Corporate made a different decision but didn’t follow through very well. Creates an unprofessional look and feel to the brand. Not sure that’s the aspiration.

It only shows what is on the ground or enroute within the sales region. For some reason some regions never get some packages. I don't know if that is regional ordering driven by by sales data or what.
A dealer is married to the region. They cannot see or access anything beyond their region.
If want a specific package in a specific color then you have move the built-it tool around different regions until you find what you want then contact a dealer in that region. Once you've found the region, don't waste your time trying to find what dealer it is at because some dealers web sites really suck. Get a burner phone number from google voice and create a burner email. Find a cost-plus dealer and either ship it or fly out and make a road trip.
It's an odd way to sell vehicles but it's Toyota's way. Always has been. Back when I bought my '85, if you wanted the sun-roof you had to take the fancy stereo that had a cassette player. The damned thing was a $130 option.
Oh, there is the package that you are looking for in the Denver region.
