Am looking into Costco just to see what kind of break a guy can get there am guessing with Toyotas pricing structure they may not meet Costco's standards for a discount.

I searched a 5 state region when I initially started searching for my last Toyota. Found 3 trucks I liked at Billion Toyota in SFSD. Talked to salesman about the 3, we went over in detail. Gave him my first, second, third choice. We last talked at 8pm, as I was driving up to make a trade; I forget it was like a 5-6 hour drive. I get there first thing, 8am. We go to test drive the 3 vehicles we discussed. Start with #2 then #3....I'd like to drive my first choice.....ummmmm let me look for it.........can't find it right now, hummm "let's make a deal on one of these 2". No, I want to drive my #1 choice, more time waiting.....salesman comes back, we can't find it. I ask is it sold, no. Is it being test driven?? No. Well, where is it, we talked late last night and it was here, I'm here first thing this am........what's up??!! I go to the Sales Mgr, he offers another $1,000 off choice #2, LOL.......no, I want to see/drive my first choice and explain I'd driven 5-6 hours to make this deal and we had about 15 more minutes and I was leaving. I walked out to my truck, called another Toyota dealership I'd test driven a truck the day before, asked if the truck was still available, gave him my offer and said if you agree I'll be there in 4 hours and trade, period. They agreed and I walked back into Billion, asked what was up......still can't find my #1 choice and I said no worries, I just bought another truck from another dealership. I professionally expressed my displeasure with them and walked out and made my trade at the other dealership. In my opinion, they're clearly a high volume dealership, in/out wham bam and on down the road, very little interest in developing any kind of relationship. That's fine, I've taken my business elsewhere and also referred 2-3 others to them since and they've been very happy.

HA, don't believe the hype about new truck depreciation........that's laughable.
PLEASE translate for us then.....buy a brand new truck, does the value stay the same, go up in value......or depreciate.....3 days, 3 months, 3 years after your purchase......
"The used truck was only priced about $10-$15,000 below the price of a new truck"........please explain why the USED truck was priced $10-15,000 less?? Of course it has nothing to do with depreciation, LOL. Tires and brakes must have been really really worn.

"Cowboy Cadillac's" I like that. so what is out there for a full sized extended cab 4X4 that you can reach over the sides to pick things up off the bed? I don't want 4 doors, don't even mind if you have to fold up the seat back to get into the xcab area. My favorite jittney was a Cheyenne Xbed '97 350 stick had the granny gear in low range. It got 16 highway at 60ish and could pull a mountian of it's base. Do I have to look at compacts to get to reach into the bed. Then I would need a trailor. I am 5'9" nothing special 200 pounds. Is there nothing out there????? jk

Toyota Access cabs, Nissan Frontier 2dr, Honda Ridgelines are all I can think of.

Looked at the Billion Toyota site they have a math problem they had a 2017 that was marked $5,000 off MSRP and their price was $5,000 over the MSRP made me laugh might be a trick to get a guy to call them! LOL

I run a 87-88 D50 depending on what numbers you look at on it! LOL A mix of 3 trucks to build one it is a breeze to work out of 1/2 the bed is reachable from the side your one quick and easy for me. The top of a full size truck I can not see the bottom of the bed even they are so high. One is way easier then the other for me that's what I'm looking for to trap/hunt with.

The only one marked $5000 off with fancy wheels/tires, sunroof but the price is plus $5,000 over MSRP for a listed price and no listing of the sunroof they show in the pic when I looked for it in the listed description. LOL I see they have a (this may not be the vehicle listed) disclaimer in smaller print at the bottom.

I think 2017 Tacomas are still at 0% interest. I just bought mine last month. That's for the whole 60 months.

 Can probably reach over the bed rail ,on this one If they sold them like this I'd look into it seen a kit a couple of years ago they said Jeep was going to produce them but have not seen one on the road yet.

The way I understand it, it depreciates 3-4k$ when you drive off the lot, it's the money they charged for a profit, true value of truck doesn't include their commission I searched one place they wanted 36,000 for a new Tacoma and they had a used one for 35,000 I was shocked.
