Allocations for 2025 4Runner are here! Delivery begins 1st half of February 2025

Almost 4 grand in unselected and unskippable trash add ons from the port and the dealer.

This is why Toyota hasn't gotten me to buy a new vehicle from them in years. It just keeps getting worse and they don't care. My last couple were new, but I'll 100% go back to buying used because of this.

Dealers do have some say on what PIO get added to their allocations. In early 2022, my brother wanted to buy a Highlander. They looked at the allocations and found the trim and color he wanted. It was early enough that they were able to drop the nonsense PIO and added a hitch for him. It was all done at the "port". Most dealers don't care enough to change them, though. The nonsense PIOs add profit and it is more than the bare minimum work. They want that profit and if you don't buy it, someone else will.

What does it really mean "done at the port"? Toyota has full service garages at every port to install accessories?

Toyota makes great vehicles but at $50+k, the vehicle has to come exactly how I want it - it's non negotiable.

That's why we've gone with other brands that allow custom factory orders.

Yep. The 5th gen 4Runner Pros arrived to port with steel wheels and standard suspension. Steelies and stock bits are scrapped and the pro wheels, fox suspension, and a few other things get added once the vehicle is on this side of the planet.
