KAuss 01-14-2005, 12:39 PM Well, with 3500 a year, how limited is it compared to other limited cars?
For all I know, the GT-R Z Tune is like limited to 20 EVER http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif at 170K a pop, that probably net more income than 3500 XRs in a year LOL....
But yeah, what is the ballpark on what other vehicle is limited to such a number? How many SRs are out a year?
3500 was never "too" limiting IMO... Still fairly easy to get your hands on one... Would be cool if it was limited to 1000 / year... Resale through the roof...
Kgrgunman 01-14-2005, 01:33 PM the S-runner was suspose to be limited to 3,000 a year, however toyota did not sell as many S-runners as they expected, so after the first year the made a big drop in production, still no one's sure how many S-runners were made, high #'s say 200 a month (so 2,400 a year for 4 years = 9,600 made) and low #'s say around 4,000 were made between 01-04. but no one has any solid #'s.
KAuss 01-14-2005, 01:40 PM How about other makes / models? Anyone have another car / truck that has limited production close to 3500?
I don't see many SRs... That basically has nothing to do with production tho... It's just a well kept secret... I didn't even know what they're capapble of until I came here, but I did know of them...
Just 3500 isn't as limiting as I would think... Hopefully not much will change and they'll hold the production lower next year because they'll have initial stock already... Resale is going to be buetiful with lower production numbers http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
8ate8 01-14-2005, 02:36 PM Other cars? The 1990 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe 35th Anniversary model there were only 3371 produced. A low mileage one with all the factory goodies (car cover, medallion, pen, etc.) will fetch close to 8 or 9 grand if its in mint condition. Even the 1995 5-speed SC's fetch close to 5 or 6 grand. Only 574 of those. SCs were about $23K new, same as our X's.
This isn't to say that in 15 years these trucks will be worth 8 or 9K. An average condition average mileage 35th Anniversary can be bought for as little as 1500-2000 depending on how beat up it is. It all depends on what the public thinks about the vehicle and what they're willing to pay. 9/10 people haven't even heard of a Super Coupe, so to see one that's 15 years old asking $8K, no one wants it. A 15 year old Corvette, people know about. A 15 year old X-Runner? Who knows? http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Also another thing to take into consideration is how long will Toyota be making the X-Runner? 1 year? 5 years? 10 years? The less production years they do, the more likely the value is to hold on them. SCs were made from 89-95, with total production about 70,000 units (averaging 10,000 per year). The 1990 (largest run) had over 20,000 units produced that year and 1995 (smallest run) had 2,647. Obviously the lesser produced model years fetch a bit more money. Will Toyota decide that a lot of people love the X-Runner and make more in coming years? 5000 units? 10,000 units? They're all deciding factors.
Sorry for my boring lecture on Super Coupes http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
R1Alvin 01-14-2005, 02:42 PM I get all kinds of recognition from random people in my X-runner--so I dont think public view of the X will be negative at all. Its a very WELL rounded truck--looks different--clean, fast and mean--and it IS! http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
8ate8 01-14-2005, 02:47 PM Yea but the point is people have heard of a Camry. People have heard of a Mustang. People have heard of a Tacoma. Have they heard of an X-Runner, or do they ask you where you got that snazzy body kit for your Tacoma? http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif There's people that still think my SC has a V8 in it.
lucia_blue_XR 03-22-2005, 06:26 AM Does anyone know the actuall production numbers? I heard that it was only going to be about 3400-3500. I also heard that they are only making the X-runners for one year? Hmmm....I honestly think that they're going to make it at least for another year or so...but if not...then YEAH I have a vehicle that is not common! But if anyone out there knows the actual production numbers please let me know because my friends think I'm full of it when I tell that I had a hard time getting mine and they are limited!!!! I looked all over the Toyota website for the info but nothing!

