How rare are 2009 V8 4x4 limiteds?

[04_4runner]

I have an 04 SR5 V8 and love it. That said, it is almost 10 years old. I have considered replacing it with an 09 but if I'm going to spend that kind of money, it had better have a V8, 4x4, and Limited trim. My problem is that I can not find one. I have been looking at Toyota certified used website, Carmax, autotrader, eBay, and Craigslist for 3 months and have not been able to find one. I have talked to my local Toyota dealer who cant locate one although he didnt seem too interested in trying. I have seen two 4x2 V8 limiteds but that won't work for New England winters.
The ultimate find would be a 2009 V8 4x4 limited in blue with 60K or less miles.
Any thoughts as to how rare are these? I love the blue but would consider other colors. Since I'm not in a hurry, I will keep looking. My thought is that in 2014 the 09 will be 5 years old. Maybe that is when some will get traded in.

I just remembered I did see one but it was white with 169k miles. That's not for me.

These were indeed rather rare. (It is interesting to note that there is not a single 2009 Build Thread in the Master Build Thread Library)

2009: Last year of 4th Gen, last year of V8 and the reintroduction of a rear e-locker (but only in V6's) If you travel on over to JA's Top 4Runner's Site, you will find loads of info about all years. JA's Top 4Runners

The sales of 4Runners had been dropping precipitously in the last couple years of the 4th Gen with the 2009 model year the worst sales since 1984 per JA. If you consider the times; economy kinda crappy, gas prices kinda high and an expensive, gas drinking SUV... not a great formula. (Easy !, I didn't say gas guzzling )

Just go to Autotrader and put in your wishes and make the search radius unlimited. Right now it only shows 1 2009 V8 but it's an SR5 and it's in CO and it's got 150k miles on it. You'd have much better luck finding a 2008.

I used to own a 2009 4x4 V6 SR5 (now own a 2008 4x4 V8 SE). What I learned in both shopping experiences is that 2009's are not that common, but 2009 4x4 V8's seemed to be very very rare.

I found an '09 V8 limited for my aunt about 4 months ago. Must have been good timing. It was at a dealer near KC and only had 27k miles on it and showroom clean. She paid 28.5k for it and got good trade in on her '03. Keep looking, it will show up eventually.
