Bought my Tacoma in Salt Lake City. I got the TRD Sport and stick was 36,700 I was able to get them to 36,109 but they were VERY staunch on price.

They did however, give me a lot more for my trade than I expected. Goes to show that there is definitely some wiggle room.

Also found out that not every truck comes with the tonneau cover, (Which is what they originally told me). Luckily, mine did. But they had 2 Sports come in and neither had the cover, they wanted to charge you more. Those both had MSRP of 35,588.

Let me know if any of you have questions! Good luck to all those hunting for a 2016! Hope you get an even better deal.

Tonneau covers are put on 30% of the trucks from the factory to meet the existing city/hwy mpg ratings. They are options which 30% of the buyers must pay ($650). Doesn't matter if its SB or LB. Tunnel covers are more expensive!

So are Toyota's numbers different than the independents that have tested mpgs with and without covers? Every test I have seen shows no improvement and on some a slight decrease. I have had covers on 2 f150s and never noticed any diff.

My theory is the older trucks did better with a cover. But the new trucks are more aero and all have the integrated tailgate spoiler, that has marginalized any gains from a top.
But hell, what do I know. Plus, I may have had a beer or few.

I was wondering the same thing.
But then I remembered, every 3rd gen discussion turns to shit.

Still no 2016s at my local dealers yet.

Don't know but that's the political reasoning for it. It may also be a marketing plow to show Toyota entering the tonneau market!
