    The answer is yes. The chrome delete kit is $300 and it is not available for 9 months

    Lots, straight from the factory.
    Toyota, who didn’t argue or negotiate with the government, has already started production.
    GM and Ford are still fucking around not accomplishing shit.
    Where is Dodge?

    Makes me glad I bought a Toyota. Wife’s next vehicle will be a Toyota.

    Eh, idk, Ford’s deferring 3 months payments /AND/ paying for 3 month’s payments as well on their customers vehicles. Keep seeing the ads, and wishing Toyota did that too :)

    One is meant to help people at the company's expense, while the other one is meant to sell more trucks during a time where nobody is buying trucks. That's the difference.

    Scroll down to the customer financing part.


    • Customer Financing: Toyota Financial Services (TFS) and Lexus Financial Services (LFS) are providing payment relief options to customers who are affected by COVID-19. Affected lease and finance customers may be eligible to take advantage of finance contract payment extensions or lease deferred payments. TFS and LFS are also providing options to assist customers at or near the end of their lease who are impacted by the pandemic.

    Was wondering that too. Any TSBs for it? Also, what's the MPG hit? Increased in HP? Oh, almost forgot, what's the best LED to use with it? :rofl:

    Building vehicles that aren’t gonna sell doesn’t do much for them. They decided to jump on the face mask bandwagon because that way they can get government subsidies. All the mean while looking good to the public and their customers, using it as a marketing tool.

    Trump got tired of the BS from Ford and GM and signed off to activate the Defense National Act which forced Ford and GM to to retool ( which they offered to do ) and sell the ventilators at fair current market value. I'm not sure what Ford and GM were doing that irritated Trump though. Maybe it was over money?
