    NEW RIG

    I just traded in my 2011 Chevy Colorado for a 2010 4Runner. I hope I made the right choice! If anyone has any insight for me I would really appreciate it. The 4Runner has 89,00 miles and is really pretty nice. Also does anyone have an opinion on must have gear for it? Thanks in advance.
