Toyota wait times in Australia swing like a gate in a southerly—fine one month, queued the next.
Hybrids and hot-ticket 4x4s (think RAV4 Hybrid and LandCruiser 70/300) typically face longer queues than plain petrol models and fleet favourites.
Your actual ETA depends on colour/trim choices, dealer allocation, state-by-state demand, and whether you’ve ordered every accessory under the sun.
If you’re flexible on spec or open to dealer demos and cancellations, you can often land a car sooner than the headline delay suggests.
Best move: get written timeframes from multiple dealers and confirm it’s an order with allocation, not just your name on a very long list.
