    Thats not really the point here. Whats going on is the dealer is trying to sell whats almost a base model as a higher model. The average non tacomaworld ninja would not know the difference and in turn buy this tacoma assuming its a sport, and get ripped off.

    It's not part of the SR package. Only the TRD Sport package.

    They are responsible for truthfully advertising the product they are selling. No sticker required to advertise and sell a Sport as a Sport. Prominently using a photo of a sport sticker for a truck that isn't one is false advertising. True vs lie, right vs wrong, dealership vs stealership...pretty simple concept really.

    I realize that not every dealer is bad. Like you said they should check.
    And I might be wrong on this but I have not come across a long bed sport made in America.
    Everyone long bed sport I have seen has been made in Mexico.
    This truck was made in America

    I know the manager there. (It's where I bought my tacoma) and honestly, they're all really nice people. I will let the manager know tomorrow when they open so nobody gets burned.
