Tundra TRD Sport

[brotharon]

Sorry if this is in the wrong spot, didn't see anywhere else to post this at.

Well, I am almost done with my current rotation to the technology capital of the world, Afghanistan. I was really looking at getting an X-Runner, but the other day was looking at Tundras and found the TRD Sport Tundra...I love it, and I got the nod from the wife on buying one...problem is that there is not one available within 500 miles of my house...anyone have any idea how long it takes to order one from the factory? How does that work with rebates and everything? I have never ordered a vehicle from the factory before, so this is all new territory to me. :top:

[trd_sport]

^ you guys talking about rear fender gap? LOL that's nothing!!

What is the difference between the sport and regular tundra?

 

[brotharon]

TRD Sport Tundra has sport tuned suspension (Tundra forum says it is about 2" lower than a regular Tundy), blacked out grille and bumpers, debadged on sides and tailgate, 20" forged alloy wheels, billet aluminum shifter and pedals, and sport cloth seats...oh and it has a rollpan on the rear instead of a rear bumper...

I likey this TRD Tundy!!

Why go for the Tundra over the X? Do you need a full size truck? You may as well save some coin by getting the X and using that extra money for MODs :top:

I likey this TRD Tundy!!

I could rock that!

 

[brotharon]

I would rock it too

As far as pricing goes, I got a quote from a dealership at $28,636.00 before tax, title, and license for the Tundy, so it is only like 4k more than a new X. No, I do not need a full size truck, but I am sure that I can find some uses for having one. Would have been nice to have when the Army moved me from Washington State to Georgia :thumpdown: Only problem with the dealer that quoted me that price is that they do not have one...:dontknow::hmmmm2:

 

[Gutz]

^^Great choice!!! I'll sell ya mine......................................NOT! Good luck, be safe!!

 

[lvxr]

those are sweet...is this only available in single cab?

 

[brotharon]

Nope, it is available in single and double cab, but not in the crew cab. The double cab has plenty of room for anyone from what I have been told...I hear that the crew cab is ridiculously huge..:crinklehair:

Usually takes about 30-45 days to special order it. I ordered mine back in December when our region was first allocated them. The truck showed up about 2 weeks ago.

I have the only one within 500 miles sitting out front right now:laugh:

Thanks, G. I will shoot him an email when I get back home

I removed my email address...but shoot me a PM if you need anything:top:

I likey this TRD Tundy!!
