    Toyota says regular customers can't track their vin number through the build process. Does anybody here have access to it? Mine's due for delivery the 21st of this month. So CLOSE!!! And I'm IMPATIENT!

    They're so rare around here I ended up buying this having never even sat in a 4runner or really getting a good close look at one. Going on it's features and reputation! I saw a light gray one going down the road last week. THAT'S IT! LOL!

    But, yeah. As mixed up as everything is with the Covid, it's be nice to be able to track the delivery!

    Anticipation! It's almost like waiting for opening day of deer season, or fishing season, and almost getting "sick" over the whole deal. I'm pretty sure it will work out. Congratulations to SrirachaHOT and EKBeck20 on the new 4Runners, and a big welcome to the forum to you both from Wisconsin

    Some years back, I custom ordered a Mini Cooper. (Unlike most manufacturers they encouraged that sort of thing.) I knew what day it was being painted, what day it was road tested, and what ship it came over on. Was a fun process.

    I forgot to mention: Do a search on Google (VIN search). It helped me a little bit, I wanted to find out where the dealer got my '20 ORP, they did a dealer swap and the salesman said " I'm not sure where we got your 4Runner", then when I told him where they got it, he opened up. I don't know if this will help you in your situation, but give it a try. You may have to try a couple of different sites listed. Good luck!

    It was satisfying to download the Toyota phone app & fill in all the personal information...

    For about 10 minutes!

    Thank you guys all for the welcome!

    Also downloaded the 500+ page owners manual today. So that'll burn some time!

    I don’t think they get a real vin number till after built. When I got my new taco, they gave me a vin number during the build, it didn’t match, so I used that against the dealership to save a few bucks.

    SE Michigan. I've been watching like a hawk for 4runners and have seen a total of TWO in three weeks driving almost every day! SE MI is Chevy country. Pickup, SUV, cars, mini-vans, you name it! The Chevy dealers will drop $10k off a sticker price without a blink! So that garbage SELLS (Trading in a 2017 Z71 myself!)!!

    The dealer couldn't find one ANYWHERE even for a test drive. I'm buying mine having never even sat in a 4runner before!
