    Sounds like the old padded bras switch a roo. Disclosure notice just lets you get away with plan BS.

    Nope, it's a bait-and-switch.

    First off - thanks for the all the info. I ordered my truck (OR double cab short bed MT) back in October. It's supposed to get here around 12/18. This is the third vehicle from the dealer in the last 4 years. Said they'll sell me the truck at $500 over invoice which they quoted as $35,066. So now I gotta know...

    So if your'e still offering can you please run VIN - 5TFCZ5AN3HX069004

    Welcome @stefanthetoyotaguy! I too work for a Toyota dealership. I work the other side though. I've been working the Toyota Service department off/on for just over 10 years now. I love my Toyotas and this forum is the best thing I've found. Lot's of cool peeps and info too!

    It's not even an Off-Road. It's an SR5 that they slapped a TRD Off-Road sticker on.

    Sounds like you got a good dealer out there! I'm seeing $34,896, a little better than $500 over :)

    Thank you sir.:thumbsup: The dealer the truck is coming from has always been good to work with. I'm guessing they might have a PDI cost that they might be covering with the other $170.

    They make SR5's with the Off Road Package. Basically a wheel and tire package.

    Oh, it's definitely a bait and switch by the dealer, but they have the ol' disclaimer to cover their ass. Most people don't know the difference, they just want the black rims.
