What difference between 2011 and 2013 Limited

[EverestWC]

I'm going to buy either a 2011 4Runner limited with 32k miles at a local dealer or order a 2013. I was wondering what differences/ problems etc. there are between the two years.
Thanks

I searched with no help. Anyone?

Since you said you searched and found nothing and frankly, I can't remember anything that would help. I am thinking you got your answer. No real changes or problems between the two years. Let your wallet be your guide! Be safe and have a very Merry Christmas!

I just bought a 2013. Not sure but I think the nav system is a little different and they added the entune. There is a button on the outside of the rear lift gate where you can roll the window up or down by pushing a button. Oh, the hooks that hold the mats on the floor board are different. Found this out the hardway after my wife ordered new digital fit floor mats for me for Christmas.

The differences are pretty minor; its mostly the same truck.

It would depend on the price of the used truck as to whether it is the better deal. The resale value on these things is so high that you hardly save anything by buying used. I looked at the used prices and decided to go with a new one for not much more money.

Good luck.

I've had an '11 Limited since late '10 and it's a great truck. No issues. Only a few upgrades that I'd want (retractable running boards, etc). As others have said - let the wallet decide. If it's all about the same, go with the new truck. But know that if you get the used '11 for a great deal, you're not making a mistake.

As said earlier. The Entune system was introduced on the 2012 models. This system will link with your phone via Bluetooth and use your phones data plan to use pre installed apps in the system such as bing, pandora, I heart radio... Etc. it's pretty sweet!!

Ended up getting a great deal on the used one. Thanks for the input!

Congrats - mind sharing what it cost you? Those of us who own similar trucks are always curious what the going rate is if we decided to sell unexpectedly.
