Sounds a bit more positive. Has your dealer said anything about a likely delivery date? I have had radio silence for months…….

For the UK, pretty much everyone wanting All terrain tyres either has the Grabber AT’s or the BFG’s. I have had the Grabbers a few times in the past and they are good but from seeing the BFG’s perform in mud on other cars, I really think they are better and certainly last longer. The BFG KO2’s...

Yes, my previous car had the GrandTrek AT23’s not AT20’s as said earlier. Appears that in the UK we may struggle to get the BFG KO3’s anytime soon in 265/60R20 so it’s probably going to be the KO2’s which are still great tyres. This all assumes that these new LC’s ever arrive on UK shores………….

My last couple of LC’s came with Dunlop GrandTrek AT20’s which may well be what the new cars will have. @DrD, the tyre is good but I had a few ‘moments’ so I don’t think you’ll get what you want out of the stock tyres on wet boggy pastures. The outgoing Invincibles came with 19” rims which was...

My Sept 2022 LC had the same engine that the new one comes with and that had something like 36mpg as its official combined economy figure but actually did 27/28mpg, slightly more on long journeys. It’s a shame that they haven’t come up with a new one for the new car as the Land Rover equivalent...

I’m getting the Invincible and as far as my research has told me, it’s the lights, wheels and paint that’s different. The FE definitely comes with an exclusivity which will mean something on residuals and so could be cheaper in the long term. The FE cars in the US come with 18” alloys giving...

Same lack of info here….. I asked Toyota UK as surely they know more about imports than the dealer but they came back with a ‘Don’t worry, we are on the case and asking your dealer for an update.’ Hopeless. Tyres - I’m also giving this too much thought given we don’t even know if the car will...

My App went into meltdown and lost the timeline when they told me they couldn’t fulfil the order. A week later it was back on but nothing on the App. The FAQ’s in the WelcomeHub shows an estimated delivery date of 26th September but the dealer wasn’t aware of this. It’s all massively...

I have asked for email confirmation that my order is back on but radio silence since the verbal news on Tuesday last week. Nothing against the salesman at dealer but I don’t think they have a clue what’s going on so they don’t know what to say……….

Ouch…… At least the HiLux won’t let him down.

I would be concerned about residual values and what happens at some point in the future when Jim R gets bored of his plaything………

OK, panic over. After 5 low days, I received a call from the Dealer this afternoon to say they had sourced one and that we were back on track for the September delivery. Who knows when it will actually arrive but at least I’m in the first UK allocation.

I’m seriously considering a new generation Defender but after owning 4 previous Land Cruisers that feels like it would be a life of visiting the garage for repairs. Hopefully they’ll sort it out and give me a new order.

My order was placed in the first week of June and was given the bad news last week. The frustrating thing is that the dealer can’t tell me anything so I don’t know if I wait it out or buy another car. Unfortunately I sold my current Land Cruiser in prep for the promised September delivery.

How are all the other UK orders looking??? Having paid a deposit in August last year and then a substantial further deposit early June, I am less than impressed to hear that they can’t deliver the one that Toyota UK sent me an email to confirm was on its way to being built…… They could offer a...

Mine also. Dave do you have an Order ID number on your My Toyota App? As for the spec, these cars are always generously kitted out as standard and I’m sure the new model won’t disappoint - my previous cars were with ‘Sunroof’ so I would guess ‘Pano Sunroof’ will be bigger but either one is fine...

3 of my previous 4 LC’s have been new and I have always had to select the towbar as an extra, from different dealers too. The last one was 2022 Invincible and they could only fit it months after the delivery as the wiring looms were made in Ukraine up to then at least. I’m sure you could get it...

I photo’d the Spec Sheet for the Invincible which is as attached and shows the “Panoramic Roof”

Yes, I’ve ordered a tow bar. They didn’t know the exact cost (another example of Toyota UK not being ready for this car’s arrival) so started quoting big numbers but in fairness agreed to do it for the HiLux price of £800 which I accepted.

Identical on mine. It says “Order in Process” …… “You will be notified when we start building your car”

I’ve had 3 LC’s from this dealer and put my £500 down in Aug last year so I don’t see them messing me around but your news worries me, especially as I have just sold my Sept 2022 LC in prep for this one……… Yes, very dull chat for our US friends!!

Decuma grey but wanted the meteor shower silver. Having had 4 previous LC’s I know that their paint is thin and they scratch easily so thought silver would hide that best…….

Dave - I hope your dealer confirms the order and you get your blue choice. One of my previous LC’s was decuma grey and that was metallic but I’ve seen the Toyota UK paint choice page for the Invincible at it’s def non-metallic

Yes, I paid £500 in Aug 23 and last week paid another £5k

I’m a little concerned at the price jump from the old model and what this will mean for residual values but I’m telling myself it’s not dissimilar to other brands and the short supply should help assuming it’s as good as all the reports suggest

Dave - I agree that this is a shambolic purchase process. I put a £500 deposit down in early August 2023 and had radio silence until last week when they took substantially more to proceed with the build. I have an order number and that’s about it. The UK website showed a car in Meteor Shower...

Hello from another UK (East Anglia region) new member! 2024 Invincible due to arrive in September but we’ll see if that date holds……..
