I’m also unsure whether I should opt for the undercoat and rust inhibitor spray. I’m inclined to think it is just a dealer up sell but I would appreciate advice. I’ve never bought a new car before and the whole experience is a bit intimidating!

new taco, a undercoat maybe worse by trapping in the moisture

I am pretty sure toyota has learnt frame rust protection on the taco the hard way. Also, rust warranty is basically life time and our conditions are not as bad as the prairies. Just do the AC drain hose mod and you should be fine. If you like your current dealer/sales, give them a chance... otherwise just head to the other dealer to get it. Tbh, toyota dealers don't really like to trade cars with each other.
