    I'm looking around for a '16 Platinum Crewmax 4x4. I've gone through the sales process with one dealer and the prices they gave weren't close to the good deals I found in the pricing Forum on here.

    I'm here to learn and help others, where I can.

    Welcome! In my area Platinum's go for right around $50K. $48K if you get lucky.

    Just doing a quick search here in Oklahoma prices for a platinum or 1794's seem to hang around 48k-53kimage.jpg
    This is the dealer I got mine from and they were the only one in the state that would entertain any sort of negotiations.
    Good luck in your search! Deals are out there.

    Try starting with services provided by Costco, your credit union or bank, Edmunds and finally Toyota.com to find trucks in your area. Change the zip code to include nearby areas in your search criteria to coincide with the distance(s) you are willing to travel.

    I shopped for a little over a year and I knew all the inventory in my area, but I LOVE auto shopping. I also drove 100 miles (one way) to get the truck, but I don't mind the trip to save $. Let me know if I can help.

    I was able to talk the dealer down to 45k for a platinum but eventually changed my mind I wasn't ready for the 700$ payments
