My Journey for a new 6th gen Platinum

[TRD Pro or Die Trying]

Congratulations! Love it, looks so mean right off the lot!

You gotta change your profile info from 'Platinum' to 'TRD Pro'. Tell @Everybodyduck that you came to your senses and switched from a Platinum to a Pro like I did.

Thank guys! Yeah I’m going to do ceramic tint all around and dark it out. Also going to do 70% windshield. Not liking the fishbowl look lol.

Is it really a case of coming to your senses, or is it availability? You longed so much for the Unicorn trim, but alas, had to change your name and beliefs and settled for the pony without a Golden Horn. It's okay, we don't judge you. I am happy that you can rationalize your deep disappointment into the belief that you were always meant to roll in a different trim. Did I mention my ride is so smooth that sometimes I question if the wheels actually touch the ground?

Like riding on a cloud. Exactly what 4Runners are known for.

Good luck! Hope you get an update and its a good one! I just refreshed mine on Toyota.com listing of it and it now changed to " Vehicle may be in transit. Estimated availability 10/01/25 - 10/11/25 " So I assume that means processing is complete?

transit could either mean railcar or truck transport (they will be entered as status "F"), i am guessing railcar.

get a pipeline status update for rail depart/rail arrive (this will take 1-2 weeks) or truck delivery (1-3 days).


it will only goto "G" status once it unloads at a dealership (in the picture its denoted by the white "A" on black background) it will change from "A" allocated, "F" freight, "G" ground, "FI" is hold status (QC, Stop Sale, or just on Hold)

usa made vehicle will NOT show vessel depart/arrive columns (see 2nd pic, pulled from our 23 tundra status)

status as of today ... still port processing (PIO)

will hit the dealer on friday hoping the processing date is indicative of when it gets out of port processing and loaded to a railcar.

 

[Ahmad310]

Processing date slid back 5 days to 9/30 now. No rail on mine, just straight to truck.

kinda weird you have no railcar columns. i mean ~650 miles is not a easy stretch by truck to move, but 2-3 days of truck transport is probably quicker and maybe cheaper

i have never seen truck transport take longer than 3 days, toyota doesnt like long distance truck transport, that is what railcar is for.

Yeah not sure if there is any of the localized rail ports between NJ and WV (mine is being delivered to a dealer in Charleston WV). My sales guy said he hasn't seen any of their cars show rail, its always from port to truck.

well that explains it, being in WV is kinda pointless to railcar it from newark port.

its like the other guy buying in portland oregon, he has no rail status either. me i have no choice but have to wait for a railcar.

we had to wait for our 23 tundra to railcar from Texas to Minnesota then truck 1 day to minot, nd.

i imagine it will be the same for my 25 4R from portland

Oddly enough, Ohio cars come through Portland port and rail all the way east which is surprising they don't come in on east coast and rail from there. I'll keep my fingers crossed that both of our dates move to left! Im way to excited for this to arrive lol!
