Should I do it?
Brought my 2011 trail into the dealer for routine service and they want buy it from me... I asked if they had any 4runners in stock and they have 1. What do they bring out???
I went from 6 to midnight real fast. The Bro is priced at $43000 and they offered me $28000 for my 2011 in its stock form (I keep the gobi etc ).
I have a thing for sand color. What are your thoughts on the deal? I would obviously negotiate more if I decide to move forward.
PS my wife said "wow that's a beauty" so I think I have the green light.

No KDSS and it's a bro. I would ask them for a TEP. Your going to miss the KDSS.

If you're an owner who tends to keep them stock and you both like the color go for it! Screw the Bro part and the need for KDSS. While KDSS is a fine accessory my basic Trail handles fine without. The factory sway bar system is completely adequate.
If you're thinking about suspension mods look for a different trim level. There is no point in getting a TRD Pro if you're going to rip out the very suspension pieces that make it one.

My dealer has an '11 SR5, CPO, 45,000 mi. listed for $28995.00. Based on that I'd say you're getting a good trade, but you don't say what the TRDP MSRP is, so it's not possible to know how good/bad your overall deal is.

The OP is currently driving a KDSS equipped rig so stepping down to sway bars will be noticeable. I would advise the OP to test drive both. KDSS handles significantly better on-road and has benefits off-road. IMHO color is the wrong reasons to buy a car unless everything else is equal. Good luck BJ

The TRDP MSRP is $43k and change. They basically told me they "can't" go any lower.

If you are going to keep it stock like your current 4runner, I say go for it. It is a very capable vehicle and it will hold its value for the next time you decide to trade it in.

"Can't" is dealer-speak for "won't". Both are fibs.
So, they're offering a TRDP for MSRP and giving you high trade value. Which, as TRDP deals go, seems better-than-average.
You need an extensive test drive, and sleep on it another day.
As said, "color is a poor reason to buy a car".

Yeah I def need to sleep on it for sure. I did test drive it around the neighborhood today but that was useless. I need to go back and do a 80mph test on the highway to feel the difference without KDSS.
I love the color but it defiantly will not be my deciding factor.
