Added. Put a deposit on a LC back in August, changed it to a Tacoma when I realized the Limited is more or less the same sans a few options. Not picky about the colour at all other than no red. Would prefer Boulder interior though.

I called One Toyota in Oakland (I'm just 15 mins away) to get put on a list for a TRD Off Road, they never made mention to me about that at all. I put the $1000 deposit as well about two weeks ago maybe, they just had me fill out a form with what I wanted and said to expect March to May for arrival. They also didn't tell me what place I was in the waitlist. It was actually an underwhelming process and experience.New user here, wanted to give an update on the call I got from my dealership today.
Im first on the waitlist for a trd off road with the hybrid max, $1000 deposit in since they first dropped the press release.
He said they still don’t have details on much but they anticipate getting them very soon.
I told him I wanted a premium trim, basically fully loaded in a few specific colors and I was perfectly willing to wait as long as it took for one to get allocated since toyota doesn’t do custom orders.
That’s when he dropped the bombshell. Apparently One Toyota of Oakland is one of 3 dealerships that has been selected to pilot the Toyota custom ordering platform. He said it’s a brand new system and he doesn’t have all the details yet but when the configurator gets released online I should built a couple trucks to the specs I want and send to him and I should be able to order that exact truck when the hybrids come out.
obviously I was ecstatic and had to share with you all.
What info does the dealer get from Toyota on build/delivery timing? I was given a delivery timing estimate from my dealer in Canada but not an actual build date. Is there a tracker for this or does all info go to the dealer? My dealer gives me scant details. When do VINs get generated and shared?Got confirmation from dealer this morning. My TRD Sport (ordered 12/16/23) has entered build phase.
It should be assigned a temporary VIN at allocation, and the permanent VIN once it's built. Some VINs can be searched at toyota-tracker.com , but that can be hit or miss (my truck is on it's way to the dealership, but still doesn't appear on the site).What info does the dealer get from Toyota on build/delivery timing?
