Dealer says mud flaps aren't available for off road

Does anybody know if this is true? Dealer says oem mud flaps only fit the painted sport fenders....

 

Pretty sure that's a giant crock of shit. Hope someone else with a 3rd gen can confirm this.

 

That is incorrect. My OR came with factory flaps

 

Why would they lie to me? They're telling me they wouldn't fit right and would leave a gap between the fender and the mud flap and wouldn't look right.

 

Ignorance and excuses to make you go away?

Easier than researching.

There is a parts guy on the board. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/new-camelback-toyota-employee-here-to-help.415891/

Order what you need from him. Install, revisit and educate your dealer.

 

They're also telling me my 2013 running boards won't fit my 2016 but they're gonna try. I've already read some threads stating they will fit. I've left the truck for the day so they can check the atf and install paint protection and try to remove brown stains left on the paint from the tire goop they lathered on the tires. I just bought the truck Saturday and the paint is already stained from their tire dressing and I'm afraid it won't come off.....

 

Sorry to hear all of this OP. Sounds like this dealer sucks.

 

Liars...all of them...

 

I love the truck, I'm not worried about the flaps, I'll just install them myself, I'm just afraid I'll have issues with the staining. I've searched the issue with white paint being stained by tire dressing and it sounds like it's pretty much permanent.

 

How bad is the staining? Do you have pics?

 

Check my Duke of Deals thread I have them for sale in there for 61.00 shipped

 

The stains are little brown spots all over the bottom behind the tires. I've tried everything to remove them up to and including claying and lacquer thinner, it won't budge. There's another thread on here with a guy dealing with the exact same thing, he has some pics.

Here's the other thread

 

Eek, that sucks. I'd probably just have a pro deal with that. Looks like a major PITA.

 

I'm hoping Toyota will stand by it, I've only had it a day. It's from the dealers tire shine, it was dripping with the stuff when I left the lot to drive home. I haven't done a thing to the truck except try to wash it off.

 

Here they are in work! Ask your dealer why would Toyota allow you to add the mud flaps to the Off-Road when building the truck on their website?

 

Check out Rokblokz, they make some very nice mud flaps: http://rokblokz.com/toyota-tacoma-2016.html

 

Sorry to hear this. I have dealt with ten dealerships up and down the east coast for the past year and the level of incompentance from sales people blows me away. They want to sell me a 40,000 truck but can't tell me the difference between a OR and Sport

 

I'll seel you a full set never opened.... OEM and cheap too.

 

More proof that white is a single stage paint. If it was a base clear it wouldn't stain like that
