1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I like my ferd, if I drive it till it's miled out I'll probably try and buy, if it's still worth a shit in 85k

 

5.0l?

 

If so, he'll develop a coolant leak soon enough

Those hoses/tubes were such a shit design

 

Is it the internal o-ringed pipes too? With the c clip style retention wire deal?

 

The o rings that flatten out in no time, yep

 

Pretty sure it's the 3.5

 

Hmm usually it has the ecoboost badges. Could be the 3.3l V6 too.

 

Wel now I gotta go look

 

Yep that's an engine

sticker said 3.5

 

Wicked. I like the ecoboost. Shits n gets. With the fuel economy of a V8. Wonder if they still have the warping exhaust manifold issues lol.

 

Found your missing badges too. Does the company care if you do minor mods?

 

I mean, most new trucks we have have block lifts and 33's but that's pretty much it, could probably put lights on them haha.

 

Damn. I'm actually impressed lol.

 

I like the way it looks, I wanted to try and fit 35/10.5's but didn't wanna get fired. I don't mind driving it though, I've had it since like June and only have 6k on it.


We wanna try and get the HSE department Tacomas or something smaller next time, we don't need full sized trucks like the operators

 

Was at the grocery store yesterday (pre storm) and saw one of these bumper stickers in the parking lot.


Unironically, it was on a rav4.

 

Send it. Ive noticed with alot of companies, as of recent, are in tacomas. Makes more sense if you dont "work" out of em.

 

A lot of the ones here are too now. I think toyota must have done something really right recently on fleet marketing or pricing because before they were too expensive and no businesses used them.

 

Smart of them. Shitheads.

 

Yeah, this makes me wonder how far back fleet pricing goes

For Ram or Chevy, a half-ton would be $44k

Invoice is about $39k (both trucks had damn near similar spreads)

A holdback of about $1k

Brings the net cost to $38k, but being fleet, rebates and all that are not applicable

'VIP' pricing was about $6-7k back of that so a govt vehicle or so would be damn near $30k but actual fleet, I've ran some deals where that truck was now $22-24k (about half of MSRP)

So yeah, a shit ton of a difference
