In Hot Springs, AR. I picked it up New Year's Eve. I had to drive 212 miles to pick it up. There were only two Salsa red's in the entire Gulf States area, and the other was in Baton Rouge, LA. Interestingly, the port of entry was LA, which makes me think they imported all the 4Runner's to there, and distributed them nationwide on the first run (normally, Gulf states port of entry is Houston).
As for the On board Navi, if you want KDSS, you get it whether you want it or not. But since the last time (in 2003) I had on board Navi, they have improved it greatly. No more nagging "Don't look at the screen and drive! And press OK so when we get sued when you do an kill yourself because you did we won't have pay because we told you not to!" before the map comes up anymore. That nag goes away when you fasten your seatbelt. The implementation of the Nav system is as good or better than my Garmin, so after the fact, other than the cost of it, I'm quite happy with it, and now glad it was included.
The Bluetooth system is great, too. I started it up in BT audio mode, and my iPhone automatically started playing without me even turning it on!
So far, no defects, complaints, or issues. Mileage was around 21 average on the trip back.

You can really see the color difference between black and gray in your last pic.

Mine was supposedly a first run also (for better or for worse) and its port of entry was listed as Portland, OR.
