My Journey For A 2nd Platinum

[Nodak]

update 2026-09-21

4runner arrived via transport on friday night. will be picking it up this afternoon. did pre paperwork friday (finance, actual numbers)

dealer gave us 45k trade in on our 23 tundra (paid $62,758 invoice / msrp was $67,343) and trade in of 2018 tundra was $40,500) so our out the door finance was $28,282. we owed $9200 when we got the $45k trade in amount

so roughly $35,800 trade in credit on a 26 4Runner platinum that invoiced at $64,222 (msrp was $69,073)

if its any consolation, my invoice price is only about $1000 more than most limited's at msrp and ours is loaded up pretty good.

we added the front/rear red tow hooks and the DPH was $100 more than my 25 4R (shipping) and the price increase/bump was roughly $500 for the 26 4R vs my 25 4R

so her's was $64,222 vs my $63,114

front hooks cost $152 invoice / $180 msrp
rear hook cost $115 invoice / $135 msrp
shipping went from $1495 (2025 MY) to $1595 (2026 MY)
and base price of a 2025 vs a 2026 was $500 (i think, cant remember)

i'll post a screenshot of my actual deal paperwork when i can (redacted personal info)
