    Maybe it didn't pass inspection and got held back. I had that happen to my truck. Based on what I was told, the bumper color didn't match the color of the rest of the truck. Apparently they were painted at two separate facilities and there was some kind of miscommunication or something. I wasn't told how long it will take to fix, other than it could take weeks. I ended up canceling that order and finding another truck.

    Chit happens! Let me guess you are in the instant gratification generation? Sometimes you have to wait on things longer than planned! Be patient your truck will get here when it gets here! These are not built in the states anymore so logistics, quality holds happen! It is what it is at this point!

    The dealer has no idea. With Toyota, dealers buy from distributors which buy from factory.
    Dealers order from distributor. Distributor has orderd many trucks (tens of thousands) with every configuration, more of the most popular. These trucks are scheduled to come in over a period of months. Once the distributor confirms date, dealers are notified.
    This is how it works. Hate it or not.
    If you get your feelings hurt over delivery date slipping then walk away. I guarantee there is a guy right behind you that will take your allocation.

    North America needs to get their shit together when it comes to trade. Vehicles assembled and sold with in the US don't have as many logistics hurdles.

    So what I have noticed is that the ship leaves Mexico about once a month after they get the lot full. So if you have a truck built any the beginning of the month and the ship doesn’t leave until the 26th it will sit there. Can also get pulled for inspection which also delays.
    Does it suck? Yes ,, is there anything you can do? Yes and no. You can move to another brand or you can just wait like everyone else who has bought a Tacoma the last three or so years. Nothing has changed and nothing is going to change. It is what it is.

    Wow this just happened. Been talking with a sales person at Marysville Toyota about an allocation for the last month. Sales person told me I could not leave a deposit until the truck was built and in transit. It was built last week so I inquired yesterday about it. She responded today and said sorry we traded your truck to another dealer BUT we have another one on allocation in a Black. I told her specifically NO black or white in the beginning. I am more than frustrated that I waited a month for a truck I can’t buy. Never will I ever step foot in that dealership again. So yes dealers will flat out lie to you about everything just to keep you on the hook.
