UNDER WARRANTY WITH ROB’s BIG BAD TUNDRA.

Before I get started, I would like to tell you that you have my express permission to print my article as written with the photos provided. Or if you would rather have your own journalist report on the subject, you are welcome to do that as well.

I would like to tell you about a little known niche that I have stumbled across. It is dealer built vehicles. I have found that some dealers will take a vehicle from inventory and install dealer added upgrades to use them as demo vehicles. One of the best advantages of this is that the upgrades are subject to the same warranty as the rest of the vehicle. I live in the Tulsa area and I have found that both of the Toyota dealers in Tulsa practice this.  I have looked at some of the Chevy dealers in the area and have not found any that have done this, but my search was not very extensive. I would find it hard to believe that there were not other dealers out there that practice this.

My first experience with this was in 2004 when I stumbled across an 04, Toyota, Tundra, Limited, step side. The added options were a Basani duel exhaust and a cold air intake. The vehicle performed rather well with these features.

My next experience was in 2010 when I found a brand new (600 miles) 2009, Toyota, Tundra, SR5, crew cab with the following upgrades. It has Corsa duel exhaust and a cold air intake. A six inch suspension lift, an ARB front bumper with a Warn winch, custom leather interior, an awesome JBL 10 speaker, 6 disc, stereo system with subwoffer, 20 inch Fuel chrome rims with 35 inch Toyo M/T tires, front Procomp coil over gas shocks, Rear Procomp gas-adjust shocks, retractable running boards, tinted windows, and heated front seats. And it is all under warranty.
