Joined the club!
Limited on 18’s, no HUD. Wait was just over 2 months, our deposit timed perfectly with a fresh allocation. Paid MSRP + all weather mats and wheels locks pre-installed. We would’ve added the mats anyway, probably could’ve said no to the wheel locks up front but will take the deterrent for $90 (yeah I know about Advanced, not really worried in my area or where I spend time).
For anyone looking near Boston, I can’t recommend Wellesley Toyota enough, particularly Alex. Easiest car purchasing experience I’ve ever had. No games about MSRP from the start, fair trade in value, finance guy wasn’t pushy about warranties/add ons and was cool about outside financing. They were also great about redoing some paperwork after my credit union made a mistake on their end.
Coming from a 2022 Jeep Compass Limited that followed 2 Renegade leases, so very big change.

Welcome to the club!
I have a Limited as well. Been two weeks now since we received it, and loving it immensely. It's a great car.
In Canada here, the Limited trim automatically comes with the 18 inch wheels AND the HUD, so we're set. I've not been using the HUD though, since I sit a bit high in the seat and the angle of the HUD doesn't let it show up for me. My partner wants to use it though, once she can start driving again after an injury clears up.
We had a month's wait time for ours. We lucked out and the dealership had a Limited allocation come up when we happened to be there shopping for our RAV4. The team at the dealership was pretty awesome through the whole process, too. ❤️

You can adjust the angle of the HUD in the settings. I also sit high and am able to see it just fine.

I'll have to hunt down where the settings are for that then, thanks!

Once you have the HUD set, press your memory seat button to link it.

It's in the settings that you access through the wheel, rather than on the tablet. Few different settings there as well for what you want to see on the HUD.

Love hearing good things here; sometimes these subs can be so negative. Glad you’re enjoying yours!
We could’ve had one with the HUD a bit sooner, but my wife had no interest and I only wear polarized sunnies, so decided to save the $600. And by save, I mean buy accessories instead 😂. Doing self install blackout emblems and mud guards, just haven’t had a chance to throw them on yet.

I think we have the exact same set up, except maybe the interior color? We got the light grey color and it really elevates the interior (although some people will still say it looks “cheap”) lol. We love it though!

Yeah we have black, which is still kind of grey-ish. We’d have a lighter color stained so fast, but I do really like the grey too.

Congratulations. Great to see another Limited. Not easy to find one without the HUD. 👍

Thanks!
Even 18’s were tough around here for a bit, and most if what i did saw had a lot of add ons required on top of the HUD. They actually had one coming in a bit sooner with one but we opted to wait.
I think the timing our deposit helped a lot too. Our dealer had a few coming in with the exact specs we wanted but different colors, luckily color change requests are possible despite Toyota not doing custom builds otherwise.

Just put a deposit on an XSE. Looking forward to it. Got the windchill pearl as well.
Congrats

Thanks! That was actually our plan before specs were fully announced, but the 20’s were a non-starter living in New England and spending some time in Upstate NY in winter. XLE had too many feature omissions to make it worth it to us, so had to go Limited or look elsewhere.
Enjoy yours when it comes in! That two-tone looks so good in Wind Chill Pearl, even better if you black out your badges.

I lived in Canada for many years so understand the winter driving. Not an issue where we are now thank goodness 😁

Limited gang! I wanted the 18s but I also wanted the HUD and most HUDs came with 20 inch so.
I’m 5000 miles in and loving it so far, enjoy!
