Hey Royal. My TRD Pro was supposed to go through port processing today and then shipped out. I haven't heard if that happened or not yet and will ping the dealer in the morning tomorrow to see if anything has changed on their end.
Thanks brother, and good luck.

Just got off the phone with the dealer and they said mine was processed yesterday and on the car carrier to the dealer. While the Portland area to Kalispell is only around a 10 hour drive, they said they expect it in the next 2-3 days. It lands at the local Volkswagen dealership first for some reason, where it is processed locally and then taken over to the Toyota dealership. There could be a chance I could see it and have it by the weekend! I'll keep everyone updated.

One interesting quirk is, it was listed on the Kalispell Toyota site yesterday, but today it isn't. Made my heart skip a beat for a second... The dealer wasn't sure why it wasn't listed anymore, but thought it was because it was actually in route there and it is spoken for. Just a learning process along the way!

Awesome, glad to hear yours is moving. Not sure if mine is still on QA hold but hopefully Friday I will get some good news that it's moving.

Was curious if anyone with a hybrid allocation has any new info from their dealer on when their 4R might get to the dealership? I feel like I had a pretty early one with it getting to the port March 3rd, but it has been on a QA hold so no idea when I'll get it. Just wondering if anyone that had one on a later boat has passed me up, or if they are all on QA hold?
The only thing I have is a range. Late April/early May. Not sure if mine is at a port, but that's when the dealer said they will have delivery.

Only update for me is my Vspec build changed .. The cargo cover (port accessory) was removed. Maybe they ran out of them at the port... But hopefully a sign my vehicle was outfitted and processed today.

I wonder if yours is on the same boat as mine (Zeus Leader)? Left Japan on the 12th, due into PDX (Portland, OR) on the 24th. Mine is "due" 3/28-4/13
My dealer doesn’t seem to want to send me a picture of the pipeline build status page. Every time I ask I get ghosted. But I did talk to him on the phone today however. ETA moved up to 03/29-04/13. We very well may be on the same boat. He told me it’s projected to land at port 03/22. Need to ask what port, I’ll update when I find out.

Thank you for the update and exciting time. This is giving me some hope since my trd pro processing time got moved from the 17th to the 24th.

What color did you go with? Can’t wait to see some pictures of your pro.

You’re welcome and thank you! Hopefully yours will be processed soon and you’ll have it at the end of the month. Mine is black on black, which wasn’t my first choice. But, I got lucky even getting the call that one was available, so I decided to go for it. How about you?

I’m actually driving to grab this one from Tempe, Arizona. As far as I know there hasn’t been any TRD Pro’s hit GST with an ETA this soon. I could be wrong. Is West Coast port in Oregon or are there multiple?

if i remember correctly most toyota usa bound japan boats usually go thru portland for the port of entry.

GST is houston
SET is jaxport (jacksonville)

Northeast is newark (i think)

West coast can be

portland (primary)
long beach
san diego

toyota tries to avoid panama canal as much as they can, its adds about 2 weeks travel time from japan

West Coast Ports are PDX (Portland), LGB (Long Beach) and BNC (Benicia, which is east of Oakland).
