Re: allocations??, preferencing??, sick of waiting
Belo:
First of all, welcome to the Forum.
Second, please fill out your profile - it helps enormously when answering these sorts of questions if we know where you are geographically.
Third, your dealer is probably telling you the truth. There are two ways to get one: order it to your specs, or they pick up something from the distributor, and match it to their customer prefs. Unhappily for you (and me too!) you're requesting the rarest of the configurations.
MTs are rumored to be only 10-15% of the 46,000 trucks. And Black Cherry is the least popular color, and were estimated at 10% of production. So to get a MT6 spd in Black Cherry - the intersection is...scarce.
That said, Granger posted that they had one in this configuration in the MD/PA area, and there was another posted in Washington state. As of Thursday, they were unsold.
I live in CA, and was told that my ORDERED FJ showed up in the computer on March 17th, and I was 6 weeks out from delivery. So your dealer was probably being straight.
Your only other option is to work this site, and the phone. Call every Toyo dealer you can find to track one down sooner than 12 weeks.
Hope this helped, and good luck. Post the results!
