There are pros / cons between cloth and softex but I certainly disagree with the view that softex is an upgrade. It’s basically vinyl. Again, that might be advantageous for a given buyer but the cloth shouldn’t be viewed comparatively as budget spec. On that note, when I bought a ‘12 Tundra w...

The only regret I have in buying the 1958 is the lack of roof rails. I’d like the ability to carry skis, a SUP and a Xmas tree, but I don’t want a shopping basket on the top and the availability of non-accessory parts for the new LC is still in its infancy. As to the Softex, it’s hard for me to...

I haven’t heard my horn in the 1958. Can’t recall how the horn sounded in the 100 series that I drove for the previous 22 years. In Alabama, women might horn someone. Men tend to know that such activity is asking for escalation.

Ditto.

I have the 1958 and thus a different display but you should have a boost gauge somewhere, which shows you the pressure that is created as the turbocharger compresses and forces more air (and also fuel) into the cylinders. You can save fuel consumption by using partial throttle / low rpm when...

There was an 18” 18-hole steel wheel for the Tundra. My 2012 had this wheel as the spare, with the more-common 5-spoke steel wheel for the four wheels.

$98k for your 1999? Is that an attempt at an inflation-adjusted price? Are you basing that on the jacked-up prices for 200’s after their production ended?

I briefly had a ‘22 Cayenne. Intended to keep it and sell my ‘02 LC that I had owned since new. The Cayenne was extremely nice and that was part of the issue for me; I ultimately didn’t want something that nice as my daily, utility vehicle. Also, the Cayenne is a large vehicle and that detracted...

The old LC. It was as stripped as one could find in a 100 series, which is what I wanted. When younger, I had toyed w buying a new 80 series without leather, sunroof, 3rd row seats, etc. (But the $30k price was too much at that time for me.) This new ‘24 is scratching that itch that I couldn’t...

New one at the distributor before delivery. Minimal options (all weather mats, illuminated sills, cargo net) and I’ve not modified since (save removing air dam and huge hitch cover)

They are 1/2” narrower (18x7 vs 18x7.5). That difference doesn’t seem to slow down anyone mounting 265/70 18’s onto the stock 1958 wheels.

A wise man picks his battles!

I'd say it's designed - as is the boost from the electric motor - to produce the low-range torque needed for climbing hills, maintaining traction, etc. Without the electric motor, the 2.4 produces ~320lb ft of torque which is similar to that produced by the outgoing 4.6L V8 in the prior GX...

Wash the vehicle and occasionally wax it. It's a truck. If you start going down the full PPF & ceramic trail, you'll find yourself being obsessed with not damaging the ceramic coating or underlying film. Then you'll be researching foam cannons, two-bucket wash methods and cranking up the leaf...

Perfect. Thank you!

What is the other piece of plastic circled in blue and how to remove it? I stole this picture from the skid plate thread and I don't have an FE, but I noticed the extra plastic piece when removing my air dam from my 1958. Based on pictures posted by other members, it appears that most remove...

Specifically for my 1958, each dam involved 3 screws (removable either with 10mm socket or Phillips head) and 2 clips. Using a flat-head screwdriver, one can gently remove the clips and reuse them.

Couple of weeks ago, I sold my '02 white LC to a friend and later that afternoon took delivery of a new white 1958. I had bought the 100 series new in '02 and put about 315k on it over the 22 years. Loved that old vehicle but I'm enjoying the new one.

I think many of us are still not used to the more recent trend of using turbochargers to maintain torque output when replacing a larger-displacement engine with a smaller engine in search of improved fuel economy. That better efficiency is achieved on paper but hard to replicate in real life -...
