    "PREMIUM FLOOR MAT SET" - any idea what this actually entails?

    In my opinion, for us, the carpet mats are useless. The all weather seat and cargo mats are superior to the carpet. Again, just my opinion

    Land Cruiser key?

    There is a small sliding tab on the back of the fob. Slide it and the key can be slid out from the corner where the carrying ring is attached. It’s a flat, square type key.

    Tire upgrades on 20 in. rims?

    I got 20” rims and our replacement will be Nokian nAT https://na.nokiantyres.com/all-terrain-tires/nokian-tyres-outpost-nat/ The tires have an Aramid sidewall like Kevlar. My F250 has Goodyear Kevlar tires and those tires, I feel, have saved me some serious tire damage on Interstate 40. So, I’m...

    Mark ups

    Like I told my salesman, let’s talk, but if you start a conversation with “markup”, the conversation ends… That caused the salesman to disappear and re-emerge a few minutes later. I purchased at MSRP and with no added dealer crap. I feel like I got a decent deal and they made their profit.

    Land Cruiser Sunglasses Holder?!!

    The problem I ran into is that the visors on the LC are kinda thick. I bought a set of sunglass holders off of Amazon and had to return them because the holding clip opening was too small to clip on the visor adequately. Seems most of these clips are made for “thin” visors. I’m still looking.

    For info only, the outlet has a “T” prong. That designates it as a 20 amp plug.

    Battery tender connection

    I hooked up the BT yesterday and it took about 20 minutes until I got the solid green charged light. A BT under the hood is not very practical. The 12V plug on the AC control panel at the back seat is not hot when the vehicle is not running. However, BT does sell a OBD port plug to charge the...

    What’s included at delivery.

    I also don’t know what a “hitch slider” is. If it some kind of insert, I’ve never seen a vehicle with that accessory. Anyway, the PIO for us was the carpet floor mats and carpet cargo mat. In a box in the back was a set of All Weather mats for the front seat and rear seat. I had to purchase the...

    Battery tender connection

    I regularly use a BT on my vehicles. I checked the LC just yesterday and did not see an easy way to use a BT attached under the hood. Maybe a direct battery connection would work? But that means cord through door/window.

    300 mile road trip summary

    We picked up our mid-trim LC today with 20" rims. I pretty much agree with the original poster. I don't have anything bad to say about the vehicle. Is it as fast as an V8 X5, no, but it is just fine for what type of vehicle it is. Regarding the 20" rims, I can honestly say I have no plans to...

    Is the LC 250 truly customizable: Can you change media screen (8" for 12.3") and can you swap headlights (square/round)?

    I don’t know how much can be changed, but I did run across this recently: https://www.ebay.com/itm/375484486382?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=xdrg9prrrvi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=xuArX7zhTE2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    Quality Control Delays!!

    The sticker found usually at the dealers site can be downloaded as you know. But the watermark usually coving the front of the sticker can be removed with Acrobat. I used PDF Expert to remove the watermarks.

    Transmission overheating issue

    So, this is my 2cents: Your trailer weighs about 5000 pounds. That roughly equates to 500 to 750 pounds of "tongue weight." You said you had about 1000 pounds in the vehicle. If that is NOT including fuel, then add approximately 6 pounds per gallon of fuel. The vehicle has about 20 gallons of...

    Catalytic Converter Shield

    Someone else can comment on this, but I do believe that Toyota sells a transmission shield ? I thought there is a thread about this shield? From what it seemed, it looks like the transmission shield also looks like it covers the catalytic converter? If so, maybe the shield with tamper resistant...

    Can you request the dealer to NOT drill in the front license plate frame?

    Just FYI, if you park at the LAX terminal without a front license plate, you will get home and find a ticket conveniently mailed to you.

    Can The New Toyota Land Cruiser’s Tiny Turbo Tow?

    Page 456 in the owners manual seems to suggest that the brake type must be selected first in the settings? That seems to reset the gain to 0, which deactivates the trailer brake control… I don’t know, but maybe a gain of 5 can be set in the settings after setting the brake type and before...

    2400 Watt Inverter

    Your trailer AC is probably peaking at about 20amps for 13kbtu. The LC is 2400/120 - good for 20amps. Running a trailer AC, maybe. With the startup load for the AC, I personally think the LC would be overloaded. The worst that may happen is you pop the LC breaker. Then you may need to use an...

    Black smoke and loss of power

    In my opinion, the timing chain/belt was installed without the engine cams/crank being lined up correctly. The sprockets should have alignment marks. In my opinion, those marks were out of alignment. I would double check that and make sure those marks are perfectly in alignment.

    Oil and Filter Change, easy peasy.

    Hopefully this is not too controversial, but Fram makes a filter that is for the LC. It’s a 4967. I personally wouldn’t use the lower quality 4967 Frams, but the higher quality 4967 seems to get good reviews.
