unloaded from railcar, just waiting for ground transport to dealer now.

worst case is by oct-12 drop off at dealer

I hope your truck transport goes better than mine. It was loaded on truck 10/2 and dealer update showed arriving on 10/3. Its 10/6 and it still hasn't arrived, dealer daily now says 10/6-10/7. He did say a driver called them this morning to verify hours and location so he was hoping it was going to arrive today but as of 5min ago, no trucks have shown up.

Im taking a one way rental out to pick it up so i just rescheduled it to Wednesday.

do you have the oem ones or none? aftermarket ones you can get better body coverage than the oem since they usually sit flush with the body

I have a stock Platinum. So I don't think it came with any installed. Was looking for some to add.

It’s arrived! Driving out it pick it up in morning!

the only ones i know right now that are made for the 25 4R is the rally ones, but dam they are spendy, like $337 for a 4 piece set

i am tempted to go with the rekgens that i put on the 23 tundra.

@Ahmad310 I've been following this thread on yours and @Nodak build status for what seems like months and we can't get any Day 1 pictures?? We better get some Hour 1 pictures from @Nodak! Inquiring minds want pictures!! Stop looking in your garage long enough to post some pictures!

yeah yeah, got called last night from the dealer, wasnt a vehicle update. they called for us to come in and start the paperwork so when it does arrive, i only have to sign them and be out the door.

doing that on friday, transport truck is expected to depart today and arrive at dealer tomorrow. not holding my breath on that projection

 

[Nodak]

this will be my last dealer daily update. looks like truck delivery changed from 10-6 to 10-10 the other day to 10-9 to 10-10 truck delivery.

only takes about 10 hrs to drive from daytons bluff, mn to minot, nd dealer. so the lastest will be dropped off sunday.

just got a call from the dealer that the vehicle is now in GT status (ground transport, ie : loaded on transport truck)

should be dropped off tomorrow afternoon. its rare that they get sunday deliveries since they usually only get thursday shipments (arrives friday) but it seems they got a double delivery at the regional staging port. they had 8 delivered yesterday and another 6-8 tomorrow. dealership will be closed tomorrow so i can drive up there and take some pics before they open on monday.

funny how this came about just like my 2014 4R. came in on a sunday also.

mine and another guy i know at the dealership is waiting for his red 4R also. apparently they only shipped those with rail arrivals between 9-19 and 10-1, which meant mine on the 10-4 was outside the window for yesterday's delivery.

should have it in the garage by monday afternoon. good thing monday is a holiday for me but not for the dealership.

update 2025-10-12

finally arrived at the dealer today sometime between 2-5 pm today. wasnt there at 2pm and just drove by at 5pm and it was in the back row.

verified it was mine with the vin sequence number on the paperwork on the front windshield hanging from the rear view mirror.

will go around 10am to do the paperwork and wait for the wife to finish work to do final signatures around 4pm. should be in the garage by 5pm.

then let the games begin
