Plenty of ‘21 Tundras Available

Was at my local dealership getting regular maintenance service done and decided to walk around. Their new vehicle storage lot which pre Covid would have hundreds of vehicles present has been empty for some time. I was surprised to see a whole row of Tundras available. Upon closer look it was a mix of SR’s, Limiteds, Platinums, and 1794s. However ALL of them were 2WD. Seems like Toyota is trying to dump out their remaining inventories which just happens to be 2WD.

 

Yup! plenty of 2wds in my area too. Seems like they can never get rid of them lol

 

Same thing here - for most of the spring/summer they had squat....then suddenly they had like 15 new Tundras. All very nice, but all 2WD.

 

I'll take a 2wd Red Platinum.

 

i'll take any of those for free lol

 

I noticed a bunch of new ones at the dealer near me, including TWO LR Pro’s!

 

Takes fewer chips to build 4x2. Just a thought.

 

I also noticed a row of Tundras at my local dealership when I drove by last week, which is quite different than it had been over the summer, when they had none. Online they are showing that they have 13 currently in stock. 11 of them are 4x4 and 2 are 4x2.

 

Same story here in Central PA..4wd in high demand.. Not a fan of the 2x4.

 

Cant see why anyone would spend their money on a 2wd truck in any situation. Worthless as tits on a boar hog.

 

work truck in the city is one example. or someone who wants a truck but doesnt go offroading... or someone who wants to do a pre runner build. plenty of reasons

 

I find this funny cause when last year when buying my truck, the sales guy was trying real hard to convince me that plenty of people want the 2WD trucks.

 

Ill agree to disagree in every scenario concerning 2wd vs 4wd on a truck.

 

"better have it and not need it, than need it and not have it" - that's me lol so 4x4 for me

 

100%.

 

I'm trying to convince my brother to get a 2WD Tacoma, but this is interesting if he can swing it. He wants something that will last 400k miles in Alabama.

 

Id go for the tundra instead, i've been in tacomas and did not like the interior room. even my petite wife felt claustrophobic in the back seats.

 

I would go for the tundra over the Tacoma for the power and extra room and towing capabilities

 

I SEE A BUNCH OF PRERUNNERS

 

i see my wife who loves Tundra's but doesn't care about offroading owning one of these. she would love that platinum

 

My son just bought a 2021 Platinum for $3k+ off of MSRP. In today's market, that's a great purchase and he never put his Jeep into 4wd in the 5 years he owned it. With the tax differential for trading in his Jeep over selling it outright, he's $5k+ better off than by purchasing locally. We did have to drive from Corpus Christi to Austin TX to get the deal, but the dealer gave us $32k for his Jeep from pictures that I provided. It was nothing more than doing a serious eye exam of the Platinum for scratches or defects and knocking out the paperwork. Easy Peasy....

Some of that craziness should come to Canada, I would be tempted to switch a trx if someone offers me something near that.

 

I've been offered 65k trade in at a Ford dealer local to me.. a TRX is $100k+ lol

 

Well, your spouse gonna hate me

If you don't go for package 2, you can get it for 70k in the states, if someone told me pay 10k up front now and get a trx, I'd do it.

In Canada it's a very different story, it's about 140k on avg for a trx, and no one is giving discount, so at that rate I might as well wait for hummer ev or rivian.

 

Looks like I have some thinking to do! Appreciate the info

 

Best of luck, hard to say no to a 702hp truck.

 

I definitely wouldn't buy a 2WD truck anywhere that gets any significant snow. But even if I lived in the south, I don't think I'd ever go that route.

 

gas mileage? look at any contractor who comes thru your neighborhood. probably 2wd

 

Slippery boat ramps could get sketchy in non 4x4.
