Rear Sliding Cargo Tray

[NuclearN8]

I want to buy a new 4Runner for my wife that has this option but I cannot find one.

So I'm asking for everyone's help on here. If you see one for sale, please post it in this thread.

OR

If you have information on which Toyota sales regions routinely stock this option for its' dealers that would be useful too.

I am in PA and apparently the only way to get one in this region is to order a 4Runner or hope the dealer can work an exchange with an unallocated one in from a neighboring region coming thru the same port.

Thank you
Nate

PS. I searched and read all the threads on here about this topic and didn't see any recent conclusive information on the logistics of this option broken down by sales region (this is the reason for the new thread).

I couldn't find one either when I was shopping for my TEP. I considered it as a dealer add-on but the cost is ridiculous if it doesn't come from the factory. After some research, I read that some guys don't even use theirs so I eventually gave up and decided to use that money on other parts of my build.

Appreciate the feedback, but this isn't an option. My wife saw it online and said she's only interested in a new 4Runner that has this option so... otherwise she'll keep driving her 2007 (however, I need to find her a new vehicle, so I don't get the guilt trip when I buy my Land Cruiser next year). Happy wife, happy life.

In SC, I was unable to find a TEP without it!

I am going to remove mine and sell it. Make me an offer.

The sliding tray is awesome. I love mine and use it all the time.

I personally hate it, yea the slide thing is nice first but then its cons start to outweigh its pros.. namely less usable rear space, slide rails get sand in and start to squeak, stuff falling into the back area when you have more stuff back there and using the tray... etc. Wish it were an afterwards add on that you can take off when not needed.

I see you working. ;-)

The fact that you're removing yours makes me want it even less. Funny how that works.

Yea, I am replacing it with the goose-gear plate system for drawers.

This one is 200 miles away from a PA zip code and has it - so maybe start with this area.

This is useful info to refine my search. Thank you.

this thread helped me find these sites which can help locate 4runners in different regions.. just plug in a different zip to go to that sales region.
then narrow inventory results...

Time to shop!

South East Sales Region Inventory:
Southeast Toyota :: 4Runner

Central Atlantic Sales Region Inventory:
Vehicle Inventory Results | Inventory Search | CentralAtlantic.BuyAToyota.com

GST Inventory:
Toyota Local Offers | Toyota Deals & Incentives | GulfStates.BuyAToyota.com | GST

Chicago Area Inventory:
Toyota Local Offers | Toyota Deals & Incentives | Chicago.BuyAToyota.com

Kansas City Sales Region Inventory:
All Vehicles | Inventory Search | KansasCity.BuyAToyota.com

you get the idea... just plug in the zip of the sales region you want to search from my first post and it'll take you to that region and allow you to search the vehicle inventory for all dealers in that region.

have you considered an aftermarket solution if you want?

I have this and recommend it:
Black Cargo Slide by Beyond Cargo for SUV and Mini Vans

Sure the sliding tray is nice to have, but I wouldn't love my truck any less without it. I personally haven't used mine more than a handful of times. Most recently, I used it to load ikea boxes (see pic). I will say that it makes for a great spot to sit and relax while camping and can provide additional length if you are sleeping in the truck. I am not sure if it is 100% worth the extra $$ or headache trying to track down a truck with it, just my 2 cents.

I wish I had this on my 2016 Limited

I really wanted the sliding tray but I couldn't find one and neither could my dealer. Anyone know if that can be added?

Yes. But the quoted price to me from the dealer was something stupid - like $700 installed. Not worth it.

Cargurus.com can search a 500 mile radius of a zip code. Try a couple zip codes around the country. You can specify trim, and then the cargo tray option. You can also setup email alerts. That's how I bought my Quicksand TRD Pro back in Sept.

I had the exact opposite problem and had to order a 4runner without the slider. Every TEP I could find in the South East had it already installed.
