My order timeline so far, will update as it goes

[evlfred]

9/13 2023 placed deposit of $1K for first iForce Max Limited preferably Bronze Oxide

9/14/24 got impatient so dealer offered to trade for one with $5K of crap on it including brake light flashers and TRD off road wheels (passed)

9/27/24 a truck came in to stock at a nearby dealer with pretty much everything but the interior color I wanted, asked about refunding deposit. Two hours later BAM! they have one they can get that will be built around the end of October I can add whatever PIO I want and it's the color combination I desired. Defined the options (Bed scene lighting, spray in liner, bed step, winter mats, lit emblem) and they sent a built sheet over once they were confirmed.

9/28/24 wait... start the arduous process of removing all the vinyl business logos from the Tundra to sell it..

Good luck! Nice that your dealer finally decided to work with you. To give you some idea, my Trailhunter was built on 9/3 and is still at the port in Mexico waiting for a boat (as of today, 10/9). I'm still holding to the hope that it'll get here by the end of this month, but that window is closing quick.

My trd pro was built 12 days ahead of yours and is still waiting on a boat ride out of Mexico to Long Beach.

Yours is at the port too. Probably waiting for the same RORO.

yeah I imagine they only go out so often

The boats seem to go about every month. My truck arrived at the port on 9/26, boarded the boat on 10/26, left on 10/28, and arrived at Long Beach on 10/31. Sorry to say, the next boat probably won't leave until Thanksgiving.

I am also in Az, Phoenix. How long from Long Beach until it hit your dealer?

Still waiting! I'm hoping I can pick it up this weekend but the dealer doesn't have or won't share any more information.

I find the delivery routs perplexing. Your trucks are waiting in port and final delivery is AZ. Mine is apparently coming rail the whole way to CO. The Phoenix area is closer along the routs where my truck is traveling so not rail to AZ?!? Just mussing I suppose, just doesn't make since to me but I have no experience/background in shipping and delivery.

Same! I am fascinated by the different routes. I spent a lot of time watching ships over the last month and figured Toyota delivers from Mexico to both Long Beach and Benicia (SF Bay). The east cost deliveries I know go out of Vera Cruz to various Atlantic ports. I wonder where the line is between ship and train deliveries.

I was just wondering if they were going to put my truck on a train from LA to Phoenix. Then I got a text from the dealer last night and let me know it was loaded on a train. Guess that answers that! Honestly, it probably takes more time to load and unload from the train than just to truck it directly to the dealer. At least we're making progress.

I'm still hoping for delivery this weekend.
