    Pretty excited as I finally found my 2017 Cement TRD Pro. It only has 10,575 miles and clearly has been sitting in a garage for the last 4 years, I don't think it was even in the rain from the looks of the undercarriage. I turned my 2021 TRD Off Road Premium lease with 5K miles in and got 4K as well. I can delete all the car shopping apps now! Will post some more photos tomorrow and thanks to those that had tried to help out before!

    Probably too much but 53K. I rationalized it with the $4,750 I got back from the lease so net $49ish to me. Also I am in NorCal where prices for 4Runners make no sense. I view it I got a new car and will keep it forever. I found a lot with 30-45K miles but glad I held out and ended up getting the car here in the North Bay.

    The way prices are that’s actually really reasonable for having low miles and being a cement pro.

    Did you get it from Dublin Toyota?

    Those guys seem to be making a killing off of new and old TRD 4Runners.

    Hate the steps. Also hate the silver rails. Both of those things are easily fixed if you even care.

    I'm one of those who still likes the white lettering on the KO2's out. Again, great looking rig in one of the preferred colors.

    I would convert that carport into a full fledged garage now to house and protect that Gem. Not just for reasons of weather. I know out there, your weather isn't much of a factor, but for security if nothing else.

    Nice! Love Cement.

    This. I'm in the South Bay and my cousin also had a 5th gen a few years ago. He lived in one of those fancy apartments in Santa Clara, and one day he goes to the parking garage and his rig is on blocks. Took the TRD wheels right off.

    You never need to justify a 4Runner purchase in terms of dollars, but in terms of enjoyment (compounded by years of ownership, I suppose, and maybe a few other things unrelated to price). Congratulations on your sweet-looking ride!

    No one from Here calls it “Cali”. That’s how you know who isn’t from here.
