I found that a lot of dealers have add ons that don't show up until you get to final paperwork when they try and hit you for things like GPS tracking/Protection packages/blinking 3rd brake light that have all been pre-installed but not called out on the window sticker so it gets added in later...

GST=Gulf States Toyota (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas) and SET=South East Toyota (177 independent Toyota dealerships in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.), they are their own separate independent Toyota "distributers" outside of Toyota USA...
Agree, any dealer in SET/GST region showing a discount its probably false and there will be more than that amount of DIO's added on top of it that you wont be able to get removed.
There are ones sitting at dealers right now, in fact this is is right by me...
I'd definitely look outside the SET/GST regions for one if I was you. Using the handy spreadsheet from this site with all the inventory, find one with the exact options you want and go for it. These are way to expensive to just settle on what's available with a much off dealer added profit BS...
Find some other products and get them while on sale. Hard to beat! I picked up the emblem, the gloss black rear overlay, the side compartment multi tool and the OEM TRD Pro Mudflaps (for when i put bigger tires)
Guessing its since your in CA and so is that dealer. Wonder if you tried at a different dealer out of state of CA like https://autoparts.klamathfallstoyota.com/ if you will get it lower w/o tax.
Agreed, I ordered one yesterday using the Toyota Parts 25% off sale and from a dealer that and another 20+% discount and free shipping/no tax. You can still get the discount for next 16hrs. I went through santamargaritatoyota.com. I ordered a bunch of little oem accessories that i didnt want...
Very nice!! Are they brighter than the stock ones? I hate the weak the stock ones on the Platinum are and would love to change them out for some switchbacks. I have the power running board switch in that switch location so would need to have to some how running to one of the open switch...
The interior color was the #1 issue I had leading up to buying mine (Black)...I had never seen a Platinum in person, saw tons of pictures but I was afraid i was going to hate it in person. All my cars have always been black on black and i would have a loved a black interior with the orange...
Pricing is out, I just built a 2026 version of my platinum and it was a little over $300 more for same truck.
Here is the full 2026 Press Release:
2026 4Runner Pricing / Updates / Changes / Colors - Official Announcement
3 weeks and 1800mi into ownership on mine, seeing around 21-21.5 consistently on each tank but some "trips" showing higher averages of 23+. Mostly in Eco mode, air dam has been removed.
Didn't take any pictures but if you watch this video for the Meso Customs light install its the same thing. In this video, they make it look really easy, and it wont be that easy... It just pops out but it takes a lot of force that first time you do it, and you have to be careful that when your...
