Why is it so hard to find 4x4 DC Long Box?

I drove out of state to get the truck and price I wanted. Get what you want the first time. No need for regrets. BTW, TRD DCLB FTW!

 

Oh yeah, make sure you get the color you want aswell. They come out with new colors every year.

 

I had the same problem in Colorado .. No dclb so I order it . Took 8 weeks. I paid $32,600 plus tax for 2014 dclb trd sport with every option .

 

Sales Tax is based on where you live not where you buy the vehicle. Pretty sure same goes for Registration.

Just get a loan for the total amount from your bank of choice and go get it.

If you're planning on modding save the few thousand and dump it into something else. TRD Sport/SR5 have the same axle. Only difference is the seats and a few power outlets (you can buy these or put them in yourself)

 

South Eastern Pa, about 10 dealers, found 6, 100's of short beds.

 

I don't see many long box double cabs around here other than mine. I also rarely see a prerunner, though, probably because a RWD truck in New England in the winter is not ideal.

I agree with you. The DCLB is a bit obnoxious for a midsize truck and the difference in maneuverability is noticeable, but I didn't think the 5 ft bed was all that useful and I like having space in the cab.

 

You can't get a TRD Offroad DCLB , so no locker anyway

 

I may be wrong, but I thought I read that you can't get the locking rear diff in a DC long bed. You definitely can't get DC long bed with a 6 speed, I know because I tried.

 

You are correct on both counts

 

I have spent over a month trying to find the EXACT same thing and I am now waiting for the local dealer to get back to me tomorrow about a time frame on ordering. I never thought this set up would be so damn hard to find.

 

Yes you can. This is my friends truck. It's bad ass what he has done to it.

 

Um, A TRD Sport and a TRD Off Road aren't the same thing. The sticker on the side and the scoop SCREAM TRD Sport.

EDIT : Your earlier comment about a diff lock and a power outlet aren't all that right either. The diff lock is TRD Offroad only. And the Sport has the better seats IMHO.

 

I bought 5 vehicles out of state, 3 in Arizona and 2 in Nevada. I never paid the California sales Tax and I'm from Southern California.

 

I waited about 2 months for mine...also in so cal

 

TRD Sport doesn't have a locker unless it is put on aftermarket. This is a Sport. TRD Off-Road has a locker, but doesn't come as DCLB.

 

when I got my '04 in another part of the state it was based on my 6% sales tax. maybe out of state is different

are you "from" CA or do you "live" there?

 

What about a long bed -regular cab....now that'd be a rare find....

 

Once we agreed on price, my KS dealer sent a runner over to NE to trade a vehicle with their dealership. Didn't cost me anything additional for the service.

Long box of course is just on your preference/desires/functionality. If I'm doing any serious hauling, I get a trailer. Otherwise, I don't miss the extra space even after two house remodels, hauling carpet and lumber and flooring around in a short box. I got a vinyl camper top (soft topper/Besttop Supertop) for mine; it folds down and gets out of the way when I need it to, but still keeps cargo covered when I put it up. Best of both worlds...but yeah...those Leers are schweeeeeeeet, too.

 

got this one a couple months ago. 14 dclb 4x4 trd sport

 

Newsflash :

That's not a TRD Offroad
