Thank you for the nice explanation. I still wonder whether the ECU on modern vehicles can change the timing enough that you don't half to worry as much about the fuel being used.
As I mentioned in another post, I've had very poor luck purchasing a truck across regional lines. Two dealers blocked me from doing so. I've heard it said that dealers want to keep you local so that you will spend your money with them on servicing your new vehicle.
You're welcome.
I believe that Balise Toyota of Warwick is the largest dealer in RI.
Scratch that. I just took a look at there customer service ratings and they are terrible.
It appears that Valenti Toyota in Westerly, RI has a great customer rating.
Since different TRD Pro's get allocated to different dealers, I think that it would be valuable to get on the list with whichever the biggest dealer is in each state within your region. I would contact one dealer per state. Here is the Toyota region map in case you don't know it:
Just be aware that if you are shopping out of your region that dealers usually won't sell you a vehicle. I tried to purchase a truck twice out of region and been shut down both times.
It all depends on what you are planning on using your truck for.
Compared to fixed running boards motorized running boards can add extra weight and maintenance, while taking away better body protection.
The sales tax in the state that you are purchasing the vehicle from is 6%. So...$69,369 X 6% = $4,162.14
So, yes it's that much.
You always pay whatever the sales tax is in the state that you are purchasing the vehicle from, not your own state.
