Yes, I saw those in the listings but I was specifically looking for a blue TEP and found one at a dealer just outside Baltimore.
Good,luck with your new ride!

Update. My TEP was scheduled for the assembly line on 2/15 and just notified that it was built today because of steel shortage. JUST FYI.

I would be surprised about this time. Mine arrived in Vancouver, BC and arrived in Montreal, QC in only 3 days.
I just bought my trd pro 2 weeks ago and the steel shortage delay in Japan is what made me jump on it. I almost ordered one but didn't do it and then after almost waited for one coming in March but didn't do that either. I happened to call a dealership and they said they had one coming in a few days and there was no deposit on it! Went there and scooped it up. When I got there, there was 1 guy waiting in case I backed out and another guy asking about it. Phew!

TEP's seem to be pretty scarce here also.
BUT.
They can see...alot
Dealer found my TEP on the BOAT!!
It was inbound without a home, original order was canceled.
MGM TEP w KDSS :riddance: ANY day now...
Hmmm, they are telling me 10 days on the water from Japan to California. Then 30 to the mid west states. Your pipeline has 30 days on the water. Will be interesting to see what the actual pipeline dates are for yours from vessel arrival to dealership.
Let me guess, you are one of those guys who gets up at 5 am and stands in line outside Walmart because you fear an ammo shortage?

Wait...there isn't one? (Hell, the 9mm and even buckshot was hard to find at Walmart even here in the country.)
Actually, the first thing I was gonna say was that clearly there isn't a shortage in Chicago but I wanted to make sure that it was understood that my reply was intended tongue in cheek. :whip2:
olice::rain:I will let you know..
The truck was originally headed to a dealer in PA.
I do not know as of yet what port it is headed in to..Didn't ask yet
Do ALL of the trucks go through Cali.??
Port Newark brings in a ton of cars & trucks, maybe it is headed there or Baltimore. idk
Just wondering..

Mine came in through Jacksonville which is a huge port for inbound vehicles.

Makes sense to have a East and West coast port from Japan. I guess???
Shoot I guess Gulf States Toyota vehicles might all come into Houston. I don't know.
I was just thinking that even it it came into California, it would take a week going through customs etc. and then about 12 days or so to make it to Kansas.
We shall see.

I test drove my TEP at Elmhurst Toyota. I was going to come back with the wife but, before I even got back into my vehicle, a couple of guys pulled up in a 3rd Gen and started checking it out. I immediately walked back in the dealership and laid a deposit on it.
I heard they were more than a little pissed that they couldn't test drive it. :biggrin1:
