You have my envy, as no firm word on ours as yet. However, in hindsight, glad now are now getting a 2025, even if it is costing us a few more shekels.
I feel ya, Nuke. There are a few of us from the early days on this forum STILL waiting. But you are right, I think it'll be worth the wait knowing we'll get 2025's. I have to assume they've ironed out at least a few bugs.
Toyota will and has absolutely has worked out some bugs. Part of the manufacturing system allows for process improvements during manufacturing along with evaluation and improvement on parts supplied by vendors to Toyota. Toyota will not advertise these changes as its just part of doing business to them. You can go here to read more:

I work in the Aerospace industry and we use similar processes to make sure our parts are top tier and improvements are continuous. This is why I specifically waited for a 2025 to get past any first year improvements.
That is nice! Congrats!

What has been the delay in receiving your Land Cruisers? I know the right packages are in low supply, however, they are available.
Hell, I am about to hit 1,500 miles on mine and am looking to trade it in on a new one since I've read from people living in their mom's basement that these aren't real Land Cruisers and the engines won't even make it to 2,000 miles.

They are all over the place in NorCal. Depends on what you are looking for.
I am also happy having waited for the 25' year mfg vs 24'.
The base models are very available.
Area 51: Nice build! Interesting I have a similar LC build by arrangement with dealer and have been advised “middle to late Jan”. We shall see!

It's worth the wait to get the package/color you desire. We will be anxious to get your thoughts on the '25 once you get it.

Supply up here in Kanadastan has been slow at best, dismal at worst. My dealer has only seen about a half dozen since deliveries first started - and at least half of those were '58's. My colour and trim has just not come in yet, and I'm being picky.

Just like Porsche. Most likely the high percentage of the LCs go to California. About 45m people here, they sell lots of vehicles.
Porsche sends about 80% of their production annually to Ca. Since the LCs are the Porche of full sized SUVs it kinda fits.
Yep, California has more population than all of Canada at 1/25th the size. It's no wonder we're a secondary market.Just like Porsche. Most likely the high percentage of the LCs go to California. About 45m people here, they sell lots of vehicles.

Even so, northern california has suffered through an 11 week port delay this fall which has indirectly enabled dealer shennanigans like continued markups, waiting lists, and forced accessory gauging.
