Order wait time

I had no idea that what I thought was a simple and innocent question would get people angry at me for apparently belittling the disaster that happened in Japan, and seeming like I have no respect for what happened. In Florida there is obviously not a lot of off roading to be done, but we have some really nasty mud/swamp, as well as a lot of dunes and such. Sorry to offend all of you, next time I'll be more careful when using these virtual smiley face things.

You didn't do anything wrong. Wanting a new truck and being disappointed you can't get it have nothing to do with a natural disaster. People just like to preach.
 
2012 Trail

I have a 2011(Non-Trail), but the deliver time from Japan to US is not very long. On the door pillar the build date is 07/11 , got it end of 08/11. I have heard that when Toyota builds a vehicle or you special order one the wait time has to do with their assembly line. They supposedly will run through many of one type instead of changing the line. I.E. they will build one type of SR5 for so many vehicles, then Limited Editions, then Trail Editions for example. They do not build to order like U.S. auto makers. So if they are not presently building the style you want with the equipment you want on it you will wait until they build that design. That is usually what causes a long wait time. I had that problem when I wanted to order a Lexus GS460. It was a 5 month wait time. I was told this by the Lexus dealership and previously by the owner of a Toyota dealership when I used to live on the West Coast. So that may be why there is a 6 month wait time. I do not really believe the tsunami is the main cause.
