Christmas in July?

I was at my local Toyota dealer this morning having some work done on the 2007, their lot was almost empty of anything that used body on frame construction. They do not expect inventory levels to return to normal until sometime in June, and even 1/3 of that future allotment is already SOLD.

Reasons given: The Covid-19, the chip shortage, and the temporary blockage of the Suez canal.

If nothing else weird and unusual happens between now and then, Toyota buyers should be able to get the new truck they want this summer... Christmas in July.
