No FE skids
No fog light colour change
No Hitch. Even though it’s on my build spec under my vin no
No cargo net / barrier
So when is an LC250 FE not an LC250 FE
WHEN ITS IN THE UK !!
I’ve said all along we in the UK pay the most and get the least!!

Is there any way to set the speed alert off ( and other “driver aid settings”) as a default so it doesn’t reset it every time you restart the engine
I know how to turn it off but it’s a pain having to do it every time

Yep I think the engine - the 3 rd row (which I would happily have done without) and the pano roof ( which I like) are the UK extras

Thanks - more suitable when I had a track car - the LC is a lot more sedate transport nowFlyingtrotter
Don't have the vehicle but pretty sure this is now an EU/UK law now on all new cars. It has to be turned back on when the engine is cycled. One of the most stupid laws in a while.

So no scope to use the set button on the drivers seat then - think there is some way to do it in the US models but maybe the UK and EU ones have disabled that function

Hello Kev how is your tow electrics ?? can you tell me
Does the rear sensors auto disable when put into reverse with trailer attached ??
Have you an indication of some sort on the dash telling you theres a trailer attached ?
Do you hear a buzzer in the back when reversing the trailer ?
And anything else ??

Hi Dave, I just need to pick up my 13 to 7 pin converter so will check that later today for you.
Did you order a fixed or removable towbar in the end? I got a fixed version but they also gave me a separate removable towhook as well. I just wondered if that was normal and they are interchangeable?
This is it I asked for a fixed flange type and was told this is the only one which isn’t the case as there’s a fixed flange on the website

Just hooked up my trailer and electrics. All the trailer lights work straight away but the car detects nothing. I needed to turn off the button to the right of the steering wheel to stop it beeping at me when reversing. The rear detection doesn’t go out and shows up on the reversing camera. Clearly not ‘plug and play’. Without reading the manual, I can’t find anything in the settings to say that a trailer is available to be able to change anything else.This is it I asked for a fixed flange type and was told this is the only one which isn’t the case as there’s a fixed flange on the website

I was also given a detachable tow hitch but it wouldn’t connect to my current setup without a whole new car mounting bracket, so I don’t know why it was included!This is it I asked for a fixed flange type and was told this is the only one which isn’t the case as there’s a fixed flange on the website

It’s all a mystery
Be interesting to see if your car recognises the tow bar not just the lights working?
