4Runners hold their value

Traded in a 2015 SR5 4 runner with 186k for this 2021 SR5 premium beauty. Dealer gave me 16k trade in. Used Costco program very happy.

 

Do you drive a lot for work? My dad bought a 2013 Honda Pilot new and put just shy of 100K on it in a little over 5 years...

 

Congrats on the new truck. Any issues in those 186k miles?

 

Yes, we both drive a lot to work.
It's my wifes, she drives around 30k a year, I'm around 40k in my Tacoma.

 

Absolutely none. Only thing it needed was a new windshield washer pump. Brakes lasted 150k miles.

This is her third 4runner. First one had 160k when we traded it in.

The build quality on these are amazing.

 

How did you get the brakes to last 150K miles? My original front brakes lasted like 31K miles and my rear brakes had about 84K on them when they got replaced.

 

I don't know. I guess my wife only uses the accelerator.

I had a Yaris three vehicles ago, and the brakes lasted to 160k on the rear and 175k on the front.

 

A lot of highway driving?

 

Yes, 90 miles to work.

 

My truck sees a lot of highway in the summer, but in the cooler months it’s mostly stop-and-go, and I’m hard on brakes...

 

@iltdi What do you mean used Costco program? Sweet looking rig!

 

16K is awesome for that many miles!

 

Costco has a auto buying service where you save around 10% from sticker price.

Plus there was a $500 rebate and $750 keep it wild savings.

 

Nice looking ride, I just started looking at them, so the ride begins.

 

When I sold my 2017 TRD Pro, I owed $31k, it had 35k miles on it, had a pretty good ding on the rear qtr panel and was going to need tires soon. Dealer gave me $39k for it in 2020. I had always heard T4R's hold their value, just couldn't believe how well!

 

That's phenomenal

 

Ya, except for the fact that it swayed me into selling the thing. i should have kept the T4R as it was much better than the Taco which replaced it

 

Can't beat the Japanese build quality on the 4runner.

 

You got a very good deal from that dealer. How much you put on top of 16K for this beauty?

 

Nothing else, just the $16k
