    I saw a couple of young Air Force Liutenant Pilots looking intently at it when I left. Those are the ones who have money and don't know how to use it yet.

    When i was looking (and this isnt as ridiculous as most of these) This one lot had a 3 or 400 charge for Pin striping (looks dumb imo) then i looked around and every damn car on the lot had this Pin striping, and they all had the extra charge for it.

    They don't necessarily want to sell these, at least not right away, it is just marketing. They put it out front or in the showroom and it drives people in to look at it, and then the salesmen will sell them on a different Tacoma or 4Runner or whatever it is, and act like they are getting a great deal because they got a few hundred under msrp when the truck they were looking at was 10k above msrp. If someone is willing to pay a huge markup they would be happy to sell this one, but most likely after some time with this one in the showroom they will want to change it up and do this to another vehicle, so they will sell this one to someone at a "huge discount".
    The salesmen may even sell customers who looked at the truck by telling them they will throw in the grille free or "cheap" (which they will claim is worth $1600) or something else along those lines.
    This truck is meant to make them money by driving other sales, not necessarily by trying to rip people off on just one truck. Much easier to do that in smaller amounts to everyone than just one person a huge amount.

    I'd laugh in their face for their inability to use proper grammar first of all. Then I would laugh in their face for the pricing.
