New to TW; anyone else here from Lousyana

Boss!! I'm actually scheduled to go there (Lakeside) tomorrow to discuss Tundras and Tacomas. I'll test drive this if available. Good looking out, Dogdad!

 

Looks like they are slapping the '15 wheels on these (leftovers at port?).

 

It's missing the fender flares...

 

It's like a hybrid between SR5 and something else. Maybe just the fleet/demo is what they have. I'll find out tomorrow. And I kinda prefer these '15 wheels to the '16 model wheels. The '16s wheels just haven't grown on me, just yet.

 

It looks like the new TSS trim for gulf states only. I think it looks way better without flares

 

It also wouldn't surprise me if our local models differ from other States in some small ways. Gulf States Toyota is on a different plane of existence...

 

Mine just showed up at price leblanc

 

Nice! That's a first for the color. If you plan on doing any modding or want to share your opinions follow us at the WHYDTYTT thread

So it was you who they said ordered the same one as me, but earlier. I have to wait until at least oct. 15 they said. do you mind telling me a price? did they deal at all?

 

I havent negotiated yet. Im going in tomorrow

 

Sat in the silver one today I pictured in an earlier post from Lakeside Toyota. I thought it was ok, but it didn't whoo me enough to trade my 2015. Just a couple of things ...I didn't care for the brake handle in between the seats, has no "oh shit" grab handle for the driver side helping one get in and out of the truck. Less storage it seemed console wise. The glove box had a "shelf" in it. It does look better in person than pics though...

 

Was it available for test driving? I'm going tomorrow to LT and (hopefully) get a gander.

 

Absolutely...I just wanted to sit and check the inside. Someone had been test driving it before I got there...ask for Westly, an older gentleman in sales ..... he's a great guy.

 

Oops, I forgot to update on how everything went. It's been a month now, and I am loving my truck, however pretty much everything I had hoped would happen, didn't. I ended up going with Supreme Toyota in Hammond, as they offered me $2400 off and offered $1500 for my car and Price Leblanc was only selling at MSRP, and thats pretty much where my happy dealings with Supreme Toyota ended. They called me a week before delivery and raised the price $500 for supply and demand (still way cheaper than MSRP, so I said yes), then when the truck came in, they said they would only give my $500 for my car, which I was pissed about, but it is a salvage title, so it was truly worthless to the dealer, and it would need a little work (alternator and starter about to go out), if I wanted to sell it myself, and no one within 250 miles had the same truck that I ordered (I checked my self), so I reluctantly agreed, then I added the 8/125k mile warranty and gap coverage. oh and i was supposed to get $750 off for college grad financing through toyota, but I had to give that up b/c it is only if you finance 60 months, and I financed for 84. after everything was said and done, I believe it was a about $45500, and I financed about 40k. I was told bi weekly payments were an option through toyota, and find out that they are not, so as soon as I get my registration, I am refinancing. The real icing on the cake however, was that when I went to get my bed extender installed the following week, the sales guy asked if there was anything wrong with my old car b/c he was thinking about buying it for himself for a daily driver. So basically the cheaper he got my trade the cheaper he was able to buy it for himself. that was what truly ticked me off.

But its all said and done, and I have the exact 16 I wanted, and I have had absolutely no problems with it.

 

What happened to Fournette

 

I loathe LSU!! Always have, always will. Fournette pulled a Rousey... or Les Miles is (still) an idiot. I honestly don't follow college fb. What I do know is that whatever team plays LSU each week is my new favorite team for that week. LSBoo!!
