    Wait, full tank of gas? A new truck is cheaper than a full tank. Buy a truck and get a 21 gallons free. Rip off Toyota!

    Both my new Tacos had full tanks. I told them to skip out on the free car wash though the second time. They really suck at it.

    I think my sticker said 4 gallons of gas, but I got a full tank. I didn't do any negotiating on it. The truck hadn't come in yet when I purchased it, and when it came in I told them when I was coming to pick it up and they said they would go fill up the tank before I go there.

    The only other time I've purchased from a dealership was a new Mitsubishi. The dealer gave me a voucher to bring to a gas station to fill up the tank myself.

    So far I've added an Advance folding bed cover and since removed it. Gave it to my son in Maine, he has an 05 2wd. GT perfect fit seat covers. Weathertech floor mats and window vent visors. Waag center brush/grill guard. Hose clamp tailgate mod. Turned off the seat belt chime. Added Ultra-Gauge. Trailer hitch. Softopper. Replaced sun visors with slide out style. Toyota bed extender. Had Firestone Destinations and now Michelin LTX AT2 in stock size. More mods to come; Fog lights, locking storage in bed, intermittent wipers. Now looking for Radio/HU upgrade. and maybe a lift way down the road.
    Dealer told me it would take quite a while before I saw the referral reward when my GF bought her Rav4 a couple weeks ago. I'm hoping to have it by June. Just saying.

    Full tank for the past few vehicles I bought. Never discussed it. I expected it and it was there. Years ago I told them to fill the tank before I took the keys but that was GM and now look at them.

    full....the dealer that i purchased (Rouen in Maumee) from would also do a wash with the oil change. since i have moved, i've found the dealers out here are less caring and don't do a quick wash with the oil. i would actually drive the 250+ miles to buy from Rouen vs the local guy here.

    Not only did I get a full tank, they filled it up again when i brought it back a few days later to get the mudflaps removed.

    I think my sticker said 6 free gallons of gas...

    for $32k - they better fill up the tank...

    Around here it depends on what is meant by "full" tank. They only filled it until it read full. The needle started dropping on the way home (it was only 10 miles to home) so they shorted me a couple of gallons because I can put 70 to 80 miles on a new tank before it starts to move.
