    For those with a 2012/13 Taco, did the dealership give you a leather case to keep the owner's manuals, registration, etc. in?

    I was given a yellow, paper, pocket folder with everything in it. It takes up half the glove box. I'd rather have a zippered one, but I don't see any online.

    Do any Toyota dealerships provide a nice case with new purchases or is a stack of manuals dumped in a paper folder pretty much standard?

    Thanks!

    My 2012 manuals came in a nice leathery thing that snaps closed.

    ETA: Now I just noticed that the case has a bad seam from the factory. I wonder if it's covered under warranty?

    It should have a black leather pouch that has magnetic clasps.

    Unless they put that in the category of the center console net that you can now have for 'a few bucks extra.' That would be really uncool.

    This is kind of a inside joke with my wife and I. She loves to tease me about my $35K (sticker price not what I paid) midsize truck and my cheap, sad, nearly worthless, little paper folders all the different owners manuals came in. lol

    Yes, my brand new 2013 Tacoma came with these pathetic paper envelope things to put all the different owners manuals in.

    My wife loves to tell everyone how the dealership sooooo proudly presented us with the keys then handed me, which she thought was a joke, my pathetic owners manual holders. And if telling everyone wasn't enough, she has to get them out and show everyone so they can get a good laugh.

    Yep, you would think with the amount of money we spend on these trucks that Toyota or the dealerships would throw in a nice case for the stack of manuals/paperwork. This is my first vehicle that didn't have a nice case to keep everything organized.

    Thanks Simon's Mom,
    Sure enough I just looked at my window sticker and I don't have the "DK Preferred Owner's Portfolio." I guess I'm not a preferred owner :eek:

    Strange how some vehicles have this and some don't. If it is a no charge option, you would think that Toyota would go ahead and at least include the case in all their TRD models....

    Oh well, next time I'm at the dealership for service, I'll see what they have to say.

    I got a fairly good plastic case with out a button closure and with Toyota's name on it. It is ok and identical with the ones that came with my 2003 and 2012 Camrys. Must be a regional thing.

    My '05 came with a nice black pleather case embossed with "toyota" on the flap that has a magnetic closure, with spots for the manuals/audio cd that describes features of the truck, a couple clear widows for the salesman's business card and a pen holder on the inside. On the back is a slot the size of a sheet of paper folded in half...perfect for ins and reg documents.
