Lunar Rock TRDP color discontinued

I visited my local Toyota dealership yesterday to check out the new TRDP color Lunar Rock and the sales person stated that the TRDP in Lunar Rock is only available to order through the end of September. She said Toyota decided that it wasn't a good fit for the TRDP. She said Toyota is going to continue the Army Green color.
I saw the color on a Rav 4 and it looks like a gray puddy or clay color. I'm not sure if it would look great on a 4 Runner TRDP, but if it's true that this color is not going to be offered after September then I suppose it would be a more limited edition color than many of the others.

 

Welcome to the forum.

Sounds like she was trying hard to sell you a new TRDP.

 

Yeah, your probably right.

 

I'm gonna call BS on this one.

 

I thought it was an odd statement by the sales person, but I figured I'd pass it on just in case.

 

I work in Toyota Sales and she is waaay full of BS. We haven't even gotten our first Lunar Rock Pro let alone them discontinuing them.

 

Thanks. I should probably delete the post.

 

Amazing what people say without any proof

 

Well now I can say I heard it in the internet, so it must be true.

 

I heard they're going to replace the color with Mars Rock.

 

This sales person is basically speaking for Toyota and she added that her manager received the email and she was only able to read it. I believed it when I left there because I had no real reason to doubt it at the moment.

 

No reason to doubt they discontinued a color that was just released?

Gotta do some research on your own before going to dealers.

 

Sales people don’t know anything. Never trust them, always do your own research.

 

Sounds like a bunch salesmen at CA. local gun shops, Spreading FUD.

 

Well, did you buy it?

 

I didn't like the color anyway so it didn't matter to me if she was correct or not. I don't know what kind of research could have been done regarding this issue.

 

Sad but true!

 

They have them
Coming I have a few dealerships I hit up for them
They are most likely coming in next month

 

Rounding Up Toyota’s Road-Ready Green Machines

Silver, white, black. Vivid red. Cool blue. We can all conduct our own studies on the most popular colors for cars just by looking around us. But what about green? While they may not be seen as often as silver, and as automakers focus on environmentally green vehicles, cars painted green haven’t gone away.

Toyota’s green color story began at its outset with the introduction of the Land Cruiser in the U.S. in 1958–the first Toyota to be popular in America–which came in a military-inspired olive green. Today, that spirit is still alive with TRD’s Army Green. From that early and only color choice, Toyota’s variety of greens grew and there are now five unique options available. Subtle, shimmery, bold and even otherworldly, Toyota’s green palette offers choices for customers, which is the driving force behind these wide-ranging options. Green is cool. Green is fun. And green engages the senses. There are even green “green” cars, as green shows up on hybrid models in the lineup.

Check out Toyota’s current lineup of greens below. Which one would you choose if you decided to “Go for Green?”

Lunar Rock



As the 2021 TRD Pro hero color, Lunar Rock is out of this world—literally. Inspired by magnesium-infused craters carved into the surface of the moon, this green is also down to earth, balancing the rugged requirements of the TRD lifestyle with the human call to look up towards the stars.

Hakone Green



Inspired by the views of the natural world visible from Japan’s Hakone Turnpike, Hakone Green is found in the forests that fringe the base of Mt. Fuji and the deep green cedar trees encircling the banks of nearby Lake Ashi, itself originally a crater. Make no mistake, though. This green, exclusive to the Toyota 86 Hakone Edition, is built for speed, offering Toyota’s take on the most iconic color on the track, British Racing Green.

Alumina Jade Metallic



On the western coast of Japan lies Itoigawa, one of the oldest jade-producing regions in the world. Alumina Jade Metallic mirrors the complex structure of this Japanese mineral. With roots deep in the Japanese culture, and across the globe, jade is considered mysterious and serves as a symbol of prosperity. On the Sienna, it expands the vision of van style and offers a standout profile. Plus, jade green is pleasing to the eye, which is why the mineral is a perennial in art and fashion.

Sea Glass Pearl



Sea glass is one of nature’s handiest metaphors. Sharp glass fragments, often from bottles, are worn smooth over time by pounding seas. Appearing as a light ocean green, sea glass reminds us that the elements, and experience, create beauty out of the ordinary. A staple color for the Prius, green connects the power and elegance of the environment with the human lives co-existing with it.

Army Green



We love a truck in uniform. As of the 2021 model year, this former TRD hero color is now a part of the general truck paint lineup. A robust military olive, Army Green symbolizes Toyota’s recognition of the men and women who serve in our nation’s armed forces. Since 2012, the company has supported Hiring Our Heroes, a program of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation that connects veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses with career opportunities. Toyota also offers military rebates to U.S. military personnel, household members of eligible U.S. military personnel (including Gold Star families), U.S. military retirees, and U.S. military veterans within two years of discharge.

 

That was published on 9/16/2020.

 

I didn't like the color anyway so it didn't matter to me if she was correct or not. I don't know what kind of research could have been done regarding this issue when I had no idea she was going to say that about the TRDP color.

 

There wasn't even a TRDP on the lot. She was showing me a TRD Off Road and I looked at the Lunar Rock color on a Rav 4. No I didn't order one in Lunar Rock.

 

Best way is to use Toyota official site and try to build it, it gives you all the options there. Don’t worry, we aren’t attacking you for not doing research, rather trying to help by advising to not rely on salespeople when choosing your car. And I agree, lunar rock color sucks!

 

Thanks. That's cool. I just stopped on a whim and wasn't planning on buying anything at that time. I didn't expect to hear what she told me about the new TRDP color so I thought this forum would be interested in hearing about it in case there was some merit to it. I'm doing actual research on this forum so I have a realistic idea of what owning and possibly modding a 4 Runner is like and the associated costs.

 

I'm a manager at a Toyota dealership and I can confirm that this was complete BS. The Lunar Rock will be produced through out the whole 2021 build cycle on the Pro. You will be able to get the Army green in the new Venture package. The Venture package is an SR5 that has the hood scoop, special cooler, blacked out badges, rack, rims and limited colors(Army & Cement).

 

Not to be a dick but for a manager thats a pretty bad way to describe the Venture.

Venture is actually more like a TRD ORP. Just my opinion.

 

You are correct my bad the Venture model 8669 is more like a TRD ORP. I meant to describe the Trail which is next years model that you can get the color in and that is a accurate description of a Trail model 8665. We don't have them on the lots yet, so my bad.

 

Agreed the Trail is the rebadged SR5

 

And a non-premium SR5 at that.

• No hood scoop
• Four colors available (Super White, Cement, Army Green and Black)
• Only available with Black/Graphite Fabric, no softex, no premium features
• No third row option
• Sliding cargo deck standard

Interesting decision for Toyota to make. I can see them selling a bunch of them though due to the Cement and Army Green colors.

 

I was hoping for Planet Claire Green, but apparently that's only available on Plymouth Satellites.
