Tacoma/Tundra Prices To Go Up Due to Chip Shortage

Hmmm.... ammo and computer chip shortage. Coincidence? I think not...

 

I've had a TRD Sport DCSB 6MT on order since early December. Projected build date is mid-May, so I probably won't see it until June. I got what I felt was a solid deal, but the salesperson and inventory manager have both left the dealership since then. Will be interesting to see how they handle the situation!

 

I ended up walking in a buying my 21 DCSB TRD sport it had maxed out options such as advanced tech and stuff so may have priced out some people. When I went to look at it it had been seen by multiple people already and didn't even have PID done yet.

 

I'd check their web sites and then call and confirm

Once something gets hot or availability is low dealers will always ' Add ' products and ' ADM's '
especially to help cover the floor plan on non hot units

 

sounds like a lot of guys living in their Moms basement are stocking up haha!

 

New Tundra is gonna have a carburetor, distributor cap and points, and cable throttle with choke, cause no chips and the fellas here don’t want ‘em.

Should get 4MPG

 

Don’t you mean 4GPM (gallons per mile)

 

huh interesting. My dealer said if I don’t buy a brand new Tacoma or three immediately then I’m a little bitch...

different sales tactics I guess.

 

Key words, According to analysis...lol.

 

There are no Conspires as there are also no Coincidences

 

Could be, i guess time will tell

 

Still better than Ford who delayed the Bronco because they can’t get the roofs to stop leaking.

 

Watched these last night, sorry, dont want to watch again to find the exact timestamp. But he says that the new Tundra is probably already being produced right now. So I cant imagine they're even making the old Tundra any more.

Ford Bronco Delayed Again, Customers to Receive $495 Sound-Deadening Headliners for Free (thedrive.com)

The only thing I came across was a Covid delay for people that wanted the Color Molded Hardtops, is there some other leak issue?

 

There are no shortages of Tacomas or Tundras in CO and that's with me only looking at fewer than ten dealers. If I didn't want a manual access cab I could've had any color in any configuration the same day.

 

I should have put a deposit down on a Bronco order, might be able to use that to get a better deal on a Ranger.

 

I found an AG DCSB OR manual with LED and what looks like no other options. Might be gone by now.

 

If production is down which it is, and if overall demand is down which it is. I would think alot of what is being produced will be 2022 models. Manufacturers are already planning for production delays due to supply chain disruptions.

 

Johnny Lieberman from Motor Trend mentioned it on the Smoking Tire Podcast this week. Said there was issues with leaks on both the hard and soft tops. But yah, nothing in writing on the old google.
