I think you're right. Dianne is looking for a regular cab long bed for me and tells me that are only a few in the pipeline for the whole western USA.
Yeah, I went and got mine in NC. Got tired of waiting on the local dealers.I think you're right. Dianne is looking for a regular cab long bed for me and tells me that are only a few in the pipeline for the whole western USA.
I'm not sure how you define "work" truck, though -- mine is basically intended as a work vehicle, but I want an SR5 anyway 'cause my arm gets real sore if I have to roll the window up and down myself. :clown:
We just got a slate metalic regular cab long bed 5.7L In today ,,, Did not see if it was 2wd OR 4wd..I think you're right. Dianne is looking for a regular cab long bed for me and tells me that are only a few in the pipeline for the whole western USA.

Work trucks are usually reg cabs white, long bed, non-SR5, regular steel wheels, may or may not have a floor mat, vinyl flooring instead of carpet, may or may not have power windows, most likely will have a bench seat, no chrome, cloth seats, basic cd/AM/FM radio. Basically a plane jane boring truck to most people . But just like you, I like this model and with a 5.7L its a sleeper. Ya long beds are hard to come by. A dealership in San Diego just got a white SR5 reg cab, standard bed, 5.7 , so I'll take a look at it this weekend if it is still available.I think you're right.

Actually, I am really a misfit in this thread
'cause not only am I looking for one of them fancy-schmancy SR5s but Dianne talked me into wimping out with a 4.7. So it will be my slightly slower and slightly cushier work truck...
That's true. If you don't really need the power of 5.7 and you need the truck now, then 4.7 will do. But if you want to go all out get the 5.7. Have the dealer order it for you. Toyota of Escondido has one, white SR5, 5.7 standard bed. Contact the Fleet/internet sales---Rick Taylor, and just tell them Art from Perris gave you the info. I have not seen it yet. I'll look at it this weekend --if it is still available. If you want it, you can have it. I'll just wait for another one. No monetary gain for me here. Just good people at that dealership.Actually, I am really a misfit in this thread
I actually started by considering the V-6 but for just over a grand you get a V-8 and a tow package, too. Outstanding value, I figure...
Same with me: bulky but light equipment - surfing, windsurfing boards, sails... Sometimes need to drive on beach... End up getting White SR5 DC LB 5.7 4WD :tu:
Guess what??? I got the RCSB 5.7L in Super White SR5!!! It is a blast to drive. More agile than the DC versions. Very sporty. Bucket seats, floor shifter, etc. Good sound system, disc changer. Big improvement from my 06 Reg Cab. You should put the 5.7 on order. Its a reg cab, so its not gonna be too much of a gas guzzler compared to DC, Crewmax, 4x4 models.Actually, I am really a misfit in this thread
