    And they are still for sale... Because they are over MSRP. MSRP is already highly priced and priced for the dealer and manufacture to make good money.
    It's like the dealer is greedy.

    It's like buying a taco for $10 when down the street it is $2. They feel if you are hungry enough, you will buy. Not me.

    Thank you, yes Bellingham for about 13 years now. Can't wait to go on some trails up here, maybe go hiking at artist point this summer.
    Taking her on her first road trip, Pot holes, Whitefish Montana then Spokane. We will see what she's made of?!?!?! Love driving a manual and she's so much fun so far.

    Looks like stock shocks with a spacer lift. NO THANKS. I have yet to see a dealer sell a lifted truck with a real lift, and not just spacers all around, which cost no more than 200-300.

    I didn’t know dealerships were still doing this. In 2017/18, most dealers near me wanted additional market value (dealer mark up). With more Pros made in 2019, and for sale, also additional competition, I would have assumed Toyota dealers would come to their sense.

    Not everyone wants to deal with or have time for "building their car/truck", some people want it "all done" out of the lot, and they have means to pay for it. Like the saying goes, "There is an ass for every seat", if there wasn't, dealers wouldn't build these.

    It depends. Things like pin stripes, the scam paint protectant, etc. are covered by the dealer. In this case it gets complicated that the Toyota parts have been removed and replaced by aftermarket. If you take it to another dealer which you are within your right to and the issue is with your ball joints, that is where it gets dicey and Toyota wants no part of that. There is a reason you rarely see modified vehicles on a new lot.
