    Josh’s Cars of Japan - Land Cruiser Review

    Glad to hear of your favorable experience re the drivetrain, msenske. That was my biggest concern from his review. Besides, am personally looking forward to a more truck-like vehicle, as coming from a 4Runner to our Highlander, the soft ride, and resulting imprecise handling at highway speeds...

    Josh’s Cars of Japan - Land Cruiser Review

    Some very valid points to look for when we receive our 2025 LC/LC. However, did he get thrown out of the Toyota insider club? If not, it may be forthcoming.

    TRD Land Cruiser?

    Gear or chain xfer case? Give me a gear system in a steel case! You might be too young for the New Process 205, but TOUGH it was!

    TRD Land Cruiser?

    I had forgotten about the TRD Avalon! I wonder if it was a marketing success? Doubtful...

    TRD Land Cruiser?

    With the upcoming 2025 4Runner, I do not foresee a TRD Land Cruiser. Agreed re the obnoxious badging everywhere. Yuk! Keep the LC conservative for us mature folks. Just a serious "sleeper" off-roading machine.

    LC - Auto Hybrid Engine Shut Off - Not Engaging

    What is the outside temp? When the weather turns cold, the heater has a major say as to when the engine will shut down.

    Greetings, and welcome to the forum! As virtually all my off-roading has been in the desert SW of the U.S., hope to see some of your adventures.

    Possibly you can haggle for a sizeable discount? Good luck!

    Waiting for Ordered LC

    Welcome to the forum! Here may be your dilemma. The 2025's have been announced, to be arriving at dealers later this month. No changes of note it seems, except better tailgate area lighting. However, will yours be a 2024, or 2025?

    2025 LC

    Don't see it yet on the vehicles, but the press release is out. Essentially zero changes from what I can gather. A bit more lighting on the tailgate, and a new color combo. Would have loved to see some options/model focused on off-roading, better tires at a minimum. It appears Toyota is being...

    2025 Land Cruiser offering optional liftgate lighting 😑

    The only real disappointment is the lack of a few items to make it more offroad ready out of the gate, such as tires.

    2025 Land Cruiser offering optional liftgate lighting 😑

    Disappointing how few improvements for a new year. I think all governed to not take away from the new 4Runner, which has a much broader offering. If only we had a close Lexus dealer, a GX would be my choice.

    The 'other' Land Cruiser

    "mid-13's", wow, on premium, and at CA fuel prices. Oh, but such a sweet machine. Welcome to the LC forum. Are you also on the GX site?

    New Landcruiser owner - L.A.

    Welcome CDA, and you reside in my birth city. Well actually greater LA, i.e. South Gate, and in the 1940's was a great area. In any case, congrats on your new LC! Still awaiting ours, and now I see a post where the 2025's have been announced. Hmmm.

    Dripping water?

    Sounds like it might be excessive for the A/C, but possibly, and on both sides of the vehicle? You mentioned no rain, but possibly condensation? If your LC has one, I believe the sunroof has drains on both sides?

    What does the 5 beeps mean?

    Not on a, LC, but yes, on our Highlander the seat sensors are extremely sensitive.

    Hello from CT

    Welcome Rachel, and congratulations re the new LC! For sure, out west here we have somewhat free reign, but even that is shrinking, primarily due to the folks who abuse the privilege.

    This is how you conduct a proper break-in.

    And such harmless looking, easily traversable soil...UNTIL!

    Welcome! Very surprising it would need an alignment out of the gate, so to speak. Please, let us know what they find.

    Hello!

    Welcome treadmark! For sure, if you are seeking reliability among comparable vehicles, Toyota should be your choice. Have also considered the GX, as certain mechanical aspects of the GX are tempting. Did you notice the GX Overtrail does not employ triple-zone HVAC? Yep, no rear controls or...

    Breaking in new LC- Myth vs Fact

    Welcome. Your break-in routine sound good to me. Additionally, don't push it too had for the first 500 miles or so, and as you say, varied speeds, letting off the accelerator periodically to flex the piston rings the opposite direction.

    New here, from NH

    You don't know what you are missing, if not venturing off-road a bit. Nothing severe, but use the LC where it excels.
