As of now I'm still planning on getting a Gladiator this fall once the warranty on my Ridgeline is up. The wife doesn't know yet, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it...:angel:

I'm still sticking to my June or July time frame. Regardless of good deals this isn't over anytime soon and the possibility of large layoffs coming in the energy and oil sectors which will have trickle down effect on a company such as the one I work for. I would need to sell my Ram 1500 and that would likely not be a good time for that now to make optimal money

I got 7% off invoice and $2500 in rebates plus they threw in a lifetime powertrain warranty. Biggest problem was finding what I wanted in inventory. Picked it up on Sat the 15th before everything locked down on Monday.

The best deals are still 4 weeks away.
I think that could be very true but my best guess is that in September when the 2021's arrive the 2020's will be discounted like crazy. The dealer lots are sitting full of them right now and I cant imagine that there will be a major rush for people to buy them anytime soon.

waiting for 10k off msrp and 0 for 84% financing, the harder part will be finding a manual one with the recall going on

I bought mine last week, just before everything went into lockdown. I didn't expect that. Not the best time to buy.

If you’re not at risk for losing your job or having to cut back, I’d say go for it.

I picked one up last Sunday. Had been looking at Tacoma's, but loved the Gladiator. Although I am having some buyers remorse since I got a Sport S with the intent of a lift and 35s, but realized I should have got the Max Tow. I am considering taking it back this weekend to exchange for one with Max Tow and dropping some more coin. Anyone have thoughts on that?

Don't be surprised if 2021's are actually not made!

Probably to be cheaper to put 35s on what you have.

Dealers sales were ordered shut down in PA yesterday. Service is open, but sales, shut down

I purchased the Gladiator sport Tues which is fine for my needs. I actually prefer to add things on as I go, but that’s just me. I traded a Tacoma 4x4 TRD Off-Road which was three years old however, I never really cared for it. Prior to that I had an FJ Cruiser which I liked but needed something with a truck bed. I have a 2001 Wrangler that I purchased new. At 250,000 miles I put a new Jasper engine in it, have always replaced parts when needed, it’s like new.

Thanks! It is my daily driver, so I hope I don't need to regear with the 3.73.
