    Help, please.

    Is there anyone who can do a "dealer locater" for me, please? I've literally spoken with 30 different dealers and I get a different story from them all. Here's what I want specifically…

    2016
    Tacoma
    TRD Offroad
    4x4
    Double Cab
    Long Bed
    Quicksand
    tow package

    *NO PREMIUM/TECH PACKAGE!*

    Doesn't seem like too much to ask for but apparently either this truck doesn't exist yet or the dealerships have their heads up the tailpipe...

    The dealership I ordered from is acting like they don't want my business all that bad… Won't give me a straight answer on anything. SO tired of the dealership B.S.

    That sux man. Hate to hear the experience being ruined.

    I'm a bit far being in GST region but it doesn't seem like your wanting anything too unique.

    I'm facing similar issues with a similar build.
    My theory is that initially only shortbed's where built and long beds are slowly starting to appear in inventory as of this week. Last week there were a handful of long beds in my area, this week I found there were more DCORLB's in the area. However none of those have the HH or FP package.

    I was recently tipped off on a DCORLB with the HH package waiting at the docks, the dealer I spoke to said they would like to sell it to me but would have to mark it up $3k!! I'm not hurting for transportation so I will remain patient.

    I have a feeling we will see more in the next few weeks.

    I had a hard time just finding a DCOR 4x4 for less than 39k, finally had to drive 200 miles to get close to what I wanted.

    We live in a tech hungry society. Most dealers include the tech package and more on most trucks as their average order.

    The DCLBTRDOR is apparently the golden unicorn of Tacomas. If you look at the "waiting game" thread, probably 75% of the people still waiting on orders are waiting on model 7568, myself included. I think my dealer is giving me the runaround too and I am about to ask for my deposit back so I can start calling around the country and figure out where I have to fly to buy one.

    Don't know where you are located but here are some Temp Vin's in the Southeast Region that meet your specification. Both have everything you asked for and no tech package, but they both do have toyoguard elite and clear paint hood protection added. Dealer should be able to get rid of those though before it comes to port.

    5TFDZ5BNXGX51A729 (available 1/27/2016)

    5TFDZ5BN8GX50B981 (available 1/20/2016)

    No idea if they are spoken for yet.

    Stock and loving it
    We picked up our DCLB OR 4x4 in super white last night. It only has tow package and no premium or tech packages.

    I spent months contacting over 100 dealers in our area. No one had one and no one would go under MSRP to order. Most wanted 3k to 5k more to order. After 2 months of searching, my wife randomly calls a dealership she grew up near, who is 110 miles away, and they happen to have two allocated to them! We drove 110 miles, put down 500 deposit, waited one month, truck arrived in 31 days, through PDI, and we picked it up last night and drove 110 miles back home.

    We paid 500 less than MSRP, not a great deal, but there are no 7568s in socal

    This. Don't be afraid to travel great distances (if possible) for your vehicle. I bought my Jeep from a dealer in California for thousands less than my best deal in Colorado. Just weigh your costs.

    I'm absolutely willing to travel. I travel every week for work so I can fly for free anywhere in the U.S. The dealership I've been working with has given me a temporary vin # as well but no delivery date. How do I figure out the delivery date?
