Alabama thread!

Do you know all the deets like package and color and whatnot?

 

Tell me what it is so I make sure I don't steal your idea

 

Yep.

2017 TRD OR in Quicksand.
Added Premium/Tech package and tow package.

 

Hmm I am not sure if I trust you!

 

Damn hoss. Long or short bed? Manny? Auto?

 

Short bed, auto.

 

Haha. I also have the rigid fogs with amber covers. That's my un-unique idea

 

Anything I need to make sure about when I purchase? I am going to make sure the TSB has been done on the transmission. Would there be anything else?

 

Very nice!! How do they compare to the stock ones?

 

Yes. Make sure you have the power rear window. I was assured by my salesman and his manager that the '17 wouldn't have it while I was ordering my '16

 

Make sure they have the diff fluids filled properly

 

Viewed from the sides or of center, almost has a tinge of blue. Straight on white. While they definitely put out more light forward they don't seem to put as much out horizontal. Put the covers on because they obviously clashed colors with my stock halogens. Didn't hurt the output though. Overall I'm happy. $230 on Amazon when I bought them.

 

Yea, I need the only new feature!

All the sales guys I'm working with are very quiet. My wife says I intimidate them because I know the truck better than they do.

Is there a dip stick or how should I go about this?

 

I would just mention to them that there seems to be a common problem with the tranny and diffs all coming with low fluids from the factory and you'd like for them to ensure that they are full to spec before you drive off the lot.

 

Yeah, my guy didn't have a clue. Every question I asked his reply was Idk. Nice enough guy and I got a deal I was happy with. Where are you getting yours?

 

I am not sure. I am talking with a guy from Serra toyota, and Hoover Toyota. Unless they just give me some crazy deal I won't buy from Serra, the first guy I talked to there got mad at me when I didn't drive one off the lot that day. I am talking with a different guy now but my family has always had bad experiences with them. I would like to buy from Hoover simply because they are the closest to my house.

End the end I will most likely be buying it it from Sunny King Toyota in Anniston because my dad is friends with the owner and he has always beat any price for my family.

I like shopping for deals tho

 

The best thing I found was the true invoice pricing on the 3rd gen forum. I ended up emailing 13 or so dealerships. Guy I used to work with was working at serra. Called him and waited 4 days on a quote. Told me I was getting invoice, ha! It was msrp! Never returned his phone call. Went back to hoover and basically got a touch under or around invoice. Had to pay a doc fee though.

 

Sweet, is the thread a sticky? I need to go find that.

 

I think so, but it was for the 2016. Think the 2017 went up a little bit. They might have updated it though
