Waiting for a TRD Pro with Manual Trans

Please help! I want a TRD pro in manual. It's so rare all the dealers just blow me off or say they'll add on 10 grand "dealership markup".
Any suggestions how I can get one of these for msrp?

There are 14 of them listed ranging from $43k to $47k.

 

dont be afraid to buy it out of state. i used autotrader to find mine in NC.

 

I bought mine for $250 under MSRP by calling dealers within 300 miles. A few dealers posted one price then wanted more than MSRP. The first one that quoted me under MSRP I promptly put a refundable downpayment down. I ended up driving 3 hrs for it. well worth the hassle

 

I just called on the 1 white one that was out of state from the website comb posted. He said it was sold before they even got it, they just had to put it online for some reason. Back to square one

 

Thanks montystruck, I'll try calling more dealers. Only dealt with 5-6 so far and they've been no help whatsoever.

 

Yeah definitely find a dealer that wants to earn your business

 

Seeing these 10k market adjustment markups and MT being so rare on top of that, would it at some point not make sense to look into getting MT OR and make a Pro look-a-like? As a 2nd gen guy, I'm not too familiar with all the differences between the two, but Pro beeing reasonably more expensive to start with and before said markup should comfortably buy all desired upgrades, and stock parts always sell. In 2nd gen days, you could order Baja/Pro suspension separately, but that may have changed now. I get that only Pro comes with certain colors.

Good luck in the search OP, hope you find the right truck.

 

Where are you located? I used auto trader and cars.com to find mine then confirmed it was there/on its way using Toyota's inventory search.

 

I'm in Southern California ... got 0 results on autotrader. And the 1 on cars.com was sold already

 

Put a down a refundable deposit on one and get it ordered exactly how you want it, to whatever dealer you want. If you don't buy it, get your deposit back and the dealer will sell it anyways. Pretty easy. Sit back and wait. Who knows how long you'll be waiting though. Waited 4-5 months for MT but it wasn't a pro.

 

SoCal seems to be the worst place on the planet to try and get a Pro period, much less without 5-10k dealer markup. My guess is you'll end up needing a long drive across a couple of states to get what you're looking for...

 

Maybe I'll just start looking in other states, because you're right, dealers here are giving me the run around.

 

Yep, I see a trip to AZ/UT/OR maybe even NM or ID to get what you're looking for! but... at least you'll get an awesome drive back in your new rig!

 

This is in the back of mine mind, but I REALLY have my heart set on a real pro. I'm not accepting that it's impossible to get yet

 

auto trader shows 8 in the country currently. 3 are over MSRP.

Looking for white. The only one was the one from Oregon. I called them but the guy said you have to outbid a deposit and get on a list. And he's said the list was long

 

What would be a good strategy for finding an out of state dealer? Any suggestions? Just start calling random ones in a state I don't mind driving to? Lol
