No Markup / No ADM Dealers @ MSRP Price for 2025 4Runner 6th Gen - List Them

[kzrman]

I bought my 1997 Toyota 4Runner new from Longo Toyota and it is still my daily driver. I plan I buying a new 2025 from them even though there are many Toyota dealers close to me. They were easy to work with back in the 90's and I decided to stick with them again for my new 4Runner.

I tried to place an order with Longo, but was told that they would not sell to a out of stater.
They said that they are trying to save there limited inventory for locals.

Yea Toyota issued this TSB (no recall) for the transmission issue:

That was issued months ago, so we shouldn't see any of the same issue on the 2025 4Runner transmission.

The issue arises when casting sand from the torque converter (TC) is not completely flushed out during manufacturing. These particles can lodge themselves into the shift solenoids, leading to the problem. This is why both the TC and the transmission are replaced. However, specific diagnostic codes must be triggered for the transmission to qualify for replacement. If these codes are not present, the issue is addressed differently—or, more accurately, not addressed at all.

Since the contamination is not consistent some trucks affected under the TSB are running fine, some are intermittent and some had complete failures resulting in complete replacement. The folks with intermittent issues are the ones getting screwed.

Finally, Toyota is not identifying affected trucks still on the lots and certainly not discounting them. They are only offering financing so everything is on the buyer. Any discounts are from the dealer.
