Trailhunter QC Holds — multiple regions

[Zebrajacket99]

That Bronze Oxide? How is the paint in person?

Needing those words of encouragement currently. Still waiting for the dealer to workout a delivery mixup with Toyota corporate currently. Waited all this time through the QC hold debacle only for them to deliver it to the wrong dealership. Hoping this truck is worth the wait. haha.

UPDATE: Finally picked up the truck last night. 9mo wait is over. Good luck to everyone still waiting.

Just got back from SoCal with my new Trailhunter built on 07/23/2024, with snorkel fix. I think you will get yours way sooner than October.

I was looking at this truck at SIMI Valley Toyota. You actually paid that markup on it?

anyone know if newly built trailhunters are still getting put on QC holds? Mine is supposed to be built next week.

Ive been so busy lately, but I picked it up last Wednesday (August 28). It's better than what i was expecting. It drives smooth, has power, and does fantastic off road! I'm extremely pleased with it!

After being given a delivery ETA of 8/26-9/6 I've been told my TH arrived at Portland on 8/27, but during the past week has been unable to be moved the 3 hours north to the Seattle dealership.

There is no update right now. It is at the port in Portland and awaiting shipment. All trailhunters are most likely going through quality control due to it being the first batch of trailhunters. In a 500 miles radius, there is not a single trailhunter that has hit a dealer yet. ​

I have doubts about the 500mi radius remark, but have no facts to base my doubts on.

Edit: I've been told that there may be another QC inspection going on by my dealer. I have no new ETA for delivery.

I paid MSRP + $1250 "markup" (it's for their Xzillion thing and theft insurance, but I personally think of it more as markup). They started to advertise $5000 markup after I already put deposit on it, wasn't sure that I will get this truck until I started to sign papers.

Update: Just heard that my TH made it to port (east coast) on 8/30. Still stuck in status "Vehicle may be in transit. Contact dealer to confirm availability date." Unclear at this point if it's going to be held for QC (snorkel fix or anything else that comes up). Build date was 7/30.

Was given a delivery date range of 8/22-9/5. Now they removed the estimate date on the Toyota website and dealer pipeline. Looks like the waiting game continues.
Build date was 6/20.

Has anybody already with a Trailhunter and the original snorkel cover tried to get a warranty replacement yet? I plan on asking whenever my defective bed scene rail gets replaced. Warranty replacement parts are just not available. Poorcrollout and inventory planning by Toyota in their rush to get the delayed introduction to market. They weren't ready and now have a lot of loyal Toyota owners extremely mad!

 

[timetoeatpotatoes]

Just got the call, truck is built! ETA on delivery is one month. Let's see if it gets QC hold or not!

And the saga continues for my specific TH...

Dates from Toyota Inventory Search:
- Over the weekend: ETA 8/22-9/4
- On Monday night: ETA updated to 8/20-8/22
- On Tuesday morning: ETA updated to 8/22 (single date, no range)
- As of today: no ETA, updated back to just "may be in transit"

Talked to the dealer and they have no more information and there's no active hold on my truck - it's just sitting at the Benecia port since 8/19. What's stranger is a TRD Pro that came on the same boat got delivered to the same dealer today.

Upside is I got to see a TRD Pro in underground in person. My observations:
- Really is a gorgeous looking truck; TH should be similar or better looking
- Color and gloss combination collects water spots and finger prints like flies to a pile of...you get the idea. I'm pretty over trying to keep a dark vehicle clean. Also shows scratches very easily
- Leg room isn't as terrible in the back as I expected when driver seat adjusted to me (I'm 5' 8")
- It's a TALL truck. No steps from factory are a problem
- Passenger door panel already had a scuff unloaded from the delivery truck that wouldn't buff out

He did tell me the person who it's held for isn't being responsive so he might offer it to me if it turns into a back out situation. I'll probably still hold out for the TH.

Life has an odd way of working out.

In a twist, a different dealer I wasn't working with had a bronze oxide 6' TH become available and already delivered at the lot over the weekend in LA. This had a later build date (6/18) than the one I had on hold at my primary dealer (5/28).

Ended up jumping on the opportunity and got the exact color I wanted. Price came out to $3 more, but all in options that I didn't mind (so I got something out of it), versus a straight dealer adjustment.

If anyone is interested, I just informed my former dealer today so there's a Celestial Silver TH now available in Hayward CA. As of Sunday, Toyota lifted all holds and the TH was expected to be at the lot "any day".

Really hope thats true. Where did you hear that Toyota lifted all holds? Starting to get impatient waiting for my TH to arrive… congrats on the new truck you are one of the lucky ones.

I'm curious about this to. My dealer told me this morning that the hold was extended by another 2 weeks on all TH in a 500 mile radius of Denver. So must just be for that region?
