Well I worked the salesman for about twenty minutes and finally got him to say he “might could do something” about the protection code. Even offered cash to try to get them to budge. No success.
Did get them to confirm that I could get a custom order without the $7K market adjustment above MSRP. They were a solid no on Tread Lightly.
Did finally get to see Tuscadero live and in person. God what a beautiful color. Jeep is missing out on sales by not offering it on the Gladiator.
If anyone is looking for a bare bones Tuscadero Willys this one was a special order that got backed out on. They have a $7K market adjustment on most of their Jeeps so don’t expect too good of a deal on it.
