2019 TRD Pro’s collecting dust at dealerships

A couple of SoCal Toyota dealers are overstocked with Pro’s right now. One has 29 on the lot, the other has 30.

My hunch is that the Pro bubble has burst. Potential buyers that are still in the market are being patient for a 2020 Pro or are waiting until November/December to strike a killer deal on a leftover 2019.

It’s the stupid snorkel and 10k Kali markup.

 

My dealer has 27 Pro's out of 100 Tacos - https://www.toyotaofmanchesternh.com/

EDIT - I have always felt the Pro is overpriced and useless, like my fake scoop. Of course it makes you, "feel" cooler

 

Similar to Ford Raptors Tacoma TRD Pro’s are now selling for MSRP or less.

 

Holy hell that must be a giant dealership to have that many of one vehicle. I counted total toyota vehicles at this dealership: 1,183.
245 just in camry's.

 

That's a lot of pro's. You would think that at some point they're going start marking them down to get rid of them.

 

The 2019 HAS the snorkel.

 

They would make nice shop loaners. I'd take my Toyota in to the dealer for service if I got a TRD Pro loaner for the day. Pro model not important, any of the three would do.

 

I think the auto sector has softened for everybody. Ford reported a soft second qtr. Nissan’s troubles continue. Tesla is running on hope and dreams. Haven’t heard anything about GM or Toyota.

 

I just realized that...my bad. Deleted my post.

Probably due to the snorkel.

 

Well at least you have the option down there. EVERY Canadian PRO has the dorkel.

 

Most of everything buyers were waiting are out Gladiator, Ranger, and now most people know if they want a 2020 or a 19 Tacoma.

 

Longo Toyota is the biggest Toyota dealer in the US.

 

We have one by us, they were dicks. I'd never buy one from them.

 

Scarf them up....might be a good investment.

 

Bro’s be waiting for power seats

 

I'd trade mine in for a white manual without a snorkel if a dealer would ever stock one.

 

When Toyota came out with the Supra and the 86 they had the aftermarket tuner crowd in mind and left a lot of things untouched (fake scoops that can be made usable, power tweaks etc.) so people could then do their own thing. They seemed to have abandoned this strategy with the Tacoma TRD Pro and have ended up charging a lot of $ for mods that many would just as soon do themselves.

 

I am surprised that there are even Voodoo blue ones. Those seemed to be especially popular.

 

Longo is huge. Not just the largest Toyota dealer in the US but the largest dealer of any brand. It is crazy big
