The 2024 Toyota 4runner Trd Off Road Premium is a dream SUV for many, and the excitement of owning one is undeniable. This past Saturday, I joined the club, trading in our trusty 2001 Infiniti QX4 for a brand new, Super White 2024 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium with a moonroof and without KDSS. After years of admiring the 5th generation, the announcement of the 6th generation was the final push. With only 85 miles on the odometer, we’ve been busy showing off our new ride to family and friends.
As a first-time new car owner, I admit to feeling a bit paranoid about keeping it in pristine condition. Since we plan on keeping this 4Runner for the long haul, I’m researching the best ways to protect our investment. Here are my initial priorities:
Protecting the 2024 4Runner: Initial Considerations
Catalytic Converter Shield
Catalytic converter theft is a growing concern, and a shield offers valuable protection. I’m looking into reputable brands and installation options for the 2024 4Runner. Recommendations are welcome!
Paint Protection for the 4Runner
While expensive ceramic coatings aren’t in the budget, I’m interested in cost-effective paint protection solutions. We’re planning road trips and I’m particularly interested in temporary vinyl protectors for the hood and front end to minimize damage from road debris. Any suggestions for quality yet affordable options?
Frame Protection: Necessary in Colorado?
Living in Colorado, I’m unsure if frame protection, such as wool wax or Fluid Film, is necessary. Does the Colorado climate warrant this extra layer of protection for the 4Runner’s frame? Insights from Colorado 4Runner owners would be greatly appreciated.
Seat Protection for Canine Companions
We have Golden Retrievers, so protecting the interior from dog fur and scratches is crucial. We’re considering options like Canvasback seat covers and WeatherTech floor mats. What are the best seat protector solutions for dog owners to keep the 2024 4Runner’s interior looking its best?
Future Upgrades for the TRD Off Road Premium
Window tinting and black overlays are on the wish list for future upgrades, but for now, we’re focused on enjoying the 4Runner in its stock configuration. No major modifications are planned in the near future.
Seeking Advice from Experienced 4Runner Owners
Beyond the topics mentioned above, are there any other recommendations for maintaining a brand new 2024 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium? Any advice for a first-time new car owner transitioning from a decade-old vehicle? All tips are welcome! I look forward to learning from the 4Runner community and sharing my experiences as a new owner.
