Quote HistoryQuoted: Good luck with that. Toyota just announced a 50% reduction for new builds.  This one's supposed to be here by late September or early October so that means it's either already built and on the boat or nearly built. We'll see what they say next week. More importantly though is that this one is already allocated and in the build queue while my 4Runner order hasn't even been accepted yet. It was also a 40% reduction for the month of September according to all of the news articles I saw. |

GX thread
 I wasn’t too much a fan of that grill so I went with a VG condition first Gen. added Multi Terrain Select, Crawl Control, and some ARB skids. Have a Prinsu rack inbound. Still undecided on whether to lift or not, and wheels and tires.  Attached File |

I'm going to be happy when I actually get a delivery date as until then I'm still in disbelief that I was actually able to locate one in Nori Green. With the huge PITA that it's been trying to replace my 4Runner I'm just not ready to celebrate yet. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Way to come out thread. Hope you and your husband enjoy it. Green isn't for everyone but the only other options were white or black. I just sold a black 4Runner and I don't want white so that leaves green as I also don't want a bunch of chrome so that meant Black Line Edition. |

The grill and the outdated tech is what kept me from buying one, same with the LC. On the LC I just could not get over the old looking tech, very annoying since many of the things had to be done via the screen and there isn't a way around it, the backup camera was horrible. The gas tank is small.
Quote HistoryQuoted: Is anyone making aftermarket bumper/grille packages that make it look less..."unconventional"? A guy, maybe over on ih8mud, ordered all the Prado front end parts from overseas. Not cheap, but it looks great. I don't have the link available. |

My sister in law has a 2020. I don't love it. No doubt it has impeccable history as far as being reliable.
But the technology is dated compared to anything in the same price range, the engine/fan is loud and the gas mileage is horrible considering it's not quick. I also don't like how high the trunk floor is. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I can't lie that the V8 and 6-speed plus the 6500lb tow capacity was a big part of why I bit the bullet. Also, after having the wife's AWD RAV4 for a winter it is really nice not having to mess with switching into and out of 4WD. That is especially true on just partly snow/ice covered roads. |

Thanks to @Amped I was able to find the GX that the dealer said they could get for me but then stopped responding at the actual dealer who ordered it.
They said they weren't sending it to the dealer I had been working with and while someone had wanted to know when it came in so they could look at it they didn't place a deposit. Given that I put a deposit down, they charged my card, and I got a receipt so it's mine when it shows up. I'm having it shipped as it's too far away for me to want to drive. Now I'm happy again. |

I went down to see if they could do me a vet discount, but there were 6 coming in and spoken for. I ended up buying a used GL450 and tuned it. It hauls ass, but it has some issue with the AC system so the place has had it for going on 6 weeks now. TX doesnt seem to have any kind of used lemon law so I am driving loaners, and kinda wished I had bent over and spent the $60k
