That's Canadian Dollars, not USD

according to Xe.com the exchange rate makes that....

41,543.42 USD

as of this posting time.

 

Well of course it's in Canadian dollars , I'm in Canada

 

Still...Jesus H.

 

USD...if a person put down $5,000 on that MSRP at 6% for 5 years (not counting taxes), the monthly payment would be: $706.48

Jesus H again! I'd have to live in the thing and I make a respectable income.

I'm going to buy a 2012. Might be worth the hassle of getting it over the border, having the DTRL mod completed( it's law in Canada),paying GST, having the engine immobilizer installed, living with a speedo in MPH instead of KMH, to save $10 grand......I could pick up a lift kit and have the supercharger installed and still be ahead.

 

So I found the expected price of Entune in three years from Toyota Facebook:

Hi Travis, sorry for delay. What follows represents an estimate only and is reflected in today's dollars. Pricing subject to change, etc..you know the drill. With Premium HDD Radio: Apps $5.00 per month OR Data (with SiriusXM) $8.99 per month OR Bundle $13.99 per month. Display Audio (non HDD system): Apps $5.00 per month, Data $5.00 per month, Bundle $10.00 per month. Thank you for your patience^GT

The Taco isn't getting the HDD so it looks like $10 a month to keep all the features. Not to terrible. Maybe in three years we can figure out how to root the Entune like my cell phone.

 

If you have an iPod touch you can Jailbreak and download NoAccessorySplash from Cydia. I use it on my iPhone

 

I got to test drive a 2012 last night. I like the 2012 front better than the 2011 that was sitting right next to it. 2012 just looks meaner. Plus, it looks like the approach angle at the tires is better since the bumper angles up at the corners.

 

I totally agree. Even the chrome surround looks good. Also, I was looking at a DCSB TRD Sport and access cab Off-road. I swore the DCSB looked to sit just slightly taller than the Access cab.

 

That might be true. Some folks have shown that some of the sports are getting the 4 leaf rear springs.

 

It's actually the fact its a double cab. Those are the models getting the four leaf. Sport package hasn't had anything to do with it from what I've seen. all access cabs have had the three leaf.

 

I have to agree with that. Approach angles look better...

 

I know the 2012 Double Cab, V6, Off Road, 4x4 I test drove last night had the 3 leaf pack.

On another note, has anyone gotten to see the All Weather Flooring option up close? I know there were some pictures earlier. I can't find a truck with it in all of Denver's dealers (plus the dealers haven't had a clue what I was talking about). I really want this option, but the earlier pictures didn't make it look the greatest. I'm probably going to special order my truck, but am hesitant w/o getting to see the flooring.

 

I haven't seen the flooring yet and tried ordering the option on a DC LB, the dealership called Toyota, and they said the only DC model is with SB (i believe model # 7594)

 

The seats are really great. The 2006 I owned had leather Liquicell seats. These are just as good if not better. If you want leather, see what the dealer or a custom shop will put them in for.

This may have already been addressed, but I did not want to read all 171 pages of thread.

I installed EGR window vents (in channel, not stick on), EGR hood protector and bought a black tool box. The black nerf bars and other black trim items make the Barcelona Red jump.
