    Those that agreed on MSRP… who actually received their truck?

    OP, @DillyDally Here's my thread of that spreadsheet. My intent for ALL , was to help each other and hopefully save some time. I urge those that got MSRP deals to post in this sheet so others may possibly benefit. Don't turn this into a ******* contest to see who got the best deal...

    Any recommendations for a dashcam?

    Anybody mount the rear unit outside of vehicle? I'm going to put in a rack so rear view will be complete obstructed once gear is loaded up. Wonder how the unit would hold up or find a water resistant housing that will fit. NVM, I found the answer, looks like Blackvue makes a unit just for...

    Gen3 MSRP and Dealer Markup policy worksheet

    @MarkM98 , All the dealers sites like , AutoNation, autotrader, or their own for most part are not going to show anything higher than MSRP, and many times " in transit" , " on order" etc. When I called those ones, i was told all that stock was already spoken for. Lot of this info goes into...

    Dealership wants 5k deposit for 2022's and says orders can't be placed yet

    i put down 1k deposit. I also feel if no deposit, you are not really in line. Make sure the deposit is refundable, as there are some dealers out there asking for non-refundable deposit. That is total scam. Once my order has a build date supposedly sometime Dec /Jan, then I'll get a VIN and know...

    raptor vs. new tundra trd pro

    In response to OP @ironpeddler, I had considered both but for only for few seconds. I can’t stand the front grill facia of the Tundra. I suspect TRD even with 14+ wait time will have ADM but not as bad as Raptors. Don’t kill me on this forum folks, but nobody really NEEDS a raptor, a truck in...

    Raptor is terrible!

    So sorry to hear that @hotcorner17 , concur with luck of draw. Too bad none of many issues fall under lemon law protections. I know two people here in CA had to involve lemon law attorney but after two years of their van, got all money back from monthly payments and then some. Just FYI . See...

    Gen 3 Raptor is Overpriced, you are all Insane

    Wasn't meant to give financial advice, i was trying to give original poster's "philosophy" discussion. It was very long way to say ADM is whatever one feels like paying or not.
