Anyone Here Recently Bought a Toyota Tundra?

3 weeks ago. Karl Malone in Ruston wouldn't come off MSRP but offered me 28k for my 2020 Silverado with 175k miles. Which was an absurd amount. But in the end the new Toyota place in Bastrop gave me the best deal. They came off mspr a fair amount and had overall better price than Karl Malone or Van Trow. I got a limited for less than the others were selling the SR5 or whatever

How was their selection. Did they have more than a few on the lot?

I drove one as a rental last week. Now I have the fever.

I’m afraid to even tempt myself by looking at new trucks since I have zero reason to get rid of my 2016 Tundra. I got the fever last year and fought it off after seeing the crazy prices.

I can't imagine paying $20k more for a truck than I did in '17... I hope mine lasts 30 years.

I know I'm old but I distinctly remember my parents freaking out about the early Tahoe's MSRP being $24k or so and them saying there's no way that was sustainable! You can't stand close to one today for under $60k.

Does it have Carplay/Android Auto? May sound trivial, but I could never have another truck without those.

Had a 2023 F150 as a loaner while mine was in for tires / warranty work. Wireless Carplay is very noice.

I bought 2 Tundras from Fred Haas here in H-town. One in 2014 and then in 2017 after the 2014 one flooded in Harvey. Granted I live here but I imagine they probably have the best selection of probably any dealer in the Gulf area. I don't know what the hassle would be to buy a vehicle here and transfer but both of the Tundras I bought were much cheaper than any dealer I compared to local or out of state.

I have had a nightmare ongoing electrical issue with my 2020 AT4. The mf'er won't start half the time. I'm throwing in the towel and giving up.

I bought one at the beginning of the year. It was very trim dependent at the time, the only thing on the lot was undesirable models. I got like 2k off msrp but the truck had a lot of distributor options. In hind sight, I could’ve saved the most by getting a truck that had ONLY factory options, I refused to pay for the dealer add ons but there were quite a few distributor options like the TSS package. I like those options but I think they are overpriced for what they are.

I was scared of the v6 but it has a ton of power and I still get 19-20 combined driving. It’s a nice truck for sure. I recently had a 3 liter duramax rental and it got like 26 mpgs while I had it. It wasn’t short on torque, nice truck also.

You may try John Harvey Toyota in Bossier, Shapen Toyota Marshall Tx. Good luck baw

I bought my ‘23 TSS from Greg LeBlanc in January after my 13 y/o silverado bit the dust. Got it for 3k below MSRP. It was still expensive, but I wasn’t about to pay those assholes at Lakeside or Northshore 3-5k MVA on top of MSRP. It’s been a solid truck for me so far and pulls my boat just fine. No problems with it so far. I just don’t care for the grille and am thinking about putting one of the TRD Pro/heritage grilles on it. I actually hit 18,000 miles today heading back to the northshore. My average combined city/hwy mpg is 20-22, so I’ll take that all day with a full size pickup.
