Dealer lifts

Red sport and white TRD ready for a home

 

I personally hesitate to buy those trucks that are lifted at the dealership. There often installed at an aftermarket shop. My Main concern is will the dealer still honor the warranty if there is issues caused by the lift. I talked to the parts manager at my local dealership here and he said the service department has nothing to do with the lifts sales does.

 

Dealer lifted trucks tend to be spacer lifts that they then charge 1000s for.... Nope nope nope

 

Also most dealers lift with blocks and spacers and market it up like it’s a set of Kings 2.5 under there.

 

Also the red one is a base model SR, not a sport.

 

Oh wow, a Toyota dealership is selling a Tacoma? Cool story bro!!! I’m gonna go tell all my friends and family.........

 

bought mine lifted (RC cross memberlift) we have in writing saying they will warranty the whole truck and all after market add ons up to 100k. then after 100k my lifetime warrenty only covers drive train.

 

You bought a pro with rough country parts on it?

 

And good luck getting the service department to do what sales says they'll do. In writing or not, they are there to find a way to not pay unless its blatantly obvious.

 

yes sir im an ultimate sinner.
Kept the fox shocks obviously. treated me right so far I wouldnt jump it but as far as florida swamps and trails ive never gotten stuck or broken anything (yet)

 

I’ve not ever noticed a modded new one there before, maybe something they just started

 

They are rarely done at independents in my experience because the shop guys work for $25 an hour while an independent will generally charge between 50-75% of their public rate. When I worked late shift, I used to do 2-3 Jeeps a week when they were flying out of the showroom around 2005. They will not be warrantied by anyone unless you get it in writing on the bill of sale. That little slip states that no other guarantees will be honored otherwise.

IMO if you aren't going to do your own work, they're not a bad deal if you negotiate properly. They know their cost on them so you can get quite a bit off when they've been sitting around a while.

 

Hard pass.
