Bolted, riveted or welded all three fastening methods would result in a similar repair if rearended hard enough........... cut out the hitch, straighten the frame (if needed) install and secure a new hitch in the frame. Being the LC is a frame on construction, it would take a lot of damage to total it. A unibody really can't take much smushing before it's totaled.
I could be wrong but if it says "in transit" vs "build phase" and has a window sticker online, it has already entered freight status
There is a bit more forgiveness with the bolt on design. One of our vehicles with a factory bolt on trailer hitch was rear ended and the hitch spread and needed replaced but the frame was fine.
Makes sense but who knows...... My status has changed several times since "Vessel Arrive" the status I'm waiting on is "Arrival at Dealership"...... Fingers crossed next week!

Same man. I’m in gilbert, havent seen a single one. Ive seen 2 GX550’s
I’ve seen 1 GX. I don’t think I’ve seen a Landcruiser yet.
I apologize if you feel personally attacked. It wasn’t meant that way, it was just a little sarcasm meant to be a little humorous.
Understood, thanks for the clarification and apology accepted
Oh wow, a misunderstanding on the internet that was calmly explained and accepted.Understood, thanks for the clarification and apology accepted

We where scheduled to get our LAndcruiser First Edition June 19-24 again cancelled. Now it is showing arriving in November. What the heck is going on?
Man…that sucks. Any way you could find another one that isn’t held up?
Not trying to offend here.......... You are now like the rest of us awaiting delivery....... Mine arrived at port 4-12-24, est delivery 5-6-24, when do I expect it .... hopefully by Christmas.
Not near as bad as the Bronco rollout in 2021. Ford still holds the crown for that.
Your dealer should be able to tell you. I think the screen shots people are showing is what the dealer sees in their internal software.
November? WTF? What is the chassis number (last five digits of VIN)? Maybe it’s a very late production. It looks to me like you can pretty much line up chassis number and expected arrival except for the first few thousand which are awaiting QC.
