Tariffs. Any news?

[Berno]

Has anyone received any news from their dealers about the effects of tariffs on the price of a new Tacoma? My Trailhunter was built on January 21, so it should be arriving soon, but maybe not soon enough. My dealer didn’t have any info to share with me. Possibly someone out there is better informed?

don't look good !
Trump has said this week that wants to force auto makers to move into the US .seeing how all Tacomas come from Baja Mexico

Toyota will pass it on to us and sit it out. I don't think Trump understands how tariffs work.

Depends on how long the tariffs look like they will be in effect. If the tariffs cause Tacoma sales to drop by 75%, Toyota will move back to the US or discontinue Tacoma production for the USA. They won’t build more than they think they can sell and they won’t absorb the price difference for very long.

they operate for a profit and if that’s threatened, they’ll change how they operate.

Should be interesting to see how many Tacos sold in January. February will likely be a circus.
