Tundra is one expensive truck
This goes back to the Four Wheeler Truck of the Year competition-
I was looking at the spec sheet at the end of the article which lists every truck's specs, options, price, etc.
This test had a new Dakota, a Ram 2500 Cummins quad cab, Ford F250 Supercab PSD FX4, Hummer H2 SUT, and Tundra CrewMax.
The Ford and Dodge both stickered for around $51K. Diesel, auto, etc. The Ford was pretty much optioned out, it had the longest list of options of anything in the competition (of course, that doesn't surprise me, with all the options Ford offers on the Super Dutys).
What shocked me- the Tundra stickered at $47K! I don't know what they come with standard, but base price for the CrewMax is shown as $41K. Only had about 6 options, the most expensive of which was a rear seat DVD entertainment system and a DVD nav system.
No wonder I don't see very many of those around.

As already stated, ALL the MSRP's on like equipped trucks are very close.
The "Limited" you are quoting is very close to the King Ranch or Harley from Ford as far as asking price.......rebates vary from a high of $3,000 for Toyota to I've seen $5,000 rebates from Ford. HOWEVER, Ford USUALLY excludes the Harley Davidson trim from the rebates!!!
The Toy SR5 is equal in price to the XLT
My SR5 4X4 Crewmax stickered at 37K and was purchased for 31K.....
As far as not seeing many around, Toy pretty much met their goal of selling 200,000 1/2 ton Tundras.......and while I put very liitle weight into equating sales numbers with who's best (if we did, then GM handily outsells Ford) I am always curious to how Ford and GM's truck sales actually break down.
In other words, out of the +- 700,000 Fords sold, how many were 150's, 250's 350's, 450's, 550's, 600's, 700's....etc.

And that all depends on when you were shopping.....at intro, there were no rebates for the Tundra......and I don't recall the rebates for Ford in Feb. of '07. (Probably $3,000)
When I bought my Tundra, the rebates were the same at $3,000.
Later, Ford went as high as $5,000 while the Tundra stayed at 3K.
I can get the D plan for Fords (a small percentage under invoice) and had no problem getting invoice for the Tundra....even though I had to shop the East side of the country for it.