X-running 03-22-2005, 06:57 AM I believe 3500 is the right # it was in one of the motor trend magazines
Enola Gaia 03-22-2005, 07:19 AM If Toyota deals with the XR production numbers the same way they did with the SR numbers, you may never know...
We've been trying for a long time to ascertain how many SR's were ever built. The most 'highly-placed' responses received to date (e.g., from management at NUMMI) were >>nothing<< and / or a statement that Toyota doesn't give out production figures for specific models.

izulow 03-22-2005, 12:43 PM From what I heard and read is that 3500 units per year for the X.Heck I think the production numbers for the X has already surpassed the S.

If they've built the 3500, I'd be pretty confident the XR total exceeds the number of all SR's ever built....
One of the few allegedly 'hard' pieces of data we ever found was a claim in a 2003 (?) industry article that claimed Toyota had only sold something like 200 SR's in all of 2002 (second year of production)....

i would suspect initial production release numbers for the X was much higher than for the SR.
many people could not buy an SR, because there were none. it took 6 months to find mine.
however, there is 2 XR's sitting at the local dealer right now.
my friend was one of the first people to get an XR. he is one of the people who coulddnt find an SR.

p8ntballa04 03-22-2005, 08:51 PM I wanted an SR when they came out in 01, but I couldn't find one in the CA, NV, CO, NM, or AZ area at that time. Oh well, i'm glad I waited and got my X!!! I think they look 10x better.

[/QUOTE]
i agree with dave, toyota has put much more marketing effort into the x runner compared to the S. i initially found out about the S by looking in tacoma brochure after my brother purchased a double cab. otherwise i would have never known about it. there was little advertising on toyotas behalf to raise awarness of the srunner, even the dealrships dont have a clue regarding the "s." i live in socal and i looked around for months until i finally an "s" at toyota of Riverside.
Enola Gaia 03-23-2005, 05:03 AM ... many people could not buy an SR, because there were none. it took 6 months to find mine. ...
It was worse than that... Because of Toyota's allocation scheme, those of us living in some sales regions (like here in the North Central area) were simply told 'no way'. I went looking for an SR 'cause I demanded 2WD + V6 + manual. In 2003 I had 3 dealers tell me 'no way' and give up on a certain sale. After reviewing the specs for the new '05's, I decided I'd really rather have an '04 (at least as of '04). I doubled the number of dealers (to 6) and made clear I was prepared to pay hard cash for one - period... All 6 gave up. With the production run coming to a close (late April '04) I ended up locating one in another sales region (Warner-Robins GA), closed the deal over the 'Net, and flew down to pick it up.
Even if you were beating down their doors to get an SR, it was a major PITA to come up with one..... http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif
To this day I still don't understand why Toyota seemed so determined to never advertise the SR's existence and to keep it so hard to obtain (outside FL and CA).

being in so cal. this is weird to me. around where i live i've seen no less then 5 S-runners, 3 red and 2 black, 4 of them used as gardning driven by mexicans at 20MPH below the speed limit and 1 of them was a pool guy. all 5 looked bone stock, so i see S-runners all the time but the only time i see modded S-runners are at CT meets. but i've also seen 2 X-runners (not counting my own) in my area, 1 blue and 1 red and i have a black one, so the X-runners are a little more rare then S-runners, atleast around the palm springs area.
8ate8 03-23-2005, 08:25 PM Because of Toyota's allocation scheme, those of us living in some sales regions (like here in the North Central area) were simply told 'no way'.
I was told by several dealerships near me that no Xs would be distributed in this area. Thankfully one of the dealerships said they could just place an order for an X and all I would have to do is wait, which I did http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
As for having hard cash and them still not putting forth an effort for the truck, that I don't understand. Couldn't they do the same they did with my X? Just place an order through toyota? Or even just find another dealership that had one in stock?

