Came across this wonderful forum while researching price information on the new gen Tacos. Considered Ranger and GMC Canyon, but scratched the GM off the list due to their issues with transmissions and possible other QC problems. So its down to Toyota and Ford, but am partial to Toyota for its legendary reliability, build and materials quality (compared to Ford) and not the least the availability of manual transmission.
Did the build sheet on the Toyota website and sent it out for a dealer quote to get an idea of how things work as this will be (hopefully) the first new vehicle that I special order. Had one of the local dealers reach out. According to the sales rep there may be a delay in getting the TRD 4x4 with manual transmission. He also pointed out that they if they are able to get me on the list, they would sell the truck for no less than $2k over MSRP (came down from $5k at the start of the conversation without any real grinding). I understand that the new Tacomas are hot and luckily I am not in dire needs of getting one right away. Still, would like to see if there are any contradictions to what the forementioned sales rep told me and if there are deals out there. I would consider getting a truck from an out of state dealer but not sure how that would conflict with California smog regulations, unless all trucks sold in the US are 50 state legal...
