they'll be the same as any other SR5, Limited, or non-KDSS Trail, if that helps.

It's a 4Runner, so yeah, it's manufactured in the same facility as all the other 4runner models... As usual, Toyota has done a masterful job of marketing and selling the public on the limited availability of these Pro models across all 3 platforms... but I see them sitting on the lot for weeks, sometimes months up in the northeast. It's just another 4Runner in this market area.
I have a 2017 TRD Pro 4 Runner in Cement locked in at 2500 under msrp. It can't be that special if a dealer is willing to do that 4-5 months before mass production of 2017 models begin...

Since you seem to have the inside line on dealerships letting the TRDPs go for less than MSRP, care to share? I think quite a few in this community would benefit for some actual contact information...dealer name...phone #...anything.
Seems the consensus is sticker, or slightly over due to dealer markup. What someone is willing to pay is all relative to their situation.
That being said, I've recently put my name in the hat for a 2017 - dealer said there are about 12 people who've put in for an allocation as the 2016s are done for the region and all outstanding orders will be '17s.

2500 under msrp is a great deal. I am going to look at a 4R PRO tomorrow morning...its sold but I just want to get a close up look as I have not yet had the opportunity see one firsthand. The dealer has a MGM inbound and informed me that it will be sold for MSRP. Could you PM me the selling price you were able to get?

I do not have the inside line at all by any means. I just knew exactly what I wanted so I went to all 5 dealerships in my area gave them 3 days to accept my offer. If they accepted I gaurunteed them 10's on their survery so they can work toward the corporate kickbacks and annual awards.
My only advice would be to find the highest volume dealer in your area that you're willing to travel to and start there. Dealer sales leaders per region don't get to that position by selling their vehicles at msrp (especially in this truecar environment)... Tell them I want this this and this and in return you'll get 10's, make some $ above invoice (to keep the lights on and pay the employees) plus you'll get your holdback from Toyota (all profit which generally goes directly into the dealership owners pocket but sometimes if a certain nuber is reached he cuts in the sales manager(s)) and be one unit closer to your sales goal with zero stress. Those sales goals are big money for dealerships who achieve them along with getting perfect 10's on customer feedback surveys... That's worth more than 1-2K dollars off a single vehicle... dealers who get these awards get hundreds of thousands of dollars in bonus money come year end if they make it from corporate as recognition in their ability to peddle the product. Toyota didn't get to be the #1 in sales worldwide by selling vehicles for msrp... One just has to find the right dealer to see the bigger picture. Some dealers I ran in to weren't trying to achieve sales volume... they were trying to make profit by selling near, at or above msrp... I simply laughed and walked away... 10 miles away I found the dealer that accepted my offer. keep asking until you get the answer you want. Remember you are the consumer and you hold the power in both $ and survery responses on satisfaction.
Lastly, I'd give you my salesman but I believe in equal opportunity, but not equal outcome. Good luck.

Not much wiggle room on price if a dealer has a legitimate list of potential buyers. But money always talks. If you are standing in front of them and willing to lay down a deposit they will sell to you before someone who is simply on a list. Guaranteed. They are car salesmen.
There appears to be many who are willing to pay over sticker. If the dealer has deposits on vehicles already negotiated for over sticker you are out of luck.
There is so much posted on negotiation and buying, I am not going to get into it. It goes like this: salesman, sales manager, accessories person, and, finally, the finance person. All want to get their claws into your wallet. What someone has paid has to do with all kinds of factors.
Mine was a 2015 purchased in March. It didn't feel like it, but demand may have been way different at that time.
Go see Claude Augmon at Boch Toyota South in North Attleboro. I paid less than sticker and also got much more than expected on my trade. No idea how it happened other than I was willing to buy then and there. And, I was ready to walk and they knew it. Got lucky, was told 6-8 weeks, and only had to wait a few weeks.

How true! I gave my salesman's name in my post, but what someone else gets as a deal has little to do with what I, or anyone else, was able to negotiate.
Thanks!
And hopefully that dealer doesn't renege on that deal when it actually arrives....
anybody here actually gotten $2500 off MSRP? Last I checked there was only $2600 from invoice to sticker and I worked at Toyota. I think plenty are paying sticker and even over but hey, who'd want to admit that? They are certainly holding their value so far based on what I see dealers asking for them used
so true. Also some dealers charge a dealer setup or prep fee. You also have to account for a markup in the financing, warranty purchase, aftermarket lojack or alarms, etc. The $2500 may just be BS anyways so bragging about it is plain arrogant and uninformed.

I got $829 off total MSRP. Not $2500, but not over. I ordered mine with everything. The dealer had a quicksand coming in but I wanted super white.

Wouldn't it cost more money in the long run for the guys who do this than if they would have just bought a pro in the first place? Isn't the grill swap alone a few hundred?

I would think so. He had everything. Tail lights, grill, badges, rims and even the shifter. But not the seats....

I will be moving out in there in a few months. We will have to go wheeling.
