    I know how to look up a VIN on Toyota's site, but if I have a VIN from a dealer on an allocation is there anyway to track that or narrow my ETA? Originally told "late Feb" last week. I was talking to them today and was told this time my "window" was Feb 21-Apr 9. Wtf does that mean? Do dealers really have no idea when their stock is coming?

    Yeah, they don't really. They get a rough estimate but are at the mercy of the railways and shipping companies.

    Does having port installed options listed mean anything? Or is that just the plan and mine could still be floating?

    @steelevo My. Man. Thank you!

    Matches dates Dealer 1 gave me. Will be interested to see how it updates.
    Dealer 2 didnt give me anything on timeline other than "couple of months" and nothing shows on this link. Crazy that it's on their website already though when Dealer 1's isnt.

    Your timeline will narrow down, once it gets on rail. You could always call your sales guy, and have them give a screenshot of dealer daily. It should give you estimated rail depart and arrivals, as well as estimated truck times.
