Land Rover Defender is definitely not a town car. It is a very capable off-roader, its higher trims are arguably more heavy duty off-roaders than the LC, although also coming at a much higher price point. It's main competitor is Mercedes G-wagon, that is also more capable than the LC.
The main...
I used Meguiar's hybrid ceramic wax that comes in a spray bottle. You spray it on after washing, while the car is still wet, hose it away and dry with a towel. It does not last as long as a true ceramic coats that need to be rubbed in and allowed to cure, but also is much easier to apply.
IMO...
I think you would be getting 450 miles from one tank with 25 mpg (18x25). I got two key with mine, so it may be a new thing with Toyota (or dealer lost one of the keys :)). Did they give you a written notice about the second key?
Possibly a carplay issue? I had an issue where the radio would switch to carplay if I received a text, and it would be silent since I wasn't playing anything over carplay.
If it happens again, you can also trying restarting the head unit. Hold the power button for 3 seconds or so and it should...
It’s all good man. It is just my opinion that bad drivers in the US are equally diverse as the rest of the country. They are people who drive overly aggressive, dangerously or simply beyond their capabilities.
Probably forever. 384,000 starting events is for the backup starter, which is only used if there is an issue with the hybrid system or if it is unavailable for some reason. Even if we say the regular stater is used 5 times per day (where the actual number is probably 0), it will last 210 years.
It probably does not require maintenance. Electric motors do not need regular maintenance since they have very few moving parts that "rub" into each other and since it is a closed system that does not contaminated with fuel, exhaust, moisture etc, and generates little heat. Even on Rav4 prime...
Difference in cooling system maybe? Burning low octane fuel in a high compression engine generates more heat. If the cooling system is not designed to dissipate the extra heat, it can damage the engine.
Chevron is top tier, so Sam’s is definitely not selling chevron. Chevron is also a regional gas station chain not found outside of west and south, while Sam’s club is not regional.
If Sam’s club cannot get a rather easy certification like top tier, I am not trusting their quality.
