Home Forums Gear Hunting Trucks and Four-Wheel Drives Price Paid for New 4Runner Purchased Recently?

Hi guys,

I know there's another 4Runner thread going now and I've read through it, but this one is a little more targeted, looking for specific purchase info, so bear with me. Thinking about buying a new 4Runner this year, as apparently they're a better buy than used given the current inflated used car market. So, for those of you who have bought a new one in the last year (say, beginning of 2021), would you mind posting:

--which model year?
--which trim level is it?
--what price did you pay (vehicle only, excluding taxes, license/plates, delivery, extended warranty)
--what was sticker price?
--in what town/city did you buy it?
--any other info/tips you might think would be helpful

Knowing this info could help me a lot, even the location, as I'd consider traveling to another part of the country for the right deal.

Thanks in advance!

Following this... we are also getting ready to get one...

I bought my wife a brand new sr5 premium TRD off road last thanksgiving (Black Friday 2020) it was 46k before taxes and fees.

Since then we put a 3” lift, wheels, tires on it and even with 25k miles could sell it for what we paid new.

54k for a tricked out 2022 today. Could have saved a few thousand if we shopped around, but there are none to be had and she needed a truck.

Thanks. Wow, I may end up holding off until next year, hoping the used market comes back down some.

Just traded my '18 SR5 4wd 64k miles for a new '22 of basically the same model. .....

Even though I lowered my current monthly payment 25% with almost no money down, I'd rather not relive the buying experience in this thread.

No models of interest at any dealership, put down a $500 deposit for an allotted vehicle.

Suffice it to say unless you are on top of your game which I wasn't, its tuff duty. Its MSRP when the car ain't sitting in the lot....got the kbb top trade figure for very good condition which was good.....that's pretty much where the good ended.

Around here - just about anything new or used is going well over KBB or MSRP. Local dealership is pricing TRD Pro 4 Runners in the 70s and GETTING IT. Total insanity.

I took delivery of a 2021 TRD Offroad Premium in August paid $47,501 which included a $2k "market adjustment" and some dealer add ons. Sounded atrocious until they showed me what they would pay for the 2018 w/ 50k miles I traded in on it, a no brainer. The market is tougher now and the pickins slimmer. This is my 5th 4Runner and I have never spent a nickel outside of scheduled maintenance and tires.

I took home a 2021 TRD off-road premium in October. $43,700 out the door. A few dealers really wanted the 2022 Avalon TRD I had and negotiations began. They gave me $5k more than what I paid for it 🤷🏼‍♂️

Don't want to come across wrong, but why didn't you privately sell your car?

Right now dealers are telling you blue book means nothing when buying a used outfit off them. But the hypocrites are flashing blue book when it comes time to price a trade in.

Bought a 2021 TRD Offroad Premium for right at $46k as I recall in Sept 2021. Not much wiggle room on Toyota prices. Wife's truck but will pass to me when she moves on to something else.

This was in Brandon, MS at Gray Daniels Toyota.

We liked the ride of the TRD better than the Limited.

The dealer was giving me what I paid for the SUV new in 18....$35.5k

I dont think I'm the type that could squeeze any more than that from private party....I'm not a savy sales guy....plus, I was still making payments on the 18......I'm just not up to dealing with the shlub responses in private sales on something I still owe money on.......didnt talk to carvana or carmax...maybe I should have.

Very few, if any in my preferred colors, new 4wd 4runners on the lots around here made timing somewhat a factor.

Buying a new 4runner has changed and I doubt I'm ready for it.

2021 Nightshade, around $52k. Paid MSRP and had to do the $500 down to hold it for when they delivered. Got almost what I paid for, on my 2019 Durango on trade. Corwin in Bellevue NE. Was really pissing off the paper works guy as he was trying to sell me all the extra warrantees. Only took the electronics and the tire/wheel ones as my brother who works on cars says so much is controlled by the stereo/HVAC control, it is worth it and the tires/wheels as Omaha is becoming known for it tire killing pot holes. He kept trying to push a whole vehicle warrantee, but I kept countering with "I'll be over 59 1/2 yrs old by the time the factory expires and can pull from my retirement account to cover it".

My SIL has a 2020 and its a great ride.
But man they aint cheap.
Dunno what MPG is

Love the ride and interior space. Proly best hunting rig buy, even at higher price.

Just more than I want to spend.

Dealers and finance dept guys push lease lease lease.
Offer value holding contracts etc.

Got a non Toyota vehicle Monday.
Told em im buying, pay off in 2 yrs.

Finance guy said I was wasting money because in 2 yrs id have a used car. Should lease.

Told him i aint renting, dont want a lifetime of car payments. He stood their like a deer in headlights.

Sales guy was a good dude. First new vehicle.ive ever bought and he was informative, honest, got me a decent rebate.

Wait til fall and see what 2022 models look like and what used stuff gets traded in.

Might buy a used one for kid.
Sales guy was old school solid dude.

Finance guy can eat a deke.

My wife and I both own off road premiums, the limited are too fluffy! The limited is definitely for someone that doesn’t want to get dirty.

Anyone tow with theirs? I am thinking of buying a slightly used one. How would it do with a 12’ box trailer with gear and a four wheeler inside say 3500lbs up Loveland pass?

While I have never towed with any of my 5th generation 4runners, I see many that do......I would imagine that gas gauge will really start moving at that point......aerodynamics are important.

Empty Yakima roof cross bars will knock my mpg down by 2.

Not well...
