New owner in Kennewick WA; my journey:

Got on three dealer waitlists in April 2024 (Tri-Cities WA, Hermiston OR, Walla Walla WA)

Passed on a couple LC’s, patiently waiting for what I wanted (plan to keep forever, and that is a long time to have regrets because I settled...)

Hermiston was allocated one in July, in the build phase, nicely equipped from the factory/port matching my wish list
  • LC/LC premium, meteor shower, black leather
  • 18’s, upgraded skids
  • NO dash cam
Took delivery on Aug 27, paid MSRP, then
  • Installed Cooper Road+trail AT 265/70R18, with new center caps
  • PPF
  • 35% tint on front driver/passenger windows
Totally happy, and my wife informs me that it is her car now (if I want my own toyota I may need to get back the stock V6 1995.5 Taco SR5 I gifted to our son...a sweet truck btw)

Looking forward to seeing other owners on the road, and having this online commutiy is a great resource (thx!)

Best!

Welcome. I'm In your home town tonight. Busy place. My wife will get lots of time behind to wheel tomorrow to get used to the beast. on the way to PR CA. She is not one for automation. I am waiting on 18" rims and have wondered about the Coopers. They look like decent tires for the snow. I got the PPC as well. That's one item my dealer had to offer.

Small world! The coopers seem good so far, now that they are balanced correctly. Had the dealer install them (they matched the price I had elsewhere) . Big mistake... I could tell right away they were way off. two of them were counter-balanced ...Discount tire set it right, free of charge too.

They run realatively quiet for AT's, we usually get some snow so we'll see in a few months how they do.

Safe travels!
