    New member and first post.
    I've selected the 2021 SR5 Tundra DC, 4x4, TRD Off Road Pkg. and 8'1" bed for my possibly last vehicle. In the past, I've always been able to go to the dealer and sit down with the fleet person and spec out my vehicles.
    Is that not possible with the Toyota Tundras?
    I talked to a young salesman that was obviously, wanting to sell the trucks that they had in inventory and of coarse his response was there were none available in a five state region.
    I've been in the auto sales industry as a the fleet manager for many years at a Ford dealer in Texas, but for the last thirty years have been a real estate broker.
    I'm in the Houston area"The Woodlands" and ready to pull the trigger if I can get some dealer to be a little more open minded about what I would like to buy.

    Best,

    Ray

    Call around, someone will enjoy talking to you. I'd ask for the manager and ask them to recommend a sales person that fits your needs. You could also do everything online with most dealerships.
    ...and Welcome from CT!

    Toyota dealers in GST do not typically have a fleet manager. Reason being is you can order directly from Toyota for fleet sales. Someone will eventually take your order just keep calling around.

    Hey! Welcome from right around the corner in Houston. I purchased my vehicle from Gullo Toyota - Conroe. Talk to Chase Grice - He’s in charge of internet sales. I believe he’s a manager now. Worth a shot to see if he has some insight on how to get what you’re looking for. He was great for me! Best of luck.
