Matt is a well respected member of the community.
More so as an authoritative knowledge source than as a retail vendor.

Set expectations appropriately and research mud when considering using him as a source.

While obviously well intended and clearly knowledgeable he has suffered the scalability issues many have when trying to solo-serve the larger community.

In short - he is an amazing resource
But not in a “need it anytime soon” type of way.

To his credit he recently self-paused new orders to clear his backlogged delivery issues

I’ve talked to Toyota Matt on the phone many times. @simps80 nailed it: incredibly knowledgeable, and a one man show. The sheer amount of solutions for the old trucks that he’s single handedly keeping alive is incredible. Good dude, sometimes you have to wait a bit for your order to come through.

@simps80 Good review, Mike. You and I have been around long enough to have seen this scenario before. You put it very well.

Yeah, I know Matt pretty well and have done lots of business with him. He was super helpful and interested in my Stout project as well. He's pretty chatty but I'm a good listener. 😉