In most sales regions, things work according to a massive allocation scheme. Allocations are based (in part) on past sales and projected demands (based on experience). Dealerships will go looking for a model elsewhere, but not outside their own region. If none of a given model are allocated for a region, the dealer can ***try*** to order one from national supply. If they do so, it basically dings the dealership... They don't get the benefit of an extra sale, because they in effect lose one off their regular allocation because of the special order....
...That's sounds both surreal and stupid, but that's exactly how 3 sales managers (not floor salesmen - sales managers...) explained the situation to me a year ago. Not only did they find it impossible to get an SR, it would have negatively affected their numbers if they had...
Toyota flowed the vast majority of all SR's to California and the Southeast Region (which is its own separate kingdom) - almost entirely to Florida. Mine was allocated to a dealer in Tampa. The Georgia dealership swapped it in 'cause I didn't want the red SR on their lot.

I must of made a good impression then http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I talked to a salesman and let him know I wanted an X, and he went to go get the sales mananger. He said "basically all we can do is place an order and wait for it to come in and when it does, you get it."
I think it was also due in part that they wanted to get one in and see it. My salesman said they got to ride in an X at Englishtown when Toyota was going round the country or something.
Enola Gaia 03-24-2005, 05:31 AM I think the difference is at the national level... When they introduced the '05's, Toyota rolled out the XR first, front-and-center, as a flagship model. They never did that with the S, which was always the "weird child locked in the basement" model in the Tacoma lineup.
In other words, I'm guessing Toyota's finally made a commitment to the sport model such that it's widely available through their sales channel allocation scheme. I'm willing to bet that if I started the same process I did last year (only seeking an XR rather than an SR) I'd get one pretty easily.
MountainBiker 03-24-2005, 09:11 AM You can special order any Toyota at any dealer! The vehicle will be built to your spec, and it comes directly from the manufacturing plant designated for you personally. If the dealer won't special order, talk to a different salesman, or go to a different dealer. If anyone says it can't be done, they are either ignorant, or don't want to mess with you, since you will have about 2-3 months to change your mind, robbing them of commission.
I had to place a special order to get ABS on my 2002, since there were zero 2.4 L trucks originally built with ABS that year, unless special ordered.
Enola Gaia 03-24-2005, 09:52 AM You can try, but that's about all.... Special orders have a negative impact on the sales department's allocation. And there are some features which Toyota absolutely will not accept special orders for, even if they're simply re-combining features that are available throughout the model line.
If you seriously want to try and get something special, your best move is to avoid the local dealer's sales department and go straight to their fleet manager (if they have one). Toyota's fleet sales setup is much more amenable to special ordering.
It's important to understand that Toyota's model for production is based on extremely 'lean and mean' manufacturing of a few standard models and packages. Their system is very efficient in some ways, but it is not well configured for flexible build order shenanigans, for which the Big 3 are much more accommodating.
This is why Toyota is one of the most frustrating manufacturers to deal with if you want something special....
daveds50 03-24-2005, 10:17 AM You can special order any Toyota at any dealer!
about month #2 of my search, thats what i was thinking. was told no can do for SR. i even told them i would take a Pre-Runner with a V6 5 speed. again, no can do.
were they lying to me ? i dont know... but it sure was frustrating. frustrating enough to where i was seriously considering the Chevy Xtreme or another Nissan.... glad i diddnt do it though.

