New truck on order.

My new 2023 sr5 is supposed be coming in next week. Comes with the factory bed cover. Last of the v6 engines and where I live this color and combination package is almost impossible to find. Weird thing was the truck was built on June 9th and still is on the vessel waiting to be dropped off at the port. Looking at the tracking sheet provided to me from the dealership this truck did a lot of sitting around waiting through every shipping process.

 

Don't you have a 23?

 

Getting another one

 

why?

 

I guess because I can lol. Made me a stellar deal

 

The truck I have has been in the dealer about 20 times with various issues im taking my chance with one last 3rd gen

 

“Toyota reliability”

be better off taking your chances on a 4G Tacoma. 20 times is enough to swear off a vehicle for good for me.

 

Excellent color choice!!

 

I'd move on after that many problems if they were actual issues.

 

Dang SR5s cracked 40k?

 

Easily some are going for 44k plus. If they have the tech package

 

That’s what I’m doing

 

Isn’t this like your 6th 3rd gen?

 

5th

 

Damn. Did all of them have problems? Just curious why so many lol.

 

No… my 2017 and 2020 were flawless. I made the biggest mistake selling my 2020. My 22 and 23 have been nothing short of a nightmare. Engine oil leaks, brake issues, rear diff problems. Interior rattles. You name it I kick my self in ass every day getting rid of my 2020 Trd sport. Thank god I’m financially able to swing another truck to take my final chance at just driving it and not living in the service department. Quality had dropped big time since covid

 

I’m personally on my 6th 3rd Gen. I work at the Lexus /Toyota plant in Ontario and get a discount.First 4 were made at the Texas plant and the last 2 came from the Guanajuato plant in Mexico. I’ve had zero issues with all six other than a defective battery on my 3rd one. I’m thinking of keeping my current one and not getting the 4th generation depending on price which I anticipate will be a big increase.

 

Gotcha. I’ve only had a single 2021 that was made in Mexico and was built in either August or September 2021. Besides the battery leaking a bunch of acid, the truck has been utterly flawless. Hope that behavior continues.

 

What was your discount off 40k ?

 

The red looks good. Getting a new one before the new gen comes out sounds like a good decision.
