I can. They last FOREVER.

Aside from the obvious benefits to you as the owner of something that doesn't break, everyone is aware of that fact, too. Consequently, they're also worth more for trade or resale than a Ford or Chevy of the same age with comparable options.

Sticker was $52,000 and I paid $45,600 for 2015 tundra. I went back and forth between dealerships in Lafayette and Baton Rouge.

Your opinion and subjective at best.

They get the worst fuel mileage and have the ugliest interior.

I have never bought a vehicle because of how it looks. Tundra's don't change because they don't have to. Something other manufacturers should take note of.

If that were all true they would sell more of them. They can't even outsell the Tacoma. Hell they barely outsold the Colorado last month.

Good one

I got $10k off the sticker

they must have had a heck of a bump sticker on that vehicle to come off that much...when i was selling vehicles i worked for toyota and the biggest mark up was of course on the platinum model and that was close to $5,500 and i think our bump stickers were around $1,500 i think. that was around that time frame too. the lower models normally had about a $3,500 mark up not including the bump sticker. every dealership will have a different amount for the bump sticker that supposedly includes nitrogen, vin etching, destination charges etc....might as well tell them to throw that in the trash because you didnt ask for all that. not even destination charges mattered on our bump sticker because if im not mistaken it was included in the "holdback" on the invoice.

Either people in this thread are liars or the dealership that went to attempts to rape people without lube. I sell very large trucks (Western Star, and Freightliner) and can tell you that the margins that you guys are claiming to get off are more than what is in vehicles of the caliber you are talking about. We have 140,000 trucks that sticker is about 25,000 over cost and we don't even list for sticker because it would never sell. If there is 15,000 in a deal then you absolutely demolished someone and that typically doesn't happen because they would figure out and our business runs off of repeat business. The cars you guys are buying do not have 10,000 in profit in them so quit saying you got that off. If you want to lie say that they gave you more for trade and came down some off of sticker. That would be much more believable.

Bought both of mine at Wolfchase Toyota

Both the Tundra and the Sequoia were platinums.

I paid a little over $40k for the tundra with a $51-52k sticker

Sequoia had a $62k sticker and I paid $56k