Not entirely true. In '99 when I bought my V6 manual X-cab (pre SR badging) I was originally looking for a regular cab V6 manual and no dealer would even try to special order that for me. jbo had the right idea, he just pieced one together for himself. http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif
2 tacomas 03-24-2005, 12:03 PM I have never seen an SRunner in Northern Virginia. I have already seen at least 3 XRunners here since December.
SRunner-CR 03-24-2005, 12:19 PM being in so cal. this is weird to me. around where i live i've seen no less then 5 S-runners, 3 red and 2 black, 4 of them used as gardning driven by mexicans at 20MPH below the speed limit and 1 of them was a pool guy. all 5 looked bone stock, so i see S-runners all the time but the only time i see modded S-runners are at CT meets. but i've also seen 2 X-runners (not counting my own) in my area, 1 blue and 1 red and i have a black one, so the X-runners are a little more rare then S-runners, atleast around the palm springs area.
When I went hunting for mine in 02' I finally ended up at Longo Toyota where I was told by a friend/salesman that they had about 4 or 5 SR's on the lot that they could not sell for the longest time, because a lot of the people did not want a lowered truck (like it's that low......please!). They ended up selling them for a crazy price like $16,000 or so. He said I missed it cause I would have gotten a good deal. This might explain why you see SR's used for gardening. Hey, if I just wanted a work truck and came upon an SR, not knowing anything about it, for that price, I'd take it. http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif
BTW: like many of you, it was a chore to finally get an SR and I only found out about it through toyota's website. Never new or heard about an SR. All my friends thought I was talking about a Pre-Runner.
MountainBiker 03-24-2005, 02:28 PM C'mon people! I didn't say you can any possible combination of parts!
What I said is true, you can special order. However, I now see I should have added what I thought was obvious: you can only choose the options that are stated as available for that model and trim level. So there is no way anyone could get a std cab S-Runner, or a 2.4L 4x4, or a stickshift pre-runner, since those were not available options (at least in the 2002 model year)
So for my 2.4L xtra cab, I could special order the paint and interior fabric, the ABS, power windows and door locks, wheels, etc. I could not order a V-6 for a non-SRunner, non-PreRunner 2wd truck, nor could I get power mirrors. Even though each of those things is a fairly simple bolt on, they are not available options.
About the sales quotas for the dealer. Don't take offense Enola, but I don't buy it, and it doesn't go along with what the sales manager (the guy the fleet manager works for) told me about special orders. If a dealer won't special order, then call Freeman Toyota in Santa Rosa, (707) 542-1791, because I know that they will happily take your special order. And I am not associated with Freeman, just a happy customer.
MountainBiker 03-24-2005, 02:39 PM I suppose there might be a few more restrictions on S-Runners and possibly X-Runners due to limited production runs. But aren't those things optionless anyway? I don't recall seeing any factory installed options available for the S anyway.
I'll modify what I said to say that you can special order anything that is in production. So you have to catch them before the model year changeover.
Enola Gaia 03-24-2005, 02:55 PM ... About the sales quotas for the dealer. Don't take offense Enola, but I don't buy it, and it doesn't go along with what the sales manager (the guy the fleet manager works for) told me about special orders. ...
Nobody ever said anything about 'quotas'... Dealerships receive their inventory off an allocation process at the sales region level, which in turn receive supply off an even larger allocation scheme. In my case, no SR's were 'allocated' for this region - period. To obtain an SR would have required trying to change the dealer's overall allocation. Since they didn't expect anyone else to be coming in looking for an SR, the last thing they wanted was to have Toyota national change their allocation to include something they didn't believe they could sell more than once.
... and that's the basic outline of what ***3*** sales managers at different dealerships told me 12 - 15 months ago.
...And putting in a 'special order' for a certain permutation of options is something _any_ dealer will do. Such requests rarely get back to NUMMI (where they would have to be entered as 'build orders'), and are usually satisfied by either swapping out with another dealership or by changing option packages (when possible) at the 'port' level (i.e., at the regional distribution points).

enola is right........i know alot of people in the toyota car world......theyll just wait until they can get ahold of what you want.....your not getting any special order...
MountainBiker 03-24-2005, 05:58 PM Well, mine was built to my order. I even knew the day it would come off the assembly line a couple weeks before it actually did. Maybe everything my dealer told me was BS (very possible). Maybe they got a lucky guess of the actual build date two weeks beforehand? Maybe things have changed at Toyota since 2002? http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif
I agree that there is the possibility for a person to wait for one to be built to match their needs. The dealer did try to match me up with current inventory in the US. He even looked at the planned builds at NUMMI. No 2.4L was ever going to be built with ABS. So a special build order was placed. He then went on to brag about how many special build orders they place every month, but I don't remember any numbers.

