I believe the first in the USA and Canada will be First Editions but I'm not 100%
After checking out the photos @qberg posted yesterday (2024+ LC Production Updates (USA/Canada)), got me thinking...
Do you think the First Edition Land Cruisers are going to be the first to roll out here in the US, or can we expect simultaneous releases across all models?
More Toyota marketing/profit strategy if you ask me. The First Editions will be highly sought after, and command heavy dealer mark-up's. I love Toyotas, but their arrogance is beginning to irritate me. As we all know, one cannot any longer order a Toyota to their specs. You can "Build" one online, but not much chance it will be exactly as desired.
That strategy worked on me. As of right now, the ONLY way to get fully-loaded features with round headlights is by getting 1 of those 5000 First Editions. I don't know if 2025 or future model years it's still possible for such configurations so I succumbed and put the deposit on it the same day it's announced.
We once owned an FJ62, so the rectangular headlights are sort of a trip back to it. This said, would love a First Edition, but short of $10K extra, the owner of our small dealership has it earmarked for himself. Don't know what is going to be offered in the U.S., but in Canada, the "Land Cruiser" will be offered with a Premium Package, to me making it even more tempting than the First Edition.
the Canadian First Edition looks to be "de-contented" compared to what we already know of the US specs.
Could be mistaken, but from a video recently viewed, the U.S. may also be getting 3-Zone HVAC in the 1958 version. Really anxious to know the details!
This is a good point, I generally keep a bunch of stuff in there like my sunglasses.
You ever try cold
sunglasses?
Agree I don't want the 20s, but I want memory seats
For sure! 20" wheels on a vehicle intended for off-roading? Ridiculous! Worse yet, on the GX550 Luxury grades, 22" wheels.
