I talked to my dealer contact today. Heās a GM of sales and leasing (not just a sales person). Hereās what he told me.
They are getting a SR5 Double Cab 4x4 as a demonstrator February 6-8th. Then if I like it I can place my order and deposit for model and colour. They have an allocation of...
Yes they do, at least from the Motormouth review I saw. Zackās wife Andrea says all models do and is seen pumping the lever manually to raise the seat, watch from 14:15 in of the review:
Iām glad the Tacoma has gone back to its roots and a 4 cylinder. Want a turbo, get a Tundra. The small trucks have long become bloated - I know itās āmid sizeā size.
Yes we get shafted by many manufacturers with Toyota one of the leaders in that regard. Back in 2007 when the new Tundra was out it was advertised in a medium blue (Speedline blue I think it was called). They even had life size cardboard cut outs in that colour. Went to buy one, was told by...
Poor seating position in the Gen 2 and 3 is what mainly kept me away from the Tacoma for 20 years.
Excited to see the new seating position in real life.
From what Iāve read, you canāt order a Toyota truck like you order a Ram or GM. Just have to find a dealer with a similar enough allocation or one that can trade with another dealer that may have your model.
Try telling that to the Dodge Stealerships selling Challengers this past year. Either they broke the law or there is no such law. Many other brands had Dealer mark ups added as well.
There is videos out of failed Toyota/Lexus engines at 150,000 miles that had oil changed at 10k intervals. 150,000 miles is low for a Toyota.
Iād say change oil at 5000 if you want to keep your Tacoma for many miles long term. If you are in it for a few years and under 100,000 miles do what...
Ah, that makes sense. Reps can be not necessarily the most knowledgeable but for a prototype that will eventually be destroyed PR and for demonstrating purposes it make sense.
Cool to watch, though I question why heās in 4Low for most of it. Personally I did not see much use to be out of 4high in the video. I guess it could have been really sandy and bogging down.
Iād get the manual if it came on the 6 foot box.
That red Sport looks good. In Canada I donāt think itās available, so Iāve been going back and forth on the orange or blue. But Iād take that red if it was in Canada.
So if I read it right, I can get a Sport+ in SO with a 6ā bed? This is ideal for me, with Blue Crush a secondary choice also available? And BC is available in just Sport as well.
Getting excited to possibly get my first Toyota. Any dealer suggestions for the BC Mainland? Can travel a bit if a good one is further away.
From past experience I know Toyota sales/dealers are a bit obnoxious and not the best service, as I am sure there is good ones too. Theyāve really...
