    Quality Control Delays!!

    I just entered my FE VIN on the Toyota site under my account. Says there are no recalls. And, still shows it as “May be in transit” with arrival late May mid June. HOWEVER, my dealer told me today that it has been put on the QC delay. What gives Toyota?????????

    Roof dents found

    Sorry that happened. NO excuse for that. If we find a lot of this sort of thing (I have a FE ordered that is now on QC hold at Portland after sitting there for 6 weeks) it is going to remind me of my Tesla Model Y when I got it in 2022. Tons of things wrong with it in terms of fit and finish...

    Quality Control Delays!!

    I have a FE that was just put on hold. Been at the port in Portland since early April.

    Quality Control Delays!!

    If they have a shortage of mechanics to install skid plates and dashcams, I bet a bunch of us have socket sets and tape measures. Let’s head to Portland and get this thing movin!!!!

    Accurate ETA’s?

    I have some new Blizzak Michelin 20” snow tires if someone in MN/WI/Iowa wants a great deal on them. $1100.00 new. $500 to the first buyer!!

    Accurate ETA’s?

    Have you seen my post of the White LC in the Midwest that you can lock down at MSRP? I am buying a Meteor Shower FE from the same dealer and I told them I would post it. I get no financial gain from this.

    Accurate ETA’s?

    It’s not too late to start walking. Mine was supposed to come early May. Now, late June. I expect to see it by August, at the latest. All we can do is hope.

    2024+ Land Cruiser Meteor Shower Photo Thread

    I know of a Wind Chill Pearl coming in the Midwest at MSRP in LC Trim if you want it. Likely arriving in late June.

    Surprised they trailered that LC without plastic on the hood.

    Round or Rectangular?

    Round. As a former LC owner, and an old guy, I like the nostalgic impression they make.

    Post Your Land Cruiser Delivery Day Photos!

    That’s what threw me. I thought it would’ve taken a fair bit more gasoline to fill it up when there was only 5 miles of range left. Thanks.

    Pardon my ignorance. What does “15.3 gallons at 5 miles remaining of range” mean? Thanks!

    Mine arrived in Portland on April 5. Still there, though it says, “may be in transit.”

    Accurate ETA’s?

    Mine has been at Portland since April 6th (Seven Seas Highway). At least that is how I read the vessel search web site. Our regional Toyota rep says they are having trouble getting enough help to do all of the PIO stuff. Oh well.

    First Edition Roof Rack / RTT - Will it fit?

    Does anyone know if the FE Roof Rack has crossbars that can be slid for and aft? I am wondering if my Thule roof box will be able to clamp on to the crossbars on my soon to arrive LC FE? Thanks!!

    What did they mean by, “re-list?” Thanks.

    Accurate ETA’s?

    It really does appear that Toyota is experiencing supply issues when these vehicles reach the USA. It’s not a smooth assembly line where skid plates, dash cams, roof racks, and more are quickly and expertly added to the build. Oh well, the main parts of the LC are made in Japan. That’s good...

    Accurate ETA’s?

    I just noticed a vehicle I’ve been watching for about three weeks was moved from “vehicle may be in transit to “vehicle is in the build stage contact Dealer for availability date”. So, is vehicle is actually going backwards in terms of where it is in production and how soon it could be ready...

    Realistic Waiting Time

    Every owner of a car dealership that I have ever known, has owned their own airplane. From single engine to Gulfstream jets, these guys make a lot of dough. Elon Musk tried to change that system with his online ordering model. But, clearly, Tesla (Musk) still makes a ton of money. It just...

    I had a 1999 Land Cruiser for 15 years and the moon roof always worked perfectly and Never leaked. Don’t fear the moonroof. Don’t buy the Land Rover!!!

    Land Cruiser Oil Change Skid Plate Removal?!!

    That oil change kit is impressive. Lots of great reviews. I wonder if it will fit on the new Land Cruiser?

    What did the “oil plug to valve” conversion look like? Thank you.

    Land Cruiser Oil Change Skid Plate Removal?!!

    If a mechanic doesn’t know how to install a bolt without “buggering up the threads” as my grandfather used to say, I’d find another dealership. Or, pull the skid plate before bringing it in.
