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

My build was 6/30. Currently in Transit. My dealer said today it should be in Kansas City within 2 weeks.

 

Congrats man looks awesome! What state? My pro sounds like the one you were saying was not spoken for. I think they are doing a run of the Mt pro's this week

 

Im in NJ 5 mins from PA, the dealer is 10 mins from the stateline

 

Cool I was on koch's web site they are in PA $5000 mark up for pro. Got mine msrp northern NY here

 

They wanted $2K over msrp on my truck, we settled on $1k over

 

Hey @Rod03 any chance my truck left the port this week?

thanks!

beer incoming!

 

Still at the Veracruz port.

 

That's cool some dealers won't budge. I texted dealer yesterday and they said it was being built yesterday. Not sure how long it takes but I got a pile of stuff going here for it. Congrats again love lunar rock color.

 

The salesman told me the PRO they are having built will be there in September, build date July 22nd, build in Japan , one month trip to America, roughly 3 weeks later at dealership

 

Been lurking in this thread since Feb and thanks to everyone for all the post with advice.finally got my truck mgm dcsb sport. Got the call march from one of many dealers i was dealing with. That it was allotted to be built in April delivered may. After many delays and many different delivery dates finally got it yesterday. Thanks everyone for all the helpful post. Hope to never go thru that again

 

congrats!! Love the lurnar Rock Long bed.

 

Built in Japan??? First I heard of this. Are you sure?

 

He told me all Tacoma Pros, all versions of the 4Runner, and I believe the Camery are built in japan

 

Congrats!

 

Odd - My Tacoma TRD Pro was most assuredly built in Mexico and sent on to Veracruz, MX for a boat ride to the US, per what the VIN says and what @Rod03 said. 3TYCZ5AN6NT089527 - and I thought that the T in that was a plant in Mexico.

 

Maybe this truck is special, he showed me on the computer it said japan

 

That would be awesome, I think - and as long as you get a great truck, who cares?

 

Hello I am a longtime reader and new member of the Tacoma family! This forum is amazing and this thread has been particularly helpful. Last week I bought a barcelona red TRD Sport DCSB MT with LED/premium/tech (though was initially looking for one in army green and with advanced tech). It's fun to drive especially with the manual, and the tech features are a nice upgrade from my previous vehicle.

As many others have done, I wanted to share my timeline in case it helps those who are still waiting:

Early February - Contacted/researched about 30 dealerships within a 50 mile radius. All but 4 were charging markups, which ranged $700-10000. Two of the MSRP dealers were very easy to work with and communicated well and were actually willing to submit preference requests to Toyota for me; one did so without a deposit and the other charged a $500 non-refundable deposit (dealer 2 said to expect a 4-6 month wait). Another MSRP dealer was not taking requests but said they would let me know if they received any allocations matching my criteria. The last MSRP dealer required an in-person visit to the dealership to submit a preference request, which I declined.

Early May - Dealer 2 received an allocation for almost my exact truck, except it did not have any tech package so I had to pass on it. Dealer 1 had an allocation for a silver one with LED but no premium or tech packages. Subsequently told dealers 1 and 2 to expand my request to include army green, barcelona red or lunar rock, and either tech or advanced tech packages.

Late June - Still waiting for an allocation. Found a match on local dealer X website which was in-transit and unreserved, but they were not willing to negotiate their $4000 markup at all. Contacted/researched nearly every dealership in adjoining states and most were either charging markups, or if MSRP they were not selling to out-of-state residents. Found another match using the kissmygrits spreadsheet but dealer was 3 hours away and had acquired the truck via trade so it already had over 100 miles on it. Touched base with dealer 2 and they actually replied asking if I wanted a particular truck which they could get in trade from another local dealer Y. I turned that one down due to a few reasons including unknown mileage, but I asked if they could instead trade for the one I found at dealer X. Fortunately that truck was still available and both dealers were willing to trade. It had already arrived on the lot so it did have a front license plate bracket, but otherwise had not been washed/prepped and only had 5 miles on it. I told dealer 2 to get my truck and to not prep/wash it or apply any badging. They did the swap that evening and I purchased it the very next day (for MSRP).

The best advice I have read on this thread was to be proactive and work with multiple dealers if at all possible, especially if you are looking for an uncommon configuration as I was. The spreadsheet is great but only lists already-built Tacomas so they might have non-modifiable port options at that point and might already be reserved. I would echo another member's suggestion to keep dealers' new inventory websites open on your computer and refresh them every day. The allocation system was frustrating for me, because dealers 1 and 2 had been preferencing my build for almost 5 months without acceptance, yet dealers X and Y both received matching allocations despite them not having a buyer.

 

@Rod03 can you track this one again please? Curious if this Vin still works.

Beers heading your way

 

Hey Rod you’re the man! Some beers coming your way. Any chance you can see if my Trd off-road has made it out of Mexico? Thanks man @Rod03
