According to internal dealer communications and reports, Toyota has imposed a 60-day hold on U.S. deliveries, effectively pushing most arrival dates into late March or April 2026. This seems to apply only to the models built in Canada since the models built in Japan are still appearing to be in transit on regular schedule.
