Texas + black car = remote start :cool:
I personally wanted everything as black as I could get it, I was bummed I couldn't get the Platinum interior in black or I would have.
Mine has been sitting in a staging lot for 12 days, waiting to get on a truck for delivery. Once I get it (they say "hopefully within 1 more week") I'll circle back with some pictures (y)
If you call, the folks should be able to send a remote signal to the car that resets the connection to the antennae - I had this issue with a new Venza and couldn't use any of my Connected features until they intervened.
I called while sitting in the car in the driveway to make sure a good...
Mine has been "ready to be delivered to your location" for 11 days. Like it's chilling, staged in a lot somewhere just waiting on its turn. I'm thinking they are slammed with the release of QC hold and trying to get these bad boys out.
My buddy picked his up yesterday (was a QC hold SR5) and...
This could be due to hydraulic oil that dripped onto the window during shipping (from one of the big haulers). Happened to me when my Venza got delivered and no amount of soap and water would remove it from the glass, I didn't realize til a mechanic told me what it was. You can try to get at it...
I see in some videos that the area around the rear window is magnetic, which helps with using things like magnetic window screens for camping, but info about the rest of the rear door or rear bumper area is sparse.
Has anyone tried to use anything magnetic on the rear?
Buddy of mine had QC hold applied in May. Religiously checking up on his tracking (like all of us lol) he saw it in Freight/Rail Yard status, no movement. He has the 4WD SR5.
Today his status skipped over a few entries and went right to "Delivered, not yet Wholesaled". There is hope!

The HUD was my deal breaker. Having one on my last 2 Venzas, every time I drive another car I subconsciously look for it and find myself forgetting to look down at my speedometer when it's absent. It's one of those 'once you have it, you always want it' things for me. Such a godsend when doing...
I personally think it depends on how congested the dock is, how many orders are ahead of yours, whether or not the shipping vessel got caught in bad weather, etc. Here's my timeline, I'm guessing it just varies from day to day. Mine spent 7 days at sea, but my buddy's spent 9 days.
Build begins...
I don't have my 4R yet so can't measure for you, but I would imagine if you're looking to hang a jacket, assuming it's 40% of your overall height (which is an average) then you could assume it'll be able to hang without touching the floor. Of course it depends on things like the seat adjustment...
Just ordered these on Amazon, 5 bucks for a 4 pack and they do the trick for hanging jackets, grocery bags, purses, etc behind the driver and passenger seats.
I can say that QC Hold is usually confidential - I have friends on the other side, they say even internally when they order a company car if it's QC Hold the reason explanation isn't shared. But it's expected that they're pulling the car for a reason to make sure it doesn't get delivered with...
