How long did you have to wait for your factory 2022 order/request/whatever it is called?

Hello! New here, can anyone take a look at VIN 3TMCZ5AN6NM497361 and provide an update?

 

Sometimes it doesnt say, unfrotunately you are one of those cases. See below

 

Eh that's ok, at least it looks like it's on the way . Thanks for the quick reply!

 

I didn't notice that, but yes I believe you are correct...VINs with a T are the Guanajuato plant (in central-ish Mexico), VINs with M are the Baja California plant (near Tijuana). It makes sense that one built, a train ride from the Guanajuato plant to the Mexican coast (assuming Altamira or Veracruz), then a boat ride across the Gulf to Houston(?), then loaded on a train to wherever is going to take longer.

 

Thank you, Rod!

 

The last picture I posted wasnt for your truck. I just checked yours and it left San Diego by rail on 04/28, that is the last update.

 

I feel silly, I gave you the wrong VIN from the Toyota Dealership. I should have given you 3tmcz5an6nm497361

 

My bad Ghost i mixed up the screen shots. Yours is this one, does not have ETA's.

 

That was the correct Vin gives me the same info.

 

Pauly Toyota have been great. Specifically, Joe whole I have ben working with. In my initial contact with them, they were upfront about the delays and adamant they weren't doing any markups...so I put my deposit down. The information flowing from them to me unsolicited hasn't been the best, but every time I reach out, Joe has been quick to respond and get the information I ask for. So we'll see once I my truck arrives, but I'll give them 2 thumbs up so far.

Yes, they seem to have received quite a few allocations the last 4-6 weeks...their website went from a pair of stripped down SR models, to like 10-12 SR5, TRD Sport, and TRD Off-Road models.

 

Ok @Rod03 I didnt see it, I'll go back and look, thanks brother!

 

Thank you and no worries!

 

So FWIW...in searching shipping times from BNSF's San Diego facility to Logistics Park Chicago, I found the following...

First, a map of BNSF railways automotive shipping: https://www.bnsf.com/bnsf-resources...aps-and-shipping-locations/automotive-map.pdf

Second, a transit estimator schedule. I'm not 100% sure this pertains to BNSF automotive shipping routes (it may just be standard shipping), but it's the closest thing I could find:

https://www.bnsf.com/bnsf.was6/goaltp/cntrl

If you input the departure location and destination...so San Diego and Chicago, it says about 12 days.

Again, take this all with a grain of salt...I am not sure if it this transit schedule is for automotive shipping, but it's the best information I could find this morning.

 

Side note...you in the Chicago area as well?

 

I’m beginning to wonder if the info described in this article is having an impact….

In the last three months, more than 700 railroaders have walked off the job at BNSF because of it, according to the union.

 

Same build date, and my truck left same day by rail. Bet our trucks are on that same vaporware train!

 

It certainly can't be helping.

 

Yes I live in Chicago but my dealership is St. Charles. They don't mark up but the sales person has been okay. Doesn't really give me any update unless I text her, which is like once a week.

 

Do you have an ETA on yours or do you at least know if it has arrived at Logistics Park?

 

You are the beez kneez!
