What's the chatter on the 2018's?

like toyotatacomaTRD says, they are bolted onto the bottom of the box. They are standard up here in Canada, surprised they're optional down South.

 

Everyone doesn't get the D-rings on the frame rails?? I am not sure I have seen a taco that did not have them.

Even my 1st gen had tie down points at the front and rear of the bed.

 

18's are out on the east coast,, bought my 15 pro,, and my 17 pro here,,, both were the 1st ones they got ...

Saw the "new" Cement in the wild today...

 

Psh no premium package

 

Damn, that truck looks good for it's age...!!
Around here, it would look like this by now.... Look closely...can you see it..?

 

If the new Pro (and now OR) cement were that dark, I'd be all about it. The current cement color is too light for my taste. In some lights it looks like a dingy white.

 

No dealership would pay their car salesman the $5000 mark up above MSRP. That is for their own pocket.
Dealerships don't stay in business selling new cars. They make their largest profit from selling traded in used cars, dealer service/maintenance, parts sales, and dealer add ons at the time of purchase of either new or used cars.

Tacking on an additional $5000 over MSRP is most certainly considered greed. Anyone willing to pay that price is desperate for that vehicle, stupid, or both.

 

Didn’t know it was that bad

I thought it was $60k or so

 

Yea, it's always a good idea to pay more than you have to. I mean, who doesn't enjoy that?

 

Soooo...... Any additional chatter on the 2018's, or should we close this thread and open a, "Feeling Sorry for Salespeople" thread?

 

Check out the sweet D-ring one this Pro. “Gently steers thread back on track”

 

I completely understand that. Extra 10k though is a little overkill...if i go to build a trd off road with the options i want...it comes to around 3k less than a pro...I'm not stupid enough to pay markup though.

Damn, that's a nice "D" ring... I don't have 1 of those.... where do I get 1 of those..?? Duh-Yuk...!!

 

Let me reprint what I said.

"No dealership would pay their car salesman the $5000 mark up above MSRP. That is for their own pocket.
Dealerships don't stay in business selling new cars. They make their largest profit from selling traded in used cars, dealer service/maintenance, parts sales, and dealer add ons at the time of purchase of either new or used cars.

So, in a nut shell for you.

The dealer makes most of it's money on the sales of used cars, dealer service/maintenance, parts sales, and dealer add ons, NOT on the sales of new cars.
On new cars sales, they make money from anything above their perceived invoice price to MSRP, dealer holdback/kickbacks from the manufacturer, and any other dealer incentives from the manufacturer that WE don't get to see.

The dealership will not tank if they do not mark up the price above MSRP. At this point it is just greed praying on the desperate.

Please keep politics out of this forum. It is not acceptable.

 

I agree. This is getting ridiculous.

I'm done discussing this with him.
