Updated thread with Toyota response.

As an update, I have been working through a case with Toyota. Toyota has offered to paint the two metal areas where the scratches and chip are. Have a call soon with the local dealership on how long that will need it to make the repairs (paint passenger door and rear gate.) Has anyone here had...

I should add that I seriously doubt that Toyota will pay for a wrap. WTS, I think they should do something. I know they mentioned two paths, one being they address the paint and one being me possibly returning the vehicle. Depending on how much of a PITA it is.. I may consider giving it back...

I could be wrong but I think the white is the only ‘single stage’ paint used by Toyota. I did not know this until digging in to my issue. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the 4Runner but the paint is thin. A Toyota case manager was supposed to call me back yesterday but I have not heard from them. I...

Experienced the exact same thing in North FL. There was a TRD Pro on a lot in Jax that look BEAT.. but they were just holding tight when I inquired on it back in July. I had one sales guy (BS?) tell me people were putting down BIG deposits n the TRD Pro and coming to get them once they arrived...

Sounds about right. KDSS is worth the wait and $. I bought my TRD ORP w/ KDSS from Beaver in St. Augustine in July. Great salesman (Bob Harvey). I did have to spend A LOT of time researching the Toyota VIN check site to make sure I got what I was looking/paying for. I did see inventory falling...

My new Runner in it’s new home. Ready to get up to Santa Clarita for some fun once things settle down.

2020 ORP here. Only 1,500 miles so not enough to know of any real issues. Sold stock tires right away and put Toyo AT3 on it. Love them. Brakes work great, no squeal. Passenger seat sensor so sensitive the seat belt alarm has gone off with small packages or my camera gear in the passenger...

Exactly. I understand marks.. but going to metal so easily is not ok.

Other than the paint, I LOVE IT. KDSS rocks. I want to wrap it but not shelling out $5K for Toyota’s paint issue.

I just sent them a message this morning. If I don’t hear back I will call them. I KNOW my vehicles will get scratches and dings.. I am just seriously concerned with how easy it is for a light contact/scratch to go all the way to metal. I have 1,464 miles on it. Doing the 3rd touch up this...

No joke, my rear door tapped the garage door above it and it looked like someone took a flat head screwdriver to the paint. I never even heard it hit and was being careful. The nozzle to a water hose hit my passenger door and it looks like the flat head screwdriver was turned thin side and...

Could you advise on how I could get my scratches repaired /painted? The 2 on the back I can live with but one on passenger door I would like to get fixed. I’m so ticked. I’ve owned many Toyota, including a white 2001 and never seen paint this thin and brittle. I’m literally using a SIM card tool...

Also having issues with paint chipping to the metal. I’ve owned many cars and never seen paint this thin. My 4Runner is a 2020 in Super White. It honestly looks like there is no primer and it’s one layer of white paint, that thin. If these vehicles are made for off-road, why would they not make...

2020 TRD ORP in Super White with less than 1,500 miles. The paint is paper thin. It scratches to the metal WAY more easily than any other vehicle i’ve owned. i’ve owned about 15 vehicles, including 2 other 4Runners, Tacoma, GX 470 and GX 460. Tomorrow I will be touching up my 3rd nick that...
