Just got mine yesterday so havenāt tested it a ton, but I did feel like the ac was really good in the car so much so that I had to turn the temp up even at the lowest setting bc it got cold.
I have a 16 month daughter so soon enough my wife or I will ride in the back with her and Iāll let you...
I donāt know the answer for sureā¦ but I had reserved an FE that arrived at port a few days before the QC hold. It got held up as they all did. Then earlier in the week the status changed and there was a delivery date ranging end of this month. Today that car got an updated range to delivery in...
Yeah I was about to go over trail+ for some of the niceties - massage seats, mark levinson, etc. but noticed it didnāt have rear seat ac controls or ceiling vents. Having kids thatāll be in the back the 3 zone climate controls was more important than front massage seats. Plus I like the Land...
When picking up my Lc yesterday I checked out two Tacomas they had in the showroom. Itād be tight for even a child to sit in the back seats. If you need to fit more than 2 people in there on any type of regular basis I wouldnāt get the new model IMO.
Hey folks I ended up getting an FE (love it and will post some reactions later) but that means I also backed off my reservation for a meteor shower LC trim with premium package.
Would love to keep the sale with my sales guy, so if youāre interested dm me and Iāll get you both connected...
I know we donāt have a real confirmation from Toyota but itās pretty clear to me itās a sunroof issue as the 1958s are being sold and same with the Lexus gx550 luxury+ where the moonroof doesnāt open.
If it was an engine issue they would all be held bc all the LC and all the GX use the same...
Thanksā¦ my q5 gets me 16.5-17 mpg on average. So for me getting close to 20 while getting a bigger car is a win.
If I could average around 21-22 Iād say itās a huge success, 19-20 Iād take as win, 17-18 we call it a push.
Okay Iāll admit this is my first real car purchase that Iām super excited about and have finally picked up some handy skills - nothing crazy but getting confident enough to try doing things myself knowing I wonāt fully mess it up.
That said - Iād love to take control of maintenance for this...
Do we know for sure if the headlights are interchangeable down the road? Seems like they would be.
I keep going back and forth between which ones I like better and right now Iām on team round but have rectangular reserved. Outside of the headlights (and fe embossing on doors) I donāt need any...
Appreciate that insight and agreed it might not look great if the texture is different.
We will see if the plastics bother me long term or if itās just something I focus on in pictures now when I thatās all I have to look at vs actually driving and enjoying the car!
Thanks yes this makes sense. I live 3 miles from ocean and only plan to do the window trick when Iām cruising solo to surf and donāt want to fuss around with strapping the boards on top or moving seats around.
Longer rides Iāll strap to roof rails or keep in the car (with seats down)ā¦.
Thanks!
Take it with a grain of salt, but heard some promising news today when calling around Southern California dealers inquiring about inventory.
Got lucky and was connected with a 20yr+ GM who said he was in a meeting today where they were informed about the QC hold. According to him it did indeed...
Donāt think you can partially open glass and put a surfboard out the back if you drive slow? I see folks with shells for trucks doing that a lot around San Diego, was hoping I could do the same with the pop out glass of the LC.
Have a Land Cruiser coming in whenever the qc hold lifts. Sounds like mine is the rare lc trim w/ premium package that doesnāt have the 20ā wheels too.
If anyone has 20ā on theirs and wants to swap to the 18ā let me know.
Located in San Diego and can travel within Southern California area...
Would it be easy to paint some of the plastic lining (wheel fender, parts of front and rear bumper) to body color? I donāt love the chunky plastic look at the edges of the front and rear bumper and would love to paint them body color (meteor shower)ā¦ whatāre your thoughts?
I just reserved an allocation - had zero say in any of it except that the dealer I was working with got allocated a meteor shower LC trim with premium package & black interior. I wanted all of that except preferred Java to black; but hey beggars canāt be choosers
Would love a Java interior but they are hard to come by here in socal and I think Iāve found of the only msrp dealers around & they donāt have an LC trim with Java interior.
I think the additional fe badging is pretty cool, i was originally set on one but decided 3 things:
I donāt need rock rails (have young kids) so would swap those out for running boards
donāt need roof rack, would prefer roof rails
I like the rectangle lights look better
So at the end of the...
Iāve been poking around on gxās since Iām being impatient and the dealers keep hitting me up dropping their markups. One that had a $15k markup on top of the $8k dealer installed accessories, is down to msrp + dealer installed accessories. I told them I donāt need or want any of the accessories...
Would also love some updates on mpg! Is it going up like so many who cautioned that āengine needs to be broken inā said? Iāve never owned a new car so have no personal knowledge there
