My Lunar Rock arrived today

Total board noob here, but a 4Runner fan. Had a '97 SR5 for years that I loved. Took delivery of my '21 TRD Lunar Rock today. I got super lucky in that the moment I inquired with the dealer, it was about the moment they were allotted their single annual Pro in the special colorway. Surprisingly nobody had it on reserve. It took 8 weeks to arrive to the dealer as it was supposedly on a ship at the time of order.

First impressions:
- Menacing look, picture angles don't do it justice. It sits mean.
- Love the old skool charm. No apologies. Rear rolldown window FTW.
- Super HQ build. Like, bulletproof.
- Buttery acceleration, spongelike suspension. Couch on wheels.
- Excellent stereo! No idea what anyone is complaining about. Borderline audiophile here.
- Lots of road noise over 50 mph from the tires (and lift?)
- Super thirsty, like 15mpg so far (after 20 miles from new, should improve??)
- [edit] there is a factory alarm; salesperson was trying to upsell me
- Ready for adventures

 

Beautiful!! Should be keyless entry/push button start? Walk up to it, interior lights turn on within ten feet, then touch the door handle and it unlocks? With the remote in your pocket?

 

Need to read up on that!

 

My Corolla has this feature from 2014, I would think the technology made it to the 4R by now?

 

It does have a “hidden key” in the remote you can use to open the door. IF you loose power in the remote or the battery is dead in the auto...

 

Congrats. and welcome to the forum.

 

Congrats and welcome to the Lunar Rock club. I love mine. Your rig is beautiful. I’m still debating on getting the black out letter for the rear. I just got my windows tinted last weekend. Here’s my baby.

 

And if you get out of the vehicle with the car running and remote in your pocket it beeps at you...

 

Two great looking Lunar Rock's! Love how the contrasting light color and black accents pop on the lighter colors. Get none of that on the Black obviously and somewhat limited on the MGM.

I am close to pulling the trigger on a MGM Pro and have been curious if the Pro JBL / 15 speaker sound system is really good or not so much? Good to hear someone finally address the Pro sound system.

 

If you are worried about theft, put in a kill switch or two. Most people tend to ignore alarms going off. Congrats on your ride.

 

Congrats!!
I should be getting mine next week. It's at the dealership, we're just waiting for the paperwork to show up

 

Maybe it was on the same ship? I live near the Elizabeth port.

 

I think my build date was around Jan 15th.

 

Congrats and welcome.

 

Congrats

 

[edit] there is a factory alarm; salesperson was trying to upsell me. To lo-jack I think

 

To my ears, the JBL sound fine. I did have to adjust the setting quite a bit to make it sound good to my ears. I still feel like I need to fiddle with the mids and bass. Here are my settings. It definitely sounds way better than my 2019 audio.

 

fold the backseats down......night and day difference. I'm quite happy with the JBL.

 

Good to know! With the kids grown up and this being MY future toy, the backseats shall remain down or even removed! Thanks for the feedback!

 

What's "Lunar Rock?" Is that a particular color or trim level?

 

It's the unique TRD Pro color for 2021

 

Ah got it thanks!

 

I thought the Rav4 got a similar color....

 

Congrats! I also got lucky with timing on mine - the dealer I called had been allocated one that morning to replace a new Tundra that was totaled in transit to their lot. Only had to wait ~6 weeks when everyone else was telling me 12-15 weeks but "no promises."

I can concur with pretty much all of your list. Mine is replacing an '05 SR5 - so everything about the Pro is an upgrade to me. LEDS are fantastic; stereo is miles better than the grainy ones in my '05; I think the Pro produces more sound than my old SR5, but the cabin is also better sound insulated. That said, the drone at certain RPM/speeds from the TRD exhaust is way more present that I expected and pretty much entirely negates it.

 

Tiffany on her wrist.

 

I'm okay with sharing the color with a Rav4. The color is still unique, and most importantly, it's the same price as any other color. Now, my Audi has an exclusive color from the factory which they charge way more for. If they make that a factory color, we have a problem.

 

Love your new toy! I found that using a different tire coating, specifically Griot's Black Satin, made the tires look so much better than the shiny stuff I used on my pickup. Too much flat black on it to blend with shiny.

 

The MGM Pro that I was going to see today sold about an hour before I was due to arrive. Four days on the lot!

 

Ugh, that thing is AWFUL!! You should definitely sell it to me at a deep discount asap.
