Cool - I love my Terra Pro, and I think it is an amazing color.

If you bought the OEM mud flaps you might want to check out some to the threads here on the forum. They are tiny and only cover part of the tire. Many owners of trucks with smaller tires are upgrading to aftermarket mud flaps and I think most people with THs and Pros are doing that to cut down on rock chips on the rear fender and flares.

My past vehicles have always been white or silver so going Terra is a big change for me. I have seen some of the threads on mud flaps seems there are a few aftermarket options. Uncertain which ones to order. It is going straight from the dealer for ppf and window tint so I will get the joy of driving it across town then lose it for 2 days while that gets done.

I did the same and it was tough giving it up so soon, but it was so worth it in the long run!

Do your TRD Pro factory mud flaps seem to get the job done? Mine don’t cover the full width of the front tire, and hence the tires are spewing mud and ROCK chips down the side, pitting the black plastic rear wheel covers. Took it to dealer yesterday and pending, but sounds like they make good on this terrible deficit.

I don’t have mine yet as it is still en route.

Unless they are installing some other flaps at the factory @Rock Hopper, @HBNARO will get the same lame flaps that we all did. At the least Toyota should owe us the $60 we wasted when we trusted them to put on something that works when Toyota built our trucks.

Agree . I have seen recent Pro’s arrive at dealers and the photos show the small mud flaps. Trying to decide if I should go ARK, RokBloc or ? I want black and as little vendor badging as possible.

Anyone have data on how long it takes the logistics center to do their thing once the boat arrives? I how long from boat arrives until it is on a train or truck to its next stop?

For me, my Trailhunter arrived in Long Beach on 10/31 and was loaded onto the train on 11/7. It arrived at Toyota of Surprise yesterday 11/19. That was the most ridiculous part of the journey to me, that it took 3 weeks to go the last 400 miles after arriving in the US.

Thanks for that data point. I get that frustration on the last 400miles. In the end it will be here when it will be here but it is fun trying to pin it down.

So where did you get this tracking information? My dealer did not provide this to me.

I learned a lot about the shipping industry while my truck sat in LZC. I was tracking every boat leaving that port for a month! The dates from Toyota were comical too. Once it was on the boat (10/26) my estimated availability updated to 10/28-10/31. I knew it would take about 4 days just to sail to LGB, so there was no way it was getting to dealer that quick. The dates later updated to 11/18-12/3 or something like that, then 11/18-11/21, then just 11/21 before it actually showed upon 11/19. Really surprising to me how Toyota doesn't have it down to a science.
