first job out of college,  I bought a 97 4Runner limited. 4wd, black. damn I wish I would have kept that vehicle. 

Think I paid $35k, couple of miles on the odometer 

I left a VW Camper Van on the side of a hill in North Carolina with a blown #3 cylinder because I had a new job 2 states away, was broke, and was in a foolish hurry.

Life is bad car decisions, regrets, and solo drinking to Pogues albums. But the sun always rises, and you may find yourself behind the wheel of a fine automobile, once again.

Looking at a 2023 certified Toyota 4 Runner SR5 premium 4WD. It’s white with the blackout package and 74k miles. How are we liking this model?

You're asking the wrong person here.  I love the Stormtrooper look.  I have a 4Runner SR5 Premium ('16), and 2 of my brothers have the 4Runner SR5 Premium 4WD ('16 & '18).  I am a biased "buy that shit" vote all day every day, and twice on Sunday.

My wife has had a 2018 4Runner Limited for a few years now and we both really like it.  Last week, I bought a 2024 TRD Off-road Premium with the blacked out emblems and wheels.  It's cool as hell.   I'm in the process of buying new floor mats, cargo mats, and figuring stuff out.

There are some suspension differences between the OFP and the SR5 Premium, but I think everything else is the same.

Side note:  we have bought 2 out of our last three cars in San Antonio as opposed to Austin.  My new 4Runner had 9k more miles than a similar one in Austin, but was $5k less.

Since buying the 4Runner last week, I've purchased a few things.

Lasfit mats for the front and second rows.  Really good fit and coverage.   More rubber than the rigid, plastic like WeatherTech liners we have in the wife's 4Runner.

Odero cargo mat.   Covers 100% of the back, including the small areas behind the wheel wells.  The WeatherTech we have in the other 4Runner is fine, but I think I'll like the total coverage of the Odero.

Also added the panels for the back of the second row.  Should provide protection when those seats are laid down.  Since I didn't get the same mats for the front and rear, I had to find some that were sold separately.  Found these at 4Runner Lifestyle.

Finally got some smartphone door inserts, which allows for keeping the phone, wallet, flashlight, etc. In the door below the handle.  Without these the space is not ask that useful as the lip isn't yak enough to keep things from falling out.

The inserts are fairly solid and affix with double-sided tape.  Also from 4Runner Lifestyle.

I bought an Offroam phone mount that is engineered specifically for 4Runner.  Solid construction and firmly holds the phone.   Not sure if I'm going to keep it though.   With android auto, I don't really need the phone in front of me.

Thought I'd post on case anyone is looking at getting some new accessories.

I have an Offroam in my FJ. It’s great. I adapted their 20mm ball to the 1” RAM mount ball and use a MagSafe charger in the RAM MagSafe holder. It’s generally fine, though it has fallen off sometimes off you got a really large bump. The utility of having magnetic charging is worth it, though. It looks like they use the Peak Design MagSafe mount with it on their site. Maybe I will upgrade to that since it should have much stronger magnets in it.