00yota4x4 04-03-2006, 08:39 AM I take that back..I saw one other on the road in my area...LOL it was on a toyota transport truck but have NO clue where it went. Sure wasnt in my area cause I have never seen it and that was last summer
RedXrunner 04-03-2006, 09:48 AM I've only seen a few but I know they're out there.
h0odrich 04-06-2006, 10:13 AM I have seen a couple here in houston maybe like 4 of them...i work at olive garden and in 1 week i seen 2 diff black x-runners and i talked to the guys but anyways there is a red one like mine at my friends apartment and he uses it for work...his bed is all scratch looks like he deals with paint..or something i dont know i was pissed it was all dirty and scratch...just wanted to punch him
savege 04-06-2006, 05:02 PM I hate when I see a truck just like mine. Do you guys get that feeling?
XSMOKiNSiDEWAYS 04-06-2006, 05:33 PM i just saw one in my rear view earlier today black like mine(but not dropped 3"s with a traction bar:evil:), i've seen it in my neighborhood before and i thought he might be on here so i was gonna say what up. right before the old man driving slowly because it was a school zone slooowly proceeded to cut me off. its cool though i thought his truck was pretty wack anyways. he was probably trying to get my attention by smashing his bed into my fender... :shrug:
if you are reading this, one of these will do chief :waytogo:
RedXrunner 04-06-2006, 08:23 PM Fill out your profile.
toysrunner 04-06-2006, 08:52 PM 4,500 per year 1,500 per color
rpmspeedyBlue 04-06-2006, 09:01 PM In my area I'm starting to see a lot more X-R driving around.
5 - speedwayblue
4 - black
2 - red
RedXrunner 04-06-2006, 09:31 PM 4,500 per year 1,500 per colorHow do you know this?
I was told it was only 3500 a year and the blue only gets 500 :shrug:
RedXrunner 04-11-2006, 01:20 PM Yea right there are like 150 blue ones on this site and the rest are black with a few reds mixed in lol.
h0odrich 04-11-2006, 01:22 PM i have a red one...in my area ive seen more blk and ive seen only 1 red and like 2 blue
Scratchy 04-11-2006, 10:19 PM I haven't seen any other XRs on the road in the Lower Mainland.
I checked 2 dealers before I bought mine. I got the only blue.
Now there is 1 black & 1 red left at each dealer.
Apparently they've been sitting on the lot since November...
Gumby 04-12-2006, 08:52 AM I was told the same thing but one good thing is the more x's the more aftermarket possibilities we have
Actually the more they make will not effect performance production... Remember our motor is also used in the pre runner's, 4x4's, 4 runners, Rav 4's and the FJ cruiser... I'm sure its used in other ones or will be soon.....
The more X runners out there might effect suspension upgrades available but even that I doubt considering the suspension is pretty consistent with other 2wd Tacoma's... the only thing that realy varies is the spring rate from ours to the 4cyl.
toysrunner 04-22-2006, 07:04 AM How do you know this? working at the dealership,and talking to the reps. the s-runners started out 1,200 red+ 1,200 black per year and only available in certain states. i had to wait 4 months, specail order. then the x-runner went up to 1,500 per color per year.available across the U.S.
ramsey422 10-11-2006, 10:49 AM I read somewhere that Toyota made 3500 xrunners for 2005. Does anyone know whats the # for 2006? Of all the Taco's out there and only 3500 runners worldwide, thats an exclusive club..:draggin:
Enola Gaia 10-11-2006, 11:00 AM As mentioned many times on CT - Toyota won't divulge production numbers for a specific sub-model (like the S-Runners or X-Runners). We've tried many times and many ways, but .... :doah:
The most specific claim posted at CT is in this thread:
http://www.customtacos.com/forum/showthread.php?t=67267
... which claims that 3,847 X-Runners (2005 + 2006) had been produced as of June 30, 2006.
ramsey422 10-11-2006, 11:11 AM Thanx Enola.. very intresting. I ve only had my x for about a month now and just signed up here the other day. thanx again..:draggin:

That's a production line 'build number', not a sequential model-specific 'production number' ...
5000XD 10-11-2006, 11:45 AM I wonder if the first 10 #s are still around, driving :)
vtechthis 10-11-2006, 11:46 AM That's a production line 'build number', not a sequential model-specific 'production number' ...
so enola is there any way yet figure out the production number on an x?
