Honestly. I would shop elsewhere. I have NEVER had a dealer that did not throw in the hitch with the trailer. IF they want to make the sale. the hitch, and many other things will be included in the sticker price.

TT I have now. I made the deal. Then told them I wanted a new hitch. I got one, as well as 2 camp chairs, and a awning matt.

I'm certainly not getting treated this way. Maybe that has to do with price range of the TT, but I'm having to haggle everything. Heck, they took out a relatively cheap brake controller from the deal to lower the price. Our local options are limited, so that's the only thing keeping us from moving on.

Remove the brake controller and WDH from the deal. The dealer will outfit you with the cheapest stuff to get the deal done. After the sale, buy a Prodigy controller and an Equal-I-zer brand hitch. If you can't install them yourself, hire a mobile RV tech do so.

I gave them two options on my final price. One figure with a specific hitch that I know they carry, and one without the hitch. Neither includes the brake controller, which I've been checking out the Tundra forums on that. Considering the P2 or P3. Thanks for the input.

TT price has nothing to do with it. They want to sell the less expensive ones just as much as the real expensive ones. I have bought 3 new trailers. Hitches were included in all. Brakes controller in one. Chairs in 2, grill in one. It is up to you to find a good dealer. current TT was bought in South Carolina 2 1/2 hours away. Why. First, they had what I wanted, Second, They made me the best deal, and to seal the deal. the owners showed up on a Sunday, My only day I could go, and installed my new WDH that was thrown into the deal, While our salesman carried free stuff to the TT. Awing matt, and 2 camp chairs. won't hurt you to look around.

Check out the dealers in a 2 or 4 hour circle. find the best one. You won't have make but 2 or three visits to them. One to pick it out and makes the deal, one to pick it up, and do the walk thru, and one to have the little things you find wrong fixed. This TT has been back one time, for loose cushion threads, and to tighten the AC bolts. All it has ever needed.
