2025 4Runner Release Date: March 2025

[Scott2373]

If any car dealer has the brass cojones to tell you what you must buy (It's "mandatory"), remind them that it's NOT mandatory that you buy there, then turn around and walk away. They tend to become much more flexible after that. People forget that they have the money and options. The consumer (that's YOU) drives the market.

My dealer in Madison, WI sent me a note that they do not have any information on release date nor do they have any price information. They do NOT take any deposits until after this firms up and Toyota announces they are accepting dealership orders.

For those of you giving ANY money to dealers I think you're getting screwed out of interest earned etc.

Early on the dealers will drive the market, as there's going to way fewer vehicles available relative to demand. If you walk, the next customer will take the deal irrespective of cost. No question there will be premium pricing when the new model arrives. If you want to avoid the mark-ups it might be a while until supply and demand are balanced..

Way to go newbie (dealer). No they aren't. They will supply plenty to drive revenue and shareholder value. You don't limit supply to drive revenue. They will be more than profitable at MSRP and below.

Not initially.
There’s lists of people wanting the new 4R, and if the first guy doesn’t want it, they’ll go to the next. It’ll take a few months to get past the initial demand.
Example LC is just now catching up preexisting demands in Washington. Other areas may have more availability.

They are called "early adopters"...the 1%'ers which applies to any new shiny object, but it's not indicative of overall demand. And lots of people have said they are boycotting the 4 cyl engine already.
