31 X 11 x 2-3 factory options per vehicle.
No single store can carry that many different vehicles especially since this is the initial ramp up. Some of these combinations may be very popular and getting one within 4-6 weeks is a snap. One that's very very specific might require 90+ days. It just depends.
Consider that those that go in and buy one in stock have zero waiting time and their comments wouldn't be reflected in threads like this. They didn't have to wait even a minute.
have fun drivin!
Download the file here and save it to your desktop
Open the file with Microsoft Excel
Edit the base vehicle info in rows 2-5 as needed, see Edmunds.com for data
Place an "x" in the yellow fields to indicate which options you want on your vehicle
Review row 57 to see what the MSRP and Invoice totals are for your vehicle as configured
Enter the price quoted by the sales rep or your offer price in cell F57 to see how it compares to MSRP and Invoice
Place an "x" in the yellow fields in rows 60-64 to indicate which additional fees will be included (if any) then change the prices as needed
Review rows 66-68 to see your total cost and how much profit the dealer will make in each scenario
Edit the yellow loan fields in rows 69-73 as needed to estimate what your payments and total payback will be
Switch to the Dealers worksheet and enter contact info for all of your local dealers including several out of state or from another region. This is helpful when calling for quotes and it helps to show this to the sales rep / sales manager during final negotiations so they know you are serious about walking if they don't deal.
The factory option codes and prices are preloaded for the Tundra and should be the same for most vehicles. You can change anything in the file including the formulas for calculated fields: just select Tools... Protection... Unprotect Sheet and then all cells will be editable. No warranties expressed or implied.

Please come help us build a Tundra community and share in the ownership experience with other lucky Tundra owners.
We look forward to hearing from you.
also, from what i gather, just getting your hands on an oil filter for the 5.7 tundra is difficult.
looks like dealer oil changes to me, which ain't no big deal since they are $21 here if you purchase the yota from them.
O'Rieley's carries 5w-20 Mobil One. 6 bucks a quart.
The following link brings up my article which explains the installation process and includes 44 photos of my truck before the install, during prep work, in the spraying area, and after the install was completed.

This should help any of you that are looking for more detailed LINE-X info like I was a few weeks ago. It is a tough decision to have your factory new and nearly perfect truck scuffed up so that a permanent liner can be sprayed on, but now that it is done I am very satisfied and glad that I did it. Enjoy.
I especially like how they took the time to remove the bed bolts and tie-down loops prior to spraying. the finished product look so much better with the bedbolts and tie-down loops NOT sprayed. :shades:
Now I am glad that I listened to him since it does look better and those parts can be removed or replaced without affecting the liner. He also said if I didn't like the look later then I could always tape them off and spray them with black undercoating material or take it back in and he would cover them with LINE-X for me.
I am going to leave them alone because they look better and I plan to put a hard multi-section removable lid on the bed as soon as I find the right product in stock. I just hope I can find a bed lid that allows me to keep the top plastic rail covers and bed rails installed.
Has anyone seen any good lids in stock for the 2007 Tundra yet? I want a multi-section removable hard cover so it can be partially or completely removed by one person with the sections stored in the bed while in transit if needed. It also has to be lockable and preferably strong enough to withstand strong winds or moderate weight on top of the cover.
Good luck.
I know that in my dad's old CTS V, he was able to figure it out by pushing a series of buttons or something. :confuse:
Is Toyota identify them wrong or is it a 3/4 ton
And what makes a truck a 1/2 or a 3/4 ton?
kcram - Pickups Host
Anyway, I really hope I can get away with calling the new tundra a half ton. I know for sure that with my insurance company, a 3/4 ton will cost more to insure than a half (just like a 4x4 is more to insure than a 4x2). I would imagine that if I claim it to be a half-ton, then my insurance company will accept it since I do all transactions via the telephone.
don't know though. time will tell. when i insure my tundra i will follow up in this forum whether I insured it at half or 3/4 ton premium.
Keep in mind the role of pickups have changed over the years, which is reflected in the way the vehicle are built and marketed.
I honestly think the mid-size class of truck will evolve into what used to be the "1/2-ton of years gone by," from a capability standpoint. Most are already there now. Thereby allowing full-size 1/2-ton to evolve into a HD 1/2-ton, just under the 3/4-ton range.

The truck I ordered is really nothing special. I am waiting for a blue streak TRD 4x4 with leather. The funny thing is that I have not even SEEN a TRD 4x4 ANYWHERE. Does Toyota really even make a TRD 4x4?????
Others seem to be experiencing the same problem as I. Trucks are ordered, no trucks are coming. Very strange. But what is most strange is the total lack of communication and information on the order process and build.
I have been told by my dealer that my truck is in "build status" and is tagged as "sold". lol, what does that mean? I ordered the dang thing on February 13th.
I can only assume that Toyota is still ramping up, trying to fill orders, and building trucks. Just seems like they would at least make "contact" with special order clients,,,,say,,,,,,via email???? lol,,,,,or at least stay in closer contact with the dealer regarding special orders. say........."special order updates", via email?
I guess in the end, it is all about patience on my part. Just seems to me that Toyota is lagging a little here with this new Tundra. Maybe not lagging as of yet on production, but lagging on staying in contact and getting info out there to the customer and dealers for sure. My dealer just tells me, "all I know is that they are working on your truck, can't tell you where they are at on it, or when it will be done." And that's just it folks; in my view, the dealer should be able to tell the $37,000 customer EXACTLY where they are at on his truck, and EXACTLY when it will be done.
I just needed to vent a little this morning on the forum since my wife is getting tired of hearing it, lol. She even suggested, "why don't you just go and buy a new Titan"?
At least you know they can make one.
Has anyone been able to test drive the truck with and without the TRD pkg.? Is there a difference with the ride quality? :confuse:

My only beef is he got it in the sandstone color, not the sharpest but still nice. I'd be curious of the reaction he gets when he pulls up to work at a GM dealer in a brand new Yota. :P
I believe that being patient pays off. With gas prices up over 40 cents/gal in the last month, I see better inventory and better deals in the near future. If not, Toyota will never make their predicted sales figures for the Tundra.
A. The TRD system can be ordered and installed through your dealer. It consists of a 2 in 2 out muffler and two tail pipes which exit to each side behind the rear wheels. The pipe size is 2 3/4" as is the stock system. The Tundra accessory guide shows the back of a truck with them installed. The list price is $1060 installed (I believe) and I paid $950 installed.
The reason I went the TRD route is because it's blessed by Toyota, designed for the Tundra, is mandrel bent stainless and uses the stock hangers.
A. Yes they do! I've had my Blue Streak, DC, Limited, 4x4, 5.7, with the TRD package for over a month now and love it. A lot of the trucks on my dealers lot have the TRD package. I'm in Central Oregon.
