Costco pricing and Earnhardt Toyota Mesa for the win

[NVdave]

Bought a TRD OffRoad Premium using the Costco program through Earnhardt Toyota in Mesa, AZ. We don’t live in AZ but spend a lot of time with family there. Chris Beverly was our sales rep. He was responsive and very straight up with us. We saved just shy of $2k under MSRP. Chris was very helpful in getting some PIO’s deleted. Looking forward to meeting him and picking up the new rig late April. If you use the Costco program and fill out a survey after, you get 50% off up to $400 worth of stuff from the parts department.

Nice! Just curious, how did you choose that particular dealership among the 9 or so in the Phoenix area? Is that the only one that participated in the Costco program?

Riviera,
If I had to guess, I’d say they’re the only one participating. We have a small house in Estrella Mtn Ranch which is zip code 85338 and a long way from Mesa. So far it’s been a great experience working with Chris. My primary home is in Reno, NV and the local dealership couldn’t find us any TRD ORP with a moonroof and tow package. Chris mentioned they are a pretty large dealership so that may have helped with sourcing the rig. I wanted to buy right away in case those tariffs actually happen. The 4Runner built in Japan and it’s like 99% Japanese parts content if I’m not mistaken.
