To be honest, the more I look, the more I can't bear the aging 20-year-old 5th Gen platform... 🙂
I loved my 2016 5th gen the entire time I had it. I was quite content. When I saw the 6th gen, I knew it was time for a change for me, personally. Of course, other people have their own opinion and that's cool, but I do get a chuckle from reading some of the silly arguments some people make to try to convince others that the 6th gen is an epic failure already.

Yea, it really is a bit ridiculous. I had 3 different 5th gens and enjoyed them when I had them, but driving vehicles with 8 speed autos and turbos really made the 5th gen feel like a dinosaur when it was dropping down to 3rd gear to maintain speed on interstate hills. A charming dinosaur, but a dinosaur none the less.

And to think, just a month or so ago, a few people with supposedly insider knowledge said these won't start delivering until May or June or something like that. I think it was mostly 5th gen lovers that hate the new 6th gen that was spewing that information.
It's a TRD sport. Nobody cares. :p

Ok, just received an email from a Toyota dealer in SoCal saying that there's one 2025 SR5 4WD coming in soon, for $8k over MSRP. I'm looking for at least a hybrid 4WD.

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

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?
