Just for kicks, searched the price for the red tow hooks I ordered yesterday. Cheapest dealer shown was Nucar in MA. Nucar is a couple of bucks more expensive than what I paid.
This site is a good start, but not necessarily showing the lowest cost.
The delivery is not optional, it really is a part of the base cost.
The dealer can change the PIO options if the vehicle hasn't arrived at the port yet, but many won't do it. Just like negotiating for more discounts, their willingness to make that effort is dependent on supply and demand.

I'm able to get in and out of my TH without any issue, but my wife has to put more effort into it... I have BudBuilt step sliders on my 4th gen, and those work really well for standing on as well as getting in and out of the vehicle. They also work really well on the trail for keeping rocks...
If you haven't do so already I suggest downloading Toyota's owner's manual in PDF format. 709 pages of riveting entertainment! Note that they have separate manual for hybrid and non-hybrid.
On page 190 it lists their recommended break-in schedule.
To extend the life of the vehicle...
I'm also doing this just for looks. I've always stuck to functional mods, this is my one guilty pleasure... I've been pulled backwards out from trouble many times, but not yet from the front so who knows if I'll ever get to use these.
The ones already on the truck from the factory are also...
Not sure how this works on the 6th gen, but on my 4th gen these two bolts would be screwed on to a common backing plate. In other words, if you put a bolt in the other hole you might be able to stabilize the broken bolt enough to start getting it out.
If that doesn't work, $30 on...
Removed the 4Runner script from the hatch
Added the fifth cross bar on the roof rack
Added the Redline hood struts
My new favorite feature: the cover above the radiator (bottom of the last picture) is perfect for your hand tools while working in the engine bay!
Looked underneath my 4Runner today, there's about 8" between the rear diff skid and mother earth. Except for the lower shock mounts, the rear diff skid looks like the lowest hanging part under the vehicle.
Same as localhost above. It's quicker for me to change my own oil than taking it to a dealer or a mechanic.
Picked up what I need before I hit 10,000 when I picked up the vehicle.

According to the manual "The operation buzzer that sounds when the back door begins to operate
cannot be turned off." However, you can apparently change how loud it is. Default is Loud.
Every vehicle with push button start that I've owned would sound a warning if the keyfob leaves the vehicle...
