Tacoma Stalking, er...uh, Spotting, with Charlie™ (3rd Gen Edition)!

Any rubbing?

 

Only on speed bumps at the mall.

 

When's he gonna downsize his tires???

 

If it were my truck, I wouldn't have done it, but I what I should have said is that it turned out better than I thought; When I hear that my uncle lowered his truck, I initially cringed...

If this were my truck, I'd leave it at stock height and add TRD Off-Road wheels!

 

Another one I found at Thompson Toyota today; Cool-looking truck, maybe until you look closely and realize that it's a base model with about $13K in add-ons...

Saw this one in the grocery store parking lot a short time later...

Pass!

 

@shakerhood

These are not OEM, correct?

 

Speak of the devil; Just tagged you!

 

Correct, someone sells those badges.

 

Agreed; They should have done it to an SR5 or a TRD Sport...

This same dealer gave a base 2021 DCSB a "Back to the Future" look earlier this year and it seems like it sat on the lot for a couple months...

Why? Likely because people don't want to pay fifty grand for a gussied up base model!

 

Well they took the fun out of having an SR and the owner customizing it as they wish.

 

man, those line prices take the term stealership to a whole new level
looking at just the stuff that is crazy easy to "install"...emblem overlays are $150 before dealer discount, they want $400 installed. black lug nuts are $65 for all 4 corners before dealer discount, they want double that to put them on. I can only imagine how cheap those $1700 LED pods and bar are on Amazon/ebay, and I'm not sure I even want to see what is more than likely a hack wiring job. Lift kit and grille is under $1200 from a dealer, they are asking almost 3x that amount after install.

 

‍♂️ At least the buyer is getting something for the increased amount over msrp.

That's better than slapping a $10k "market adjustment" on it.

 

Ironic that some some dealers will not sell us a Pro Grill without a pro VIN, yet they will add it themselves to a base model to get more money for it.

 

It comes with that lift kit package.

 

Well, the markup is for the real turn-to-start key that you'll get... right?

 

35k for a V6 7594 blows my mind. Love the very professional sticky note for Jules.
