I ordered a 2017 TRD Pro 4Runner on Saturday and was told 14-18 week backorder. You can't "order" a TRD Pro. They are distributed by 'allocation' and a dealer prays that they get one, many don't. If they don't get 'allocated' one then the best they can do is trade for one, and almost no dealer is willing to give up a TRD Pro. They simply tell customers that they can order one to get them on a hook. Toyota dealers will earn a certain number of 'allocations' each month based on their sales. So if they earn 15 allocations then they fill out a priority list that goes to a lottery. If they really want to increase their chances of getting a TRDP then their first 5 selections out of the 15 will be a TRDP, hoping that 1 of their 5 entries gets picked, if not they just burned up 5 choices. My brother sold cars and I went straight to the top at our Toyota dealerships looking for a TRDP 4R. They only tell customers that they can "order" one to keep them roped in at the dealer. They only had 1,500 total TRDP 4Rs last year in the USA market, 500 in each color. |

Sounds similar to what Dodge did with the 2015 Hellcat. Dealers promised guys cars, but couldn't deliver because they didn't have the allocations.

Probably still figuring out how much they can overcharge for them.

How much you wanna bet they get me exactly what I want... and even make the 2 hour drive to personally deliver it to me!

Curious about this also.
Local dealer has 23 SR5's and 2 Trails sitting on the lot right now. Zero mark-downs with 10 days left in the calendar year... |

They know ~3 months ahead of time if they are. Otherwise there are no "pre-orders." You would be amazed at how they falsely mislead customers into thinking that they can have one 'ordered' for them (anything to keep customers under that dealer's roof). If you try to have them put that 'gaurantee' to writing...they won't. No such thing as a "backordered" TRDP. An allocation system does not allow for "backorders." |

Hell I never even saw a 16 on the lot. If it came off the truck it was sold that day. Took my quite some time to get the wife's new limited.

I have yet to see any 2017 4-Runners for sale - even the Toyota website still lists 2016.... Anyone know the reason or when the 2017s will come to market? Great avatar, btw.

ok. Corolla as a daily driver. Transmisson grenaded at about 105k miles. That was after a lengthy list of other problems that I always fixed. 4 runner as a toy/off-road rig. Granted it was an older model. Timing chain snapped while driving to a trail run. Fixed that and used it a little longer. Wasn't great off-road, always felt too big and boxy. Tundra. For a "truck" it's towing capabilities were laughable. Just towing a relatively light Suzuki samurai it struggled and actually felt dangerous. Got terrible gas mileage regularly. Never felt powerful. Seats were uncomfortable and ripped easily. List of other issues as well. I haven't had good experience with the brand |

Yep, I got my Trail in January, it was on the lot 24 hours total before I drove it home. I saw it pop up in inventory, requested the test drive for the next morning online, and the dealer said that since I requested the drive first I had the first shot at it. After I drove and agreed to purchase, two more people showed up for the next test drive slots. One of them was offering to buy it from me in the lot as I was loading my stuff in it. |

They have to get through all their 16's first. There was a big delay on the 16's regarding the airbags so they made sure to fix the issue on the 17's but still have a large stock of 16's in the yards.

Had a helluva time finding one in 2010 when the new model came out. Wife had to have leather. We found a cloth SR5 in Houston but she didn't like it. I found one online in College Station/Bryan but it was already sold. They said they had a gray leather sunroof SR5 coming in and I bought it over the phone and worked out a trade in amount, all without stepping on the lot. I don't know if it was BS or not as I don't recall getting the VIN right away like I did when I ordered my Ram. With that I had a VIN about 3 weeks after the order. Toyota said ordering was not possible but this was after an earthquake in Japan I believe. Ours has been rock solid but it's a 4x2 and only goes offroad if my wife hops a curb. You can pretty much weld the hood shut on these things.
