4runner TRD Pro
- Thread starter Trob20
- Start date
One thing to consider is the limited production and the fact that with every sale, there are and will be fewer Pro's left for the production run. They may have been willing to deal a little more on the introduction until they figured out how popular they are and so forth. I ordered mine, dealer agreed to $1,000 off MSRP and I have to wait about 3 months. In the end if you're happy that's all that matters.
If you want a specific color (I wanted White and there aren't any around the OK/Texas area right now, or at least there weren't two weeks ago), you may end up paying more.

It's actually just one dealer in midwest city I believe.. They have 10+ FJ's and ~5 T4R with lifts/tires/cosmetic upgrades. Some look good, but they aren't the PRO!
I just got on truecar.com, filled out the cert, walked in to Norman Oklahoma dealership and got $1600 off MSRP with no haggling. Smoothest interaction I've had with a dealership in years. Now the waiting begins...

The front spacer kit will not cause rubbing...in fact, it would help alleviate it if anything.
The spidertrax on the other hand will def cause rubbing with that tire size. I had to do some very minor cutting on the front of each wheel well in the front. I'm sure you've done the same or you will rub at full lock with the stock tire size.

Good to know. Thanks. I haven't done the top plate spacer yet and am not sure if I will or not. I'd like to go to 285 when my stock set wears out. If I knew ahead of time if I'd need the top spacer plate to go that big or not would be helpful.
I have not had to cut anything thus far and I have no rubbing anywhere.

heres another:
i read your post. there is always someone willing to undercut someone else to make a sale - thats great that you looked around, but it sounds like you weren't looking in the right places. sorry i offended you but thats how i see it - if you're willing to spend thousands of dollars for a slight bit of convenience thats fine, its your money - but i see it as whole heartedly foolish. i work way too hard for my money to throw it away because some retard in a cheap suit thinks a TRD Pro is special enough to warrant MSRP or MSRP+ pricing.
the supply isn't tight enough on TRD Pros for it to be even reasonable to pay that much money. every dealer has one, and every dealer is getting one next week. I'm happy you like your truck, and I'm happy you got one as the 4Runners are great and the Pros are pretty cool. but supply and demand isn't a contributing factor here. dealership being *******s is, and people giving into their demands because they have a hole in their pocket. i feel sorry for the person that paid MSRP for a Trail Premium, that guy is really getting his ass reamed out.
hell, there are dealers who are willing to sell Raptors below invoice pricing. i can walk into my Toyota dealer and buy a Pro tomorrow for 1% above invoice price.
i tell it like it is, if you'd like to interpret that as me being a dick then go ahead.
Right back at you with your pictures. You are wrong in almost everything you said in that post.
I don't know what you are talking about that evey dealer is going to get one next week and every dealer has one. The dealer I bought mine from said that they are not getting any more. I know tons of dealers who don't have one currently. Call Findlay Toyota in Flagstaff , AZ and ask if they have one. I guarantee you they don't. Also ask if they have sold one. The answer will be no. I was driving through the lot just gazing and all the sales people came and looked at mine because they hadn't seen one yet, in fact they thought I had one that I converted. That was JUST LAST WEEK. I talked to 4-5 dealers in UT and most wanted 3-5$k over MSRP. I paid MSRP for mine. Am I lazy? Am I stupid?
Check your facts dude. While you are at it, show me a Raptor for less than invoice, new. They stopped making them and I bet they are nearly gone. Go ahead, tell me like it is.
By the way, I paid MSRP for mine in UT and had an offer for $1500 over invoice in AZ. Guess how much difference in price there was between them out the door? Less than $500 because AZ sales tax is more than 8% and in UT it is 6%.

I'm sorry your extreme butthurt is clouding your vision into thinking I'm wrong, but I'm not. this years supply has already been allocated and shipped from Japan, some may not have them anymore. do you really think something this hot of a seller, Toyota is only going to make for one year? and really? you're going to pick at the Raptor thing, when there aren't any new raptors left? how desperate are you? we can get back to that when the new Raptors go into production in the spring and id be happy to show you dealers in Texas that will sell them at Invoice.
heres the facts, jack - you and everyone else that pays MSRP or higher is lazy and is ruining it for everyone else. By letting those dealers take advantage of those that are willing to pay more, gives them the right to even try it in the first place. they're all scum bags trying to make a buck by taking advantage of people that either don't know any better, have a hole burning in their pocket or have more money than brains. and for the record, i never said anyone was stupid - i just said they were lazy. if someone wants to justify that by saying their time is more valuable; ok whatever, but see above.

You are trying to justify what you said is right, when it isn't.
I am done with people on this forum telling me that I need to read Dale Carnigie books to take advantage of people, and that I'm lazy because I paid MSRP for my truck. You don't know anything about me. You are making a ton of assumptions about me, other people, and about future events. Example: there are dealers going to sell the new raptors for invoice when they don't go on sale for about 12 months. You mean to tell me that a dealer is going to sell a newer version of an already popular truck and make nothing on it?!
Your solution to everyone paying MSRP or above us to knock them, say that they are lazy so dealers lower the price? Good luck with that.
Did you read the end of my last post? It doesn't matter if you pay MSRP or more, it matters the out the door price, the total $ you spend. My point was that your deal varies with TTL and fees, and it can vary greatly.
What's it to you anyway what I spent on my truck? Why do you care so much about what I do with my money?

Just curious, do they have a VIN yet? I'm in the same boat (figuratively). Mine was at the port last week and had a VIN. I don't know which port though. I do know that it will have to go to Houston before it gets here no matter what port it is in now. My dealer said 1 week but I don't think I buy that. Another dealer said 7-14 days after they get a VIN. Not sure about that either. I have read this whole thread and I still don't have a good estimate on how long it might take mine to get here. :redbrick:

Ha! Yes. Good luck to you and me! :frog:
They get VIN #'s when they are allocated- long before they are shipped and at port. Give me your dealer name and I will get you your vin and Vspec if they won't give it to you

Thanks Jeff. PM'd.
Just some back story:
I was looking at buying a TEP that they had incoming and had mentioned some interest in a TRDP. While I was waiting on them to get a VIN for the TEP ( a few days), they said the sales manager used my name to request a Pro. They said that at this point to be able to get any more in they had to have a customer interested. So once I said I would rather have the Inferno they said we could start working a deal as soon as they got a VIN on it. They say they got the VIN on Thursday or Friday last week. I have no idea how much of any of that stuff is true...lol. I don't put much trust in anyone that is trying to sell me something. Any info you can get on its status is much appreciated. Thanks!
