Truck is sold and I'm already shopping for another one. Live and learn. :dammit:

Truck sits at 55k-ish miles. Had a professional detail done in Boulder recently that has it looking 95% like new. A paint correction would bring that to more like 98%. All the materials on these things are just so dang good that everything comes back to new with a bit of TLC. $38k firm would...

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.

Hey Marshall, about 43k now. Took a few photos for an interested buyer yesterday. untitled-0296 by John Montesi, on Flickr untitled-0302 by John Montesi, on Flickr untitled-0300 by John Montesi, on Flickr untitled-0298 by John Montesi, on Flickr untitled-0305 by John Montesi, on Flickr...

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.

Hey Nate, thank you for the kind words and taking the time to read and reply. :cheers: 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. :thanks:

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...

A few random shots from a recent trip from Arkansas to Kansas, Colorado, and Utah. L1150216-2 by John Montesi, on Flickr L1150400-2 by John Montesi, on Flickr L1150257 by John Montesi, on Flickr L1150175-2 by John Montesi, on Flickr L1150153-2 by John Montesi, on Flickr

I have averaged about 18.3 lifetime (hand calculating most tanks) in my bone stock TRD Pro with ~20k miles on it. I try to put premium in it whenever possible, midgrade otherwise. Occasionally in expensive states I'll throw pisswater in if I'm just burning highway miles, but I invariably...

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. :thumb:

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...

Congrats on the new trucks, the awesome marriage and family traditions, and being dog people, too. Y'all will fit in just fine around here, though you clearly already know that. Cheers!

Well said. There are still some thinkers amongst us here! :withstupid: :cheers: That attitude chased me out of Austin, out of my "cool" cars I had before the 4Runner (which, even though it's supposedly such a POS is my favorite car I've ever owned), out of any place I start to notice it. I'm...

The big question is what Toyota will do for the earlier Pro owners.. say you go in for Bilstein problems while under warranty--are they going to maintain a supply chain with Bilstein or switch to Fox? Offer VIN-based 'upgrades' to the new system? I bought a 2018 Pro a couple of months ago, and...
