    Hey guys,

    I went back to the dealer today and was talking to my salesman. Long story short he said he would hook me up with some OEM mud flaps and they would cover 75% of cost. Then said it would be about $100 for me. This is for a 2019 tacoma SR Extended cab no fender flares. Does anyone know the part number so I can look it up online and go in with an actual toyota online price? Kinda not thrilled they're trying to pull one over on me.

    I dont think the SR comes with the holes necessary for OEM mudflaps so maybe they are including labor to fit the flaps? Not sure, but OEM mudflaps are less than $100 themselves.

    Didn't know that, so maybe? But still seems high even if they put in labor at $400 total cost if you only paying 25%.

    The mudflaps will not work unless you have fender flares.

    So maybe that included fender flares and labor? I dont know, something isnt smelling right with all this. I'm going in Friday to have them check out a front collision system warning light that went off for no reason so I'll inquire more then.

    Retail is $85:

    Most dealer will probably charge 1hr labor ($140ish)

    So after tax you're looking at around $230 total cost installed.

    For $100 installed at the dealer I'd be happy enough, although I bought mine for $60 and installed them myself.

    "75% of cost" doesn't really mean anything they could easily say they're giving you 75% off the parts and only charging 0.5hrs of labor which comes out to $100, and not be lying.

    Sounds like a scam. I would just buy the flaps and install them myself. Dealership charges crazy shop times.

    I agree. I had the weathertechs on my 2016. They’re also more flexible than oem. I have the oem on my 2019 and paid $80 for the set.

    As far as I know, the sr fender flareless tacoma doesn't have any mud guards that will fit that toyota makes. Toyota only makes mud guards for the tacoma with stock fender flares. I bought the mud guards for the tacoma with fender flares and put them on my truck with no fender flares no problem. The holes still line up.
