I’m having a real problem trying to get a new Tundra and don’t understand what the problem is. I’m looking for a ’07 Tundra DC, LTD, 4WD, 5.7, Silver, with NAV, and don’t really care about other options.
I’ve been trying to order one from my local dealer since Feb 28, but all they’ve done so far is take a deposit and confuse me with “preference orders” and so on without getting a truck. They have a $500 deposit so they know I’m serious, and they’ve done a reasonable “deal”, but it’s not a deal if they can’t get the truck. As of today he has 2 possible order trades with other dealers, but this has happened unsuccessfully before so I’m not very optimistic about it. Apparently the “preference order” isn’t getting picked up by Toyota.
Why I can’t just put in an order and have them build a truck. I’ve done this in the past with GM, but the dealer is saying Toyota doesn’t work that way. What’s up? Is Toyota getting uppity now they are nearly #1 in sales? Even if so, I wouldn’t think a Silver LTD 4x4 with NAV would be that hard to come up with. At this point I don’t know whether to wait for something that doesn’t seem to be happening, wait for a ’08, or buy a Silverado next year when they have the 6 speed tranny.
And also, don’t even get me started about towing mirrors
