Kinda hard to buy a truck that is barely being produced.

Toyota looks like they have their shit together.

Toyota looks like they have their shit together.

IIRC they bought up a lot of chips while everyone else was sitting on their @ss! There's an area here called dealer row which has just about every manufacturer on it. The Toyota dealer is the only one that has a good amount of vehicles on their lot. The others are basically empty collecting dust.

Also kinda hard to buy a truck that is barely being advertised.

Toyota Tundra sales are down 41.9%. It is just my guess, but I assume they concentrated on Tacoma and everything else put on the back burner.

I know the one you're thinking of over there. This one is in Avondale and runs parallel to the I-10 near 99th Ave right before the 101 ramp.

We have several "motor miles" here in the Valley.
Not sure that's a good thing or not, but we have them!

Looks can be deceiving, they have never built a truck that I could trust.

Peoria Ford is on one of them too.

I do like it for the convenience when you're shopping a bunch of different brands. Instead of driving all over the place everything is on one street.

But I did like my Ford dealer back east who was located 60 minutes away out in a small town. I received MUCH better customer service and the owner (Lyle, who was an older gentleman) would come down and greet every customer. You just don't see that now a days.

There's lots of things we don't see nowadays like we used to back east when we were younger.
Sad times.

Toyota has a BCP that requires all of their suppliers to hold 2 to 6 months of parts/components in inventory. This includes chips. They remained at 90% capacity at their US plants this year. Easy to be the leader when yours is the only product on the block.
