They have them...... If you really want one then order one or go online and find the one you like negotiate with that dealer for a price then travel to it. If you really mean what you said do the research and get one. You can also negotiate with the person online at a local dealer. Good things come to those who wait. Telling us you're going to Ford only tells me you want a silver spoon handed to you and you didn't really want a Platinum series Tundra. Either tell me about how you're doing trying to get a Tundra or don't waste everyone's time crying about it. It only comes in 4 colors also. Black, Salsa Red Pearl, Silver Sky Metallic, and Slate Metallic. Tommy, Rebates……..

I've been in the market for a truck for 2 months now and every dealer I've been to only have about two tundra in the lot. Out of the 6 dealers I've been to only one has the so call tundra platinum that I'm interested in and it was not the right color. I can order a new tundra but every discussion I've had with toyota salesman, if I order, they would not come down on MSRP price. Who the hell pays MSRP for a car!!! Tundra is off my list now. Off to the Ford dealer to start looking at the F150 platinum. Toyota dealers are really starting to piss me off.

The article is clear - the Tundra is in short supply (see USA Today article referencing JD Power). While the downside to this strategy is that it hampers the total sales volume (Toyota is likely missing sales because of a lack of availability), in our opinion the positives (higher perception of value, support for Toyota's "quality" story, better resale) outweigh the sales lost. Your opinion seems to be that the Tundra isn't popular because Tundra sales volumes are lower than Ford's F150. If that's true, most vehicles fall into the same category - the F-series is one of the best-selling vehicles in the world. Ford deserves credit for making a great product, but I think you're missing our point: consumers are hot for the Tundra. They're buying them as fast as Toyota can make them.

The 1-3 I have seen on the local lots are either stripped tundra grade work trucks or 1 of them worth 40K on up all decked out limited model being too expensive. Where are all the SR5 middle of the road tundras that I would think are the best selling mid-level trucks out there if only dealers had them to sell?
