If I have my VIN #, can I track my 4runner built in Japan on its path to dealer?

My dealer gave me info that showed it was coming over on a ship named The New Century2. I did a google search for maritime info and was able to track it all the way across and at a few ports when it arrived.

I got anxious and went to the port to try and see the ship unload, but security did not like it.

Mine was supposed to hit port last Wednesday, but the dealership has not been able to give me any further updates.

Couple of ways to track (somewhat)
1. Bug your dealer - some info like when it is supposed to hit port, later freight status
2. The Toyota app - it will start to show things like odometer and fuel when they start processing at the port. It also sends a "warning alerts" to the app.
Mine has done everything (so far) in item 2. I understand that if you call Toyota, you can get the Remote Services to give more information as far as location every time it get turned on.
The process of waiting is really like the old "Where's Waldo" game :trophy:

for the port, this Toyota video gives you a very nice idea of what goes on at the port: From Ship to Showroom - Toyota Logistics at the Port of Long Beach Delivers - YouTube

That's what I ordered almost 3 months ago. The dealer told me that Toyota sends an allocation each month of maybe 100+ vehicles. And they don't even know until its in the USA and on its way to the dealership whether or not my type of car is included. It's clear as mud what is really going on. Seems like luck whether or not my car will be included. Not at all like what I'm reading others are experiencing when they order a car.
From what I understand Toyota is taking kind of an average of what most people want and making an allotment that's similar to that. Then when you get it, if you ever do, it probably won't be exactly what you wanted, but similar. Then you can accept or reject it. Very weird.
