what exactly does production date mean?

Not a long time member, but searched and did not find specific answer. I know I've seen it before though.

As the title states,

is production date the 1st day or last day of assembly ?

Whatever it is....how long to build one?

When should I expect my real vin?

 

Most manufacturing plants build several vehicles in a day. So a production date would be the actual day it was built. It doesn't take multiple days to build one.

 

I need to go change my pants

 

Mine was built 10/15 - didnt show a specific date.

 

I've been told my build date will be 11/26. I prefer that be the finish date haha.

 

What did you let out?

 

It takes one day to build a Sienna.

 

Not sure we want to know...

 

My date is 11/23. With that being said, what are typical transit/shipping times? Central CA? what is the typical means of transit? Rail, truck, ship? Just curious

 

In 2014 Toyota produced 155,041 Tacomas. That is an average of about 425/day between two plants.....yeah yota is spitting trucks out like a welfare mamma spits out babies on ebt day

 

Holey Crapola Batman! That is a lot of Tacos ....

 

Hmmm, mine was built 10/29, was on the train by 11/2 and hit Portland in a week 11/9. So, theoretically, pretty fast. Just depends on how long it takes for them to get them off the train and to the dealerships at that point. I'm hoping mine will hit the dealership soon after a being a few days at the rail yard. Hopefully by Monday 11/16.

 

Since they make them in Texas I am going out on the limb and say....ship, then by taxi.

 

I thought they made them in Mexico? hmm, maybe mine is special.

 

Both places, the trucks made in Mexico come by train , then boat then taxi. The tires are often wet though.

 

When you were born or when the truck comes off the line. Or when the truck is put on a locomotive exposed to the elements at 70 MPH. Or when they peel the travel stuff off the truck, white covers on the truck off at the dealership and you hope it's what you wanted.

It don't matter till it's born, you payed your blood and you drive it off the lot. Check the glove box, been some kidney transplant things going on, and a few rear fenders full of coke.

Might be able to score a few $10k if you check! Good luck!

 

Only the back tires.....

Wet back tires. Bazinga!

 

My sis came down from Portland on Wednesday. 2 days after I got the Taco.

Hopefully you get yours ASAP!

 

Me too! Booking tickets Monday to pick it up Friday the 20th

 

Lmao at 1 car a day. Mfgs do hundreds a day.
