Official 2022 Tundra 3rd Gen Thread

Yikes. I too, couldn’t do that. Can’t believe I missed mine last night. I would have done +5k

 

My very first pro offer back in May was like that. I said gimme 5 to get home.

gone in 2.

 

I have dibs on a black Pro. $10k over msrp if anyone wants it. It was offered to me but I don’t need two and thats their markup now.

 

There's a black on black TRD Pro at Handytoyota.com (Northern Vermont) last I knew (earlier this week), if anyone is interested.

Update: I went looking online, and it looks to be gone now. Might want to call if you're interested, just in case it isn't.

Joe Myers in Houston has one. If you wanna pay 100k to a terrible dealership, it's ready!

I love how they didn’t show how he got into the truck bed especially since I didn’t see a bed step on that truck at all

 

Love the picture with the fore and background. Wish I had a nice spot like that to put my Tundra.

 

Our first thoughts on our new Tundra!

With the long wait times and supply issues in mind; If anyone in the Florida area is looking for a 1794, the local dealer (Gettel Toyota in Bradenton) has one on the floor with nobody's name on it yet.
It is listed as used, but only 190 miles on it. My understanding is that the manager has been driving it as one of his perks so they have to sell it as used.

 

Damn. Used non-hybrid for $84k

 

Should be able to still sell new with only 194 miles on it.

 

i don’t buy that explanation. If the manager had been driving it but never titled it, it could be sold as new. I bought my ‘07 Tundra this way: the Sales Mgr had been driving it and I bought it with 2300 miles AS NEW with the same financing rates as other new autos.

if it’s been titled, it’s used.

 

Ya, I'm not sure if it varies state by state, but my 22' Tundra had almost 5000 miles and was sold as new. Mine was used by a manager for 3 months.

 

Sold as new but hopefully you got some knocked off the price for it having some miles on it??

 

Ya right. It was take that one (which pretty much matched what I wanted) or wait god knows how long for the next 1794 with the 6.5 foot bed. There was someone ready to buy if I left it. It was a MSRP dealership also, so no markup.

 

SHEESH! I'm waiting til this madness is over to buy lol

 

cab off turbo repair buy back

 

Also in Bama and was trying to source one, I don't know if SET doesnt have as many allocations as the other regions but same boat hardly any allocations on 4wd Tundras available and almost every bama dealer is charging some sort of markup.

 

The manager probably thought it was a keeper and titled it to him/her self. Unless a high mileage state rule triggers it, that's probably what happenend.

Everyone should call and offer $64K.

 

Just depends. I bought my previous Tacoma with 16 miles as a used truck. The guy bought it, had it registered in his name, and was arrested the next day for white collar crime, which money he tried to use to pay for the truck. So the dealer got the truck back, but because it was registered already it was a used truck. I assume this Tundra is a similar situation with registration or something. Dealer won't sell it as used if they don't have to.

 

Wasn't there a story about some dealers registering trucks then turning around and selling them when used trucks were going for more than new ones?

 

Right if it's titled and sounds like fraud. The dealer shouldn't be doing that.

 

re: the silver 1794 in Bradenton, Fl - That's just a short drive up the road from me, and has some of the items I'm looking for ... but not for 20K more than it's worth! Next...

 

Dealer demos aren’t registered it’s odd it was registered. Sure the manager didn’t personally buy it?

 

So, front diff issues, transmission replacements, hybrid system malfunction warning lights, power steering malfunctions, screen issues, molding and body issues,....whew, the first page of the forum is starting to look like a Chevy forum....hope this changes soon. I hope they have gotten all their kinks out with the TNGA truck platform on the Tundra so the 4 runner, tacoma and Sequoia goes much smoother.

 

It truly is only a handful of trucks having these issues and 10's of thousands of them having zero issues.

 

Its more than a handful, jump off here go to reddit, FB, youtube, guys are having all kinds of QC issues. Not saying they all are a pile of trash, but its alot more than the Toyota norm and a bit concerning, even as an early adopter of the 3rd gen Tacoma, didnt see near as many issues first year.

 

ya, its more than a handful that for sure.

they do seem to be improving as time goes along. This was a ground up super complicated truck, but toyota is damn good at ironing things out, they will come through.

Im going to bet the 2023 will be much cleaner

 

I'm on all 3 all day. Majority are the same poeple posting in different places. It's not 3x the issues, you're just reading the same issues 3 times. Hell I've seen the same folks post in the FB page of 22+ owners, Tundra Nation, Tundra Owners. Which btw if you own a gen 3 stay out of the last two because it's just a circle jerk of gen 1 and 2.
