I wished. Can't seem to find anything in Nor Cal less than invoice on 4runner.

It's hard to figure that out from the dealer as both TE and LE were rentals that they got from Toyota.

Seriously??? No trip odometer? That's unbelievable in this day and age.

Mind if I asked why you wanted the TE over the limited and what pushed you to trade in the limited after 3 months?

It really is a love it or hate it relationship with the 5th gen body style, isn't it?

In my mind, I'm off-roading 2-3 times a year. In reality I've gone once in the last two years but I do have a trip planned next month. This will also be my vehicle to get me up the mountain during ski season, but I'm sure all 3 models would be quite capable in the snow.

The more I see the 5th gen, the more it grows on me...except for that damn antenna and non-locking gas door. Come on Toyota, it's not that expensive for a locking gas door and an antenna in the window (actually, there is a spot on the roof of the car for satellite radio...why can't they use...

If you purchased a 5th gen, do you wish you would have purchased a different model 5th gen T4R than your current 5th gen (ie. if you bought a TE, in hindsight, would you have rather purchased a limited, or vice versa)? If so why? I'm still trying to decided between the models and figured some...

What do you all think is a good price on a used 5th gen Ltd or TE with, nav, kdss (for trail), no third row. No info on Edmunds and NADA guide. KBB seems to offer only 2009 options for 2010 vehicle.

I was at the dealer last weekend and was getting ready to sign my life away on a 2010 TE and noticed that on top of $500 over invoice, there was a roughly $700 charge for TDA...Toyota Dealer Advertising. I told them I wouldn't buy it unless they subtracted the TDA. They wouldn't budge, so I...

Honestly, I think I'm going to trade it in...unless someone here wants to buy it :wink2:. I really like the interior of the Trail and I think the Trail is just as capable of a car in the city, but more robust when off pavement and in the snow. I hate the external antenna in the 5th gen, but...

The main thing I would miss is the Torsen center diff. Like other members have said on other posts, Toyota cut costs by not including it in the Trail Edition.

I have an 08 SE with about 50K on it (V6 btw). I like the looks of the new Trail Edition (esp in either the red or blue) and covet one of them. Would you trade your 4th gen for a 5th gen?

As continue to ponder my decision to get a new 5th gen 4R, I am wondering if anyone else has noticed that the tailgate gets dirtier quicker (especially in the rain), than the 4th gen. My old 4th gen SE with the spoiler didn't attract dirt nearly as much as the 5th gen. I could even drive in...

Yeah, I'm not so keen on the dial in the 4th gen either.
