    Brand new, silver, SR5 premium. Not sure yet how many miles exactly. But I assume only test drives. It's not been dealer traded.

    Was it a sales person demo, maybe 1500 miles on it? If so, stay away. Buying something like that is like buying a rental. We all know how those cars are treated. Definitely get more details before making a decision.

    Actually, I'm mistaken. It had a build date of mid June... so, maybe it arrived in mid-July? Just a guess. So maybe it's been sitting 3 months.

    ... check that mileage. If over a 1000 I would stay away... like the Chris said... probably a sales person demo.

    Do you think they rub because of the offset? I thought 275s wouldn’t be a problem.

    I am looking at a new 4Runner. Only catch is they'd have to dealer grade and it'd be coming from about 200 miles away.

    Is there any risk to the vehicle if someone goes and gets it and sets cruise at 70mph for 3 hours right outta the gate?

    It would be a deal-breaker for me, personally. I like seeing only 0-20 miles on the odometer if I'm buying new.

    How long before a new shipment of 4Rs arrive at the dealership that's close by?

    have them flat bead it to your dealer. that's how I've bought a few vehicles. one from Chicago and another from Colorado

    Yeah, the risk is it's like a rental. You know the guy is going to beat the piss out of it because he doesn't care. No way in hell I would make a deal like that. If you absolutely must have it, drive out and get it yourself. Only good way to go about it.

    They'd be sending a 70 year old guy to get it. I've met him. I have no worries about abuse. Worry was more about driving on cruse control for the first 300 miles.

    I got a heck of a deal, as I'm trading a 2 month old 2018 Tacoma. So a 19 runner isn't an option.

    Could someone please post up a photo of the 2018 cargo area in a truck without 3rd row seats... with the second row folded down flat?

    Interested in seeing visually what the total space looks like. Thanks!

    Yeah, I did that myself, thanks. But they either have third row seat or a sliding tray or just aren't a real great pic in general.

    I'm wanting to see detail of the gap (or non-gap?) between the second row seats and the floor of the back end. And if it's flat? A bump? Just haven't seen a good pic of that via google image search.

    Figured someone here would be happy to help :)

    Well that is about the best I can do because this forum doesn't support tapatalk and I can't post pics. The first two photos in that link are representative of the area but with the slide out tray. Without the tray the floor is not flat. I have added a raised platform to make it flat.

    EDIT: scroll down in the link below and that is similar to what I did

    The last big batch of parts for my rig arrived yesterday. If all goes per plan, I will be installing the new suspension this weekend, getting the new tires mounted and balanced, and an alignment done!

    I was hoping it would be flat with a sealed gap in models without the 3rd row seat. That's area what I was hoping to see in pics.

    I think I will too! Can't wait to get it installed. I had the Stage 2 kit on my 2010 FJ Cruiser and it was fantastic.

    I'm a little anxious about the installation as this time around it will pretty much be me doing the installation by myself. My buddy and frequent co-conspirator on these projects moved out of state last year. It's going to suck not having a second set of hands available.
