EDIT: I TOOK THE PLUNGE! So I test drove a ‘25 Limited…

Congrats on the purchase @WindyPorchrocker you chose wisely!

Now head over to the Build Threads and get some ideas for "Farkles". (Adventure bike guys will know the term)

 

Beautiful truck! Congratulations!

 

So.. WHAT'S the deal??? How much did they take off the sticker?

 

I know there’s dozens upon dozens of forums about this but the only thing that drives me nuts is the auto start/stop. Bought a little disabler to make it off by default upon starting the truck, but useable when I want it. My issue is when I put it in park the truck cuts off then back on. I don’t want to have to feather the brake pedal every time I park.

 

Sticker was $68K, I got a $3000 rebate and $7200 off from the dealer so over $10k off. Other dealers in the area weren’t so generous (DC metro area)

 

Leave in Sport+ or Tow+ mode and it will not auto stop n start.

 

Damn, that's a deal. What dealership was it?

 

Ourisman Chantilly Toyota in Virginia

 

They must not advertise those discounts. Their prices aren't that good on their site. Or did you have to fight them for the 7K off?

 

There was definitely some negotiation back and forth, they came down a few thousand. I didn’t mention taxes and fees but I kept my tags so it was like $3K. I think that truck was on the lot for two months according to CarGurus so they wanted to unload it. I think the off road look must have turned city slicker buyers off in my area, I think it looks boss

 

Yeah, taxes should always be excluded, because that only applies if you are from that area. I have a buddy shopping Tundras, and if that dealership advertised the kind of discounts you are talking about I was going to have him use it as a cudgel to get a better deal here.... that, or we would be doing a road trip to get his new truck.

 

It was a great deal, but FWIW I was a cash buyer with a trade. They gave me $38K for my 2021 Titan, and have it listed for $40K on their website

 

Sport+ ?

 

Yes Sir!

 

Only the boujee folks have this.

 

*waves from King George*

I've heard a ton of people say that VA Beach is a good place to go to get deals. I'm super happy w/my 2020 but if I'm looking in the future I'll hit you up for the dealership and friends in VA Beach for the ones they use.

 

Yep. Us poors have to make due with "Sport", "Tow" and "Tow+" only.

 

.

 

Not bad for a blue collar grunt

 

Sounds good! My experience with car buying is to look for while and find the right car and salesman to make a good deal happen. I’ll post a review once I’ve owned for a while, for gen 2’ers looking to make the switch

 

She’s a real beaut Clark

 

is this from the new Hybrid? they have expanded these modes on 25 plus models?

 

This graphic is from a 2023 hybrid model I don't know how the newer versions look and would like to see the changes.

 

Awesome! I keep telling folks that the 10k off should be the 'standard' discount on Tundras those days. Of course it's not advertised and of course not all dealers will want to do it but the key is to keep looking until you find a willing one. Got the same amount (but different split: 2k rebate plus 8k dealer discount) back in October from Conicelli Toyota in Springfield, PA. In contrast to VA dealers, in PA that stupid 'processing fee' they tell you you cannot negotiate is 'only' 387 (versus 800 in MD where I and and I want to say 900 in VA?). Congrats on your purchase!

 

I have a 23 Hybrid model and I don't think mine has that many tunes loaded in it. Is this an update or something form the dealer or over the air.

 

What you're seeing is not Hybrid specific, it is specific to trim level.
Not available on your Limited.
Or possibly, not on a Limited with TRD OR package.

 

yeah I am wondering if this is for 2 wheel drive specific models?

 

Pretty sure @Blufin s is 4WD??

I believe it has to do with AVS suspension, which conflicts with TRD OR package.

 

Yes 4X4 indeed and I believe it is because of the AVS,when in Sport+ mode the graphic shows in blue what it is adjusting, in example the motor,tranny,motor generator, steering column and air shocks.

It's was a tuff decision to between the AVS or the 3" lift and I'm super stocked about the AVS.

 

ah so it is air suspension dependent, I would imagine it hauls in a sport plus setting. That is a great option, but if I had to choose between it and the TRDOR-- it is TRDOR for me, love the lockers and MTS modes.
