2015/2014-6 speed TRD-4x4-DCSB almost impossible to find around SFO bay area

I have called and been to half a dozen dealerships around SFO bay area. None have manuals trans in 4x4, TRD crewcab, short bed. What is happening here? No one buys 6 speed manuals anymore?
There is one dealer that agreed to get one if I bought it at full price( $33,xxx), plus $800 shipping or what ever, TTL+Taxes and no negotiations.

 

Yup, the manual is hard to find and hard to keep in stock. They don't want to stock them because no one wants them but somehow because of us nuts there's enough people to snatch the few that they get right away.

 

Also, the Toyota website does not show red color as an option anymore. Do you guys know if they stopped red color in TRD, 4x4, 6 speed, DCSB?

 

6spds aren't too easy to find. I looked for a month before i found mine and i live on the east coast. People who have em, wanna keep em. Seems like car manufacturers are steering away from manuals. Its sad to say, but many grown adults these days can't even drive a manual transmission. I personally like manuals more than autos, but toyota does make a pretty good auto transmission.

 

Just went to Toyota's web site, clicked Shopping Tools and Check Inventory, added a sample zip code for the bay area (94110) and checked the boxes for DCSB with a six-speed manual. The site shows 5 of them in the area, 2 of them are TRD Off Road's and 2 others are TRD Sports. Of course it doesn't tell you which dealer has them, but a little searching on the individual dealer's site should get you there. Or, you could request a contact from Toyota's site. This is how I found my truck a year ago and I then contacted the dealer directly. I ended up flying in and driving it home.

 

Having the same problem in the South Bay, will be orderng one soon.

 

Here is how I see this:
TRD (model 7593A), 4X4, 6 Speed, double cab: $34,129 so give or take a few hundred, the approx total is $37,5xx out of door. Now, this is just stock. To add new lift and tires(outside dealer):~$2000.
Total: $39,500 (approx).

Order a TRD pro: (7597A): same spec with extras pro feature (3 inch lift), skid plate etc: $37,970
Total: $41,767 (approx).
The difference is $1700 plus resale value for TRD pro will hold value better in a long run.
I'm going to make a decision by the end of this week...

 

Plus one...I like manual too. I will not buy a Auto.

 

Here is another issue. No Red color in manuals!!!!!!WTF is Toyota thinking?

 

It took me over 4 months of searching to find a V6 6 speed Off-Road here in Pittsburgh

 

No one buys them because they barely make them I searched and searched and gave up

 

Hello team,
Quick help (geez again). What is the difference between base package and TRD (in terms of lift, tires and off road capabilities)? I only see better shocks(which I will change to lift it anyway), perhaps diff locks?

 

Tell dealer what you want. They will get it for you.

 

I love my 6-speed, pretty easy to find manuals here because people only drive manuals here automatics are looked down where i am at, plus manuals are so much more fun to drive autos are so plain and boring.

 

TRD PRO update: Just got back from two dealers. No TRD pros manuals, DCSH will be shipped NorCal EVEN if you order it(no hope as per dealer). There is one scheduled to SoCal and one to Ohio at this time(Mid to late Nov).

 

Burlingame had one pro manual about a week or so ago... But I guess it's gone?

 

it took three tries and 4 months to get my 6sp AC offroad. i can only imagine how much fun a PRO in a 6sp is to order. though, if youre willing to wait.. they can order nearly any combination of options you want.

manuals are a dying breed sadly. even more incentive not to get one.. the final gear ratio of the manual give you worse gas mileage than the auto!

 

Here is socal too 100 miles only one ! Lucky i got my 6 speed 50 miles from los angeles .

 

Stevens Creek Toyota had a 2014 TRD Off-Road DCSB 4x4 in MGM color 6spd the Thursday before labor day weekend (8/28). I test drove it before I settled on an auto instead. Not sure if they still have it now but some customer ordered it then decided he couldn't wait and bought one off the lot instead.

 

Just got the Trd Pro MT at Burlingame last week. They said this is the only one they would receive until next year....No regrets, most fun Manual ever. Highly recommend!
