Jim - are you seriously going to argue that Toyota NEVER offered special interest rates and rebates??

As of right now, you can purchase a Tundra with either at least a $2000 rebate or get 0% financing for 48 months. This is less than they offered in the month of July ($3000 and 1.9% to my recollection).

This is extremely uncharacteristic of Toyota. Most Toyota products are offered with very small rebates or minor rate concessions, if any at all. Especially when they’re brand new.

However, now that a few months have passed, it’s clear that the Tundra’s slow launch has been made up for by the sales of the CrewMax, as we have predicted Toyota will meet it’s sales goals.

Nonetheless, it has to be acknowledged that Toyota’s strategy of offering big discounts to move a new model isn’t sustainable.

Hopefully he didn’t get paid for this article. First Toyota has never offered customer cash and the financing rates. You choose one or the other, not both. Second, maybe the dealers have a lot of the Tundras on their lot because Toyota anticipated the demand and made a lot of them.
Didn’t finish reading his article as I figured it was just as inaccurate throughout.

I have a 2000 Tundra and it fits me and my wallet quite well. The new Tundra has me feeling like I am sitting in my living room, key word being ROOM. Very simply, it is too big! Americas economy is facing increasingly more challenging ( read that as expensive ) times. The dollar is dropping and inflation is warming up, hence I am surprised that Toyota didn’t emphasize efficiency over the same old, same old.

5000 miles on my 2007 Tundra double cab now and I haven’t had any vibrations. It’s the best the truck I’ve ever had. I like the gauges and have no difficulty seeing them in the daylight. What a tow vehicle. Couldn’t be happier.

I have owned 5 Cheve trucks and the Tundra seems to be the best truck I have ever had. The handling, ride, performance, is awesome, not to mention 17.8 and 18.4 mileage traveling. I also got 14.8 pulling a pretty heavy boat. It’s styling has Cheve looking like a ol’ work truck. I love the truck.

I recently received my 2007 Toyota Tundra SR5 Double Cab 4X4 after ordering in March 2007. Dealer advised that the demand for the new Toyota Pickup is outstanding. I can believe this is true as I am totally impressed with this truck. I have found the handling, ride and performance is everything that I had hoped for and more.
Test drive this truck before you purchase any other.
