FS: 2018 4Runner TRD Pro Cavalry Blue 50k miles $38k Boulder, CO

2018 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro
Cavalry Blue
55,5xx miles
$38,500

Howdy,

I bought this truck thinking I'd keep it for 5-10 years, but I didn't anticipate how much I'd be driving these next few years. Would rather split that up among some older/higher mileage rigs instead. Just had it in for 40k service and they noted brakes still have 85% life.. like I said, lots of highway driving. Cruise at 75, just sitting there between Northwest Arkansas and DFW, TX.

If you're looking at this thread, you know what a 2018 TRD Pro is all about. I have not taken any specific photos for a sale listing as it's still very tentative and really contingent on finding someone with a similar attitude to me. I'd like to get on the phone with somebody, talk it through, and execute a quick and mutually respectful deal. I usually get tacos with whoever buys my trucks, swap life stories, and stay in touch. No BS, no games.

It's a 2018 4Runner TRD Pro, cavalry blue. Every option except the goofy accessory chargers and sliding cargo tray. Factory paint protection film, step boards, etc. It has 55,xxx highway miles. Has seen forest service roads in Arkansas a few times and double track in Arizona and Colorado. It's been used like a 4Runner but never abused. I'm a recovering classic sports car guy, which means I always put premium in the tank, wait for the engine to warm all the way up, and generally am very mechanically sympathetic to my cars.


The truck is in the shape you would expect for a 1.5 year old highway driven 4Runner. Mild signs of highway use and one paint nick near where the tow hitch meets the rear bumper. Some light scratches in the paint, a pro detail will bring it back to new.

Send me a PM and let's hop on the phone. I just moved out to Boulder, CO so I'm pretty centrally located for prime 4Runner country.

Free Bump for a killer deal on Calvary Blue Pro.

Some really well written and inspiring stories. I will be tuning in for more!

Good luck! (If it was Cement I'd come to TX to get it )

Thank you for the kind words all the way around!

I forgot to mention that the truck has WeatherTech mats in both rows and the trunk and those will be included with the sale along with the OEM TRD Pro mats.

Can't believe you are selling it so soon! Rather build up something a little older?

Back up for sale. No rush, just looking for the right deal; someone who wants a TRD Pro without the long wait or dealer markup and wants to buy from a hardcore Toyota truck fan who would rather use the cash to further my career as a writer/photographer and hop into a truck I feel better about piling the miles on.

This is the most perfect vehicle I've ever owned, so I am happy keeping it around until the right person comes along. $39,500 is quite low for a one-owner, clean 2018 TRD Pro.

Exceptional writings on your site John. I especially enjoyed the quote from Mark 8:36 & Matthew 16:26:

"WHAT WILL IT PROFIT A MAN IF HE GAINS THE WHOLE WORLD BUT LOSES HIS SOUL?"

I'm in Hawaii so what's the chance for you to deliver your PRO here ;)

Hey Nate, thank you for the kind words and taking the time to read and reply. I would gladly deliver it you in Hawaii, but that probably means I'd have to drive to Cali, put her on a boat, and then fly out to meet you for some surfing and tacos, Hawaiian style.

Bump to the top! Had some good conversations with interested buyers, including someone who has an 03 (dang it) GX. Also may consider 1st and 2nd gen Tacomas.

The 4Runner and I are now living in Boulder, CO for the foreseeable future if anyone is interested. Just put new BFG K02s on it this weekend.
