I’ve owned 2 turbocharged cars to this point in life, both of them ran better and achieved better fuel economy on 91 Octane. What will remain to be seen is whether or not the ECU on the T24A-FTS will recognize higher octane fuel and take advantage of it by advancing timing or making a bit...

I have no idea to be honest. It’s quite possible the power ratings and fuel economy ratings are based on 87 Octane for both engines. The EPA fuel economy cycle is pretty lame and not reflective of highway speeds in many states now so it’s no surprise in actual use with 87, 89, 91, or 93 Octane...

ASTM D4814 specifications for AKI is 87 Octane. Suggest sticking to 91 Octane or higher. Everyone here is citing examples of naturally aspirated engines being run with standard grade fuel. This is a turbocharged engine that already has a healthy static compression ratio before we throw positive...

The First Edition is just a strait up money grab by Toyota and of course Toyota dealers that will mark them up absurdly.

This thread reminds me that about a month ago I had a vehicle train that originated in Tacoma, WA full of Toyota vehicles. Every single autorack was full of Toyota Prius’s (Priii?), Land Cruisers, and GX550s. Good thing it didn’t derail, you guys don’t want to know what happens to all those...

Well give it time. Someone will post something that I can’t resist insulting and I’ll offend someone. It’s inevitable.

I despise 20” and larger wheels on any body on frame truck or SUV. All they’re good for is ruining ride quality, reducing capabilities that matter, and increasing rotational unsprung mass… further ruining ride and handling. They’re for morons who buy these things as status symbols to cruise the...

No, I don’t need AI to disparage myself and annoy others. I’m perfectly capable of positively ID’ing myself as a moron to others without assistance.

The GX has a 21 gallon fuel tank FYI. Toyota/Lexus are very conservative with the fuel gauge reading though, so don’t be surprised if both the LC250 and GX550 show “empty” when there’s still 2-4 gallons of fuel still remaining. They do this to keep owners out of trouble, and more importantly...

I took one look at the First Edition pricing and what it included then did a build and price on the LC trim and it will be an easy choice to skip the First Edition. Plus I don't like the round single projector headlights anyway, the rectangular LC trim lights with the triple projectors will...

Greetings from the Black Hills of South Dakota, where a semi-literate knuckle dragging misanthrope has managed to fool the verification tool on this forum into believing that I am in fact a human with a functional frontal cortex. As all of you will find out in the coming days and weeks it's a...
