    Anyone know what time of the year Toyota catches up with demand?

    April/May?

    My dealer in town literally rolls them off the truck and they are sold within an hour or so. At least the popular trd sport and off road models.

    I'm thinking of ungrading to trd sport but I don't want to commit to the salesman.

    Would like to see a black one and blue side by side with no pressure.

    These trucks just seem to trickle in and sell fast!

    It may be awhile! Look to see who is the top Toyota Dealer anywhere close to you. They would have the best chance of any hanging around the lot for more than a day.

    The one in my city is not the top dog but close. I drive by everyday to see what they have. The shelves always look empty unless you want the 4 cylinder that's been on the lot for two weeks.!

    How you liking that red? I haven't seen one of those on the lot here.

    I bet it's a nice deep rich red.

    At the end of the month they're hungrier trying to meet their monthly targets. I got an amazing deal on mine. Almost 3k better than previous offers at that, and 2 other dealerships..... but that doesn't answer your question about availability - just when they're more likely to play ball with you.

    I've been searching for a 2016 SR5 4x4 DCSB Inferno or Quicksand for weeks in the PNW. The inventory just is not there right now.

    These trucks have been out for a while now, they should have caught up by now, I know there is a pretty high demand but it seems they should be cranking more out than what they are. Especially with 3 assembly plants. Makes you wonder if they have had production or supply problems. Anyone know how many they claim to produce per hour, or day? Any data really

    Lovin it. Depends on how the light hits it. In sunlight it is a pretty bright red but shaded it has a darker tone.

    They are opening another Saturday shift. Demand is out stripping supply In certain parts of the country. Not so much here in the South East, There is inventory.

    Just read that they produce 1 truck at just about 1 minute. Ford does the same, sells more and has more inventory. Toyota is suppose to open production to 6 days a week starting next quarter this year. That will help supply. Wonder how many hours a day they run

    I'm starting to see them fairly often in the Wichita KS area, we've got one major dealer in town that has a decent amount. Maybe 5-6 on the lot, Though may of them are 2wd. I got lucky getting my 4x4 Sport in December.

    I've seen a blue SR5, a white limited, and a white TRD Sport so far just this last week. And I've since realized that there are a crap ton of 2nd gens here. Went to a gun show last week and it was hilarious. Probably about 85% trucks there. I blended right in.

    It does here. 2WD outsell 4WDs here. No snow. Off roading is not nasty rock climbing.There is "mudding" though I don't get.......Just hunting trails any 2WD truck can traverse 365 days a year

    2wd OR to me screams Baja. Not a trail runner. Here where I live it's pretty dumb not to get a 4wd truck

    Yeah up in the snowy north. No one buys 2WD. They buy AWD or 4WD. No real need for 4x4 here (except for bragging rights or peer pressure) unless one likes mudding. I don't get that "sport" LOL

    A neighbor down the street goes mudding in a RAM. I can tell looking at his truck....Doesn't even LOOK like fun.
