2024 Tacoma Inventories

Wife was next door at Lexus dealer doing the paperwork on her new RX so I walked over to the Toyota dealer right beside and there were three 2024 Tacoma's sitting there. Salesman told me there were a few more coming in before the end of February then in March there will be a bunch coming in, like at least twenty or more. He also said that the TRD Pro and the Trailhunter will be scarce for a while. Said several SR5's/TRD Sports and Off Road models with Double cabs and 6' beds. They plan on keeping one all the time as a demo, told me to come back end of next week and take the demo for a spin. So with that said prices might pull back a little if inventories go up but nothing is guaranteed.

 

What dealer? Feel free to post it in case there are some folk here looking for an available truck.

 

Most keep them on the lot to get foot traffic, heck we have a Sequoia and there are zero available.

When the 2nd and 3rd gens came out we hunted them down lol. The 2nd gen blue sport was a true shock to see in person.

This 4th gen can easily blend in with its Tundra big brother. Its cool but not a shock to see.

 

When my salesman called to tell me my truck was in, I told him I couldn't pick it up for 3 day, he was like That's fiiine. While I was there signing papers on it, there was an assload of people looking at it. trying to open it, etc.

 

Back when I was buying my 2008 Tacoma the Dealership did a trade for it then after they picked it up said not to come for 3 days. I drove by the Dealership at night and there it was right at the front door with balloons and signs all over it using for advertisement.

 

That's hilarious. I can understand their reasoning though.

 

Wife has a 2023 Lexus RX350h Premium+, we love it, your wife will too!

 

Inventories are very low because Tacomas are sitting at a port. FYI, the video in post #1 is from Feb 13th. Why do you think Toyota is keeping them all at the port?

 

same thing diamonds, control the inventory you can control the price

 

I think you are right about controlling the inventory (and leaving Tacomas at the port). I think Toyota wants to avoid another situation like the Tundra where dealers have to put $9000 off MSRPs on the windows and they still are not selling.

Where is that dealer? Pacific North West? Might be worth flying and driving back if I can get $7k of a tundra.

 

The dealer in the video above is Toyota of Gladstone (a few miles south of Portland, Oregon). That video is about a month old.

Here is another Portland, Oregon area dealer (Wilsonville Toyota) with discounts on Tundras and this video is 3 days old.

the only thing dumber that that guy posting a thread about not being impressed..... is the guy that posts videos from dealer parking lots.

 

Tundras are piling up like crazy at my local dealer in Wyoming. Most of them are top-end trims north of $70k. Very few middle-of-the-road trims like SR5. Starting to see discounts. I imagine after the novelty of a new generation Tacoma wears off, the same might happen for the Tacoma.

 

Cars stacking up on lots is a wonderful thing to see!....I want to see their rented overflow lots start filling up as well.
