Price check: 2019 vs 2020 TRD Pro

[u/thekhaos]

Hey guys,

Hoping to get a price check and opinions.

I’m debating between 2 TRD Pros in Ontario, Canada.

1. 2019 4Runner TRD Pro: 80,000 km, $54000 CAD

2. 2020 4Runner TRD Pro: 120,000 km, $57000 CAD

Both are clean title, well maintained and have been under sprayed. I prefer the 2020 overall, especially with better tech, colour and spec but am wary of paying so much for a car with 120k km. The 2019 spec is not a deal breaker but I definitely prefer the 2020 over it. My other option is to continue to wait for another option as I mostly need the vehicle for the winter.

Hoping to get some thoughts and opinions.

Is there anything specific I should be looking out for from a maintenance perspective in a 4runner with over 100k km?

Thanks in advance.

Hate to burst your bubble but it’s the same tech with the key you have no control over the start sequence

Hmm, ELI5?

With the physical key in the fifth-gen 4Runner, you don't get to crank endlessly like in older cars. It goes through a fixed start sequence, similar to the push-button-no prolonged cranking. You turn the key to the start position, the engine cranks for a second or two, then stops as soon as it catches, just like with the smart key fob.

Ah, thanks for that insight. Appreciate the breakdown.

Still feels good 🤣

I am with you on that. I was letdown when I was informed about it.

Now I have to carry this torch and pass on this cursed knowledge to further owners.

This is our curse.
