Do a google search on "Tundra bed bounce" or Tundra harmonic vibration. Please watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U6KmwB2LyY You will be shaken HARD by certain sections of road. I've owned my 2008 Tundra double cab 5.7l 4WD for a little over 24 hours. I drove it 1100 miles to get it home. All I can say is that Toyota has one royal screw up on their hands. I would never, never have purchased the truck had I known of this issue. I did test drive a 2008 crew max 5.7l 4WD with 7000 miles on it at the dealer. The salesman told me the shake was a "low tire". This bullshit needs to stop immediately. Toyota needs to make a full disclosure on this issue now and stop ALL Tundra sales unless full disclosure is made.

Hello all. Got a quote for $24,035 + tax/tags on an new 08 double cab 4x4 grade with the 5.7. Sticker was $31,950. Thinking about doing it. Any thoughts? |

Paid in March 2008 for a 2008 Tundra 5.7 Double Cab 4x4 with a MSRP of 31371 a price of 25549 in Eastern Pennsylvania. 2 dealers matched online pricing of Fitzmall . Could have gotten it cheaper but would have to pick it up in S-Carolina. Great car, but make sure you get a fat discount from your dealer |

Replying to: car25 (Jan 03, 2009 7:07 pm) That’s right. The gold standard of manufacturing is not exempt from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. In November, Toyota’s sales dropped 34%. GM’s sales were down 41%. People aren’t buying cars or much of anything right now. The value of the yen has risen 25% since summer, which makes autos significantly more expensive overseas (or the losses even bigger). But let’s take a look at the rest of the story. It is Toyota’s first financial loss in 70 Years. In 2007, Toyota posted $28 billion in operating profit. They have $18.5 billion in cash with relatively little debt. Have they lain off any employees? No. Have they cut back production and delayed new plant openings? Of course. So what are the employees doing? Training, maintenance, cleaning, problem-solving, and doing jobs that had been outsourced. Even in downturns, Toyota continues to invest in its people, plant and equipment. Will Toyota abandon Lean? Absolutely not. Why would anyone abandon an improvement system that saved the company after WWII and has given them a significant competitive advantage since the 50’s? It is what makes Toyota the gold standard. |

I bought a 2008 Tundra Double Cab Limited 4X4. Color Black Interior Biege Additional Equipment Included: Brushed Stainless Steel Step Boards Bedliner TRD Off Road Package Floor Mats and 4 Piece Sill Protector. Sticker Price: 40,737.00 Dealer invoice Price 36,303.00 and 1750,00 Rebate Paid 34,000.00 Plus 298.00 Documentary Preparation Fee (which I'm sure is kinda BS) and 150.00 Registration fee (I'm from NY and Bought the truck in MA and had to pay another company to register the truck for me.) Grand Total Paid 34,448.00 plus tax. with 0% financing for 5 years. 1855.00 underdealer invoice. No dealership in New York would come close to this price and my local dealer got extremely annoyed when I asked him if he could come close to this price. He just about accused me of lying to him and said "If you can get that truck for that price, I would run up there and get it." I took his advice and that's just what I did. I bought the truck in MA, because the dealer was offering a 1750.00 rebate and 0% Financing, that wasn't available in New York. In New York you can get 0% financing or a 3000.00 rebate but not both. I did all the negotiations over the internet and it made the process much easier. Hope this post helps someone out there get a good deal.
