What’s the process like with going through Jim? And was 50k your price out the door?
No sales tax since I live in Montana. $47271+$464 doc fee out the door.

It’s in allocation now and estimated delivery early to mid July. So the process isn’t complete, but I’m not concerned.

Dug around pretty hard to make sure he was legit..Then I texted Jim telling him what I was looking for. I had zero leads on a Tacoma with 8 speed auto with SDM. The only compromise was Not having Bronze Oxide, and staying under 47K, He found me 1 in about a week! I drug my feet for a few days and nearly missed this one, got lucky and Jim found one the other customer wanted with more options, Gave him the deposit through Venmo, 2 days later the dealership called to verify a couple things to complete the reservation. Now it’s just wait for a delivery date. And book airline tickets

No games or BS here’s the price take it or leave it. The only complication is the dealership is 2100 miles away from me! So the wife and I decided to fly out together and make a vacation out of it.

If the truck is only an allocation, why did you need to compromise on color and being under $47k? Was he saying those two things will never exist or are you on a time line?

Not exactly in the market for a new rig myself per say. But a similar build in Bronze Oxide would be my choice. Preferably zero PIO and TRD Offroad package only.

sdm is a tough options to get. Doesn’t seem like they’re building many with it. Most of my Tacomas sell while in freight or allocation with these discounts so rarely have much on the lot to choose from.

I prioritized SDM over Bronze Oxide. I’m sure I could have waited for a Bronze oxide with Sdm but it probably would have been a long wait? My Tundra is sold so timing was a factor as well. My local dealership could only find 1 8 speed auto with SDM in the region and it was sold, for now it seems to be a very uncommon feature.

Good move. Not many people are around claiming, "Oh yeah, I'm totally kicking myself for not waiting for the options I wanted, but hey, at least I got a great color!"

I also have a buyer for my Tundra.

According to the latest scrape of Toyota.com there are only 53 Off-roads nationwide (out of a total of 900) with SDM. Out of that, only two in Bronze Oxide.

Sounds about right and Toyota is cutting production as well on most models. My tundra allocations are way down. Seems like Covid showed Toyota they can sell less cars at higher profit per vehicle and do just fine.

And to top it off how many discounted at or near “Jim’s pricing”

We all priority things differently. I’ve made it this far in life without SDM. Can prolly make it a few more without.

It’s an attractive feature for sure for some folks. I personally wouldn’t utilize it but on a few occasions each year, whereas I look at and drive my truck daily. So yea, for me personally, color choice would be a high priority.

Underground was a close second, white, black, or silver I would have passed..
