New wagon.

When I bought mine It didn't make the showroom floor mid 2007.
They got heaps because they were skinnier in back than the front and had cart springs and chewed up more oil than fuel.
I walked in and said that's for me and I haven't looked back.
Now they are seen for what they are and everyone wants them so I suppose there is an allocation system and you have to wait for one.
I do know there is one with your name on it either on the production line, in a boat or on the docks.
Ask your dealer because he has access to those details.
At least if you know you won't get so impatient.
A great truck, reliable and easy to service.

Hi Les,

I ordered a new 79 series Landcruiser ute at the end of April and it isn't due to arrive at the dealer until mid July. My dealer sent me through a copy of the delivery docket - yours should be able to do the same. Another option is "track my toyota" - this is a website that you can track the progress of your vehicle. Again your dealer needs to give you a username & password to access this.

Good luck with your new vehicle - hopefully arriving soon!

Cheers, Geoff

Hi Les,

not sure if you got my reply y/day. In case not, I ordsered the same in Jan, they told me 3 - 4 months & it got here in about 2 1/2 months - in time for AC instal & pickup before 3 months.
I checked with a couple of dealers at the time & they all said 3 - 4 months. Could have got one on the spot if I didn;t want diff lockers.

WORD OF WARNING.
to the lucky new buyers of the V8.
YOU have to DRIVE THE ENGINE HARD TO BED THE RINGS IN.

not doing this will cause the rings to not bed in, and your oil consumption problem will arrise.
DRIVE THEM HARD!! happy driving.

no worries.

brother inlaw has the 1hd fte ute, his work mates had the same, they bought the new v8 ute and drove it hard from day one, as in hard on the pedal, some others mention towing be a good idea EARLY IN THE BREAK IN to really bed in the rings.

problem is oil is getting past the rings and getting burnt by engines that arent run in well.

noo redline stuff, but drive it HARD and you should be sweet.

recommend outerlimits as reference as well.

they recommend the same driving early.

Cheers mate.

i will do exacly that hey it cant hurt, there are a lot of people out there complaining of the oil consumption so if driving it hard for the first 1000 or 2000 kms eliminates the problem then GAME ON.

thanks. Les
