    Hi, I was shopping for a TRD Off Road 4Runner back in 2018, saw a few at 36k brand new...I thought that was way too expensive, so ended up getting a 2010 GX 460 for 19k in the fall of 2019 before used prices went to the moon. Drove the GX around for 120k+ miles but ended up with cooling issues and traded it in.....now I have some left over parts I had posted on a different forum (TRD Pro Fox shocks).....I should have bought the 4runner brand new :sadviolin:

    Howdy neighbor, I’m here in Poway. Look for a 2023 for around 39K and with low miles. Welcome to the forum.

    Welcome from Scripps Ranch. I somehow get 2025 4Runner ads sent to me from South Bay Toyota (Los Angles). Used 4Runners too. I'm impressed with what South Bay Toyota is advertising. I bought my 2024 4Runner TRD Black Out from Escondido Toyota new, $44,000 out the door. (Actually my wife bought me the 4Runner for Fathers Day)

    Traded the GX in for a 2 Door manual Base Bronco with the Sasquatch pkg (35's, lockers, gears). I had a deposit down for the Scout but couldn't wait that long. New 4Runners look nice but paying almost $70k for one, oof...that's GX 550 Overtrail territory.
