    I am happy with my 2019 since I only have 14,000 miles on it. I will watch and see when they come out with the new Tundra or wait on the next gen Tacoma. My next purchase will be when I finally say seeya to the work life.

    Really, how many Toyota dealerships do you run, how many regional VP’s ate dinner at your house last week. “You know nothing John Snow”

    Obviously none, just going by everything I have read stating that after the Fukushima Disaster Toyota realized they were vulnerable to chip shortages and now is the only automaker positioned with a 2 to 6 month stockpile.

    Mostly dust and dirt.
    I wonder why American mid-size trucks don’t have an inventory problem.

    The only lack of Tacoma's I see in my state is actually having a brand new PRO in stock and at a reasonable price lol

    Most dealer tho are marketing the prices a little higher then pre-Covid
