Is this a good deal on this barebones Tundra?

Looking at a new 2018 Tundra, CrewMax 5.7L SR5 4WD. Completely bare bones, no SR5 upgrade, no TRD, no extra accessories. I like it like that especially because I want to put my own aftermarket mods, and I like the bench seating instead of buckets.

Dealership quoted $36500- is this a good deal for this vehicle?

 

I got my 2018 Tundra Trd Sport for 38500, has nav, upgraded audio, bed rail kit, and the ever important TRD shift handle.

That price seems way high for a bare bones Tundra

 

What price would seem fair to you for bare bones?

 

2wd or 4wd?

 

Not sure?
I like the TRD packages, my previous 2 were TRD ( one was a limited)

Where are you located?
Think that may be a huge factor!?!

 

Sorry, neglected to mention. 4WD

 

What do you find most useful about the TRD?

 

I don’t think that’s a bad price for a 4wd CM....

 

The seats, center column shift, the wheels

 

Exactly...and it does depend your location as far as price. Bare bones is GOOD! DIY! Do it your way. Why spend thousands $$ more for crap you don't want. You clearly want a truck...not a nanny ride!

 

I bought my bare bones 2017 SR5 for $34,500.

 

SEE!!!^^^ Now we are talking!! (GO DUCKS by the way!)

 

Update: got the price down to $35700

 

No, completely bare bones. I wanted the bench seats (we have big family), which I would lose with the 38 gallon tank.

 

Crew Max makes it more expensive.

 

I thought the 38 gal was the smallest you could get at 2016 and up.

 

If you don't get the SR5 package, the tank is 26 gal.

 

The largest.

 

I almost bought a bare bones tundra but it was the regular quad cab with the smaller back doors and bigger bed
5.7. Iforce. 4x4 ac. Cruise. Bench seat. Cloth Smaller gas tank. was quoted 35,000. In Oregon if that helps

 

So a DoubleCab?

 

4 doors,, just the doors in back are not as big as the crew max.

 

Wow! What a transformation!

 

Yeah, that is what parallax is describing.

 

I don't think that's bad. There are very few Tundras I have seen in SC for that price, new.

 

Shocks
CAI
Exhaust
Sway bars (added rear and upgraded front)
Stamped bed side panels
Color keyed bumper corners
Bad A grille

 

Just a heads up on the bench seat, it sucks.

There is a huge raised portion of the floorboard right in the middle area making it a very uncomfortable ride for someone who has legs. You also lose out on all the storage that the big middle console provides. And last but certainly not least, you can't upgrade to a kickass TRD shifter.

 

You’re thinking of the pro. He’s talking TRD sport or TRD off-road.

 

Ahhh
Oops!

 

Agreed.

Also, I wouldn’t really consider that bare bones. It’s a 4x4 crew max SR5. The “grade” ones are the bare bones.

Seems like a decent price.

 

In Northern California I've been getting quotes of $38k for 5.7, SR5, double cab, 4x4 with SR5 upgrade package if that helps......
