Hello fellow 4Runners.
I am brand new to the 4Runner and to this forum.

About 3 weeks ago my 2015 Nissan Xterra pro-4x (manual transmission) got completely totaled when it was smashed while empty and parked. Let me tell you that I was extremely surprised when I returned to my car.

Long story short, I had to quickly buy a new car, and they don't make Xterras anymore, so here I am.

I picked up a 2021 TRD off-road premium.

Any tips, tricks, or suggestions for me to be on the lookout for as I age with my new 4Runner?

Any strategies for keeping her running pristine, clean, and new for years to come?

Appreciated, Thanks!

Is this always recommended or only in humid environments? I live in SoCal where most of the year is very dry.

Congrats! Just wash it occasionally, especially if there's any salt on it!

Bummer your xterra was totaled. I'm in Brooklyn too, looking to pick up my first 4runner.

Congrats, I’m shopping for the same vehicle.

Krown is a good undercoating option if there are any Krown shops near you. They’re a Canadian company, but they have a few shops in the US.

I have used them on a Jeep Wrangler and their product has done a great job.
