Still looking st SEs and SR5s
Thanks for the pics guys.
Got out to see some trucks today in person... dealer had a huge selection but no Black SE to be found on the lot.
This being a large dealership, they had (3) non-Limited 4runners with AM Leather already installed ($1395 added to sticker). This was nice to see in person as it is something I'm considering. The Leather looked of good quality and there were no zippers or unusual stiching.
One of the trucks I test drove that came with the AM Leather was a Galactic Gray SE with a nice Dark Charcoal leather inside... had this one been Black, I probably would have bit the bullet and bought today, even if it meant going over budget.
I also drove a Black SR5 with Stone AM Leather. One draw back with the SR5 (for me anyway) is no PWR seats. Pwr seats is something I've come to expect and really liked that feature in the SE. That said, the leather feel makes a huge difference on the SR5 IMO.
Thoughts on the test drives:
SE - I purposely test drove the SE to see if it felt any different than the SR5s I've driven and sure enough I did prefer it's ride. A couple of subtle differences in the interior were nice also as was the slightly upgraded stereo. Not a huge fan of the Tubular stuff or the view of the hood scoop from the drivers seat....
End result, I'm mulling over the offers I received after much negotiation.
