How long at the port?

St. Louis lol. I believe mine was one of the many hanging out in Long Beach.

 

Picked mine up today! Already did the first mod, I installed the running boards.

 

Mines still there hahaha

 

I've been lurking following this thread to get a idea of my wait time based.

Mine will probably be shipped with or around the same time as your's lol. Your ETA lines up with mine and you're a stop before me coming up I-5 lol.

 

Hopefully these couple of days go by fast so we can get our 4Runners already! Can’t wait!!

 

Are those rock sliders ?

 

Actually no, they are Westin running boards, but they have the look of sliders and I got them for $400 instead of $800+. I’m happy with them so far, I put them on the same day I got my 4Runner. It took less than an hour to install.

 

Ours was built in August, shipped to Portland, went freight status on or around Oct. 12th I believe. Our dealership in East TN continues to give us a Nov. 8th - 15th estimate, but they keep reminding us that it all depends on trucker availability. I asked if the dealership receives any further updates, i.e. when picked up, progress across country, etc. but they said no. Has anyone else's dealer been able to give them a heads up regarding the specific date as it got closer, or did you just receive a surprise phone call the day of or day before it arrived?

 

I would think your would come rail as Far East as Chicago and the get put on a semi. I was told Chicago is a hub for us East guys. Mine came on rail to Chi town then truck up to Detroit.

Your dealer can tell you easily. Mine gave me updates every few days and could tell where it was at any moment in time

 

Makes me a little paranoid - I have had to call weekly for updates ever since paying the deposit the first week of October, and no other specifics have been offered even when pressed. Super frustrating.

 

I am sure the truck is fine, just sounds like your salesperson does not want to do any extra work. My sales person would text me and say hey it’s in Montana today or wherever. Mine had to spend Memorial Day weekend in chi town so I reminded him saying it was sitting for four days in a rail car for extra long holiday.

Hang in there bud I know the anticipation

 

I put my deposit down at the beginning of august and I get no communication, even when I ask. Just that the port is such a mess there’s no ETA and it keeps getting pushed back. Mine is a ‘21 lunar rock Pro, I may end up with a ‘22 lime rush pro if it is more available lol.

 

Got word mine is being loaded on the truck today and should be at the dealer later today/tonight! I'll pick it up Saturday

 

For a given port, do some dealers somehow get their cars out of port and onto trucks faster? Some dealers in in Seattle area I asked last month were saying two weeks while others are saying a month or more once a car arrives at port.

 

Congrats!!!

 

To answer the OP's question...too long. LOL

I have a ETA of 11/2- 11/8 on the first on and 11/9-11/15 on the second.

Carvana picked up my sons car Monday and I had to rent a car today to get us by.

 

It all varies and depends on if it needs more accessories added on in port. It's mostly safe to say 3-4 weeks once it hits port, mine arrived 10/6 at portland and now 4wks later arriving. I'm only 5hrs north of the Portland port, so like mine being loaded on the truck and arriving same day isn't a big surprise.

If they say 2wks, take it with a large grain of salt lol, always a lot of variables involved in getting logistics from point A to Point B

 

It seemed like they were quoting on the low end just to make it look better than the competition in the area. Other possibility is that they are getting from another port, but that seems unlikely.

 

Small update from Longo Toyota today that the shipping vessel is scheduled to arrive in port tomorrow (11/5) and, if it's on time, arrive at the dealership in a week.

Sure they may be trying to keep my attention by quoting short, but it's not like there isn't a long line of folks ready to snatch it up if I pass. Let's see what happens...

 

Either my dealer dropped the ball or its straight up just toyota wanting to pump vehicles as fast as possible, I'll have to schedule a day to get the trd exhaust and wheels i had originally wanted, installed. But not a huge deal, just glad i pick the 4runner up tomorrow morning. I'll make an actual intro afterwards.

 

How much are they charging you for the exhaust? I'd skip it if I were you, better options out there for the money.

 

925 for the exhaust, and that's not terrible to me. I'm used to an exhaust costing over 1k for my other cars lol.

Talking to the dealer, sounds like the port isn't doing any of the stuff requested outside of the all weather floor trays and front usb outlets, due to short staffing and how backed up they are currently.

 

One of mine showed up after 5PM today. Going to try to pick it up early this week, dealer is about 200 miles away from me.

 

Mine showed up at the port on 6 Oct and went to freight status on 4 Nov; just short of 30 days All that needed to be installed at port was floor mats. Dealer has an estimated land date of 23-29 NOV. This was at the Portland Port and the dealership is in Paris, TN.

 

I feel like I’m the only one still waiting for mine with no info! I talked to my dealership 10/29 and still no word or change at that point. Nothing since.

 

Have you gotten a VIN yet? Once I received my VIN I added it to my Toyota app and once they started to work on it at the port I received a ton of notifications.

 

Yes I have a vin and tried to addd it to my Toyota app but it errored out and went away lol. I will try again to add it!

 

My GX was built on 8/31 and got through the Long Beach port on 10/13.

It's in Freight status, howeve, it's been pushed back twice now. The lastest estimate is 11/15-11/22.

The hitch was also removed from the build at the port due to issues with the hitches.

Had I known what I know now back in June when I sold my 4Runner I never would have sold it.

This is attempt #5 at actually getting a vehicle.

 

You're not alone unfortunately. Still waiting in East TN. I don't receive any information unless I call the dealership, and the most information I get is "no new information. Estimated Nov. 8th - 15th."

I added the VIN to the app, and it shows up in "My Garage", but I don't see any location or activity information. Is there something else I should do in the app to see more info?
