Corporate relief for CAFE standards may be coming.

Trump to announce do-over on fuel economy rules - Mar. 14, 2017

Effects on the 4Runner future?

Probably.

March is now closed.

Estimates for sales figures released on Monday?

Ok - so here's where it get's interesting. A simple manipulation of the numbers says if we keep on this course - 2017 should eclipse 2016 by a large margin and push sales deep into 120k, almost 130k.

That would eclipse any 4th gen sales year and would push 5th Gen Sales past the 4th Gen sales totals, easily. That, assuming Toyota doesn't begin throttling production to appease a transition to the 6th Gen...which by all accounts that I have read on here, isn't going to happen in 2018. 2018 appears to be a 5th Gen model.

Interesting reading this thread. My last toyota was a 1997 4Runner. Owned mostly GMC diesel trucks since. Just ordered a TRD PRO for some of the reasons already stated. Can't wait to get it. Not used to begging dealers to buy a vehicle....

First +10K monthly run rate...

+6,378 over this time last year's record breaking year sales total. This year might eclipse 2004.

I wonder what's up with April, June and September every year?

I am going to create an account later for the auto industry database and see what trends come out industry wide. Might be interesting to see. I will also contact a few industry friends and see what is common knowledge.

Not Bad! 10,423! @WSJ is reporting this morning that US Automakers faced a steep decline in June sales with the 4Runner remaining strong.
