4runner TRD Pro

[Laurentide USA]

Wow, interesting. Thanks for the back story. I suppose what kind of deal you get is based more on the demand depending on the area you live in. I'm in the D.C. metro area,...northern VA. All the dealers I've talked to around here are not dealing below MSRP. They may have done in earlier on but I think that's done. They know when they're getting them and they know they can sell them very quickly. I had to put a deposit down just to hold it. Even tried going through the USAA buying program where they usually honor the "true car savings" or whatever. No dice. They told me,..."yeah, we're not gonna honor that for the TRD Pro's". I actually tried calling two Maryland dealers and they said they can't even get them in -- I guess NOVA is sucking them all in.

If you're trading in your current T4R, you could try taking the angle of getting more than normal for your trade. It's really a zero sum game, but for some reason they want to be able to show mother Toyota that the TRDP's sold for MSRP. Dealer told me that. Could be bull, but I think not. The white TRDP I looked at was in the sticks on the border of VT in a small town. It was special ordered then not taken. They actually would sell me the car at $39,700 down from $42,285 MSRP, but if I wanted to trade my LC, they were giving me bottom dollar because they can't move it at their little dealership. Instead I went with the other dealer (Boston burbs) who "sold it at MSRP" but gave me more than KBB trade-in on my LC to balance it out. Sorry for the long-winded response, but maybe it'll help you out.

Not long winded at all -- much appreciate the advice. I am going to be a pretty staunch on the trade for my Limited. It's in great condition with only 39,000 miles at this point,....it's a 2011. That would be the deal breaker for me if they try to F me over.

Hope everyone has a safe Memorial Day Weekend. This was taken earlier today, right before we hit the road to Laurel, MD and broke 1,000 miles on my odometer! :faint:

Did you change the fog light bulbs or just add the film over the lens?

 

[Shaolin]

Looking good man!

I appreciate it sir.

 

[Shaolin]

I did both. Yellow foglight overlay and yellow H16 bulbs. Perfect shade of yellow.

Over 1000 miles now. :faint:

Got her dirty today.

Here's an after, before, and a side angle after. Sorry the first two are sideways, but I'm too computer illiterate to figure it out. You get the idea though.

Awesome...

Do you have any other photos farther away of the whole truck?

Any issues with rubbing in the front at full lock or under compression?

Took her out today as well, slid through some dirt and went up the local hill.

Man I am struggling here.. I am glad you are enjoying your new rig but I don't think you realize the video you posted is a prime example of why people are giving TRD pro owners a bad time on this forum. I can no longer follow this thread, it's become embarrassing.

Don't let the door hit ya. I realize it isn't a mountain or a mud bed. It was an impromptu hill to try out the crawl control. If you want to be embarrassed over someone else then that's your problem for worrying about what people think about you. By no means did I pump up the post to be anything more than it is.

I am not understanding what is wrong with the video, I enjoyed it.

Here you go, mud might make it hard to tell but I hope this helps. Also showing where I cut the fenders for [MENTION=119958]Shaolin[/MENTION], had a lot of rub at full lock especially drivers side. Secured it to a hole to the rear with 550 cord because it was a but floppy after removing that piece.

I appreciate going out of your way to take pics for me. Looks like I'll be ordering them next week. :cheers:
