Runner, gives it that “Storm Trooper” look. Looking forward to reviews from 6th gen owners, both pros and cons.

    Are you planning to sleep in your 4runner?
    A cot works well for my solo camping and the cot layers of mattresses have insulated well to 7degreesF.
    I made an awning & rear window screens. My runner is my daily driver so I planned all the camp gear to fit into a small space in garage. Plus it sets up in runner fast for easy getawaysIMG_6101.jpg IMG_3354.jpg IMG_6052.jpg IMG_8274.jpg
