    Try to search for pics, found some. But none seemed to address my issue. Can the moonroof be opened and close with the roof rack employed and ready for action?

    Or do the crossbars need to be stowed?

    Moonroof slides into the roof of the truck, not above. Nothing on top will interfere with it.

    You just have all the answer's. Says due to port Dec 19th. How did you get that date? I'm wondering if the sport, double cab, longbed, jbl, has been put on hold.

    I have seen off roads in the same configuration available, but not the sport. Have also seen plenty of limiteds available, short box of course.

    Wondering if toyota thinks the sport is a lower demand vehicle?

    My wife's Prius and my sister-in-law's Camry each have a moonroof, and they both retract into the roof. Looked at pics of the open sunroof, and it looks the same. The one in the Taco looks identical.

    My salesman said the order/allocation system is showing a port date of the 19th. It was explained that Toyota pre-determines quarterly what percentage #s of the various configurations are going to be built, and then the regions get percentages of those (some get off better than others). That was why I had to wait so long for my build - my region's allocated percentage wasn't as great as demand.

    Tempted to go with an offroad, but I will never use the locker, and I am on road way more than off. My wife hates the hood scoop. I kinda dig it. Especially since it looks functional.

    Can't get used to the black flares on the off road. Looks like an entry level ranger, or dakota. That being said the raptor rocks em. Just not my style

    Wish I could get a confirmation. Hate to think it will be next year
