    Dealer got me on pinstripes and door guards for an extra $200. Door guards aren't bad, but the pin striping has got to go .

    Can get free pinstripes on first off road wheeling adventure. Then the door guards are mute after... should give back to dealer and tell em "no thanks"?

    Play them- tell them you will make some cool ads and posts on social media of your first adventure with plugs about their dealership and will give them copies for their use in exchange for free stuff you choose or a gift certificate. Others do that too. A friend got a $500 certificate from a ford dealer just for making a short video about his new truck experience. He’s not a pro, and it was just shot with an iPhone.

    Here's how you play ball with those stupid dealer add ons. When they've added dumb crap for $189 or $1979 or anything in between, add that amount to your trade (if you have one).

    Inform them that there's already nitrogen in the tires.

    There is a guy on YouTube that has pinstripes on his blue Taco and I literally even messaged him to please for the love of God remove them. Didn’t work, but worth a shot. IMO our trucks do not look good with man made pinstripes. Lol!

    Call me old school, but I added a small pinstripe to mine for only $20 and I feel it really adds to the look of my truck....actually get many compliments on them. I did not extend them to the bed, but only on the fenders and cab. To each their own....go ahead and start the haters!!

    my dealer added tint for $600 and didn't tell me.

    the tint they added, they actually did not add... the factory did. and that was only on the rears anyway. lies and more lies. i don't like lying. especially when I'm charged cash for it.

    i called them out on it. they got nervous. i stood my ground. they told me the owner would call me. twice, in fact. no callbacks. no return to that dealer ever again.

    they were helpful up to that point and they had my truck i waited almost 6 months to get. so i said ok, cost of getting my unicorn, goodbye and F.U. I'll take your profits elsewhere.

    That's total BS, would have gone all the way to Toyota corporate with that one. I'm sure the dealership would only get a slap on the wrist but you could have got something for their lies.
