Rows & Rows of Tundras

Rows & Rows of Tundras here at the Vancouver Washington Toyota, but no TRD pros or iMax’s

 

Recalls, used and traded in due to issues/recalls, and slower sales due to inflation probably don't help.

 

I take that back. I did find one pro on the lot. 2024 Terra demo.

 

I've noticed the Toyota dealers by me haven't had hybrid, except for the rare TRD Pro, in about 4 months. Did Toyota stop making them for a while?

 

Yeah, most dealers round these parts have every flavor, minus the capstone, that one could want.

 

That is Terra, not Mesquite.

 

fixed...

 

Vehicles are piling up at every dealership. Now is the time to buy. I bet there will be some fire sales come January.

 

Waiting for Toyota to stop making Hybrid Sequoia, could use more third row leg room and cargo space.

 

This is probably partly due to Vancouver Toyota sales department still operating like the internet doesn't exist. I've purchased two new Toyota trucks in the last ten years and neither from them, despite living 10 minutes away.

 

Around here they can't give them away, they just get recalled and given back. I'm so glad I got that V8. I feel like mad max. Lol

 

I'd rather take my chances with a recall..

 

I like the million mile reputation much better than the engine failure reputation

 

Every time I hear that V8 through the TRD exhaust, I am really happy with my decision.

 

I saw Stellantis dealership yesterday. They had Jeeps and RAMs spilled to the side of freeway. The dealership itself is packed so tight that you can't toss a coin between two.

 

Same around here, every trim in every color. If a guy wanted a ram he could get exactly what he wanted

 

I would pay for RAM in a "million miles no problems" color.

 

When I was looking at a Gladiator, glad I came to my senses before that became a reality, in 2021, they were months away. Now, I can have my pick of the litter and they have cash on the hood. There's a company thats taking on water and going down.....

 

I get the feeling a 2500 6.2 is in my future because Ford has priced the F250 right out of my mind.

Edit: let's petition Toyota to make a compromise. I'll take a hilux and we can 3UR swap it to meet emissions.

 

How many miles on it ? ... if someone looking for a Pro, sure you could get a discount (rare) on this one, esp with 25's coming out now.

 

Have tried to get a service quote? It's like they just don't want to do any service either.

Almost 2k for a water pump, belt and pullies. I laughed.

 

Those are the Loaners for the failed ones coming in. Bummer to see on Reddit today a May ‘23 build, unlisted, engine bearing let go at 31K today. I’m in that boat but less miles - Yikes.

 

but dealer would rather let those vehicle go to auction and take a lost than discount them...

 

My local dealer a medium sized metro dealer has 33 Tundras on their website new and used. 20 of them are 25s on the lot or in bound. Just a couple leftover 24s and about 10 used.

Last spring when I was in for a service they had over a 100. Rows of Tundras everywhere you looked. When I was in couple months ago it was rows upon rows of Tacos. Appears dealer has converted their allotments from Tundra to Tacos

 

Perhaps some of the buildup of inventory is due to “election pause”. The thinking that things may change dramatically after an administration changeover. Hoping interest rates will improve soon, maybe even some increase in incentives. Could just be that the general populace is broke rn.
