How's everyone's order times looking at the moment? I ordered a VX last week, my first ever Toyota. I haven't heard back from dealer with confirmation email but they're saying 4-6 months.

Ordered my VX on 4th November, pickup tomorrow 4 March.

Additionally, has anyone heard/read about a possible tech change in Aug this year? Something to do with ADR 85/00 compliance (Side Pole Impact Performance). Details are scratchy but the update is mentioned toward the end of this article under updates lined up for 2022.

from order to potential delivery 3 months. ordered on the 9th of Sept

Strike lucky! Ordered a GXL in late Sept and have been advised I got a build for this month. Not sure for delivery but shouldn’t be too far away

That is good news. Far quicker than most. Production must be ramping up.

I was advised my GXL has now been been built and will be at the dealer in the second week of January. I suspect yours will be on the same ship.

Spoke to our dealer yesterday about the GX we ordered at the end of July. They advised production is scheduled for January with ETA being March. If you're looking for an update it could be worth giving them a call as I was told there are restrictions on what they're allowed to put in writing

HJP, I ordered a GXL with premium interior back in May and had no update until recently the tracking system shows that it’s scheduled for production in Dec and the ETA would be mid Jan next year. We were originally told by the dealer the ETA would be Sep when we placed the order. We will have waited 8 mo if Toyota can deliver it next Jan.

Finally some good news. Got a call from my dealer today to say my Prado will be built next month for January delivery.

IF it is delivered then it will be 9 months.

I feel for the guys waiting for RAV4s or Cruisers. A mate went to a dealer a few days ago about a Cruiser and 2023 was suggested. The RAV hybrid is over 12 months apparently.

Thanks for the heads up Darren, if I'd not got the call today, I'd be onto them tomorrow.

Hi Guys.
if anyone is interested. I had my Prado’s 1st inspection today at the Dealership. I was talking to the salesman that sold me my car and he said he has a Crystal White GXL which was canceled. It will be arriving in January. Dealer is Pennant Hills Toyota. ( Sydney). Salesman is Con.
Hope it helps someone. Cheers. Darren

Yes surely did. Ordered 10 June. Arrived at dealership 5 Oct. did the rounds of ARB. pedders. Then the tyre shop and I picked it up on 24 Oct. (GVM label took just over 3 weeks. Very happy. Dealer said I was pretty lucky as wait time has blown out to 7-9 months according to the dealer. But ironically they have a White VX sitting on the showroom floor that has been there for at least 4 weeks. It has plates on it so unsure if it’s a demo or a order that has fallen over. I think some of the bigger dealers in the metro area get better allocations but the downside is they are less likely to do amazing deals. So I probably didn’t get the best deal but very happy I’ve got my Prado. [/QUOTE]

That’s great news mate, it also gives me some hope that mine isn’t far off as well!

[HJP]

Congrats Darren, I got a good deal but no car, so I know who the winner is! (Hint, it's not me) Did you get the dealer to get the fit out done at ARB etc? Thread drift ,but what's deal with the GVM label and the fit out?

Send a PM please if that's Ok so we dont clog the thread with off topic discussion.

Darren, did you get your GXL ?

Hi all.
been lurking for a while 1st post. Ordered a Graphite GXL with factory leather on 10/06. Was told by dealer delivery was early August. Got delayed to late August then delayed until late September. Got notified by the dealer that the car had arrived at Port Kemble last Monday 20/09. And would be at dealership on 28/09. Hope to see it soon.
but it has to go for GVM upgrade, barwork and wheels and tyres before pickup so hopefully I should take delivery around the 14/10. It’s been a long four months.
Cheers. Darren

Darren, did you get your GXL ?
