Who has a new 2022? Post your new truck pics here!!

It is, right?
I don't blame my original salesman (I was told 5-6 months when I put a deposit down) for not delivering truck within promised timeframe. At the same time he can't blame me for walking away if I find it somewhere else. The only problem I see it was never mentioned that deposit of $1500 was non-refundable until months later. But I don't think they will make a problem with refunding it. I am up for a fight if they do.
I just spoke with the Black Limited TRD dealer this morning and I will give it a shot.

 

Our first dealership (the Lunar Rock one) had no idea what was going on with allocation after 6 months. Then we found our Black one at another dealer. Once we drove the truck off the lot, we went back to the other dealer and simply got our deposit back. There was no argument from them. I think because there was nothing allocated to us, it was pretty easy. This dealership has since had a few different color/trim trucks come in but never reached out to us to see if we were interested, seems like they are just letting the trucks sell themselves.

 

I am not really sure how everything works here in Canada. By allocations you mean when the dealer knows the ETA? If that's the case then yeah, my salesman has no clue. Nothing. He wouldn't even tell me how long before the ETA he would know about it.

 

I think it shows up on some internal screen that tells them it's coming along with a description. If there is nothing on the way, they have nothing to tell you. Last April we were 10th in line. Then in July we were 92nd in line? This didn't make any sense so we started pushing for more info on this. I told the salesman that it didn't compute, and how could a dealership not sell more than 9 trucks in 4 months. That's when we discovered that they had no idea and that the deposit we left had no bearing on anything. This is when we started looking elsewhere and it didn't take log to find our truck at a different dealership that actually had it in this allocation program and gave us a date (end of September) on when it would delivered and ready for us (about 2 weeks for this all to happen).

 

finally got some decent pics, not ideal but those will come probably spring.

 

Thats a good looking truck. I would get those fender flares wrapped the colour of the truck

 

That's a good idea, but it will be expensive

 

Those are awesome pictures. Toyota should pay you to use those.

 

I just picked it up yesterday. SR5 TRD off road premium with TRD skid plate and TRD wheels. I really love it so far.

 

thanks!

 

just noticed on my frontal pic, i dont see a headlight gap like previously stated by others. build was 8-dec-22.

 

Just picked up my 2023 Tundra Limited Hybrid Lunar Rock w/ TRD OR yesterday after 1.5 years on the waiting list. Long story short. I put a deposit down at another dealership back in July 2021 who honors MSRP and no dealer add-ons, unfortunately there was a long wait. Randomly yesterday I decided to look around and found this. They sold it to me at MSRP but it had $2k dealer add-ons (paint protection blah blah). Couldn't wait any longer so I pulled the trigger.

 

Great looking truck. I have the same but in white. I wanted Lunar, but when a white hybrid Limited TRD offroad became available, I jumped on it.

 

Picked her up today. Sad to see the Ridgeline go, but this is soo much better.

Now I get too figure out how to keep the interior clean . . .

Paid $3,750 under MSRP with zero add ons. $750 was military, but times have sure changed!

 

Congratulations!!! Nice looking truck.

 

Sure is exciting! I feel irresponsible trading a perfectly good Ridgeline in. That truck was the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned....I just didn't love it and my trailer was unable to be towed by it

 

One month in on the first road trip.

 

What year Ridgelines did you guys have? I had a 2013 (gen 1), not a lick of a problem at 88k miles. Well, OK, it did have the dreaded gas tank hanger strap rust problem (advertised as a frame rust problem) that took FOREVER for Honda to figure out and the process was like a comedy show at Honda. But at the time I thought the Ridgeline was the best general purpose highway vehicle I've ever owned, now my 2023 1794 TRD takes that title...it's outstanding on the highway.

 

I had a 2019 Touring Edition Ridgeline. We used it for work and pulled our 4,500 lbs Airstream around for almost 3 years. It did a great job of pulling and drove like a car! We got a good trade in for the Tundra. I found that the tech seemed sluggish and dated compared to my older BMW, however, the Tundra seems to be much better!

 

That's a pretty hefty trailer for the Ridgeline. I towed a UTV on trailer 2500 pounds total and concluded that is just about the practical max for the Gen 1 Ridgeline. But yea, on the highway one could think it was a good highway car. And that under bed trunk was the best feature of all. But alas I'm looking forward to my first cross country road trip in the 1794 Tundra.

 

The trailer came in around 4,200 lbs and 500 pounds on the tongue and with a WDH it ran close to level.

The setup never felt overloaded but the brakes in the Ridgeline were never really inspiring. We were under all the maximum capacities when towing but the Tundra does give us more headroom.

 

Looks good. That's pretty well max'ed out for sure. You're in fine shape with your Tundra now

 

I had a 2021 Ridgeline. I sold my F-350 during the height of the pandemic b/c people were overpaying for trucks and I took a job that used a parking garage...one that did not allow the F-350 to fit.

I have an 8.5' x 20' enclosed trailer that's been parked for two years b/c the Ridgeline isn't able to move that kind of trailer safely. I bought the Ridgeline to wait for the new Tundra.

I now have the Tundra. Ridgeline had 16k perfectly executed miles on it. The tech was terrible and the Black Edition was an insult for being a top of the line trim...but the vehicle is an excellent vehicle for what it is.

 

Just got this yesterday. Placed a deposit last June. Was in no rush. LR was first color choice. This was second.

 

Here’s my 23 TRD Pro

 

2023 Platinun, 2.5/1 leveling kit/lift, 295/65 Ridge Grapplers and 20% tint are what I’ve done so far.

 

Picked her up on Tuesday!!

 

Some Pikes Place action…
