That's good news. We're never going to find out what the hold is about are we... do they even tell the distributors/dealers?I just checked and there are more of them that look like the hold is removed. It isn't a huge number but a lot more than there were on Friday. I can see TRD Sport, Off-Road and plain SR5 models in F status right now.
Thanks Steve. To be clear, these were trucks previously in FI (freight inspection) status and now they're showing as regular F (freight) status?I just checked and there are more of them that look like the hold is removed. It isn't a huge number but a lot more than there were on Friday. I can see TRD Sport, Off-Road and plain SR5 models in F status right now.
BTW... don't put a lot of weight on the allocation spreadsheet or the Toyota Tracker site. Neither of those is run by Toyota and Toyota actively tries to stop the data leak that enables both of those site.
you want to check an early build date (1/31) for me, ya know, just to add to the data set?That's actually a really good question and I can't answer it because there is no way for me to keep track of all the VINs of the held vehicles that I see on the reports.
Your question did prompt me to dig a little deeper though and I did notice something interesting. The ones that are in F status and NOT on hold all have a build date of 2/16 or after. There are a lot of trucks in A status that have been built but have not flipped to F status and they are on hold. All of those were built before 2/16.
Evidence suggests that whatever this hold is about was identified and corrected in production on 2/16 or thereabouts.
The consequence of that is that trucks are not going to arrive in the order in which they were built. Newer ones will arrive while the previously built ones are corrected before they can move on.
Keep in mind that my sample size may have something to do with this. I have only checked build dates on about a dozen and there does seem to be this pattern but that isn't conclusive.
I don’t believe the VIN coincides with the build date as my build date on my door states 02/24 and my truck arrived at the dealer on the 8th of February. Less than 8 days to build and ship from Baja to California? My vin is one of the earlier ones and I have seen VIN numbers much higher than mine delivered before my truck. For reference, my VIN is in the early 600 range.Do the production dates track with the VIN/serial number? I know @CATOY was trying to figure that out in this thread.
If something was identified around 2/16 and we can figure out around what serial number that would definitely be something i'd want to know about my allocation.
Steve I don’t guess I’m ever gonna get my Trd Sport lol remember it had a build date of Jan 2nd.The last 7 of the VIN is the serial number. That is a running count of how many trucks with the same configuration have been built. That means, each configuration has its own serial number. A low production variant could have a very low serial number but a production date after a variant with a higher serial number but much higher production numbers.
For sure! From this to giving me weekly updates, I could ask for any better service!You have a dealer that is doing things right! Glad to hear it.
