Replying to: anythngbutgm (Dec 31, 2008 7:39 am) That Tundra better have a heavy frame if he plans to get more than a season plowing snow. I have seen a lot of 1/2 ton PUs destroyed with plows. A 3/4 ton heavy duty is much better for plowing snow. I used an old Army Power wagon for years in Alaska. It just kept going. Great old vehicle.

Replying to: explorerx4 (Dec 31, 2008 3:18 pm) Forum Blitz... It's happening on Edmunds and many other boards. Probably union folks in the job banks using their valuable time to spread rumors and propoganda. Replies to this message: explorerx4 (Jan 02, 2009 4:12 pm)

#2374 of 3618 first post incentive question by usfmarine Jan 04, 2009 (10:53 pm)
Does anybody know what the Toyota financing/cash back incentive will go to after Jan 5, 2009?   I have been googling and searched this site for the answer. I'd be very surprised if Toyota employees didn't give us a helpful heads-up.   Thanks for any help ladies and gents.

Toyota, the world's biggest automaker, will freeze plans to build new factories in Thailand and Russia due to sluggish demand worldwide, Japan's Sankei newspaper reported on Saturday.   In June, Toyota said it would build a new 150,000 units-a-year diesel engine factory in Thailand, which would raise its annual diesel engine output capacity to 350,000 units in 2010 and create about 700 jobs.   But Japan's top automaker would suspend the plan because of slumping global auto demand, the Sankei said.   In St. Petersburg, Russia, Toyota began building cars at a new 50,000-units-a-year factory in December 2007.   But it will now freeze plans to build a secondary factory at the location as production at the existing factory fell short of its forecast, the newspaper added.   First the new plant in the U.S., now other plants around the world. I am glad that they are targeting production expansion for cost-cutting, rather than future product.   http://www.autonews.com/article/20090105/ANE02/901050297/1198 (registration link)

Replying to: usfmarine (Jan 04, 2009 10:53 pm) Incentive info seems to be closely guarded, and often the salespeople at the dealer don't know about new incentives any sooner than the customers do.   Predictive TMV can give you an idea of which way prices are heading for the make/model you are shopping.

Replying to: steve_ (Jan 05, 2009 8:25 am) Yes the sales people and managers don't get the next month's info before anyone else. It's emailed or faxed the morning that it takes effect. It depends on inventory levels mostly but also what the public is responding to at the moment. Subvented rates? Leases? Cash Back? Replies to this message: usfmarine (Jan 05, 2009 9:35 am)

Replying to: kdhspyder (Jan 05, 2009 8:56 am) Thanks Steve and Kdhspyder, I figured the salespeople knew ahead of time. Guess not.

"In good times and bad, we try to keep output in line with demand, keeping production in line with demand," Nolasco said. "This will help even out production flow."   Toyota idles plants for extra 11 days (CNN)
