MB G63 AMG has ~65% higher gas consumption than LC though. I don't get your point.

I have watched a review somewhere that LCLC and LCFE have sound insulation while 1958 does not. But I cant seem to find the video now, and not sure it was LCLC premium and FE.

You need to go to the settings menu of the instrument cluster. There is a submenu for HUD specific settings.

Do we even have active noise cancellation? Can’t find any mention of this in the manual.

You mean the heads up display? Yes, it can be changed and linked to a driver profile. So you and your wife can have different settings.

Wait how?

Looks like these are the stock Dunlops on the 20s as well. This is the first time I saw them used in Off-roading. Now it makes more sense why they were rated for mud use.

In my opinion, no type of skip plate would have helped in this case. OP said there is frame damage and the fact that there is AC damage suggests the entire engine got pushed upwards with the impact.

Yeah but if you need to winch backwards with a front mounted winch, and don’t have pulleys, anchors and straps to ”reroute” the pull, it gets useless very fast. Each type has its disadvantages and advantages. I usually try to avoid getting into situations where I would need to winch for more...

I am a big fan of hand cranked winches, if you always go off-roading with another person. Since they are not permanently attached the front of the car, you cane easily be used pull from any recovery point without the need for pulley etc. The drawback is it becomes a two person job, as one...

The law is actually changed recently. You can now pump your own gas. The funny thing is, I was there a month or so after the law changed visiting a friend. We are at some remote town near OR-ID border fueling for a camping trip. A ~70 year old man pulls up to refuel, pulls the gas nozzle and...

Yes, they dip down. But you need to select either left or right mirror on the mirror adjustment controller. It is somewhat strange they set it up like this, but if neither is selected they will not dip.

Yeah it should not block the camera unless I am missing something?

It is normal. Distance to empty calculations come with “worst case scenario” from the factory and slowly update as the car’s computer get more data on your driving habits. It goes down faster than the actual miles driven because the computer tries to estimate the remaining distance, but assumes...

Those are tiny Ukraine flags.

Non-hybrid turbo produces ~325lb-ft around 1500 RPM, much earlier than the 4.6L V8.

I am not sure if they implemented this in the LC. But on regular Toyota hybrids, putting where you are going to the navigation improves MPG as the hybrid controller adjust charging/driving based on elevation change, traffic and historic driving data. Like if there is a long downslope section on...

Yeah but the engine would be idling under those conditions on a non-hybrid as well. With hybrid, that energy is not wasted and used to charge the battery. On traditional Toyota hybrids, this is taken a step further and the engine stays at a rather high RPM even when complete stops since engine...

I am not sure I agree with that. 4 cylinder turbo (without the hybrid) has the same output as the outgoing V6. So the hybrid is not there for the loss of horsepower and torque, as there is no loss with respect to a realistic alternative. They were never going to put a turbo V6 or a V8. Tacoma...

Maintenance is for every 5K, but only every other maintenance has an oil change. There is a live maintenance tracker that shows up before the engine starts, where odo normally shows. It updates based on your driving habits, weather etc.

Yah because you have E rated 33s.

Majority of Toyota’s on the road probably follow the manufacturer’s recommended oil change schedule. Average owner doesn’t put much thought into car maintenance and follow what the shop recommends. Since average Toyota is reliable, it is probably OK for most cases. Conventional engine oils...

If you truly run it dry, it will take the exact amount of fuel the manual states. It is just the gauge that shows empty while there still is 2-3 gallons of fuel in tank. If you ever run out of fuel on a hybrid, it can become a massive issue that requires a rather uncommon dealer charger. So the...

Have you monitored the turbo gauge when this noise is present? It kind of sounds like turbo boost is being vented from the blow-off valve.

Keep in mind any type of headwind will kill your MPG due to the profile of the vehicle.

It is county road driving with 60MPH speed limit. There are several town in between, so the average speed drops due to stop and go traffic and traffic lights.

I got 28 mpg without trying (basically in cruise control without the ECO mode). Even if I get 5 mpg less due to weather etc, I would still get 450 miles from one tank.
