I paid $47,5k on a $61,3k truck - I wonder if I could do the same sale if I had to? I figured the easy access to these rebates made for the used/trade in pricing to be lower as a result.
Either way, glad to hear it worked out.

I did but the $2,000ish hit was a reasonable price for 6,400 miles plus it was better than the hassle.
Also, forgot to mention the touchy reverse sensors that locked the brakes as I back out of the garage every day or **** my wife off backing into a parking spot. The Dealer looked at it, I even gave them the code for the bulletin and they said all worked well.

Good luck with the Tundra. All reports they are rock solid. I get the constant issue can turn one away. The Ram is a damn good truck for sure but if to many issue arise no interior and ride quality will make one not concerned and looking elsewhere.

Yeah, the Tundra is old; no telematics, Entune is a joke, 6 speed tranny is ancient. But, I did stumble on a tidbit of nicety, it has a 4.30 rear end and wow it tows easy. Plus the power rear window MUST be added to all other manufacturer trucks. Oh well, many super things on the Ram too; loved the Hemi and ZF 8 speed, luxury interior and many USB's etc. I'll be back, only keep a truck for a year. FWIW picked up this in the new Cavalry Blue color.
Funny how Chev/Ram/Ford put MSRP's 12-15k above the price paid with rebates and Toyota MSRP's 4k less with less rebates and final price is about the same. 45.5 MSRP minus 2,500 in rebate and 5,310 discount for price before tax and doc of 37,690.

I had an issue with FCA dealer with my kids jeep, took to another dealer and they fixed the issues. Not sure selling a truck for paint issues and 1 dealer service shop that was jacked up is a smart move. You do know you can take the truck to any dealer right? It's like going to a Dr. if one says the knee needs replacing most people don't just say "ok". You have someone else look at it. Same thing with your new truck, take it to another dealer they get paid by FCA for any work they do so they would love to make the original dealer look bad. That increases the odds you will buy from them in the future. Pretty sure you will be selling that Tundra soon....

All trucks have issues. I looked hard at Toyota also - I love the reliability reputation but the Tundra Payload made it virtually useless for any real work. (an option light SR5 was at ~1100 lbs payload).
I loved the hell out of my 12th Gen F150 but traded in partly because of over a dozen small - medium problems.
With Toyota, you'll want to watch your camshaft towers for this common problem that could require some major engine work.

I don't know why Tundra has fallen asleep in keeping their truck up to date. They always had the best reputation for longevity, repairs and trade in or resale value. It's almost like they dont want to sell trucks anymore.
It's getting a full redesign for the 2021 model.....don't know if it's going to be too little, too late but it's happening. One concern is the Tundra and Tacoma are going to share the same frame....have no idea how that is going to work but obviously seems to be a cost saving move.

Well I got my 2019 Ram Limited two weeks ago so they are out of the running !
How in the hell would that work? Same frame, two different sized trucks? I get it with the Ford Ranger/Bronco or the Toyota Tacoma/FJ, they share the same relative dimensions .

Spends too much time on here
Ha, even their 1794 Edition is nowhere as nice. I hope for the Toy enthusiasts that they do a good job on the redesign, they should have plenty of examples of what to do and not do by following the other truckmakers. (Not do: overall the Nissan, GM)
Next-gen Toyota Tacoma, Tundra to share a frame? - LeftLaneNews
The Hilux sold in global markets will ride on the new architecture, too.

Also, for the Tundra, a dual turbo V6 hybrid is being rumored.....@ 450+ HP and 500 ft lbs tq ( & 30+ mpg claimed??!!):
Toyota Tundra next-gen said to get new hybrid V6 around 450 hp, 30 mpg - Autoblog
