They are on the dealer lots!!!

This thread has devolved into a bunch of old farts complaining about new toys.

 

which states are these?
Also, I’d be more worried about the 16 y/o drivers considering there’s more of them watching TikTok while driving compared a few(comparatively speaking) 80 year olds driving around

 

Just drove up to this dealer and couldn’t find any of them on the lot..dang!

 

It’s 16 1/2 here in MA. I wish it was sooner so my kids could drive themselves to sports practice.

 

New Mexico has the highest rate, with Arizona and Florida also near the top. Generally states below the sun belt have higher rates of pedestrian fatalities.

 

Sorry, we did not save any fore you!

 

No soup for u

 

Base off the most current allocation update it looks like they are not shipping as many OR models as they are Sport and SR5 models. Only 61 OR models listed in freight compared to 117 Sports and 142 SR5. 46 SR and 17 Limited. I get for not as many SRs and Limiteds since I assume those are lower volume sales but would figure just as many ORs as Sports. Wondering if they have supply shortages for OR parts.

 

Yea I remember those days. Better times for sure.

 

I got my permit and license at 16, but taking driver's ed and no tickets allowed me to get a full driver's license at 17. Normally that would not happen until 18, but it was nice to have full privileges a year early.

 

That IPad sitting in the middle of the dash is a deal breaker for me. I could not stand that.

 

Yea, it’s kinda big. 10” would probably be better.

 

I agree, 10" would be better. Same on my Tundra that has the 14". But it does not obscure vision of the road. My sight line over the top edge hits the hood before the midway point.

 

Why so few pics of Tacomas on dealer lots?

Post#117 and 1 pic?

 

The screen looks huge at first, but you get used to it fast. Kind of like the time you got your first big flat screen TV. The one annoyance I run into a lot is if I want to exit a route in Google Maps. That soft button pops up on the far right upper corner of Maps and it is quite a reach, at least on Tundra. And I am not short. Other minor quibble is the color theme with white background for everything, which is great for maps but not so much for the radio, during the day. Yeah, you can put it in night mode 24/7 but then the maps suck for daytime.

 

I like the big screen as long as you can actually use it while driving. If it locks you out while moving then I’d rather just use my phone so I can zoom out and pan around on maps or waze.

 

As a buyer, this means nothing to me and I do not want to pay for this kind of "upgrades." I am probably not the normal buyer or targeted techy buyer, but this crap is useless to me and gives an excuse to raise prices.

 

How many have been delivered so far? Like 2?

 

Maybe 3.
