    Just picked up this 2016 TRD OR 4x4 DCSB yesterday. Drove to Dallas from Houston because none of the stealerships in my area were willing to negotiate.
    Going from driving a 350z for 6 years, driving a bigger vehicle will take some getting used to, but I'm loving it so far. Especially the OR suspension over bumps and potholes. Anyways, tried to take some decent pics with my phone while in Dallas, here they are:

    I went through Cowboy Toyota. Christopher Farmer was the sales person I dealt with.

    Congrats on the truck. It looks fantastic.
    Did you go with auto or manual trans? I'm curious because I order the same truck with a manual trans from Dave Stevens at Cowboy Toyota back on 11/30. I figured I could use your experience to set my expectations.

    It's an auto. I ordered a Sport in the same config on 12/8. I would call them twice a month to see if it was allocated, but it never ended up being picked up by Toyota. Then they told me that there was one being built that hadn't been spoken for, but it was the OR instead of the Sport. After doing research, I ended up liking the OR better, so they snagged it for me.

    The manual is probably where I went wrong then. Its pretty impressive that they found you one what wasn't spoken for given how fast they are selling. I've been pretty happy with them, just not Gulf State Toyota. I'm glad you didn't just get what you wanted but something you like even better.
