Just bought the new 08 crewmax,, had to settle for tundra grade.. cost factor,, had the paint protection rust proofing and interior scothguard as well as spray in bedliner thrown in,,& took 2000.00 off msrp.(sticker) i did add running boards.. will need to find alloys. (has steel) ,, and no lower running lights..,, but thinks i made a good choice..

Tell me more about the paint protection. Now that I'm hearing so much about thin paint its making me wonder about the paint protection offer. That wasn't offered to me for my last Toyotas. It has to be something to do with the thin paint.

Deznut,,
The paint protection is part of a package A .. here in wisconsin,, it goes with .. undercoating ,, interior scotch guard & paint protection,, reason is it all adds to my rust through warranty,, in wisconsin with road salt.. maufacturers warranty wont cover in case of rust due to road salt.,, and for 60.00 a year ,, they will go over it all again..and reapply where needed.. kinda a cheap detailing job..

ice_44_1998 · 04-12-2008, 03:06 PM

Also makes for a harder clear coat protection,,

Most sensors are interchangeable between the alloy and steel wheels but there are some that are not and I believe the ones that are not have to do with the bigger TRD alloy wheels. Check your dealer!
