What are people actually paying for their 4Runners right now?

[josiahg52]

That is interesting. I'm in Dripping and I had called Boerne because they had a Trailhunter for $3700 under MSRP. Their manager said to get the "internet price" I would have to pay full price for their tint, ceramic coating, and GPS. I declined and landed one at Keeting Toyota in Houston for $4600 under after I finally got them to take the GPS off. I wouldn't recommend them, but I was able to get a decent price.

What was the nature of the GPS charge? What function or feature were they charging for?

$1600 line item for Apex GPS Protection. They give you a year of being able to track the location of your vehicle with a mobile app. What they don't tell you unless you read the ToS is they also sell your driving data to insurance companies and their partners. Also, once the year is up if you don't renew, they still get access to your continued data and you don't get to see it.

Yup, as soon as I got mine home. I took it out of my vehicle. It is a pain. They tie it into your ignition wire harness and the factory wire harness behind the glove box.

I always take these out as they can cause a lot of electrical issues. Key fob issues, battery drain, our car would shut off in drive through lines. They can be electrical nightmares. The worst part is that they just cut directly into your factory harness.

Heck Yeah man. We both got a good deal. How do you like it?

we bought ours June 19

I got mine on 6/16. Growing to like it more each day. Coming from gen 3 tundra, I was missing the interior space and the height of the tundra. But 4Runner interior is nicer than sr5 tundra. I’m looking at leveling option and wheels/tires

2026 SR5, got it for invoice without any real issues or push. Only dealer add was tint, and it was reasonable for ceramic tint (assuming they actually installed ceramic tint lol).

I did a lease. Toyota had a decent lease if you do the one pay option which lowers the MF a ton and gets me a tax credit (TX where you have to pay full amount up front) so dropped the tax rate to 1% from 6.25. Ended up being below 1%/month all in. Standard/non one pay lease on the car was horrendous.

Love the car, first Toyota. My industry buys a lot of manufacturing equipment from Japan, so I visit Japan for factory visits a lot. Once you have walked a typical Japanese factory it's hard to buy from anywhere else.

I got mine on June 24th. Limited 4wd and they only added on roof rails and a cargo cover. I got it for $58,100 plus the taxes and typical shipping costs. Traded in my 2021 SR5 Premium with 141,000 miles on it and I got $23,000 for it on the trade. I talked to the GM in May about ordering it and he got it held for me and I'm very happy with the purchase.

Now that we're deeper into the near end of 2026, are there good discounts off MSRP/invoice on the 2026 4Rs? I'm looking for an SR5 4WD. Thanks!

Wait until Nov/Dec should not have trouble finding one at a good discount.

Wow...$70,000!! Was not long ago you could buy a nice Porsche for that!

Yes, "not long ago" around that time you could get a 4Runner for $30k!

Well...not really. 2011 was 15 years ago maybe.

Your observation is nonsensical. You're comparing the entire Porsche catalog to a single model. But, in 2011, a base 4Runner was about $30K, a Boxster was about $50K, and a base 911 Carrera was almost $80K. I'm still not sure what the Porsche comparison is supposed to demonstrate. If you go to back the early 2000s, your observation, while non-sequitur, actually pans out when speaking of contemporary MSRPs, that is, not adjusted for 2026, but still depends on the specific model of Porsche and trim.

Received from AI: Interestingly, the 2026 Trailhunter specifically is only about $5k more than the 2011 Limited, adjusting for the value of the USD.

Personal anecdote: In 2001, I had just purchased a 1996 Tahoe LT for about $18k. Later that year, near Saratoga Springs, NY, I saw a 1999 Carerra 4 for $45k. In 2001 that was a ~$70k MSRP vehicle. $45k today is about $85k today. A 2024 Carrera 4 had an MSRP of near $115k and is probably found for ~$140 today.
