2018s spotted!!! (I think)

Pretty sure i just seen a shipping truck with 2018 Tacoma’s on the 405 north in Irvine. I noticed that at least one truck had the redesigned chrome cheese grater grill.

 

Appears to be a 2017, but says 18.

That looks like a 2017 grill---dealership tricking you to come in and get a 2017 I think?

 

Yea, there is something fishy there.

 

Yep, especially if there's no price---def. shady

I see the conversation going:
You -Hi i'm here to look at the 2018 Tacomas i saw online.

Salesman- Oh, let me see what we can do---hmmm interesting it looks like we've already sold that but I can get you a great deal on a 2017 Tacoma. Are you interested?

You- Eat shit.

 

They're just using stock pics, a lot of dealers do this so they don't have to take pictures of EVERY car in inventory, they'll take a photo shoot every time a new model is released then just use those same pics for every other one that comes in in that color.

The VIN# on this ad is a 2018 VIN so I'm sure they're just using old stock pics. The truck is probably still in transit

 

Is it odd that you can't build a 2018 yet though?

 

Not really, Toyota usually doesn't let you build model on their website until the models are actually on the ground or maybe a few days ahead of time. The 2018 Tacoma's won't arrive until the end of this month or early December so I wouldn't expect the website to let you build them for another couple weeks. Just a guess though.

 

Probably more like this

You- I would like to see the 2018 Tacoma listed on the website.
Saleman- Sure, right this way sir.
You- That looks like a 2107.
Salesman- How can you tell, they didnt make any changes from 17 to 18.
You- O.k. Bye.

 

You forgot to say. Eat shit.

 

Was being safe!

 

Spotted these 2018’s but couldn’t confirm by looking at grill.
Anyways, pretty damn sure that’s a cement colored off road taco!!!!

 

Definitely looks like a cement!

 

Spotted in the wild! Very nice. That's definitely not a pro!

 

Was that this am? Pretty sure this is the same truck i saw lol

 

Yes! It was like 9 am ish on the north bound 5 in San Diego

 

Also, I’m still following the truck I’m gonna get out at whatever dealer he’s taking them to and buy one! We’re passing LA as we speak lol jk

 

Dude for sure same truck i saw bc i saw it around 10am in Irvine. There’s ur pic @pinochle !
