    So I go to the Toyota website. I build and configure the truck I want. Several exact matches are displayed, but it doesn't tell me which dealers have the matching trucks. If I click the chat icon or ask for more info on a selected truck, an automated person just comes up taking down my info for my nearest dealer to contact me.

    Is there a way to locate the matching trucks (and their dealer) ourselves? The website Toyota allows me to build on is "South East Toyota". Its like a regional site for Southeastern U.S.

    Thanks

    Have you tried autotrader with nationwide search? Works better imo.

    Autotrader or cars.com is better. The toyota site is just an info collector and will get salesmen to call you about vehicles that are close to what you want.

    Call a dealership you want to deal with and get a sales person on it. If it's out there they will get it if it's possible. They want your money.

    If it shows up in that search it is out there. Give your closest dealer a call and they will find it and get it for you.

    Most of the dealers who have to locate the truck I want, will not negotiate on price. If it isn't on their lot they are not wanting to negotiate. I will try autotrader.com and cars.com.
