    QC hold 5/17/24 in Port

    I think even that is an exaggeration. That indicates there's noticeable difference. If you took the location of manufacture off the window sticker, no one in this thread would be able to tell the difference between the two factories.

    QC hold 5/17/24 in Port

    This. Hino has been building trucks for decades. Both factories are japanese and held to the same standards. Tahara is just more well known due to the models they've been involved in producing.

    Auto Loan Interest Rates

    I think in my case I just run down to the local branch and grab a new one. I just don't want the rate to change because of it.

    Auto Loan Interest Rates

    Same issue here! My Navy Fed check expires on 7/20 so I'm hoping the LC gets off hold before then ๐Ÿคฃ

    Anyone purchasing below MSRP?

    I wouldn't say they're consistently under MSRP but there have been 1958s sold $500-$2000 under MSRP in slower moving parts of the country already. Currently within 500 miles of Zip 22551 there are 78 1958 models that are unsold and already out of transit.

    Auto Loan Interest Rates

    I was planning on Navy Fed. Just checked penfed and it's .05% lower. I'll probably stick with Navy Fed since I do a majority of my other banking through them.

    Anyone purchasing below MSRP?

    I believe a few 1958s have sold below MSRP because they're a hard sell at sticker when the LC trim is only a bit more. I would bet approximately 0 FEs have been sold under MSRP. I'm aware of 1 (one) GX OT+ that sold below MSRP because the dealer wrecked it in the lot when it was delivered, and...

    Quality Control Delays!!

    Mine started showing the ability to download the digital key in my App at some point. I haven't done it because I don't want to.mess it up when it gets here. My salesman did say he should get an update soon. However he's still pinning it on the Baltimore bridge collapse so I'm not sure that I...

    Rear hatch rattle

    Not related to the issue at hand, but yours is the exact color and package I have coming in. It looks fantastic

    Purchase via Smartpath

    Yeah, I've experienced this twice myself. They get by with this by advertising "TSRP" and then hitting you with their actual price when you inquire.

    24 Land Cruiser 3d printed foam bed for rear cargo area?

    I plan on building a platform out of wood. Just going to make taller supports over the battery than the seats. I'd think the sleeping platform would be too big for 3d printing to be necessary or an advantage

    Java with ?

    When the dealer takes your preferences it means they're going to watch their allocations until they get assigned one that closely matches your preferences. At that point, they'll offer it to you to reserve it They may have a guy who wants black, a guy who wants white, and a guy who wants blue...

    Java with ?

    It still doesn't really change in anything in how the ordering/allocation is done. When an allocation gets randomly assigned to a dealer, and the buyer agrees to take that one, that VIN gets "reserved" by the buyer so that they can buy it when it arrives. The buyer can still back out all the way...

    Java with ?

    Means there's a VIN being built that you have a deposit on. My Wind Chill is coming in Java. I've see a fair number of incoming Heritage Blue's with the Java as well.

    Quality Control Delays!!

    56 days is also just 8 weeks. A nice even round number... It doesn't inspire confidence in the day count.

    LandCruiser LC + options vs. FE: LC works out to $6k less?

    FE doesn't have different shocks. The LC also gets the sway bar disconnect.

    First Edition Mudflaps

    One of the toyota marketing guys said in a video it was for when the mud flaps are all the way folded up, they don't slap back into the tires. Seemed kind of like BS. I don't know why that would cause any issues.

    Looks like a 70 series.

    I wondered for a second why they were teasing a September reveal then remembered they're not a US company ๐Ÿคฃ

    Quality Control Delays!!

    Yeah, it just strikes me as inventory shuffling in the computer system and nothing more.

    Quality Control Delays!!

    https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/06/03/companies/toyota-safety-misconduct/ Article is sparse on detail, but hopefully this isn't the true reason behind the holds.

    Quality Control Delays!!

    I've been deep in the rabbit hole the last 2 hours or so trying to find any way to access the web page without a dealer link. No dice yet. Seems the only way is to get a link. My dealer sent me a scanned-in print out of the website, but not a link. Seems im back to impatiently waiting.

    Quality Control Delays!!

    I'm not saying damage is impossible, but it really isn't uncommon for cars to sit at port for a little while. 2 months shouldn't hurt them.

    Excellent video explaining the 4WD system in the Land Cruisers

    I don't think so. Northern Virginia.

    Excellent video explaining the 4WD system in the Land Cruisers

    For what it's worth on the PIO front, mine is on hold and the only PIO are Door Edge Guards and the Cable Kit. Edit to mention: not First Edition either so mine isn't the roof rack. Turned down the FE offered to me.

    Quality Control Delays!!

    Unfortunately this is the case. The people on hold are a minority in the long run. It'd be way worse PR for them to announce reasons. In a few weeks the hold will be forgotten. Price of being early adopters.
