Canadian 3rd Gen Thread

For those of you that want to see the new Limited in Canada here is a video. Also, if you haven't seen the Black Leather interior in the Double cab Sport, it is the same as the Limited Leather in this video:

Really nice. wish I had the power window in the back but I prefer the long bed!

 

I'm thinking about getting a Leer canopy for my DCSB, and i don't have any canopy dealers near me. Any ballpark guesses on what i'd be looking at for cost?

 

That all depends on the brand you go with and the options you add.

Edit:
Sorry, meant to say Leer Model Number.
I have a Leer on my 2016 Limited.

 

The Leers are pricey but worth it IMHO.

Will dig out my invoice for you but I am thinking you should budget around $4000.00

 

My local shop ordered me a Range Rider Apex (Similar to a Leer 100xl, ARE Z series, Raider Phantom) 70/30 side windows, carpeted headliner, roof tracks, colour matched Cement Gray. Price is just over $3500 with free shipping but I can't remember if install is included or not. They're made in Summerland B.C. apparently right across the street from the Arrow canopy manufacturing facility too.

I remember last spring I priced out a Cap-it Bulldog for $1800, free headliner upgrade, colour matched, plus install cost. I think the sales guy said it was a Raider Vegabond re-branded for Cap-it stores. If there's one close to you I'd see if they still have that deal going on.

 

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I noticed that on the Toyota Canada brochure it lists Cement Grey Metallic (1H5) as an optional colour for 2017's and 2018's. On the Toyota USA brochures it does not list Cement Grey Metallic as a colour, only Cement.

I also notice this for Blazing Blue Metallic (CDN) vs Blazing Blue Pearl (USA) and Black (CDN) vs Midnight Black Metallic (USA).

Is there anything to this, that being the metallic paints have the metallic flecks in it or it just some sort of marketing pitch?

I saw a Cement Grey Metallic in the lot the other day and I couln't see any metallic flecks in it.......

 

Saw a cement sport today...no flakey.

 

Did some more research and according to http://www.toyotareference.com/tacoma which is a USA site, Cement has the same paint code as Cement Grey Metallic (1H5).

I want my flecks dammit.

 

I can assure you that Cement gray is DEFINITELY a metallic paint.
Looks like a gold or silver metal flake mixed into the paint on mine, it seems to take on whatever colour is closest to it. Although, sadly, it also has blue hues to the gray. I was optimistically hoping it was a true neutral gray. Sure is purdy though.

 

Anyone in canada got the leather seats in the ‘18 and would think about trading for cloth plus cash?

 

Where in BC you located?

 

Northern BC

 

Yeah sorry don’t know of any dealers up there. I have an Arrow Matrix (their top of the line) retail from Arrow was $3300cdn colour matched.

 

Hey, can you post some info on your plow setup (and pics)? Is this a snowsport plow?

 

Cap-it is in PG or GP,
Canopy West is in GP.

We had an Arrow mark1 on the 2nd Gen, this time we went with a RangeRider Cruiser; 70/30, front slider, no carpet - $2400

 

Can anyone tell me where they bought an oil filter wrench for the 3.5L? I'm having trouble finding it in a local store or with reasonable shipping costs on-line. I live in south western Ontario. Thanks

 

This one....

Yes its a snowsport plow. I don`t have any more pictures of it and I took the mount off. It`s one of the best plows I used and worked very well. I like that it`s not hard on the truck and no wiring is needed. In this picture you can see the mount on the front.

 

It doesn't have the notches cut out like the MotivXtool. Does it still work?
