Hard to say what it will be compared to shorter wheelbase vehicles without making actual measurements, but it will be able to make sharper turns compared to vehicles of similar wheelbase.

I got close to 26 mpg today in low speed city driving. It is quite impressive for a vehicle of this size with full time 4wd.

LC being a fulltime 4wd vehicle with torsen central diff would actually make tight hairpins easier compared to part time 4wd systems that most off-roaders have.

Yeah they fulfill the requirement in all the mountain passes I drove through. The main issue with these types of fabric based chains however is that they fall apart easily, and generally only last for few winters if used regularly. https://autosock.us/products/autosock-al64

I think there is a major misconception in this thread. Hybrid battery does not need to charge to full to be effective. It is constantly being charged and discharged. A battery has most efficient power delivery/acceptance between 30-70% of charge. A battery with high charge level gets more...

It also doesn't stop backdoors since their far tip is above the wheel well.

They will probably release a new third version, like the LC ”heritage edition” or LC “classic”. It will basically be LC LC with round headlights. Or they can make round headlights an optional equipment for LC LC.

Are they listed in western TN? There is a Toyota engine site at Jackson TN, so these units were perhaps used for some sort of testing.

Also, MPG seems to be quite low for the 1st 10 mins or so, until the engine reaches operational temperature. So if you have a short commute, MPG will be low.

Bi modal distribution could be coming from primary city vs highway drivers.

It is rather silent for me, unless there is strong headwind on highway speeds.

If geography allows, going down a long steep hill at a moderate brake rate also works well.

Lol that is embarrassing, I will edit my post.

Yes it is possible. Try reaching to 35-40 MPH, then slowly lift your feet of the gas until engine turns of. Then very slowly apply gas and it should engage electric motor. It can keep speed for a significant period of time with electric only (I was bale to travel 1.5-2 miles or so on electric...

LC LC trim with 20 inch wheel, 34 psi (cold). I use 93 octane fuel. In my opinion, how you brake is as important to how you accelerate with hybrids. Coasting as much as possible is the best, if coasting is not possible, applying low/moderate brake pressure over a longer distance is much better...

What trim are these? If these are 1958s, it could be people who wanted to upgrade to higher trims.

Interesting, I thought ECU would be able to keep knocking under control in summer even with regular. What concerns me more is the colder/denser air during winter, especially after starting. Air can be as much as 20% denser here in Wisconsin compared to summer. If it has minor knocking now, it...

I got 25.5 MPG at 70mph. And GX reporting that?

It is one page 641.

There is an even harsher warning below. That says engine damage is possible.

I mean they gave us an answer. It is written in the owners manual and on the gas cap. We also know the engine has 11:1 effective compression, which would require something like 92 octane fuel to be fully utilized. Manual clearly says using lower octane fuel can damage the engine. We can discuss...

Their curves could be different. For example Lc might be producing more horsepower at lower RPMs due to a difference in tune that allows higher compression at lower RPMs. In other words, LC might have a “flatter” HP curve compared to Tacoma, but both have the same max values. We need to see...

It takes roughly 20 and 36 horsepower to move a car at 65 and 80MPH, respectively. Lets say for LC 30-50 horsepower is needed due to increased air resistance. The engine would be producing 50 HP at around ~2500 RPM without boost. So yeah, it can very easily maintain highway speeds with boosting...

Genesis can put a quantum computer in their infotech and I would still pass on issue to their terrible dealers.

Yeah this is the argument for Mercedes G-wagon. Insanely capable, and positively reliable. But simply to precious the risk doing serious off-roading with $140k price tag.

Yeah both 300 and 250 series are light duty, and arguably 250 is more capable since lighter vehicle with shorter wheelbase is more capable (with everything else being equal). 300 series is traditionally called the station wagon version which is larger. Heavy duty Land Cruiser is the 70 series...

It could also be “Grandest Highlander”.
