Tacoma Deliver Hold @ Port??

I bought a 2023 Tacoma Feb 7, it was already coming down the line and i was told it would be here tomorrow 3/6. i contacted my salesman yesterday to confirm its arrived and he said its on "delivery Hold @ port" and wasnt sure why?? all tacomas apparently

can anyone shed some light on why its on hold, and if it happened to anyone else how long it took to get delivered to local dealer from port

THANKS!

 

I bought one at the beginning of February and I was told it would be here at the beginning of April and I got a call on Thursday saying it would be here Friday or Saturday ready for pickup Monday or Tuesday. We’ll see if I get any other information between now and then.

Awesome thanks for your response ! keep me posted, im going to go down to the dealer in person tomorrow and see if they can give me a better time frame on ETA. my salesman just said "its on ship hold for some reason not sure when it will get here"

 

Well welcome for starters
you don't say where you're located, different regions have different issues
could be manufacturing delay problem but that should hit all regions
transport problem ether brake down or weather delay
transportation accident, damaged in shipping
Port is out of parts that they need to put on so it is held until they can get the parts (can totally see the SE doing this for their junk)

 

Im in northern Nevada and they said mine is being built in San Diego ca

 

Well, no trucks are built in the US (the assembly line is in Mexico. was So Cal, then Texes, now Mexico)
Now the Port may be in SD (IDK) where the finishing touches are put on (steps and so on)

 

yeah idk either. All I know is it’s suppose to be there yesterday or Friday ready for pickup tomorrow or Tuesday. I haven’t got a call saying otherwise. I’ll post when I get it!

 

Could be weather...

 

Everything that comes in through the port has to get cleared through customs first.

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Thanks for the welcome gentleman!! Sorry I didn’t specify I’m in South Carolina, Myrtle Beach area so SE Region, which I read they have a port in FL ?


Thanks for all the input I never thought of weather or accessories shortage at port , I appreciate it

 

UPDATE- I just left my dealer in SC they said its on hold until 4/7 but do not have a reason why, she also said theres a good chance itll be released by the end of the month to make room for more stock at port.. I will keep you guys updated if i find out any reasons why

 

that sucks. Mine got unloaded off the truck today at the dealer. I pick it up Thursday.

 

@MGM.DCLB.Nic congratulations man!!
how long did you wait from putting the deposit down until now when it arrived at the dealer ?

 

Thanks! I’ve never owned a brand new vehicle before. Glad it’s going to be a Tacoma. And I waited one month.

 

I put my deposit down at the beginning of February. They told me it would be here at the beginning of April so it’s a month early!
