Buy used 2021 or wait to order 2022

My understanding is you are not really ordering a 4Runner but rather reserving one from dealer allocation. You might have to shop around to more dealers who have what you are looking for or have it coming to them. Inventory is very low right now as has been discussed in great detail. Both 2021 and 2022 are 5th Gens.

I believe there is an army green at Fred Anderson Toyota in Raleigh NC so you might want to check with them. I just spoke with a salesman Carlos from there yesterday and he mentioned it.
Pretty much this. I placed a 1K deposit at a dealer for a 2022 Trd Pro. Once they get the allocation of what they have coming in, they will notify me/provide me with a VIN#.
The army green is only available in the Trail Edition. So, if you're wanting a Pro, your only choice is used 2020. I looked at an AG Trail Edition and it was honestly just a little too stripped down for me to jump on it. The color was right and it had a cool Toyota cooler, but otherwise it was bare bones. The electric 4wd shifter sent me walking.

This forum has a 5th Gen section that might be better suited to discuss 2021/2022 5th Gen models.
Absolutely correct on "reserving one from dealer allocation". Two different regional dealers had inbound models and the one I preferred was headed to other dealer. My local dealer called and since it was not already "promised" to a customer for them, they horse traded and it was diverted to me.
Dealer told me inventory is "better" than a few months ago but still only around 30% of normal ready for sale inventory. I pulled the trigger to get a '21 due to me not crazy about the "infotech" junk that continues to invade autos and wasn't waiting to see more piled on the longer I held out.
I'm in Colorado Springs and put a 1K reservation deposit on an incoming 2022 Sport Edition. I've had Tacomas but this is my first 4Runner. Hope this all works out. The dealer told me that the vehicle was hitting the port shortly. I like the current 4Runner body style. The renderings for 2023 redesigns don't appeal to me at all.

Agreed. Especially with Limited wheels and a hood scoop configuration...WTF is that LOL
I hope you’re not basing a vehicle purchase on the miscellaneous ramblings of people trying to make money off of speculation.

Easy, I just did this after I heard BSM is in the 2022. Just go to a nice dealership and have them search the 2022 allocation map for the model and color you want at a dealership that hasn’t been reserved by a customer yet. Then have the salesman print the vehicle info with vin. Then call that other dealer who has been allocated that truck and offer to buy it, ask what has to be done to lock it up for you. Some just need name, some need a deposit, some need a purchase agreement signed(which is what I had to do). I ended up finding mine 1000 miles away in Salt Lake City, so I have to fly there to get it.
Also, this dealer initially said they add a market adjustment markup of $5k, I asked nicely if they can waive it, he countered at $2500, I stood firm and again asked nicely if they will waive bc other dealers would, and they ultimately waived it and sold it at MSRP.
For army green you can get it in The Pro(I think) or the New Trail model.

In Canada the trail edition is only available in army green. In the US the trail gets lunar rock. Lunar rock is available in the off-road, sport and limited models.

The 2022 4 runner brochure is available on line........it answers a lot of questions about available colors etc.

I talked to the local dealer - RI based - and they are suggesting that its 90 to 120 days to get one delivered, from date you order. As others point out the are pulling from available allocations that are in transit......the dealers don't really order one, they pull one from allocation lists of actual 4runners in transit.

I just reserved a Lunar Rock TRD ORP from a Southeastern MA dealer - Bristol Toyota - and they told me the same. 90-120 days

I did not place an order yet. Are they selling at MSRP?
I was concerned about it fitting in the garage........The concern was the "pro" roof rack height - then I looked at the specs in the 2022 brochure and I was surprised to see that it's only 1/2 inch higher........so it will fit
I have a 4runnner but don't plan to trade it in --so its a cash transaction for me. I am probably going to go with "magnetic gray"

Yes MSRP, no markup. Dealer policy for 35 years

excellent
I just stopped into the local dealer / Bristol Toyota.......they are selling 2022 PRO's at MSRP - read no mkt adjustment. I may pull the trigger and order one late this week...90 to 120 days to arrive is the current thinking

I'm waiting these crazy times out myself. My wife and I are still unsure of what 4wd we will end up with. It's narrowed down to 4Runner, Rubicon 2 door, or Bronco 2 door.

I don't blame you, but ultimately I made the decision because I don't think these prices are going anywhere soon, I think they will be similar if and when the 6th gens are released, and I want nothing to do with buying a new model until the first mid-generation redesign. My daily driver is also nearing some major repairs so I figured I would cut my losses before I get stuck without an option
