This engine makes all kinds of noises at startup and shut down with the hybrid system. The injectors, port injectors, make a rattle at startup until it switches to direct injection. Mine makes some wild noises the few seconds after shut off, including a double popping noise (I only hear this is...
I've noticed a noise from mine that sounds like an exhaust leak at cold start. It cooled off a bit where I’m at the end of last week and started hearing this in the morning. The noise went away once it warmed up, but I could hear this when initially pulling away after startup too. I’m going to...
When I got the call from a local dealer that a 1958 that was due in August showed up at the end of June and is available to test drive once it goes through the shop I went directly there to check it out with no real expectations. Wasn't able to test drive and didn't even have fuses in yet to...
I for one find it comfortable to lay with the seats folded and my torso on the seat backs. I saw a YouTuber (Chloe) take a LC Toyota gave her to an off-road event and she just put an air mattress back there and found it very comfortable with the incline. I haven’t spent the night yet, once it...
The 1958 comes with unbranded white for lights. The LC and FE get the color changing Rigids. How difficult it would be to swap out for the Rigid is what I’d like to know, my guess is the wiring doesn’t exist in 1958 for the color change button so would require a lot of dissembly to route it. But...
Sorry to hear this, major bummer, but these things happen. Please keep us posted on the actual problem and how you make out. I'd definitely go for a replacement if you hit 30 days in the shop, and if not, can still try for it or at least demand a 10 year/100,000 mile warranty on the powertrain...
The 1958 is a Base First Edition. It is a limited edition model and the VIN is literally “Base/First Edition”. Everyone calls the Land Cruiser the middle grade, it isn’t, it is the only grade. Moving forward there will be Land Cruiser with option packages and some other special editions. Only...
Can anyone point to the part number for the roof rails yet? Not the optional rack the FE gets or crossbars, the standard rails that comes on the Land Cruiser.
Looking to purchase the roof rails off a Land Cruiser for my 1958. I’m in the Harrisburg, PA area. Likewise, if anyone knows the part numbers for these new, that’d be helpful too. Thank you!
I’ve heard the same in the past. Time will tell how these new Road + Trail AT’s do, they are using different compounds and my understanding is it is Cooper’s first AT designed entirely using computer modeling. I’ve read that Cooper was given a big budget with the Goodyear acquisition, but...
the manual shows two different switch styles, mine is the one with 3 positions, unfolded, auto, and folded. It makes no difference if it is in unfolded or auto position, it still folds.
It appears to be something I enabled with the way I pressed the lock button on the fob…
I wouldn’t say the round lights are poor performance, they work quite well in projecting light down the road (both low and high beam). The odd thing is that they have a big notch in the low beam, particularly the drivers side, presumably to not blind opposing drivers. They are adjustable, not...
I heard it mentioned and my dealer also said that it will just be Land Cruiser moving forward with some special editions along the way. The 1958 and FE are both special editions for 2024. I have a 1958 and insurance recognizes it as a Land Cruiser Base First Edition, and in several reviews it...
Only drove about 20 miles at up to 75 MPH. Initial impressions are mostly very positive. The good: road noise is extremely low, perhaps quieter than the OEM Geolander; ride is awesome compared to OEM, it soaks everything up, even being a little overinflated from the install - there's no...
Anyone know if 2024 Tacoma front floor mats will work in the LC? I assume the 2025 4Runner mats will be interchangeable, including the trunk, perhaps GX550 too?
