I don't think your dealer GM knows much. Haven't there been a bunch of LCs delivered already? Why would they deliver trucks if they knew there were problems 2 months ago?

I have heard sunroofs are the issue, VSC is the issue, and now port installed items…..which means nobody knows jack at this point.
Whatever the issue, I hope they resolve it soon!

FWIW the only port options mine has are the door edge guards and the $70 usb cable kit, and it's on hold.

Mine is supposed to be at the dealer anywhere from May 28 to July 5, which is the same date range it's been for at least the last 2 weeks.
If it hasn't even landed at the port yet, I think it's safe to say the May 28 date isn't happening. There are a few port-installed options on mine, too.
Not in a huge rush as I've still got to strip some stuff off my LR4 and then sell it.

I heard it's the rear diff - they mistakenly installed the 8.2 instead of 9.5.

And luckily TNGA-F is all modular, so they just undo four bolts and the 8.2" can be rolled out and replaced. A one

I spoke to a large Toyota dealer near me today (Nucar Toyota in Norwood, MA). They were firm on $5k ADM on the Land Cruiser (LC trim with premium package, due mid July). I walked instead.

Adding my details/updates to the thread in case it's helpful to the Hive Mind (aka "what else are we going to talk about while we wait?") -- 1958 Ice Cap supposed to be delivered end of May (those dates had been earlier in May) to dealership in Sacramento (Folsom Lake Toyota). No roof rack, no sliders (obviously no moonroof). Screenshot below is from my salesperson today:
Checked on mine today….on hold

So it seems the Earth OT+ are harder to get in the Gulf Coast region...went to test drive a Luxury. I liked it...very well composed even on some really rough roads. Punchy/torquey engine.
Looking forward to getting the call for mine

FWIW my local Lexus said QC hold hoping to only be a couple weeks, mine was at port and went through receiving but never got put on rail. This photo was taken on the 17th

Mines at port as well. Really hoping the hold gets lifted this week or next and then it will only be a couple of days.
Yep. With more and more delays maybe I should just wait. My current 4Runner is looking better every day! We’ll see when the phone call eventually comes!Oh dear.... Got a call from my dealership. Trail dust, and no mark ups..

Where oh where pray tell? I've been going through a great internal debate between a GX550 Overtrail+ and the Tacoma Trailhunter. There's a dealer local to me in Socal that 'claims' to be a msrp dealer on the GX550, but no proof of that yet! Dealer I've been working with on the Trailhunter has one in build phase in the new Bronze Oxide color (my second choice behind Ice Cap (white) ). They want $8,880 OVER msrp for it as it's their 'first one' to quote the fleet manager. They have a TRD Pro coming in with the same i-Force Max engine I'm really wanting and 'only asking' $2,980 over msrp for it. I might have actually been tempted if they had that mark up on the Trailhunter. At this point, I'll wait out the craze and get my Trailhunter at msrp somewhere, even if out of state from Commifornia.Oh dear.... Got a call from my dealership. Trail dust, and no mark ups.
