Allocations for 2025 4Runner are here! Delivery begins early February 2025

That's ridiculous, given that the SR5 4WD MSRP is $42k.

Anyone know why this price sheet has what normally are the DIO (dealer installed options) labelled as LIO? Is there a difference between DIO and LIO?

LIO = distributor installed option
DIO = Dealer Installed Option
PIO = Port Installed Option
FIO = Factory Installed Option

 

[4R Platinum or Die Trying]

Thanks, Henry. I understand FIO (Japan). I understand PIO (someplace like Jacksonville for me in Florida). I understand DIO (my local dealer). Still a little unsure of LIO? Exactly where are the LIO's being installed at?

I just posted this explanation of PIO, DIO, LIO, FIO options as well as what happens at the "Ports"

DIO, PIO, LIO, FIO, GST, SET definitions. "Ports" = vehicle distribution / processing centers

Hope that helps explain

Anyone put down deposit / reservation on an actual allocated 2025 4Runner yet?

 

[mars001]

I doubt deposit or reservation matters. The dealer can come back and say "it's $10k over MSRP, do you want it? If not, we'll go to the next person". I didn't think any dealer promised to sell at MSRP in writing. Putting down a deposit or reservation is solely for the benefit of the dealers. Now they know they have a long list of potential buyers. They would be stupid to sell at MSRP with that long list on their hands. Just IMHO.

All local dealers around me have agreed to no dealer markup or add-ons over MSRP. Get them to agree to it with your pre-order.

But... did they put that in writing or just said it verbally? A few dealers around SoCal are happy to take my deposit but they wouldn't commit to writing that down.

Depending on the dealer, they either wrote or typed it on the purchase contract. I'm in the midwest but I would try for it. There will be big demand to start I think, but that will fade toward the end of summer as supply perhaps surpassed demand. We will see.

Yes! No.... put a deposit down last spring for a new rav4, but when the wife saw the 4runner I called the dealer a month ago, told them to put me down for a trd pro or platinum. Lexington Toyota in mass, it's everywhere- 'we don't charge over msrp`

Not sure if any dealers are willing to write that down on a deposit receipt / acknowledgement. Anyone been able to get no-markup / MSRP guaranteed in writing?

My dealer is purely MSRP. That's what you're going to pay, and they will not drop prices towards invoice etc. unless it has been on the lot for a while.

Nice! Love the dealers that openly advertise a no-price-markup policy.

I was speaking more about the ones that don't -- whether anyone has gotten those dealers to ever acknowledge in writing on a deposit receipt / slip that the sale will be at MSRP.

 

[BG1]

I'm wondering what the test drive policy will be. With so few vehicles available initially, the first allotment vehicles will either incur a lot of miles in test drives or if sold leave no vehicle to show customers...

So is anyone thinking, “life is too short” to wait forever? The Land Cruiser is so similar in performance and price to the high end Runners. In my moments of weakness I dream of going down to a Yota dealer and actually test driving a LC1958. It may be 2026 before my lotto number comes up for a Trailhunter at my local dealer. Why spend life in constant angst?
