truecar.com is a good resource for pricing, although they are out of whack on their TRD Pro pricing. (Try finding a dealer that even has one, let alone one that is willing to sell one at MSRP or below!) Prices will also vary by region, but I know that around me (SoCal) a 2015 Limited, Trail, or...

That looks great! So how did you do it?

Looks like a great build and a great gathering! As the new owner of a new TRD Pro, I'm wanting to paint the grey Toyota letters on the front and the chrome 4Runner and Toyota badge on the rear red. Any idea how the owner of the TRD Pro at the far right of the 4th pic did this? I would be much...

Nearly all the dealers in SoCal that I spoke to that are getting one in are not taking deposits and have clearly stated, "there will be a market adjustment that will vary depending upon interested parties". Can you say "bidding war"? How badly do you want one? I was willing to pay a little...

Not to burst your bubble, but I highly doubt any TRD Pros will be available come spring 2015, let alone summer. They are scarce and prices are not dropping. If you can wait until summer of 2015 you might be able to snag a 2016 in fall if they make it in larger quantities.

The factory front plate mount on the 4Runner doesn't look too bad as front plate mounts go. Still, I don't have front plates on any of my vehicles even though my state requires it. I got a fix-it ticket once, but I chose to pay the fine rather than mar the aesthetics of my front bumper.

I know it's frustrating, but try not to get discouraged. I was frustrated myself trying to even locate one, let alone get a fair price, but you can't escape the law of supply and demand. If you really don't want to go through this for a TRD Pro, just get a TEP, which is pretty close to a TRD...

I tried that first, but no dealers in SoCal had any TRD Pros on the lot nor would they honor the TrueCar price for the few that were trickling in. I literally called about 30 dealers in California near the end of October and about a third of them said they were not getting any TRD Pros in...

I just got my TRD Pro yesterday, so I'll attempt to answer your questions: The salesman was probably pushing you to a TEP because that's what he has/can get, while the TRD Pro is nearly impossible to find (at least where I live). The TEP and TRD Pro have black interiors with red stitching and...
