There will not be tariffs on Japan.

And how do you know this?

What tariffs does Japan have on the US?

Apparently that doesn't matter, the steel and aluminum tariffs are also effecting Japanese companies that export to the US, why would cars be exempt?

With the uncertainty of the newest 25% automobile and parts tariffs that are threatened on April 2, does anyone think that this will affect the orders that we have placed and put our deposit on? I assume that 4Runners that are already in port would not be affected. Not a political post. Just wondering how everyone thinks this will play out. Thanks for moving this mods. I didn’t see this thread earlier.

4Runners that are currently at port would need to clear port processing (custom clearance) before 4/2 to avoid the 25% tariff.

Because Japan always negotiates.

This is FALSE.

I watched an economist on video that came out today in the Wall Street Journal where they said that it is much more complicated than just signing an E.O. She points out that it can take close to 6 months to get everything done in the background before the action happens.

True or false, I got that info from searching. Thank you for the link and video…I watched it. I guess we will see what’s going to happen come the 2nd. I’m hoping it’ll be the latter as my pro is stuck at port.

My Pro was just built. On a side note, the dealership and I spoke at length about this. I have an out if need be, but they said that Toyota has not pushed any information down the pipe to dealers regarding Tariff issues.

If POTUS is saying reciprocal tariffs, and keeps it to that, Japan has NO tariff for US Autos. But, you're indeed correct...we have to hope for the best outcome.

ALSO: When did your Pro arrive at the port?
