    2013 SR5; I am not entirely sure when they stopped using this style of wheels on the 5th Gen T4R, but I'm pretty sure I've seen T4Rs as old as 2010 with these wheels, and I believe that I might have seen a 2014 at a dealer with these wheels. After this weekend, I think I am going to stop taking pictures of all 5th Gen 4Runners that black, gray, silver, or white and not TRD PRO models; After spotting four white T4Rs at Peddler's Village in one day, I decided to take pictures of all four to show just how obnoxiously common they are. I would love to see a red, blue, or green one!

    In the parking lot directly across the street from where the white 2012 SR5 was parked, I found this white 2020 SR5!

    In the same parking lot as the white 2020 SR5, I found this nearly identical 2021 TRD Off-Road!

    I found this 2010 Limited at Peruzzi Toyota; I took pictures partially because I wanted to show how common boring colored T4Rs are, but mostly because this particular one has different wheels than other Limiteds I've seen. Most of the Limiteds I've seen seem to have these same wheels but accented in black or gray, while these just seem to be plain aluminum. If you look closely, you will also see that this 2010 Limited has a fresh PA emissions sticker that expires in April 2023, but a safety inspection sticker that expires at the end of this month (April 2022); This is a clear indication that this T4R passed emissions with flying colors but has something wrong with it that caused it to fail safety. This happens more often than you think, and for the stupidest reasons!

    :annoyed:

    According to Carfax, this T4R has about 160K miles on it, and it looks a bit worn but is far being the roughest 4Runner I've ever seen (I don't think I've seen a T4R newer than 4th Gen that I would classify as a "shitbox")...

    I found this 2002 T4R Limited at a mom-and-pop buy here pay here lot while out and about on Sunday; It appears to have been involved in a minor accident since the front left fender is of a slightly different color than the rest of the truck, and the interior is worn out, but some people might be shocked to know that this one of the nicer 3rd Gen 4Runners that I have seen recently. Like an idiot, I forgot to get the VIN when I was where, and the dealer's website does not give the VIN; I was going to run it through Carfax and see what I came up with, but obviously I can't right now. Current mileage is just over 195K; The frame is not perfect, but it didn't seem to be any rustier than one might expect for this area. If it weren't for the mismatched fender, I would personally think that this is a good deal; However, since this dealer doesn't list the VINs of any vehicles it has for sale, I'm a bit weary...

    Actually I would build that thing as a wheeler I didn't have to worry about dings and scratches and the occasional post panel cave in. Yeah...i can definitely see this being a fun project off road bomber

    This 2005 SR5 V8 was located at a dealership directly across Route 309 that I thought was a separate dealer, but according to the website, is part of the place selling the 3rd Gen seen above; The two front tires are flat, the inspection stickers expired in June 2021, and while it was in better shape than the 3rd Gen it didn't give the impression of having been well-maintained. Why would 4th Gen 4Runner with the V8 engine languish on a used car lot long enough for the tires to lose air and the inspection stickers to expire, in today's insane used market?!?!
