Is my dealer full of crap?

Sounds like he wanted to find you a truck that was already in the pipeline, allocated to another dealer. Maybe swap for one of their trucks that didn't meet your requirements.
I do know that tmmx is way behind production. Almost 60,000 units behind.
Guessing they are building 400 something a shift, x two shifts a day. That's why there are long waits and dealer trading.
I wasn't supposed to get mine till December but they traded for one built Wednesday.so maybe two more weeks.

 

Slowly but surely. Was 140 Tacomas within 100 miles a week ago; yesterday was 180, and today was over 200.

If you actually got a build date your truck should be enroute to the dealer. Expect 2-3 weeks after the build date to take delivery

 

Fingers crossed

 

Mine was picked off an allocation going to a NC dealer and marked sold before any dealers had trucks here. It STILL took six weeks.

 

My dealer gets a TON of TRD 4x4's so it was already allocated there, just slapped my name on it. I also traveled 800 miles to get mine.

 

Good for you...I have done a few "fly n buys" in my time

 

Yours is riiight around the corner Josh.

 

Mine was built 10/2. Hit the dealer 10/8. I picked up 10/9. I'm in SLC. In theory Maricopa should be just as quick or better if from Baja.
