Hey Thx_1158, welcome!! Plenty of info here, and more to come as the number of owners multiply. This forum sure has helped me decide on a Land Cruiser vs the competition.

My error possibly, but was not aware it was an estimate, but thought it was an actual calculation based on the two parameters mentioned.

It certainly could be a combination of errors by the trip computer, i.e. accurately measuring the fuel used, and the accuracy of the odometer.

I don't understand. It would seem a simple calculation by the computer, i.e. miles driven/gallons used. I can visualize better economy after the engine becomes broken in, and one might improve on their driving habits.

Welcome to the forum chirorzr. Wish it were our LC, which seems to be somewhere, maybe, in the queue.

On premium fuel?

This is interesting, as I was under the impression, short of the DC motor and associated clutches forward of the transmission, they were the same 8-speed internally...

Welcome Budsterw! Becoming a bit long in the tooth (82) to attempt what I did in my younger days with a 4x4, but still might put ours through some of its paces.

I would carefully use a slender screwdriver inserted alongside the belt where it exits from the tensioner, and see if the belt could be turned on the belt take-up drum just a tad farther to trip the ratchet pawl.

Welcome to the forum! Our last Land Cruiser was an FJ62, and have missed it ever since. Looking forward to our new LC in the queue.

Do they still use the wires which critters like to nibble on? One would think the industry has learned their lesson...

Welcome to the forum mrcodeblue, and congratulations! For sure, 18's!

Sadly (in my opinion) the 2025 4Runner is, from the back seat forward, a Tacoma. Not unique anymore. Back to the birth of the 4Runner in this respect.

Better than nothing, but would like to see an air/cooler in front of the radiator/condenser.

My understanding is yes, it does. However, have read where possibly the Tacoma has deleted the external transmission cooler. Hope that is not the case on the LC. Possibly an owner can verify re the LC?

Do you use the same oil as the dealer? Possibly old school, but still a bit leery about switching brands/formulations of oil.

Is not the coil (stator) stationary, and the permanent magnets (rotor) moving? I don't believe the motor/generator uses a commutator.

Not sure if it has the ability to turn the electric motor backwards, as it couples to the direct output of the engine, but the electronics can switch modes between battery power to assist, and conversely turning the motor into a generator to charge the battery.

My concern, is what can be done to recalibrate the odometer/speedometer? I find it difficult to believe auto makers cannot come up with a system to calibrate utilizing the GPS built into all modern vehicles.

Welcome aboard!

Absolutely, there is room JustOutside! Here is the U.S. many of us would kill for a turbo-diesel. Please, share your adventures!

Hey, you ran off with our LC! Just kidding, and welcome to the forum. Seriously however, this is what we have on order, especially the Java interior. Do you like the Java?

Just painted steel? Stainless would have been the way to fly...

Be careful! A shop owner here was just fined and jailed for performance mods, albeit on diesels.

Well, belts do last a long time, but still a failure point. As long as it utilizes a tensioner, and not a stretch belt. On the positive side, a traditional water pump is most likely less expensive than electric.

This is disappointing. Would sure like to know the logic behind this decision.

My guess, for what it is worth, the engines are becoming "thin-skinned" compared to the past, i.e. not as much metal/mass to heat up to operating temperature. Nowadays, many have electric water pumps, so zero circulation when warming up the engine. However, and not sure about this until we...

Hmmm, I aways thought a PTC heater, a resistance heater, was primarily applicable to EV's, not IC or hybrid vehicles. However, it is my understanding with the LC, and other hybrid vehicles, one can leave the ignition on, and the engine will start/stop as necessary to warm the vehicle. This is...

Wow, scary! Thanks...

I would not be too concerned regarding the QC port holds. From all available information, it had to do with a sunroof drain. Have not seen the engine failure post, or are you referring the Tundra V-6 disaster?
