Canadian 3rd Gen Thread

is it possible that changing my tires to B.F.Goodrich All Terrain T/A® K02 265/65R17. So the same size as the original tires just bigger tread could have screwed up my odometer i just feel like it is climbing to fast?

 

door sill protector? wha

I got the all seasons but not carpet.
got the male part of the tow hitch but no ball.
door sill protector what's that?
Entune app doesn't work in Canada
block heater I think has to be installed in colder climates. but can be done way less expensive than what the dealer charges.

 

Got all seasons and carpeted mats, tongue and towing ball, sill protectors, no block heater (BC truck), Entune head unit but of course no Entune apps available from Canadian App Store.

 

Wouldn't argue with that and sound advice for those who travel into colder climates.

 

Anyone buy an AC trd OR auto? Any feed back would be appreciated. Was looking at a DCSB trd but can't get it in auto and wife won't go for manual.

 

I have AC TRD OR auto. The back seat is a pain, but the locker is awesome on the trail.

I wish we had DCSB autos, its so stupid that canadians get shafted.

That said its nice to have the full sized box.



We passed a '13 sport that couldnt get to this site

 

How does it drive on the hwy?

 

Get a new wife. Problem solved. ☺️

 

Yeah, easier said than done!

 

It drives great, the Sports are firmer on the road which some like, I prefer a softer ride, its why I ended up with the OR.

I would get less agressive tires though, I have Duratracs and they make me miss my winter set.

The stock OR tires are actually really quiet, I just wanted a true winter and a true off road tire.

 

Yeah I'll likely go for the AC trd OR. Anyone have any info on whether Toyota Canada will bring in different optioned models for 17 ?

 

Holy shit!!! I measured the distance from my front tire to mud flap on each side, and found there to be almost an inch in difference!! Ya think much of my shake issues AND rub issues is from this lol.
So castor is the word I use when I go into the dealership this Friday?
I'm going to get them to double check the fluids and U Joints as well, and confirm I don't have a bad tire, because I thought much of my shake (more like a pulse) issue was coming from the back.

 

Wondering what kind of financing rates other Canadians are getting with 60,72 and 84 months? Had another member say they were offered 60 months 2.99%. Dealer I'm speaking with is saying 4.49% 84 months. What offers are you guys getting?

 

I didn't finance, but I asked about it and seem to think the number was about 4.5% for 60 months.

 

I was always told what ever it says on the website, that's what it is because Toyota Canada Financing is separate from the dealerships. I went 48 months with $35k down and even the 2.99% bugged me...hate paying over 1%

 

I know they can use alternatives to the TFS rates, they have access to bank loan rates. I wonder how low people have received. If someone here on the inside could also shed some light, I'm wondering if the people getting lower rates are because the dealership is buying down the rate, which would reduce any possible discount on the vehicle. If that's the case I'm not interested in the lower rate.

 

I thought my Tundra was bad. I drive mostly city, burbs to DT Calgary daily for work and my lifetime average is 16.3L/100kms.

 

Banks in the USA are offering below 3% over 60 months. That's what you might of heard. Their banking system is a bit of a shit show when it comes to lending rules and risk so they can grab lower rates. In Canada you will rarely see a bank beat a major financing arm of an auto manufacturer for rate. The only time I've seen someone pay less than 4% on a car loan from a major bank was if they rolled the loan into their mortgage... which isn't a great option for a lot of reasons.

 

No the 60 month's 2.99% was from another Canadian user on TW forums. I was a financial advisor for a major Canadian bank recently, our rates through the branch were not good at all, however dealers had access to much lower rates through our dealer finance centre. I've seen new car rates less than 1.5% through the dealer finance centre with the bank.

 

What kind of deal were you able to get in Toronto, and would you recommend the dealer?
