    Glass Info is Etched into OUTSIDE of Windows!

    Update: I just got my rig back from the detailer after PPF/ceramic treatment and the exterior etching on the windows is far less noticeable. Our guess is that before I took it in (only 200 miles and mostly garaged) the etching was still bright and fresh as the day they did it. Then, when he did...

    Cargo Net

    I paid for one as a port installed option but when I got the rig home it was nowhere to be found. Sales guy said he "remembered seeing it." right. grrrrr. Someone must have got one that doesn't want it... will keep an eye on ebay.

    Glass Info is Etched into OUTSIDE of Windows!

    The rig is in for PPF and ceramic coating right now. When I get it back next week, I plan to take it to the auto glass shop to discuss. I was pissed until I noticed my wife's 2011 Lexus has the etching on the outside... so it is something that has been going on for years. But hers is a lot...

    Glass Info is Etched into OUTSIDE of Windows!

    I would take black over the bright white they are now! But good suggestion to talk to auto glass folks... have been through 3 windshields in 3 years so am on a first name basis with one. Thx

    Glass Info is Etched into OUTSIDE of Windows!

    Here is something REALLY bugging me... On most, but not all, of my windows, the usual glass info is etched into the exterior side of the window. It is extremely noticeable on the more heavily tinted windows, and in the sun, these etched labels positively POP! All four windows on the driver...

    Quality Control Delays!!

    My dealer told me non-refundable deposit is illegal in the Calif... that is one advantage to this state I guess

    Probably a dumb question... do you swap out the spare too?

    I have the 20's that are forced on most every premium package around here. I want move to 18" rims, either the stock FE rim or another rim I can find with a sizable offset (not a big poke fan). So will probably run 265 or 275 70/18's on a rim with at least +40 offset. The rig came equipped...

    The open height is adjustable in the setup menu. Be sure yours is set to maximum. I am 6' 2" and do not need to duck under mine.

    Anyone move from 4Runner to Land Cruiser?

    Try Hansel Toyota in Petaluma. They had no problem letting me try a 1958 a couple of weeks ago. Ended up finding what I wanted at Vallejo but Hansel was cool with that. Good dealership I have used before.

    Anyone move from 4Runner to Land Cruiser?

    Yess to KDSS. Have not detected a noticeable handling difference, but that may just be me. They both ride/drive more like a truck than an SUV to me. Other folks may have differing opinions. My wife's 2011 Lexus 450h is a smoooth and quiet ride. And was made before they added the Pedestrian...

    Anyone move from 4Runner to Land Cruiser?

    I have moved from '23 TRD ORP 4R to new LC Prem. Main loss is upfront storage space inside. Also, I dislike the way the back seats tumble rather than fold flat. Hybrid battery bump not appreciated either. Is taller so will be harder to load roof rack. Do not like pedestrian warning sound...

    Ringing noise that only stops when stopped 2024 LC

    This is certainly what I have been hearing on my rig... it cuts out at 22mph and kicks back in when you drop below that speed. Very annoying. Only on when running electric, not when gas engine kicks in, I think.

    What is the milage on the odometer on delivery?

    2.7 miles on mine. Then I put on 10 miles test driving it (No need for the service team to take it out ...I trust my eyes and ears better than theirs!) Rolling on at Tahara and off at Benicia would account for all of that. Plant at Tahara is right next to dock. Benicia is a large port. And...

    How long did it take from when you placed deposit?

    I would definitely shop around. Use the build function on the Toyota website and use it to look at inventory (set the range at 500 miles). Then start calling. Three weeks ago, I did my build on a Monday, third dealer I called had one unspoken for, drove 50 miles on Tuesday to put down...

    2024 Land Cruiser First Impressions

    Here are my first impressions. https://www.landcruiserforum.com/threads/my-buying-experience-first-impressions.830/ Now a couple of weeks in, to the negatives I would only add the noise from the Vehicle Proximity Notification System at low speeds. I find it quite annoying that it is audible...

    Is there fake engine noise in the 2024 Land Cruiser?

    just wanted to confirm that all our hybrid Land Cruisers have the Vehicle Proximity Notification System which kicks in anytime you are running below 22mph in electric-only mode. I can understand the purpose of this system but feel it is set too loud as it is easily discernible in the vehicle...

    What’s included at delivery.

    Lesson Learned: you definitely need to check carefully before you leave the dealership! Mine came with some port installed options, including "vertical cargo net" for $65. Did not check carefully and about a week later realized it was not there. It was the only one of those PIOs I might...

    Is there fake engine noise in the 2024 Land Cruiser?

    I don't know about putting engine noise into the cabin over the sound system, but I have this question: Can anyone confirm that at low speeds when solely on electric, this LC plays a whiny sound like the other annoying electric vehicles in a parking lot (for safety so you don't run silent and...

    250 interior storage add-on

    One of my observations in life is that "crap expands to fill the available space." Having said that, I am having trouble transitioning to my new LC, coming from 4Runner (and Tundra before that). Such a dearth of storage space! Looking forward to seeing this thread develop with some...

    Side mirror vibration anyone?

    I noticed the mirror vibration right away. To me it seems a design flaw not manufacturing defect. One of several small annoyances I've discovered in the first week. Why are the mirrors so tall? Wind force creates a lot of torque on the swivel joint.
