No 5.7L for 2008 RCSB?

NickBrewer · #1 (**permalink**) 12-11-2007, 12:01 PM

I went to Toyota's website and did the Build your Tundra and it does not appear that you can get the RCSB with anything but the V-6 and 2WD, is that true, or is the website just not up to date?

I doubt that. Probably a misprint. Just checked go to build a tundra you can do it there.

Well, I did a bit more digging on the Toyota website and under the Tundra Specifications it does show the 4.7L and the 5.7L being available as well as 4x4, so I guess their Build Your Own feature is not setup properly to allow you to select those options on the RC.

I too had the same problem as you when I was looking. Toyota's website would allow me to build it. Went to the dealership and they had one on their lot. I bought it! Just what I wanted.

Offering an RCSB without the "big stick" would be something idiotic like GM might do.

It's an oversight with the 'build your tundra' webpage. It didn't work last year, apparently nobody has done a lot with it.

With all the RCSBs out there with the 5.7, they would catch holy he** if they didn't orrer it in 08. That's Toyota's new Rocketship.......

It's NOT a oversight. It's what zip code you use to build the truck. In my area there are NO RC Tundra's except V-6 models in 2 wheel drive and we can't order one by the online site. However, you put in for example a Texas zip code and you can build one. Try building one using my zip 14086

I'm not sure about this. I put in the dealer's zip code for the build. Still nothing. It's the dealership I bought the truck from. Also, if you are thinking..maybe it was a dealer trade. Nope, the window sticker has the original dealer as my dealer..So I have to disagree with you.

I guess you haven't heard of
New Car Prices | Used Car Values - Official Kelley Blue Book Site
Kelley Blue Book - Toyota - Select a Model
I checked out this site and they list the 2008 Toyota Tundra RCSB in a 5.7 in 2wd and 4wd. I have been using this website for years now to see what used cars are worth and have built new cars and ran a locator on that cars I built and can see the dealership inventory. Good luck.

Yup. I was in the same boat you were in. I went to the Toyo dealership and they had one sitting on their lot. I didn't believe them because 90% of the time they're full of sh*t, but there she was!

The Toyota Mafia is well known for only offering certain models in certain regions. Finding ANY RCSB's in the Carolinas' is like finding gold in a river bed. The zip code thing follows Toyota's regional policy. Go to the main site and you can build anything, but try to build one with a zip code and its like Russian Roulette, you never know what you'll get.

I couldn't find exactly what I wanted in GST, so I found a dealership in SET that could and ordered one. I will have to go to North Carolina to pick it up, but that's a small price to pay. Why Toyota allows these regions to control Toyota is beyond me.....it's like the tail waggin' the dog. But then, what do I know about big business?? I guess nuttin'!
