    New old guy here in Sedona, AZ. I recently sold my 2007 Tacoma Sport 4x4 V6/AT double cab "long bed" that I bought new. The only problem I ever had with it was having to put gas in it every month or so. But it was time to move on. I spent the last month researching newer, low mileage 5th gen 4Runners nationally while they are still available.

    I finally jumped on a low mileage (1031 miles, to be exact) 2024 Limited, windchill pearl/redwood 4x4 at a dealership in North Dakota for $52,223 excluding tax and registration which will be paid down here. I hired an auto transport company and it was delivered here in Arizona at 12:30am earlier today (last night).

    I am an old retired guy with some mechanical abilities and spent a lot of time and money over the years building off-road trucks and motorcycles, but this one is for road trips around the Southwest and Rockies for my wife and me. I also have a C6 Corvette for fast fun and my wife has a Lexus NX200T. I expect to keep this truck for the rest of my life on the planet. I appreciate the knowledge and information here.

    Very nice score, i REALLY wanted a white Limited 4wd with redwood interior and was actively looking for one before i got sidetracked by the TRD Sport release in October 2022.
    If you want to take it offroad, it will go just about anywhere you are brave enough to point it towards. If you really want to make it stand out from the 2,000 other 4R in Sedona and Flagstaff you can put a mild lift on the front to pick the front end up and put a semi-beefy set of tires on it and it will still ride like a dream. I have built a few Limited models and really really enjoy them. Lift, tires, small subtle touches and they are my favorite.

    Welcome from the Valley! What did the transport run you? I'm thinking of doing the same.

    $1465 on an open transport from Minot, ND to Sedona (1500 miles), including a $150 premium for it riding on top to avoid rock chips and oil drips and other stuff falling off vehicles above it. It took three days.
