I have a new 2024 Land Cruiser grade (w/ premium package and stock 18-inch wheels) arriving at the Toyota dealership next week. It comes with factory cross bars ($560 factory/port accessory). I'm told the cross bars will likely be already installed when the vehicle arrives (vs. inside the vehicle) as they are installed at port. I'd like to remove the cross bars before driving the vehicle home (it's long drive home, etc.).
--Is that indeed the case (the cross bars will be installed when the vehicle lands at the dealership)?
--If so, how easy are the cross bars to remove (what's the process, are tools needed, etc.)?
I'd like to either remove them myself (upon arrival at the dealership/before driving home) or ask the dealership to handle (but they'll likely charge me an hour of labor and I prefer handling things myself—I'm very particular).
