Delivery Time - SanAntonio build

Anyone know what form of transportation is used to get the vehicles from San Antonio to the dealers after they are built?

I've got the build date (1/28) and the ship date (2/12) on my ordered AC, even have the VIN #.

Chompin at the bit waiting on delivery, I'm in Norcal and feel like a kid waiting for Christmas!

 

They drive them

 

Well dammit, that sumbitch oughta be here by now.......

 

i would be very unhappy if i ordered a $30,000+ truck and someone drove it instead of shipped it to the dealership. <5 miles or im not taking possession of it. ill do the break in, thank you.

 

My guess would be by truck or train. Mine took 7 days from San Antonio and I live 4hrs away. They didn't drive it as it had less than 7 miles on it.

 

You're kidding right?

 

I paid $42K up here in Canada and the truck had 1200kms on it by the time it finally got here

 

They don't DRIVE them. They drive them on a tractor trailer... LOL
Mine had 4 miles on it when I picked it up.

 

Mine was actually by train , 19kms when I picked it up

 

When I worked for Ford they were delivered by truck transport (hadley), but they were picked up at a distribution center. I believe alot of vehicles come rail, then are disbursed to the dealers from a central location.

ordered 1/20 and have spent way too much time here at TW ever since-

 

why would i be kidding? the last two new vehicles i bought had 3 and 4 miles on them respectively. if someone DROVE it from san antonio to LA, thats now a used truck. i didnt pay for used.

ok, maybe less than 5 is a little extreme, but less than 10 is perfectly reasonable for a new vehicle.

 

Yes obviously if they drove from Texas to Cali I would be upset but <5 miles I wouldn't care.

 

They will train them to a main hub in Cali then move it by truck from there.
Congrats on the truck. I'm sure its been killing you to wait so long.

 

Mine was finished early I guess. The build sheet said it would be done 2/13, then I was supposed to be shipped to Houston, TX (from Baja) for tube steps and whatever else they have to add/do, then shipped to the dealership here in Austin. It arrived before the dealership opened on 2/15. 11mi on the odo.

 

IT's HERE-headed up after work to pick it up-

ordered 1/20/14- 45 days......................hard to tell I'm thrilled huh?

 

congrats op! i ordered mine on 3/4. i come back from afghanistan on 4/8 someone pray i get picked up from the airport by the toyota dealer!

 

shit man, I'll probably still be test driving mine around then-I'll pick you up.................................. j/k

My wife said earlier today, "bet you don't give me no shit now when i need something from the store!".

 

hey, whomever picks me up is taking me to my truck! ill have seen my fiancee a few days before in europe.. so the truck is all im after!

haha bet your wife is right! no no honey, let me go get that! shit youd almost think the truck was my fiancees idea! im going to have to fight her for the keys

 

They go out by train. They have rail lines at the rear of the factory. I'm actually working at the fire station just next door to the Toyota plant. I could walk over and check on it.. ha ha.

 

Congrats Brutha - Awesome feeling!

Now, let's get down to business:

Snap some pics and lets see it!
