Waiting on the money for the down payment to get moved around, so I can go back and pay the down payment, but hopefully by Friday afternoon I will be in a 2025 TRD Off-Road Premium. This one to be exact:
2025 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-Road Premium T62443 in Easton, PA | Easton Toyota 4Runner at Koch 33 Toyota
I had been hoping my 2011 TE 4 runner would see me to 500k miles, but out here on the east coast thats not going to happen, mainly due to rust. I spent 2k back in May getting portions of the frame cut-out and new metal welded in to take care of some frame rust damage ( see video) :https://s3.amazonaws.com/mykaarma-s...A62/B35DE6B3-C70A-4C2F-B626-F4AC2374FA62.m3u8
I also had brake lines and pads installed, bringing everything to 3k, and id need new tires before the year is out, another 1k.
I'd have been fine with all that but last week the fuel pump went and left me stranded on the side of the road. 2 hours waiting for a tow, another 2 hours waiting on a rental and at that point I lost all confidence in the vehicle. I'd have been fine had that not happened and no other major repairs would have hit me in 2025, but getting stranded like that was an eyeopening nightmare, and I ended up getting to a point where I wondered if im going to get stranded every time I started that car.
I did look at the non premium version of this vehicle, and would have been fine with that I think except for one thing. The non-powered lift gate. Once I saw what that was like on the premium version I sold.
I am hoping to take delivery of the vehicle by Friday, if not tomorrow.
Anything I should know or plan to get ?
What undercarriage rust proofing is good these days ?
Also, where can I get the aluminum foot pedals that are on the non-premium version of this ?
