At this point, is it dumb NOT to factory order?

Update, if anybody's curious.

Just got sent an invoice for a TRD Sport from a local dealer. MSRP $40,250.

Their quote? $45,500 BEFORE TTL.

 

I ordered a 2022 OR DCLB five weeks ago, I have it in writing from the dealer that the MSRP is the sale price, plus a $299 "administrative fee".

 

Time to expand your search area

 

What dealer did you go to? Only dealers in the Philadelphia area charging over MSRP are the extra scummy places most people already knew to avoid.

 

I know it sounds onerous, but flying to a city, ubering to the dealer, and driving back is very likely to cost you less than the $5k markup.

One thing to note, check your local DMV to figure out how titling is going to work and what that is going to cost. In VA, I had to pay roughly $2400 because OH doesn't charge sales tax. I saved by not paying sales tax initially, but in the end, I had to pay it just by a different name.

To clarify, I bought mine out of state because my local dealers all told me they couldn't get what I was looking for.

 

Are you willing to look in other areas? Or consider a different truck? That markup is bonkers.

 

Springfield Conicelli got me for $3000 over MSRP. But, they had exactly what I wanted and I needed it now.
