Any ideas how much a lease on a 2010 4runner will be? Someone on a previous thread mentioned that Toyota might upgrade the residuals on the new 4runner given the strong used car market and history of strong resale value, meaning there ought to be some good lease deals. Anyone else have any updates on this?

Replying to: pradodriver (Oct 23, 2009 10:50 am)  I paid less than $400/month for my last 2 4runners both leased for 3 years, no money down with 15K miles/year. I priced out a 2010, the limited came to $690 and the SR5 with leather just over $600......yikes! The dealer was even giving me about $2K off sticker on each. So now I am stuck waiting until I can buy one or until lease prices come down. For poops & grins, I even priced out a 2010 Lexus RX350(List price about $43K), and it was cheaper. I dont see lease prices being as affordable as they used to with banks still fighting the economical issues.

I want to buy a new 4Runner. Has anyone started negotiating with a dealer on price? I'm either going to order one or buy one when they arrive. Still waiting to hear about allocations in my area.

I definitely dont want to guess beforehand. We will have a white 2wd Limited here to look at on Tuesday (Nov. 3).... However, we may have our inbound stock unit here by then too! It is at the Vehicle Processing Center and may land by this weekend; if not, it should be here Monday or Tuesday. I hope I've been of some help!

I visited a northern WI dealer and was told the 2010 4-runner trail can only be purchased by special order. None will be sitting on the lot. Forget seeing/driving one. This came in a memo from Toyota according to the salesman.

Replying to: jeffo7 (Oct 29, 2009 10:21 am) I dont know about other regions, but right now there are no Trail 4Runners allocated to any dealers in Gulf States Toyota, only SR5 and Limited 4Runners. When they do come out, I would imagine that dealers will want to get them just as badly as customers. |

Well folks, here is the latest as promised. I schedule a visit at a dealership in MD on 26 Oct to see the new 4Runner (Limited model). A Toyota district rep was bringing one by for the dealer to look at. Surprisingly, they let me take it for a long test drive! First of all, the vehicle looks much better in person than it does in the pictures. Yes, it is more "box" shaped than recent models but it has nice lines and the interior is much better, and well equipped. Even though the overall dimensions of the vehicle increased slightly, the interior seems much larger (i.e., more hip, shoulder, and leg room, although the head room seems unchanged. The seat is the same size / design and still offers very little thigh support (for tall people like me) but it is a bit more comfortable that the previous models. Handling was good on road, through corners and it feels excellent on rough streets well (obviously, I wasn't able to take it off-road). Wind noise has been reduced considerably. My biggest complaint though was the engine power. I currently have a 2004 4Runner Limited and the new model seems to have much less "pick-up" than my model, even though the horsepower has supposedly been increased for 2010. I don't think Toyota compensated enough in horsepower on the new model for the increase in weigh. To put it bluntly, it accelerated like a tired "dog". It felt like I was pulling a 5000 lb trailer. The lack of sufficient power alone was enough for me to make up my mind immediately... I was not going to buy one (even though I have been looking forward to "upgrading" to the new model for months)! I was VERY disappointed : ( Toyota, I think you blew it "big time" on your selection of the engine and by eliminating the V8 as an option.
