What's the chatter on the 2018's?

Really? Damn, good to know! When I was commuting to work (and thus buying mostly Honda brand) the manual options only saved ~$500 or so -- if anything at all. I say manual all the things!

 

That's not that good of a deal. My 2017 Limited with a few OEM options (tonneau, steps, bed light) was $4,900 off MSRP and that was back in May.

 

that was a great deal when I purchased my 4x4 16 limited in april 2016 I got $2400 off msrp.

 

Just found my truck, so I know they are building them....
Only problem is this is in MA....

I ran the VIN through the Toyota Owners site to see what options were installed on it.

 

Nice! How did you find it? Through Toyota or a 3rd party site?

 

Third party site, searched nationwide on cars.com for manual TRD Off Road cement.

 

Just out of curiosity, do you have any documents showing that is what you paid?

 

Now THAT is hideous.

 

The first thing that popped in my head when seeing that nasty tan leather

 

Ha, my grandparents had those exact chairs!

 

I would consider just working with a competitive-price dealer and "order" the exact truck you want from the factory. I just did this. The downside is that I may have to wait longer than if I was searching wide and driving far for an already-made truck. The problem is, we could not find an existing truck in inventory anywhere (yet) that had the exact specs I wanted. So I said screw it, let's just order it!

 

Took between 3 and 4 months to get my 17 after ordering, but it was worth the wait.

 

I am fine with 3 or 4 months, I would actually prefer it.
I am going to drop by the local dealership one day this week at lunch and have a chat with the sales manager and my sales guy to see what we can come up with.

 

Yep, I think that's at the longer end of the wait spectrum but it's possible. I can deal with it. Hell, I figure it's just extra time I can enjoy without a car payment. I can save more money for my upgrades, too.

 

My same thought process....
Hell, I want to order stuff now with the Black Friday, holiday pricing..... But I need to hold off until I have the keys to the truck, should the deal fall through. I need to be able to walk away....

 

Can we see some unaltered docs on that?

Gsabe above calls BS on that.

I am curious as well.

 

Would the dealer let you have 265/75R16 for the same price?


For those who have waited 3-4 months after ordering, were you able to keep your previous car until delivery? I'm guessing yeah, but thought I'd ask anyways.

 

No dude they took it - It really sucked to be without a car for 3 months... Geeeze

 

Thanks for the heads up. If this were a 3rd vehicle I wouldn't care, but this will replace my daily driver.
