With the last few 2024 4Runners arriving at the dealerships, the question is starting to become apparent. Should you buy the last of the 5th Generation TRD Pro, or should you wait for the release of the 6th Generation 4Runner TRD Pro? I got a text from a good friend of mine that is a manager at an undisclosed Toyota dealership, and he told me that he is expecting the last TRD Pro of the '24 model year to arrive this week at their place. It is in the beautiful Underground color, and fresh off the boat from Japan. Super tempting, I know!
The price difference is going to play a huge difference for me, seeing as how the MSRP of the current generation 4Runner TRD Pro is around $55,000 to $56,000. From the best projections we can gather, it seems like the 2025 TRD Pro 4Runner will debut around $70,000 if all projections are correct. That means that in order to get the new 4Runner, it would have to be worth almost $15k more than the previous version, which is a very tough sell.
Now that the last of the brand new 4Runners of the 5th generation are slowly disappearing from lots, would you wait for a 6th Gen or pull the trigger and get the last of this amazing generation? I know for me personally, I loved my 5th gen 4Runner and will always have a soft spot for that model. I am also a huge fan of the new Gen, and cannot wait to see what the aftermarket does in support of it. A 2025 TRD Pro in Mudbath for me would be almost impossible to turn down, seeing as how the Quicksand was always one of my absolute favorite Pro colors. If I wait too long, then it looks like I'll have to wait until Spring or Summer of 2025 to hopefully get my hands on a new TRD Pro. What would you do?
