Buying a new 3rd gen...

I'm going to do something I wish I had done the first time. I'm going to make a thread about this so I don't make any other mistakes.

Looking at a 2016 Inferno Crewmax with TRD Off-road Package. What are some things I should check to see if this truck has?

Is power rear windshield standard?
Is 5.7L standard?
Is the 38 Gal tank standard?

^^ Those are all must haves for me.

 

The 38 gal tank was part of the SR5 upgrade package for my truck. It comes with the shifter in the center console, not on the column

 

Yeah.. I guess Im a bit confused then. My truck is the SR5 with the center console and I have the shitty gas tank....haha

 

Is there a picture of a specific truck you are looking at? The 5.7 badge would be a dead give away as well the column shifter to see if it has the bigger tank

 

It only comes with the 5.7

 

Im hoping to swing by on Wednesday. They're holding it for me

 

Another question would be:

Do they all come with a transmission cooler and tow package?

 

My only regret is that the SR5 TRD off road package with the bench seat didn't have the 38 gal tank available. My only complaint w my truck.

 

Ill dig into that for you. However, from what I remember, ALL 5.7's (at least for 2016) came with the towing package which has the tranny cooler, bigger alternator and bigger ring gear

 

Christ, this is sound like a whole different truck than what I have now. And I say that in a good way!

 

Mine had tow package standard. 17 TRD 4x4 off rd 5.7.

 

Here is the PDF for 2016

 

I thought the sr was the only build where column shift. Bench seats, 25 gallon tank were standard..and no badges even on the 5.7l

 

Is it the TRD off road 4x4? And it needs to be the SR5 up grade package with the bucket seats for the 38 gallon tank sliding rear window and nav. If it is the 5.7 it should have the tow package

 

Just looked it up. All 5.7's get the tow package in 2016

 

'16 TRD OR will come with power rear window standard.

 

Yep, TRD Off road 4x4

 

Yessssssss, sweet! I've always been so envious of you all with this option haha

 

It was a must (and confusing when I bought mine as well) for me too!

 

Power rear window is standard on crewmax. The 38 gallon tank

actually, the power rear window is standard on crewmax, regardless of trim or package

 

Ok guys

2016 Inferno Crewmax 5.7L w TRD package

24,000 miles

Dealer is listing it at 36995

Thoughts on pricing?

 

Post failure ^^^^
What trim level?

 

I have exactly what you described. Everything was included. Not sure where you are but in Dallas, TX area, they also include sprayed bedliner and side step

BEFORE

 

SR5 I do believe
4WD too

 

What'd you pay?

 

When I was looking last month I found 2016 SR5's with nav etc that did not have the 38 gallon tank. It is like someone mention part of a package. A Toyota dealer should be able to verify off of the VIN if it has the 38 gal tank. I went to https://www.toyota.com and in the upper right is a tab called "owners", click on that and go to "Resources" then "vehicle specs" and click on that tab, then input the VIN. It told me if it came with the 38 gal tank. It also told me where it was sold and all the options that were installed and if they were factory or dealer installed.

 

In 2016, the bigger tanks were available for the 5.7's with the SR5 upgrade package. The easiest way to tell if a truck has it is if it has bucket seats with the shifter in the center console.

 

That is what I read on here but I did find 2016 SR5s that had the bucket seats with the shifter in the center console, nav etc but car dealer could not verify that is had the 38 gal tank. When you put the vin in to the Toyota site it tells you if it has the 38 gal tank. All of the Limiteds and up have the 38 so the SR5 is the only one that you need to check. It maybe that it specifically has to say "SR5 upgrade package" these didn't . They were loaded so I thought that they would have the 38.
