GX550 30 Day Stop Sale?

Hold released. Tentative delivery of July 6th.

OT+ Incognito
5/9 - Cold called Priority of Newport News, VA and they had an allocation available. MSRP with no dealer add ons. Took a $2k non refundable deposit to hold the allocation in my name. Was waitlisted with pohanka and lindsay since March. Started to get impatient waiting since i was deep on their lists.
~6/11 - Arrived in Jacksonville

Looking forward to hitting up Peters Mill Run, Flagpole Knob, Unions Spring, and Assateague OSV this summer/fall. Any other suggestions within 3-4 hours of the DC Metro Area? Ready to jump back into my off road adventures as a teenager with a 98 Cherokee. Since then had a 14 Fiesta ST and 18 Golf R.

Hoping they honor my request to not mount the front license plate bracket!
Congrats! I also did some old school wheeling in a Cherokee.

Good call on the front license plate bracket. I didn’t even think about that but I try and avoid that with my current cars.

I too am waiting on a OT + incognito from Priority Newport News,Va. They say July 7-12 for delivery. Put my deposit down on 5-4.
Wife has 2023 GX-460 premium which she loves.

seems like some of us who had orders before are getting shipped / delivered over by cars build later ??
Yep. We were told last Friday ours was released from hold and now I check yesterday on progress and still processing at port and delivery window stretches into Aug. At this point, whatever.

Weird how ad-hoc this is with people on deposit lists for almost a year waiting with bated breath and others taking delivery almost as soon as they make a deposit.

Not too weird. I think there are two factors.

1. Particulars. Some people want one trim, one color, and an exact spec. I was looking for OT/+ in anything except white and earth.
2. Demand. Every dealer i spoke to in the DC Metro Area had a wait list "80+" deep. Moment I started cold calling dealers in Southern VA, NC, West PA, and Ohio they had availability. Granted it was mostly Prem/Lux trims.

I think the hyper demand is isolated to demographical areas that have an abundance of people in the market for $80k+ SUV's. Make some relationships out of you region and taking a train/plane for pickup might land you a deal.
 
Ridecanyon, same thing happened to me. They told me last week would deliver to dealer from QC hold between 7/1 and 7/17. Now my sales guy texted me the photo below, delivery date moved 2 weeks into August. Pretty bummed out this keeps dragging out at every turn for me

Wow - glad you were able to get it that quick. I have a feeling you're going to be among the fastest from time you got on the list until time you have it in your hands.
I didn't even place a deposit and I was able to purchase an overtrail last month

another factor is that I think those of us who were designated an early allocation (ours arrived at port 4/30, then on hold 5/17) but are caught up in the hold are then "hidden" from the list and skipped over as new GX's are available for allocation since we are already taken car of in the eyes of the process. It's not easy to navigate as how would you pull someone further down the lists allocation to replace an earlier allocation stuck in hold?
 
Very good video!

And how long does this train ride take!?

Bad news good news.

Bad news.

Very similar for me too. OT+ was released and had delivery date for last 4 days and dealer watching trucks every day for my unit. Then suddenly changed yesterday and it was delayed. My dealer checked further and it is now on hold for another “inspection” on July 2 with no info for delivery after that.

Good news.

Shortly before dealership close someone backed out of a deal on a OT same color i wanted, they called I went down took a look and accepted it. Gove up a few options but saved a few bucks.

She comes home today.

I’m at dealer now. My original OT+ has been updated with delivery 7/2 - 7/8. It’s available incognito MSRP is 81K. Southwest Florida area. Trying to help great sales person. They do charge $995 doc fee and no other add ons. Message me if interested

My Toyota and Lexus dealers are next to each other under the same ownership. I'm a known customer with 4 Toyotas purchased in the past. The dealer came up with a GX for me pretty quick, saying since I'm local to him (like 2 miles away) and he knows I'll be driving it locally and he get to service it.

When the GX allocation was offered to me the first time, I paused to check with my wife and another salesman got a commitment on that unit. That deal fell through as quick as it happened and I got a text saying the allocation was back being offered. I jumped with a deposit.

Then that cursed hold hit. I'm due to close the sale and take delivery July 3.

Only speculation maybe it depends on models ordered,they weren’t making a lot of overtrails and OT+ they weren’t forthcoming on hold so it’s anyone’s guess hope all who are in that boat gets resolved quickly
 
I think the launch has been pretty heavily botched.

Clearly they are shipping trucks to dealers that don’t have firm reservations and that’s where people are able to take advantage and get an order quickly.

Seems to me they shouldn’t be allocating cars to dealers without reservations for them while the pre order list is still this long.

Month 14 since my pre order here.

Not completely convinced on that idea they’re not talking on how they distribute vehicles but I do agree they shouldn’t do allocation without reservation first com first served
 
Got a call from my sales guy, OT+ released from QC from Portland port and delivery date is sometime between tmrw and July 9th. Car arrived in port may 1st and been in QC hold since then.
