Being a newbie, I guess I could have thought about getting snow out of the roof rack. The crazy storm last week left our area, first with dry snow and then with a cover of sleet that turned into what they are now calling, "snowcrete," as the temps stayed in the teens and twenties over the past...

I have a routine drive that I take weekly on a straight paved road with stoplights and speeds from 35-55 mph. I use this to make sure I get some time in 4Hi for lubrication purposes. At a stoplight, I put the 4Runner in park, change from 2Hi to 4Hi and put it back in drive. 4Hi blinks in...

My TRD Pro has four tie-down points in the cargo bay. I already have the cargo net and the cargo cover, but I'm thinking it might be wise to have some tie-down straps to help secure my cargo. Any recommendations?

I'm planning a trip from the East Coast to the Southwest for Feb-Mar. I'll probably be on the road about 6-8 weeks. Originally, I was planning to sleep in the back of the 4Runner, but I've concluded that will be virtually impossible with the amount of gear that I will have for camping...

I took my Pro out on Sunday for my first Level 3 trail run. It was a beautiful day and all the windows down and the sunroof open. I just cleaned up the interior today and there was so much dust inside and on everything that I'm not sure I will ever open any windows again! Cleaning the mud...

I feel like I need to add a small electric chainsaw to my kit to clear trails or make firewood at camp. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good quality saw that won’t take up too much space?

I’m still under 5,000 miles on my TRD Pro and haven’t done that many highway miles for longer trips. I drove about 300 miles yesterday, mostly without cruise control and felt that I might’ve gotten 1-2 better MPG whe the cruises wasn’t in use. Does this make sense to anyone? I’m driving the...

So there are two recovery points in the front and one on the rear right. I noticed two holes, one on each side of the trailer hitch mount. Can these also function as recovery points or are they just for trailer safety chains?

I took my first off-road run yesterday. Seriously, at about 2,500 miles this was the first time I drove in anything but 2H!!! I drove up to the Rapidan Wildlife Management Area here in Virginia. Tried out 4H and 4L; everything worked great once I reminded myself to go through neutral before...

Has anyone installed one of these on a TRD Pro? It looks pretty simple, but I’m wondering if it will trigger tow-package messages because it connects through that wiring harness. https://www.diodedynamics.com/hitchmount-led-pod-reverse-kit-for-2025-toyota-4runner.html

Totally positive! The Pro comes stock with most of what buyers of other trims are building after market -ultimately at about the same cost and often without nice to have things like heated and cooled seats, etc. If you are into crawling around with wrenches, I understand, but that’s just not...

I'm looking at options for re-inflating tires. Originally, I was thinking that the portable twin brushless unit from ARB would be the best way to go, but it's also the most costly and would take up storage space inside the truck. I'm now thinking that going on-board under the hood with a...

Okay, so break-in mileage is over. I'm totally delighted with my entire experience thus far. I worked on getting this 25 Pro in Mudbath for over a year. It may have helped that the GM at my dealership has been a friend for decades and I've bought several cars from him (mostly Mercedes.) When...

Mudbath Pro, just back from PPF shop. Here's the rundown: 10 mil XPEL PPF Full front and fender flares 7-year ceramic coating Port-installed ARB ¾ roof rack Port installed OEM rock rails Cargo mat Cargo cover Toyota red front recovery points Rigid ditch lights on Wescott Designs low-profile...

Can any of you who are tracking allocations and deliveries tell me how many Mudbath Pros have actually made it to the U.S.? My dealer thinks there are less than 200 so far…

My dealer took delivery of a TRD Off Road last week, supposedly the first 2025 4R in this region. I'm waiting for the Pro and have been at the top of my dealership's list since last summer. He called this morning and said they got their first Pro allocation this week. Unfortunately, not in...

Okay, admittedly I'm a newbie to off-road. Planning to buy a 2025 TRD Pro. Seems that mudguards might be good for the street, but only something to get broken off-road. Am I right about this?
