My Journey for a new 6th gen Platinum

[Nodak]

I have been watching the Triton Highway since it departed on 8/26 and as of noon today the roro vessel is off shore of Portland scheduled eta today at 1800. Here is the question why did the allocation list indicate the shipping status just changed from factory to port to port to dealer?? Anyone have an explanation for this?

dont go by the excel status sheet. it reads the status display incorrectly at times. its because the estimate dealer delivery screws up the script file reading the data into the excel file i think

the only status you should be looking at is on the pipeline status breakout (in red sqaure)

should look like this ...

you should be looking for the rail depart status, that will give you and updated regional port location that it will unload from and then that can give you a rough estimate of how far away the dealer is and then you can determine how long it will take to transport it by truck carrier 1-3 days i typical. but toyota likes to keep distance from regional railhead to dealers within a 200-300 mile radius to minimize lag time mostly to benefit the truck driver to weed out long hauls and fatigue. dont want the driver being tired and flipping a truck with 8-12 vehicles with about msrp of $400-$500k.

the only thing you really want to see is the on truck for delivery status "G"

"F" status will mean ship, railcar status

The vessel Triton Highway landed in Portland last night. Should hear something from the dealer soon.

awesome, my boat either lands sunday night or monday morning in portland.

i get 2 different times depending on who i look up status with


ordered lasfit liners for the whole vehicle, they arrived on friday. debating on ordering the protech screen protectors but being so late in the year and we are already pushing 40-50 over nights, i dont think i will install them since i wont have any summer heat days to dry out bubbles. on our tundra, the driver display took about 3-4 months for the bubbles to disappear.

i like the protech's since they give you the drivers and multimedia matte screen protectors. and i love them on the 23 tundra.

right now the lasfit liners are sitting in the garage upside down and flat to get the bends out since the cargo liner and the 2nd row floor liner (1 piece) are folded in transport.

I also got the Lasfit liners and they are nicer then I thought they would be material wise not hard and slippery like weather tech mates are. On the screen protector I haven't made up my mind so many choices and products. Toyota offers one $115 hard plastic, Spigen hard plastic same one I have on my phone. With Spigen I've never had a touch screen problem. My wants are. finger prints, touch sensitivity, anti glare. If anyone has a recommendation I'm open. On a side note I checked in with salesman yesterday and my platinum is still in Portland processing is completed awaiting rail to Chicago, no rail departure date as of yet, fingers crossed I'll get it by the end of the month.

You must be getting excited, it’s getting close!! I was hoping mine would beat the 9/20 estimate to port. But if it truly is going to Jacksonville first I doubt it will.

I’ve also started ordering stuff, curious to see how you like that screen protector. I’m definitely going to order one before it comes. I ordered the just released fitcamX dashcam for the 6th gen and also a bunch of little accessories like center console tray, retractable cargo cover, AJT Key Fob and I’m sure plenty more over the next few weeks. Also being black and a car a plan to keep a long time; been getting quotes for full front PPF install.

They actually moved my processing day to today’s date. Car should be at dealership by end of week or beginning of next week!

mine is still about 950 miles away from portland doing a rough guesstimate.

yeah forgot to order a new dashcam, i never re-use old ones since this one i have in the 14 4R is like ancient now. the protech i've used on the 23 tundra, dont even notice is anymore but you have to do the prep right though. the bottle they give you (just add water to the solution) is to go over board on the water application, especially on the driver display, the curve really is hard to squeeze the bubbles out and you wont get them all out. thats why you need the summer heat to dry the bubble out eventually (or use a micro fine small needle syringe to get the air out)

also have a AJT blue fob for the tundra, but it really doesnt match the tundra blueprint color. fits the heritage blue perfectly though.

probably go with my goto viofo brand and with this model

not sure if i want the 2 ch interior version or the 2 ch with 1 exterior camera

I have the Viofo A119 Mini 2, it has been pretty dang good. I'll buy another Viofo for sure if/when I get a 4Runner.

port entry doesnt entail a notification by dealer. it can take anywhere from 1-3 weeks by rail to get even close to the dealer.

they wont notify me until its on a transport truck.

plus the ship decided to take a long lunch of about 4 hrs sitting outside the channel entry. for the last 3-4 hrs it has only made like a 1/3 of the way to the port unload dock.

it was suppose to dock at 1000 hrs local time today, but now, it looks like it has been pushed to tomorrow unloading.

 

[Nodak]

well she finally made it to portland toyota logisitcs berth location. she is now in the process of turning around to get the vehicle unload platform lined up to the pier with help from a 142t tug boat columbia and a 325t tug boat willamette.

it only took about 12-14 hrs to go from arrival outside the channel entrance to the pier mooring. with about 3-4 hrs of just sitting at the mouth of the channel and then the slow creep down to the pier mooring spot. the original projection was to be moored by 10 am local time on the 15-sep-25 but as we can see she finally arrived at 11:30 pm

as we can finally see, she is now moored to the pier at around 11:40 pm

they will start unloads in the mornings during daylight and pretty much spend all day unloading the vessel.

hopefully they can get it thru PIO processing fairly quick (i have about 7-9 PIO to be installed) and it can be loaded to a railcar by friday and moved out by the weekend or monday.
