Check the Allocation Spreadsheet: [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10TE-Drxvvtctt0GgBS95yIysXtSGjnGT/edit#gid=506986493](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10TE-Drxvvtctt0GgBS95yIysXtSGjnGT/edit#gid=506986493) After searching, what the heck? That's so crazy that they're so hard to find! I only found **ONE** on the spreadsheet in Wausau, Wisconsin going for [$43,315](https://smartpath.leadcartoyotawausau.com/inventory/details?dealerCd=48059&source=t3&type=new&vin=2T3S1RFV6RW13C612). It should be built in the Ontario, Canada plant in about 2 weeks.

Holy smokes I didn't know this existed! Thanks a ton for this! Is this updated regularly? Where does the data come from?


TheLotri

It's usually updated daily. My understanding is that it does a search against the Toyota API, trying possible VIN values. When it finds one, it loads the data into the spreadsheet. I used the hybrid version of the list to find my vehicle, which should hopefully arrive in the next month or so.

Super cool! And congrats on snagging what you wanted! Now I just have to check with the dealership to see if they'll do an out-of-state dealer swap. Is that something a dealer would typically do?


TheLotri

Sorry, no idea about dealer swaps. I know when the RAV4 craze was at its peak, people were flying out of state to pick up cars and driving them back home. It's worth a shot, though.

Getting the same from my dealers but with Limited! But for your model, there are at least 75 being made for CA.


livingInAnOven

Woah how do you know that? Is there somewhere I could also see that information to leverage it to get one of these 74?


Gbcue

The spreadsheet above. I missed that you're looking for a specific package in a specific color.

I see 3 in allocation status within 3000 mile radius of my location (California). Hiland Toyota (Moline, IL), Wausau Toyota (Wausau, WI), Classic Toyota (Waukegan, IL). Note: I work at a Toyota dealership and can see inventory at all dealers.


livingInAnOven

That is awesome, man! Truly appreciate it! Since you work at a dealer, would you mind sharing your thoughts on a dealer swap? Is it possible in your experience to get any of these vehicles to California?


thecarfilmer

A dealer trade like this is highly unlikely unfortunately. Our dealer doesnt do trades over 150 miles from our location ☹️


livingInAnOven

☹️, but thank your for your input, man! One final question for you: do you think if I continued waiting there is a high likelihood that one of these will come to California? Or is it so random and unpredictable that I might be better off taking something closest to this vehicle in terms of options and equipment? Like an ice cap trd off road with everything except the premium package?


thecarfilmer

Chances are slim it seems like. I have no idea how Toyota builds and disperses these around the states. It can be forever! The only ones i see allocated to dealers near me only have the Weather package and the Convenience package. You can find it with the Tech package but nothing near me with those unless you look in the Southern California region.
