newbie(almost) from Utah

hi all,

I say almost, because I am currently in the market for a 4Runner, so technically not an owner yet.

I am currently looking for:
NEW 2023 or 2024 Toyota 4Runner
(4WD or AWD, i am in Utah )

Trim:
#1 choice: TRD Off Road
#2 choice: TRD Off Road Premium
#3 choice: SR5 Premium

Color:
#1 choice: Solar Octane (I would love to get my hands on, SR5 premium does not offer this one)
#2 choice: Ice Cap
#3 choice: Classic Silver

I have been looking around and Checking: Autotrader.com, Cars.com, Cargurus.com as well as Toyota's own (https://www.toyota.com/search-inventory/).

I even went ahead and Ordered a G5 - TRD OFF Road in Solar Octane this past week at my local Toyota dealer ( Karl Malone Toyota). Sadly, was told, that I may not be able to get it . Supposedly, Toyota will be stopping the production of the current GEN5 in next few months and start the GEN6, therefore no more new GEN5s.

I wanted to ask the members here, where else can I look? or is there a member on the forum that perhaps works for Yota dealer who can help in my search?


Thank you all, I am excited to be a part of this giant community!

This is what I would love to be able to get:

 

Greetings!
Coming from a fellow newbie, you've made a wise choice. Been a Toyota owner all my life but just got me a black Yota 4Runner OR 2 weeks ago. Some people are excited for the Runner and GX new models but most are not. Get your hands on a 5th gen before the prices go up higher. I got mine off CarMax. $36k sticker price and only 31k miles. It's got a couple scratches inside and out but nothing I cant live with nor unable to fix later down the road.

 

Expand your search. I found the exact one you're looking for. It's still in Utah, but probably a longer drive for you:

Oh, and welcome aboard.

 

Welcome

 

Welcome

 

I think the one #BorrachoLoco found you checks all the boxes you’re looking for and maybe a couple extra. I’m watching my local Toyota stealership’s 4Runner inventory shrink daily. At this point in August of 2024, I would be locked and loaded ready to pull the trigger on any Solar Octane 4Runner you can find. Welcome to the forum, Alex!

 

thank you!,
as a matter of fact I was there this afternoon.
When I came on the lot, it already had a SOLD sticker on it

 

You need to move faster homie. But expand your circle and you'll find the exact one you want, but it may be out of state. There are tons of SloRunners just like you want in North Texas. I found a Solar ORP for $53k at a local dealer.

 

Welcome fellow Utahn. If you're willing to travel for a Solar Octane ORP, I might be able to help you get one at invoice. If you do buy from Utah, stay away from Karl Malone, Brent Brown, and Larry Miller. Mark Miller Toyota or Tony Divino will be your best bets.

 

hey you, are you able to do at invoice??? that would be awesome!

Already got my check refunded from Karl Malone, wow what an experience (i.e. not good) so I totally agree with you there.
I went to LHM Toyota Murray this afternoon and they had the exact one I like! -- spot on. But, as I mentioned above, got sold literally an hour ago. It had the SOLD sticker on the windshield. They were very nice and appeared very helpful, sales guy Isaac was very kind and kind of just listened.

So Mark Miller or Tony Divino? Any particular reason? (I am not against it, just wondering)

Let's connect -- is there a DM option here?

 

Click that "Start a conversation" link, that will direct message him and y'all can chat it up.

 

thank you @Borracho Loco ! -- clearly a novice

 

Welcome from Wisconsin! Solar Octane = awesome color.

 

Welcome from AZ!

 

Welcome from SoCal

Hope you find what you’re looking for

 

I also have a deposit on a TRD Pro in transit at karl malone, but sales team gives me the feeling of a rugpull markup when it arrives. currently in transit eta 10/1.

looking for lead on a TRD ORP or PRO. slc, utah.

 

Welcome and good luck with your search. My understanding is that all production has finished for the 5th gen. I recommend expanding your search out of state if possible. For my current 4runner and previous Taco I flew out and made a mini-vacation out of driving it back. If you have the dough, you can always have it shipped via carrier to your door.

 

Solar Octane. I test drove an Off Road and the color is nice even though I typically don’t like bright colors for trucks

 

Welcome depending on who you believe Toyota already discontinued the 5th gen production which makes sense because October is usually when the next year 4Runners have been hitting the American dealer lots every year

 

Welcome to a great forum and hope you get what you are looking for.

 

I joined just over a year ago because I was searching for a 4Runner. I'm still looking. I see quite a few but haven't pulled the trigger even though I know it's what I want. Good luck! Great choice!
