    I went into the dealership on 4/8 after having been out there on 3/20 for a test drive. Asked my guy if he could get me something without a bunch of PIOs. Told him I wanted a white TRD Off-Road Premium without a bunch of the crap from distribution. He was like, "Oh, man, that's tough... Let me see what I can do."

    He showed me a VIN that was packed to the gills with PIOs. Told me that was his next allocation but it hadn't been built yet and they weren't expecting to see it within 30 to 90 days.

    It had all this attached to the VIN:
    - Predator Drop Steps $745
    - Blackout Package $349
    - Spray-On BL $575
    - Connectivity Kit $75
    - Carpeted Floor Mats $275
    - Bed Step $455
    - Vehicle Protection Package ($599)
    - Black Chrome Exhaust Tip $130
    - Dash Cam $499

    $3702 in accessories.

    I asked if he could find me a truck just like that but with just the Steps, Bedliner and Exhaust tip because I was planning on replacing or removing everything else. He asked me to give him some time to work on it. Typically, with other dealerships I had been talking to, this is where it ends. They simply say they can remove the PIO's because GST is their distributor and that's what they put on it.

    However, three hours later he texts me with the exact same VIN but now it just has Predators, Spray In and Black Chrome exhaust. I put my name on it and he told me they've been getting allocations earlier than scheduled lately, for what it's worth.

    So, keeping track of the truck, it came out of build status on 4/12 it was in Port on 4/17. On the truck on 4/21 and scheduled to hit the dealership on 4/22.

    About 20 minutes ago my guy sent me a video of the delivery truck pulling in with my truck on the back.

    4/8 to 4/22. That's gotta be some kind of record!

    Pretty sure there was one delivered in AZ that took 4 or 5 days total.

    If you're close to the plant I can see it getting done that quick, awesome news they were able to remove all the crap on it for you.
