Is my dealer crazy????

How could you possibly make that statement when you've never had one that functions like the '05-'06??? Have you been in a truck with the two different spoilers in a heavy rain??? I haven't, and I'm assuming you haven't since you didn't say so in your previous post. :bash:

One thing I know for sure is that the downdraft created by the spoiler is both effective and beneficial. If it wasn't they probably wouldn't have changed the shape. Its pretty obvious driving in the rain that it "blows" rainwater off the rear window better than it would if it didn't have a spoiler, ask anyone with an '05-'06. When I finish washing my car the first thing to dry is the rear window after just a few hundred feet of speeds of 30mph+.

I'm not sure how the '03-'04's work, if at all, but I'm assuming the "ugly" and obviously very noticiable new lip on the '05-'06 creates the downdraft, therefore the previous version is non-functional from a downdraft standpoint.

My point is, since the '03-'04 is considered non-functional, and the '05-'06 is certainly more functional you can't make any kind of statement until you've seen both work. I'll admit that the '03'-'04 version looks less like a shopping cart handle than the '05-'06's, but I'd still rather have the function over the look anyday...

You are WASTING your time!

It's like this!:chair:

an update for those interested....

My customer service lady just called and said that they will be putting the spoiler on next week. It will be the factory spoiler and since they are doing it, it will be documented for the lease. Thanks to all that helped me out.

BTW, the salesman who sold me my car is already fired. Had nothing to do with me, but apparently the guy didn't know his stuff. I had to explain him all the features.:nono:

As soon as I get home I'm taking the spoiler off my '05 a putting a big-arsh wing on it like the ones on those pimped out Civics. I want something that looks good and works and those guys have to know what they are doing. Toyota tech-development has obviously has no clue, as determined by the people's comments in this thread....

:bash: :awais:

YEAH!!! Make sure you get the F-40 style!!! You will have the coolest truck EVER!!

That wouldn't surprise me... after all, you put the Sport hood on your 4Runner.

And the hoodscoop is almost as functional as the rear spoiler.:bash:

It's amazing that some of you guys think the rear spoiler is such a rear-window-clearing tool. Hahahaha. It probably decreases fuel economy more than it clears the rear glass....

Isn't it time for you to change your spark plugs or change your oil? :runaway:

Thanks, l have a tendency to trust people. I usually get EVERYTHING in writing, so it was unlike me to do not get it in this case. I was just so surprised that they chased me out of the dealership to meet my offer that I was just blinded by the shiny new runner. But, like I said, they fixed everything and are making good on the promises.

YES. ABSOLUTELY. CRAZY. That's just from my experience.

(BTW, I didn't read the post, just the subject line)
