4K off a new 4Runner is a very good deal.

I've got a 16 SR5P in Blue currently, and had a 12 SR5 before that as well. Love 4runners, and Limiteds are great as well, Congrats!

My wife has a '14 Limited and she loves it.
I, however, do not. It lacks a blue oval on the grill thus it's a piece of shit.

I've been getting the itch lately to upgrade from my 3rd gen 4runner and have been reading reviews all day. Please post a detailed review
 . I'm trying to resist. One of the things stopping me is the 2018 is rumored to be a new generation, but I wouldn't want a first year model of a new generation so I would be stuck waiting even longer. I would also go with a limited just for all the extras it comes with and how I would use it. I'm already jealous

Mine is silver with black interior. Only options are all weather mats, remote start, and the roof rack cross bars. I got $3k off. I really went back and forth between waiting on a 2017 TRD Pro in the new Cement color, or getting the 2016 Limited. I like the external looks of the Pro more, but like the interior, luxury features, and full time AWD of the Limited more. I don't really do any real off-roading, so decided the Limited was a better option for me. I can always lift it, put different wheels, etc... fairly easily to make it look more like a Pro, but would struggle to put all the luxury features that are important to me into the Pro. Things like the memory drivers seat are huge for me as I am 6'0" and my other half is 4'11". With old manual seats, not a huge deal. With modern power seats it takes like 5 minutes to slide the seat back far enough for me to get in after she has driven it!!!

Not a fan of the full time 4wd. Shitty gas mileage shitty turning radius. Bigger rims = more money on tires. Get a trail or sr5 premium.

Got it home yesterday. I don't care for the trail or sr5 with the softex fake leather. I wanted leather, and the silver paint with brown leather really appealed to me visually. I also like the AWD, and don't care about fuel cost. I work at home and the most driving I do is to florida to go fishing around 5 or 6 times a year. I may start going more this year. Even with the trips I am lucky if I put 8k a year on a car these days.

You realize, aside from the tires potentially costing more (265/70/17 vs 245/60/20), the rest of what you said is all complete BS, right? Anyone in the market for a 4runner knows that the full economy for any of the models sucks, at least in comparison to the unibody SUVs on the market. I suspect that is not why most of us buy them. Starting this model year (2017) they no longer make the Trail model - or at least badge it as such. The model levels are now: SR5, SR5 Premium, TRD Offroad, TRD Offroad Premium, Limited and TRD Pro. Some stats directly from the Toyota USA website: SR5 Premium vs Limited: Rated fuel economy: Same for both" 17/20/18 (highway/city/combined) Approach/Departure angles: Same for both: 33/26 (degrees) Ground clearance: Same for both: 9.6" Turning Circle Diameter: Same for both: 37.4' Towing rating: Same for both: 5,000 lbs. For anyone who spends the majority of their time on-road, the AWD system is 100% better for slick, and even snow covered, roads. In a pure off-road situation, the part time 4WD system with manually shifted transfer case is definitely better suited and more durable. Dan. |

I am saying it's more wear and tear on parts. Also back to tires. Ever have a tire go out on a AWD vehicle when youre 1/2 through the expected tire life? 
Eta. Average 15.5 in limited and 17.7 in the older sr5. Both mostly city driving. Eta2: it's a nice ride OP you'll love it! Not bashing the limited. It's a great vehicle. But if I wasn't married and a three row blizzard pearl limited was my wife's dream car I prob wouldn't have it. |

You see "rated fuel economy" is BS. In true arfcom fashion I have both a limited and sr5. Pretty sure I know what one gets better mileage. Turn radius the same?? Lol.

That is why what I said was the "rated" specs as I know they can vary. My daily commute is horrible for fuel economy - 2.5miles one way. Vehicles barely get warm in that distance and is a prime reason fuel economy means nothing to me. I have been averaging 15.2 over that shitty drive in cold temps (and only 800 miles on the 4R so far), so fully expect the MPG to improve somewhat with break-in, summer fuel, and highway driving mixed in. The sad part, my Tundra (CrewMax, TRD, 4x4, 5.7L) averages about 14.1 under the same shitty driving conditions. Four of my vehicles (Galant VR-4, Manual trans FJ Cruiser, FX35, GT-R) have been AWD and I have never had any premature or irregular drivetrain wear. Maybe I don't keep them long enough/drive enough distance, but it's just never been an issue. Ideally, I'd love to have the appearance/driveline of the TRD Pro, with the interior and features of the Limited, but given the choices Toyota offers, the Limited was the best fit for ME. ETA: I'm not sure I'd ever consider the 4runner for an SUV with a 3rd row seat. Gotta be pretty cramped unless it is a couple of tiny ones back there. Mine is just a 5 seater. Dan. |

My 2012 Limited has been a great vehicle.
Paid off last year - no need to trade it up. Six cyl is a bit tame going up the mountains, but not horrible. Would definitely buy again - the best reference kn a vehicle... |

My 2016 SR5 came with the 3rd row. Didn't need it but happened to come with. Not much space but doable for smallish adults. You lose all cargo space with the third row up. I get 15.5 in the city. |

funny storry, I was mountain biking along the river. Pretty far down a loging trail come around the bend and there's #17xx. Belonged to a 17yo who was fishing. He said he just bought it and wanted to put a wing on it. 
A limited trd would be nice. As for the 3rd row I am not a fan. It takes up a lot of cargo space. Wife wanted it. It's never been used.  Does not comfortably fit me at 6'2". But can haul an extra couple soccer players if needed. It nicely tucks away with the push of a button. The second row seats slide back and have more room than the sr5.
Ditched the weather tech mats and got husky liners. They cover everything! Very happy with them. Carpet is flawless even after an entire soccer team of 12yos huddled inside between games in the rain. |

My 4R came with the factory all weather mats. They seem fairly decent and offer pretty good coverage. The 2nd row mat is one piece even, so it covers the driveline hump. I've always used Weathertech Digital Fit floor liners in my other trucks/suvs, but have heard good things about the Husky liners. I've seen some really horrible Galant VR4s in my time. Little love for them, but honestly, most people have no clue, and they are getting up there in age now. Mine was 1564/2000. Not sure what part of PA you are in, but the pic in the below link (not inserted as a pic to not get too off topic of the OP) was taken at Maple Grove Raceway, parked all the way out by the road coming in to the track. Just happened to be a pic I had loaded to my Photobucket account. I owned it for 11 years, but sold it several years ago. Currently lives in NC with an active military member. Galant VR4 1564/2000 Dan. |

I'm eyeballing a 2016 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Premium, Nav, 4WD, lifted, 20" wheels, 3rd row seat, just under 19,000 miles.
Is $42,500 a fair price for this? Seems high to me...  Attached File |

Seems high to me. I almost bought a new 2016 Trail Premium with KDSS for $38,400 or so in late 2016. I guess it depends on how much value you put in the lift and those wheels, but with almost 20k miles already, I think it's high. |

So I got my dealer to come off $4K on a new 2016 SR5. I was looking at the premium but the more I thought about it, I could do the fabric or the softtex, didn't care for the moon roof or heated seats.
$33k sale price with mats, cargo tray, and TRD Grill installed. Good to Fo? |
