Great White Taco build

He’s selling it already!

 

I didn't respond to the guy yet

 

Toyota customer relations manager just called from the dealership. They still dont have an ETA. But I can drop off my truck to them, and get the loaner. It wont help with speeding things up though. And apparently this process could take 6 months.

@HomerTaco how long did it take from when your frame was ordered, to when the dealership had it in hand?

 

That's kinda shitty..

 

Yep. Agreed.

Its already been 2 months. They should have some sort of tracking on this, and especially since its such a big/essential part

 

They'll give you a loaner for 6 months..?

Matt

 

Yeh - a Highlander!

 

apparently.. I have some things to disconnect probably on thursday, and then Ill drop it off to them on Saturday. Getting tired of driving my beater.

@LocoLocal Im going to try to get a Taco or a 4runner

 

Jesus, 3+ days is considered a lot at my work

Then again the frame recall/situation is a little different

Matt

 

for a loaner? I just called Toyota Corporate, and they wont even see the bill for the loaner, until after the frame is swapped.

 

Yes, loaners are like gold here, we aren't like the dealers that have 100-200 loaners, we have 26...

I moved from Manassas to Seattle in a DCSB 1st gen and the smallest trailer Uhaul had with more stuff than you described earlier. You can do it!

 

@LocoLocal had them swap out a frame to use on his truck..

I have my 2019 Harley Softail Slim (may or may not take it), toolbox, 60" TV, and some random parts/tools. Im sure it will definitely fit in a 5x8 or 5x10.

I have never towed anything before, so Im not even sure. But I have faith. Still waiting on emails from these jobs. Hoping this week has better news. Today, I got news, just wasnt great news.

Another note, now off work and going home to wait for @Arcticelf to come by and check my living room/stairs to install hardwood on.

 

Im not counting on it

GD it. I guess ill get a loaner for that long. Probably going in to get the loaner on Saturday

 

What is this?? Should i buy?

 

Im not a fan of fancy beers, but I bought it. Brewed in Oregon. Guess its gotta be good.

@inesshell will know

 

That should definitely fit in one of the bigger trailers. And honestly, backing up a trailer is the only thing of difficulty. Most of the time, you won't notice any difference, except in your fuel economy.

 

I already get 200 miles to a tank. It should get less when towing then..

 

My 1st gen fully loaded and with a fully loaded trailer got between 9 and 13 depending on how bad the head winds were. It got 17-20 regularly.

Your truck has more ponies, but it's also all #EAF'd AF.

 

That stuff is aweful. You can simulate the effect by squirting some sirscha in a guinGuin
