I picked up my vehicle yesterday after one of the weirdest buying experiences I've ever had. Nevertheless, it's in my garage. My other vehicle is the LX 600 F-Sport (not impacted by the engine recalls) which I just don't have the heart to take on the trails yet, so my driving impressions are...

I GOT THE CALL! Picking it up in a few hours.

Thank you for sharing. I just heard from my salesman. The window is the 24th through the 29th. I'll believe it when I see it, but at least I have an ETA now.

Does anyone have any insight as to what it means in Toyota world when there's no ETA date on a vehicle? There was one at one point, and there's a window sticker, but there's no window on this vehicle at all. There are other LC's on the dealer site with ETA's listed, just not the one I have...

I use CarPlay daily and wirelessly on my vehicles. It never drops, but it will occasionally take a moment or two to connect. When that happens I find turning off the vehicle and waiting 30 seconds clears whatever the issue was. There have been a few times where I have lost internet signal and...

I've had a deposit down for a while, but today it was taken down, but there was no availability update.

Like all of you here, I've been watching for arrival window updates on Toyota.com and my dealer's website. Today, my vehicle "disappeared" from inventory and from my saved vehicles. I have a deposit and did all the financing paperwork with this dealership. I'm hoping the dealer has pulled...

Congratulations! Did the status (the estimated availability date) change on either Toyota.com, or the dealer's website.

Hey there, would you mind sharing the name of your vendor in a message? I really regret not getting it done sooner.

More “my salesman stuff”. Land Cruiser Premium Package SoCal dealership, Long Beach Port

Did the fault stop, or change since it first appeared?

Thank you for sharing. This comports with the 56 day timeline (from the date of the hold). This issue was dealt with on a Car Care Nut video once. I believe he referred to sunroofs as controlled leaks.

My dealership told me the exact same thing.

I love the LC in Heritage Blue. They're all spoken for in my market. Go out and drive it hard and far.

I have a vehicle that I love, but I spend a little too much time waiting in long Costco gas station lines because I've never managed to get anywhere near EPA figures. It's a dream to own, built like a tank, and fun to drive on the highway. This LC would be a second vehicle that my wife and I...

Agreed, it's all personal preference. All of the FE are supposedly built in Tahara, the remainder are split between Hino and Tahara, but who knows. Someone on here noted that VIN numbers with R5 are built in Tahara. I've tested that theory and have found it to hold true.

It's funny you should ask this question. I had a FE booked and scheduled to arrive today. Yesterday, I had a long conversation with the sales manager at my dealership (loads of bad service, but i'm getting the thing at MRSRP) after which I decided to wait 3 more weeks to get the LC with the...

The tires on the Land Cruiser trim that these two guys are driving is the Toyo Open Country.

The GX 550 Overtrail comes stock with 18" wheels and Toyo Open Country AT 3. It's basically the same geometry. I believe a few of the vehicles during the journalist's driving event last month were riding on the Toyo tires. Finally, if you look closely at the original launch announcement you...

Port of Toyohashi (Japan) - Arrivals, Departures, Expected vessels - VesselFinder This is the website that has all the vessels expected, arriving and departing from Toyohashi. They limit the number of vessels you can see for any given category. I didn't see the vessels departing Toyohashi on...

Mine says Aichi, which I understand to be the Tahara plant.

My FE LC is just arrived at the port on Indiana Highway. My dealership is about an hour from the port. I'm getting this thing in black after a bit of a go around with my family about color choices. For the record, I'm not paying over MSRP, but the dealership is putting some ceramic protection...

I noted his take on the interior build quality. He's now been in all 3 vehicles, and he seems to be saying the LC Premium and the GX are a bit more refined if not luxurious than the 4runner. That makes sense from a marketing perspective. You have to find a way to segment your offering. Making...

So, my salesman called me today. He was fired from the dealership for taking a call from a competing dealership looking to hire him. He was fired on the spot. I had a poor purchasing experience with their Lexus sister dealership, but they're my local dealer and they weren't adding markups. The...

That looks like it was built by Ford. https://www.carscoops.com/2023/11/this-2023-ford-super-duty-looks-a-bit-dim-with-mismatched-factory-installed-headlights/

Dealers have the ability to "hide" their allocations from the sheet that has been circulating, their own websites and the Toyota.com site. The FE that I have a signed contract for has appeared and disappeared from both 3 times. I suspect they have been allocated, but not released yet.
