My pleasure. Just make sure they know that they need to jump right on it (as soon as they get the allocation).

I too would love to be able to order a new Toyota but look at it from Toyota's perspective. They can do a ton of research and decide well ahead of time exactly what they are going to build for the year—and then order/pre-order the parts for those builds from their suppliers. They just build what...

If your Toyota dealer is good (and wants to help), they can work with their Toyota rep to trade their allocation for another allocation. This needs to be done straightaway (as soon as they get their Toyota model allocations...dealers get allocations twice a month). That way shipping/logistics...

EXACTLY!!!

A BMW X7 is a crossover SUV...it's going to get better mileage than a body-on-frame SUV with an upright windshield. The Land Cruiser is built to do a lot more than a BMW X7. And a BMW X7 starts at $85K. If you want to compare fuel economy numbers, look at the Wrangler, outgoing/new 4Runner...

Interesting. I had heard that the Caribbean market (TTA, Inc. supplied) was getting LC250 badged as a 'Land Cruiser' (like the USA, UK, and mainland Europe) but that's usually reserved for countries that do NOT get the LC300 (I didn't realize Jamaica gets the LC300). Interesting that you get the...

Is it a 'Land Cruiser' or 'Land Cruiser Prado' (does it have the 'Prado' badge on the back)?

Very nice. Can you post more photos of the vehicle (including the interior)? Curious on the spec (as you're in Jamaica). I assume it's the 1GD diesel, 8-sped auto, and it's a 'TXL' model (due to that grill design and the halogen headlights). Also, please post a photo of the back...is it a 'Land...

100% correct. Smart.

I have an Ice Cap GR Corolla. After 13 months, no chips or paint quality issues.

The sunroof is a standalone option or included with the Premium Package (in the USA)...on the LC grade.

I’m not a fan of taking care of black (or the heat issue) but it usually looks good. But I don’t think the new LC looks good in black (especially with the FE black wheels). And Wind Chill Pearl is a color I could never get…it’s a Lexus/Cadillac/Lincoln/Hyundai Palisade color (too...

I told my dealer that I’d be fine with either Black or Java interior (but Meteor Shower is the exterior color I’d like). They found an LC grade in Meteor Shower with Black interior (leather…Premium Package). The more I see Java, the more I’m happy I’m not getting Java.

Yes, I too prefer the rectangular headlights.

I too don't love the setup but it's certainly not a deal killer. And I'm sure they' be a hitch pin solution...if the stock setup is a pain.

My pleasure. But you're not really giving up any off-road ability with the LC grade vs. FE. Yes, the rock rails are better than running boards in the rough stuff but that's an easy fix (via Toyota PIO, Toyota accessory, or future aftermarket). Everything else on the FE is just cosmetic. I much...

I can't recall who posted them or where but here are some (not great) photos of an LC grade Land Cruiser. I'd love to see more/better real-world photos of the LC grade. PS: I see this one has the PIO (accessory) roof cross bars. PSS: I'm not a big fan of the 'Underground' exterior color but it...

Here's a good article: Digital Rearview Mirrors Are Garbage And I Can Explain Why With Science - The Autopian

I tow often—I’m used to relying on my side mirrors. If a digital rear view mirror worked better, I’d see the appeal.

I have not checked the specifications "grid" on the Toyota USA website lately but there was a ton of incorrect info on there originally (when pricing was first released). Here is exactly the info I received from my (good)contact at Toyota...confirmed to be correct: --‘Land Cruiser 1958’: 6-way...

I am talking about the passenger seat—power passenger seat. The Premium Package on the LC grade adds a power passenger seat. The LC grade comes standard with Softex seats (power driver's seat and manual passenger seat). The Premium Package adds leather and a power passenger seat (and memory for...

Given that, I can see why you'd want a camera rear view mirror on paper. I just don't think they are that great. Just decide if Softex and saving some money (not getting the Premium Package) are more important than having the camera rear view mirror. I'm fine that the Premium Package comes with...

Copy. Overall (especially with the early vehicles arriving), I think dealers don't want to mess with changing any of the POIs (as they'll quickly sell what vehicles arrive...and make more money with more POIs). Personally, I don't want any POIs (I'll get anything I want via the dealer parts...

I think that's a good plan—skip the Premium Package. Personally, I'm not fan of digital rear view mirrors. I'm sure you get used to them but I've driven many vehicles with the feature and I always end up turning them off due to the digital rear view mirror not being as good as far as depth...

I understand that. I'm just giving info because people have mentioned that many/most of the LC grade vehicles being built have the optional 20" wheels.
