Hey Im lookin at buyin an 05 toyota tundra double cab 4x4 with the 4.7l. Its only got 67k on the clock and has the trd pkg. can anyone tell me their luck with their tundra, what the trd pkg offers, and what you pull with your truck. Also the dealer is asking $16,900 is that a lil much.

 

never pay what the sticker says at the dealership, theres always room to work down the price. what does nada say for the value? ive always done that and just say this is what ill pay and heres why and then show them the nada print out. worked for my friend too.

 

what is nada? kinda like kbb?

 

nada stands for (national automobile dealer association) its alittle more accurate than kbb.

thanks, i figured it was along those lines... guess i could have used the google-o-tron.

/hijack off

bump

 

its all good, you must me a newbie lol

 

Well nada on the truck is around 18-20k they came off sticker $1000 it still seems kinda steep but hey its a Toyota right. Anyone had any experience with the tundra.

 

Good truck. Great motor! My 03 is at 160,000 miles. It's still comfortable and easy to drive, decent gas mileage, able to haul anything I require and takes the four of us camping pretty much where ever we decide to go.

My inlaws have an 06 DCab and that extra 30 HP the VVTi version makes walks away from mine on a straightaway and the darn thing gets better mileage than mine!

Buy it, you'll probably like it and be happy with it.....

Oh yeah the TRD package is pretty much just a set of Bilstein shocks and some stickers....maybe the springs are a little different but I've heard varying information about those.

 

Well I bought it... so far I like it a lot. Only concern so far is my oil pressure is below the half mark...where does Urs run. Thanks a lot guys

 

congrats on the new truck! does it come with the new truck smell too? lol im not to sure about the oil pressure but im sure as long as its not all the way to the low or high high side it should be ok.

 

Here is the only pic I have so for...

No it dont have the new truck smell, but its got the new truck smell. Im steppin in it from my 85 toyota pickup and my 02 ford dually. Compared to the two its a cadallac.

 

the second smell is suppose to be feel.

 

Well I feel like a total tard. I had the conversation w/the dealer that the pickup was 4x4 and didn't question it. Got to lookin and guess what...its not.

 

I'll be trying to take it back tomorrow but don't know how well that ll work

 

ooooohhhh, TRD, that should have a rear locker! i want!

 

Sorry, Tundras are LSD only, no locker

It is a nice looking truck though....

 

They offered to take it back but I went ahead and decided to keep it.

 

you should have at least gotten some cash back! the price difference in a 4x2 and a 4x4 is at least 2grand. probably more.

 

I still got it below book retail so I still came out just not as good as intended. The salesmen didn't know it wasn't either and said it was which is why they offered to take It back.
