Am i the only one who is annoyed by how Toyota is doing thier options packages now? I was just messing around on their site "building" a tacoma, just to see how much it would run compared to the SWAG estimates for FJC pricing.
1) i CANNOT get what i want from the dealership, they dont build it (3RZ (170hp 4 cyl) 5 speed extra cab with the TRD e-locker). not to mention the fact that if you follow the little "path" to the end it forces you to take "option package A" for $2125, which i dont want!
2) in order to get the TRD locker you must get the entire off-road package and you have to get the V6, and then the TRD package is $4405!
all of this means that the $21,660 base vehicle i want would end up costing me $27,620 = $6000 worth of crap i dont need
Granted, i havent bought a new car, ever, so i may be wrong about how this works (i really hope so), but thats NUTS!
anyway, to get to the point, i really hope wish toyota would let us buy vehicles with a-la carte options. if i just want the locker, just sell me the locker. if i just want cruise, just sell me cruise. i dont care if i have to special order it, i will gladly wait a few months to get exactly what i want.
