    Hi from central MA.

    Joined the forum today. I found this forum while looking around for options for adding some running boards.

    I'm a long time fan of Toyota for their reliability and durability. Still driving a 2003 Camry with 250K on it.

    Sold my 2006 Jeep LJ to move up to something a bit more practical and reliable.

    Never planned on getting a 4runner, but I wanted a Toyota, I want to continue to explore off-road, I also want to be able to more easily tow my trailer with my TW200 and other gear. And possibly larger trailers in the future. I want a vehicle that has rock solid reliability. My wife wanted something with 3 rows to accommodate all of her friends I feel like the 4 runner was the best vehicle on the planet to fit the bill.

    It is a 4WD 2020 SR5 Magnetic Gray Metallic with the Roof rack and cross bars, 3rd row seating, all weather package, and chrome exhaust tip.

    I'll add some in the future. Nothing too interesting yet as it is a stock Magnetic Gray Metallic rig at this point.

    Thanks. I already do.

    I used the 4R to haul my TW200 out to Western MA and rode most of the "Trans Mass Trail".

    The TW200 and the 4Runner are similar in that that are both tried and true and haven't changed much over time because they don't need to.
