Buying a 2022 off road with options

I'm from central nj.im trying to aquire a 2022 off road a/t of any color gray with the premium audio upgrade the ($2500.00 option).this is almost impossible.ive tried 5 to 8 dealers and to no avail.is there a better way?there must be one out there somewhere?

 

There is a long bed with the Premuim Package on the Toyota of Scranton (PA) page - looks to be in-bound. A bit more that just the audio upgrade...but want it bad, get it bad.

I dont want the leather seats....sad day

 

How did you find that so easily?it's close...I'd prefer non leather and a 5' bed but...ya know

 

I just went to the dealer site where my truck gets serviced - checked another one also where my truck was purchased but nothing there close to what you want.

 

I called 1 pa dealer yesterday...he just tried to sell me a limited...not happening

 

I searched 64 trucks in my area and none had the premium audio...I don't understand you'd think that would be a nice option rite?

 

I just acquired a '22 OR w/premium and tech packages after searching for several months and across several states. My advice is to search across as many dealerships as you can and let every online sales person know what you want should they come across something. I kept a spreadsheet. Make sure you actually speak/email/text with someone (not just the after-hours online chat people who don't work at the dealerships). I took every dealership with market upcharges off my list (principle for me) and ended up with a list of 10 dealerships, give or take. The larger the dealership, the more promising it seemed that they'd actually get something in stock. In the end, I got my truck from a pretty big place about 2.5 hours away. Given how specific you are with what you want (not judging - I get it), and since everyone is paying MSRP as it is, you might be better off just ordering exactly the truck you want and waiting that elusive "6-12 weeks" that everyone told me about. YMMV.

 

From what I've heard, the premium audio is really not that great. You could do the kicker door speakers, subie tweeters, amp, and sub for way less and have better sound.

 

Check out Koch 33 Toyota in Easton, PA. They have several gray ORs listed but I can't see what options they have.

The last dealer said they're not taking orders....I'm gonna have to hit ground hard I guess.i figured dealers at least had a search engine

 

You guys are awesome.youve done more for me then dealer's in 3 days.

 

Not taking orders? Find a bigger, better dealer IMO. Having spoken with quite a few, I didn't have a single person say they wouldn't order it for me. In fact, I started to think they were saying it just so I'd stop asking for updates on what was coming in. They really don't know what exactly's going to hit their lot sometimes, so yeah - get that spreadsheet out and start working.

 

Times are tough right now - demand is high, inventory is low so dealerships aren't going to expend a lot of time searching for a specific unicorn when they can sell anything they already have coming onto the lot. Do you have a relationship with a specific dealership? Having them search for something close to what you want would be the way to go, I think.

 

Auto Trader has the premium audio package as a filtering option, makes this very easy. Here’s the search based on a 200 mile radius around 07099, you can go in and set it up however you want:

I knew someone had that link!!

 

Can confirm. Were it not for the other parts of the package, I can't say that I'd splurge for this particular audio. It's not bad, but it's also not great.

 

I have a 2013..without premium audio...it would be an amazing step up!

 

I'd take that with a grain of salt though. Quite often I find those sites miss-mark things. Sometimes it's to deceive and sometimes they literally don't know. I can't tell you how many TRD sports I saw when searching for my OR. Or F150 XLTs marked as lariats.

 

Yeah...still way better then printing map with dealers and googling all results for each.
