My TCH is scheduled to arrive at the dealer on 11/2. The VIN ends with 43K307. This is consistent with your theory regarding the month of manufacture (e.g., "K" = October).
But.. according to the Southeast Toyota (SET) website, my dealer will be receiving another RedMN TCH on 12/2 and the VIN will end with 47F864.

"Please include: VIN, your userid, Build date if you know it (read on for how to determine), Delivery date, Color, Model,
any known problems, and your location."
Jon, I'm a little late to the party, having thought I had already posted my info, but I didn't see it in the spreadsheet, and I can't find my post....(guess I'm getting old!...next I'll think I actually own an amazing TCH ..wait....there is one in my garage! YAY!)
here goes...for the database:
014431
jbollt
build date:06/06
deliv date:7/21/06
desert sand mica
Loaded: Leather, moonroof, Nav, body side mldgs
Only issue up to this point (~5100 miles): console crickets - fixed in just moments thanks to the great step by step post with pics!
Tucson AZ (hence the desert sand color!)
Additional unasked for info: Port of Long Beach , CA

Re: What Production # are you?
Here is my story:-
TCH ordered September 22 in Toronto
dealer advised one week later he has confirmation TCH scheduled to be built in Kentucky October 18. At this time the vehicle will be given a VIN number and he will be able to track delivery accurately.
Contacted the dealer again one week after the scheduled October 18 date and have now been advised:-
Your vehicle is listed as “configuration/destination finalized” which means that it is in the 1st stage of production.
Sounds to me as though they have a production problem but I'm just guessing.

Mine was built 08/06 and delivered 9/28/06. Production #22283.

On 10/23, Leith supposedly did a swap with another dealer to get a loaded RedMn TCH (43K307) with the options I ordered on 9/4. On 10/26 Leith called me and told me that the dealer swap had fallen through because the other dealer realized he had already sold the car to someone else. Needless to say, I was disappointed.
Later on 10/26 Leith called me back and advised that they were able to locate another TCH (29818), with the color / options I want, and it should arrive approximately 11/14.
Net, instead of taking delivery 43K307 w/e 11/10, I should be taking delivery of 29818 w/e 11/17. I am more than willing to wait an extra week for the JPN TCH, vs. the KY TCH.
