    Check the turn signal fluid.
    Seriously, check transmission fluid.

    I was lucky, mine was delivered the day I arrived. Had them pit it on the rack and go through it. Still don't trust what they said. Bunch of lies, and blaaa, blaaa, blaaa. Took it home and went over it my self again. Good luck.

    I think there was an equation for this. Something like: (lift in inches * 10) + tire diameter + (5 pts ea. for aftermarket CAI/exhaust) + (20 * number of lattes in truck). Subtract 10 points for actual mud on the truck. Add 10 bonus points for parking at the mall

    Actually not really. The bumper looks slightly off on one side but when I actually measured it it was just the bumper that was off. Not worth risking the dealer making things worse.

    PA doesn't require a front license plate, so I specifically told my salesman that I didn't want the front plat bracket installed prior to delivery (when I test drove he truck it was in the back seat).

    Well guess what . . . ??? I get there and the plate bracket was installed.

    I made them swap the front bumper with another truck on the lot that didn't have holes drilled in it or I told them ill gladly go to another dealer that knows how to follow freaking directions.

    They did it while I was signing the paperwork.

    So if your state doesn't have a front plate and you don't want the holes drilled in the bumper be sure to tell them up front.

    My truck came with carpet mats inside wrapped in clear plastic. two days later, i wanted the all weather mats Toyota had instead, and never used my carpet mats. They added $290 to my price tag for those carpets -- i wish i knew then that I could've denied their carpets before purchase. Many of the throw in's they charge you, so know what to accept and refuse. If you plan to use after market mats or OEM all weather mats (which is what I have), you could save some money by not buying their carpet mats. Somethings were already added to my truck like that. I did appreciate the TRD exhaust tip, extra D rings in the bed.
