2017 TRD PRO, who's waiting?

Did you get it at Tresure Coast Toyota in Florida? They told me they sold and shipped one to California.

 

No sorry, I bought in North Olmsted ohio.

 

I think you can do better!! The problem is those expense extra's that are not worth it... IMO, if you could get it for $43,500 + TTL and assuming you get a tax credit with the difference between the trade-in value and purchase price of truck. My truck's MSRP was $44.077 and I had $9200 in equity in my trade...Financed $36,xxx...

 

Madness. My ceramic tinted windows from local tint shop were $170. And they quoted me $600 for a clear bra.

 

Not sure what the dealer fee is. If it's not a doc fee, it's just profit, meaning $200 off MSRP would be $499 over MSRP. That might be what the market is on those trucks, but I'd try to get $1000 off the true MSRP and maybe settle for $500 off if you have to. These are big boy trucks and they demand big boy profit. If you look at an Off Road, $1500 off list should be your target price. All this depends on trade value, interest rate etc. They can move one shell and move another to offset the first move. The good news is, the Pro should be worth a ton when you want to get rid of it.

 

$37k out the door with $9500 down is $46.5k total. You said $45,076. What's your sales tax?

 

I paid 46,000 for mines. Considering only 2 cements were allocated for our island in Hawaii. Had my doubts about the truck when I test drove it. Once I took it home, I have no regrets

 

What doubts did you have initially?

 

Seatbelt Mike explaining tech details about Pro.....

 

After they put the plates on mine and I was about to get in for the 1st time to start it up I had 2 different Tacoma owners approach me and start talking Tacos and how nice the Pro was before I could leave.

Took a few people out in it so far and everyone loves it. No regrets here either.

 

Cement is growing on me. Nice truck

 

love my pro also, 2 months old,,, AWESOME.. test drove a offroad , no comparison,, coming from my 2015 Pro, no regrets,, people are just jealous that say they arnt worth it, they cant afford one i guess... bought mine off the showroom floor,, they let me test drive an off road first wasnt impressed,,, said i wanted to test ride the pro, so they pulled it out from the showroom floor and it made all the differance,,, worth every penny,, it just need bigger tires ,, coming soon.. love all the modern upgrades inside,,,

 

I just can't get past a $45K Tacoma with no power seat or JBL. Cool as hell, but come on Toyota. How much more would an 8 inch sub cost you?

 

FYI. Allen Toyota in Gulfport, MS has a red Tacoma Pro AT and a white Tundra Pro on the lot at MSRP

(I have no connection to them)

 

The car I am trading is 2009 BMW 328i Sports Wagon Manual in red and has 75k on it (it cost crazy to fix).

They said they buy my car for $9.5k

 

Taxes in FLORIDA is 6%

 

I am looking for a manual. But this dealer trying to talk me into an automatic fir 2k extera.

I am not so sure. Maybe I go test drive it. I hear bad ghjngs about this automatic tranny thst upshifts so quickly. So manual might way better.

 

Thought about buying the PRO , but there is nothing wrong with my 08 SR 5 . I can take $5000 and put it in my truck . Add some goodies .

 

I haven't had an issue with my automatic. The truck is set up to get better gas mileage than the past, like all trucks now. That means the manufacturer wants them to be in the highest gear with the lowest RPM's possible to save gas. This means at 70+ miles per hour, it will shift in and out of overdrive more than years past. If I want to pretend like I'm Burt Reynolds in a Trans Am, I push the power button and it lets you stay in each gear at a higher RPM, like transmissions used to do. All of them are doing it, if they haven't gone to a CVT. I had a 2011 GMC truck with the 5.3 V8, and it drove like a 4 cylinder until I punched it, and then it came alive. Dodge has a 10 speed transmission! Having said that, if I didn't have a 50 mile commute each way, I would have bought a stick. I'm a dying breed though.

 

It's almost like a standard for dealer add ons here to be 1K no matter what it is
