You can take the ALSA bus from T4 to Toledo, about 1hr 30min, but it doesn't run very often, with the only departure showing at 09:30.
Other than that, you will have to go into the city (metro or bus) and catch the ALSA bus at PLAZA FERNANDEZ LADREDA, s/n (MADRID (PLAZA ELIPTICA).

It is easy to buy ticket ... but not necessarily the train you want. I took the 9:10am Avant train to Toledo using tickets I bought a week earlier. On the day of trip, I noticed all the morning trains to Toledo were sold out!

it would be impossible or risky to pre pay a ticket to Toledo for the ame morning you arrive. (IMO). There is a Renfe office in the airport terminals T1 and T4, so you may be able to speed up the process there when you land, asking for a train about an hour and a half later.. giving you time to get to the station and even have a coffee or snack at one of the numerous restaurants.

I'm adding my own thanks here for all the suggestions as I jumped into BHull's thread.
Bedar, I like your suggestion of the bus to the station, and
Lincasanova, getting the ticket at the airport sounds like the smartest thing to do.
Happy New Year everyone!

Actually, the airport upon arrival is a great place to get tickets for your trip as lines can be shorter. All tickets bought at a window DO have a small fee added to them, though. You can buy many tickets at a self serve kiosk .
if you are over 60, you may want to buy the 6E senior card to give you discounts on trains for tickets with more flexibility if you need to cancel. However, sometimes there are fares that are cheaper than the senior fare but be sure to ask. Card lasts for one year.
