The Waiting Game...Who's playing?

Where are you at? I'm in SoCal, but ordered about 400 miles north. I ordered on 10-29-15 and do not have a build date yet.

 

I'm in NE Ohio. One thing I've learned is to go to the largest volume dealer.... They will have the most pull. Toyota is reimbursing me with at least $1,000 maybe more depending on the date of delivery due to the wait. Talk to your dealer about it, it's from Toyota not the dealer and you have to submit the paperwork after you've signed and purchased the truck. Good luck.

 

I started trying to broaden my search on cars.com to see if I can find what I'm looking for (DCORLB with P&T). Not a single entry shows bed size. Can't call or email every OR listing to ask about bed size...

 

So how are you guys tracking them with the vin?

 

high quality, high powered scopes mostly

 

Was given a 4/5/16 port date last week that was changed to 3/25/16 today. Still gonna be almost 6 months from order to delivery.

 

Dealer is looking for my SR5 LB but apparently the end of month monster ate all of the them up in the western PA area up. Said I may have to wait up to 6-8 weeks for my new ride. I swear I'm going to die waiting!

 

Death is a poor option. Have a beer instead

 

Finally got my taco!
Order date=1/1/16
Build date=1/26/16
Pick up date=2/2/16

 

I'm officially playing the game with the rest of you! I have been deployed for the last 6 months and my car was totaled a week before I left. So this entire time I have known that I had to buy something when I got back. So here I am leaving this month to go back to the states and I started emailing dealerships at the first of the year. Out of 14 dealerships within 50 miles of my house only about 5 would give me the time of day. One even politely told me to F off, I guess he felt that I was being disrespectful with the offer I was giving him. So I finally got a dealer to play ball, found a truck, went to put the deposit down and it had already been secured by someone else. They had another one coming in just like it only it had about $1300 in extra accessories that I didn't think I wanted. Long story short there really isn't much else available in my area that my dealer could get a hold of. So my wife told me to stop messing around and just put the deposit down. So I did, dealer told me yesterday it was at the port and they are expecting it at the dealership within the next week or two. Details are:

TRD O/R
MGM
DCSB Auto
Perf & Tech w/ JBL
Tonneau
Tow
TRD Air Filter
Paint Protection Film
Bed Extender
Bed Mat
Cargo Net
Mudguards
Cast Aluminum Running boards

A whole bunch of stuff on there, but in the long run some of it like the bed extender and bed mat I probably would have bought either way. The running boards I wasn't too sure about and may still take them off and try to sell them. I just need to see it in person. So between finally coming home and getting a new truck, these next couple of weeks are going to be fantastic!!

 

Thank you for your service. Good luck with your new Tacoma.

 

Sweet awesome looking truck

 

How much does that model run, that's the exact truck I'd like if they made it. And was it available in Orange.

 

So for real fellas, I have a vin # now. How are guys checking the status?

 

Rock! that's progress. As far as I know, you must rely on the dealer for that info. They get weekly reports based off of vin #. Starts with a estimated build date and delivery date can be 2-4 weeks after that in most cases.

 

Cool, yeah I wasn't sure if there was some sort of online thing you could log into to find out. Yeah luckily mine I was able score as an allocation for my dealer that wasn't spoken for yet. I paid for some accessories that I probably wouldn't have ordered but hey it will all work out in the end. She told as of yesterday it was at the port and that they are expecting it next week or two. It's going all the way up to Bremerton WA.

 

Well getting closer to leaving the"Waitting game". Truck should be off the rail line and on a truck for delivery to dealer. Earliest will be Saturday and worst case I guess is Monday, as long as there isn't any accidents, snow, ice, tonado's hurricanes or Godzilla shows up and eats the truck

 

Same here. Got lucky and a buddy found one in his area, made the trade with that dealer and will have it for me within 2 weeks tops. It had the JBL speced but that's ok as I'm sure I'll dig it. I was able to delete some small shit off the build sheet but not that part. Maybe our trucks are keeping each other company during the trip.

 

Dealer just told my mine should be in next week. That makes it right about the norm.....3 months from order to delivery.
