    Counting the days. First Edition on the ship.

    Port of Toyohashi (Japan) - Arrivals, Departures, Expected vessels - VesselFinder This is the website that has all the vessels expected, arriving and departing from Toyohashi. They limit the number of vessels you can see for any given category. I didn't see the vessels departing Toyohashi on...

    Land Cruiser Made in Hamura Plant, Not Tahara???

    Mine says Aichi, which I understand to be the Tahara plant.

    Counting the days. First Edition on the ship.

    My FE LC is just arrived at the port on Indiana Highway. My dealership is about an hour from the port. I'm getting this thing in black after a bit of a go around with my family about color choices. For the record, I'm not paying over MSRP, but the dealership is putting some ceramic protection...

    Is the New 2025 Toyota 4Runner BETTER than the Land Cruiser and Lexus GX ?!

    I noted his take on the interior build quality. He's now been in all 3 vehicles, and he seems to be saying the LC Premium and the GX are a bit more refined if not luxurious than the 4runner. That makes sense from a marketing perspective. You have to find a way to segment your offering. Making...

    Counting the days. First Edition on the ship.

    So, my salesman called me today. He was fired from the dealership for taking a call from a competing dealership looking to hire him. He was fired on the spot. I had a poor purchasing experience with their Lexus sister dealership, but they're my local dealer and they weren't adding markups. The...

    Round or Rectangular?

    That looks like it was built by Ford. https://www.carscoops.com/2023/11/this-2023-ford-super-duty-looks-a-bit-dim-with-mismatched-factory-installed-headlights/

    2024+ LC Production Updates (USA/Canada)

    Dealers have the ability to "hide" their allocations from the sheet that has been circulating, their own websites and the Toyota.com site. The FE that I have a signed contract for has appeared and disappeared from both 3 times. I suspect they have been allocated, but not released yet.

    I think that's what they were originally calling meteor shower. It's that grey-ish color with the brown undertones.

    Manual passenger seats?

    I really hope that's true, but on the US site it says: "Leather-trimmed seats; 8-way power adjustable front driver's seat with lumbar support; 6-way manual passenger seat"

    Manual passenger seats?

    Has anyone else noticed that even on the top trim LC's the front passenger side seat is manually adjustable? I can understand not getting heated and ventilated seats in the second row, but now power adjustable seats in a car this expensive feels annoying.

    No power on a slope

    You might want to look at I8HMUD.com. Here's a link to a similar discussion. My first thought was either the filter or the fuel pump given the age of your vehicle. Whatever it is I hope it's an easy fix.

    2024+ LC Production Updates (USA/Canada)

    To your point, I put down a deposit on a vehicle that I have a dealer printout for, and that I have seen listed on the Smart Path and dealership listings (only to be removed) and it's not on that sheet because the dealerships can "hide" their data from the allocation database.

    2024+ LC Production Updates (USA/Canada)

    I don't think every model is listed on the sheet. The vehicle I ordered showed up yesterday on the inventory list on Toyota.com, and on the dealer's website, but it was gone shortly thereafter, so I know the vehicle has been allocated. That vehicle and the other FE they were allocated isn't on...

    Long Island Expressway cruiser seeks 2024 Land Cruiser

    Crown Toyota will have them. Ask for Andrew Rivas, and tell him Neill sent you. :-) He was Johnny on the spot when I swung by and talked to him about the First Edition. He will call you as soon as they are allocated.

    Purchased.

    Congratulations. Did your saleswoman give you an ETA? Mine is still giving me a range, but he's rather vague. I locked down a Trail Dust FE in Ontario, California. There are a lot allocated in SoCal, but the dealers seem to be asking ~ $92K. I managed to get mine at MSRP if I agreed to buy gap...

    To be honest, the dealerships in this next of the woods leave a lot to be desired.

    2024+ LC Production Updates (USA/Canada)

    I used to live in Boston, and out of curiosity I was looking to see what a local dealership I did business with a while back would charge. The markups are insane. I'm seeing a lot of First Editions with "Sale Pending" in the Boston metro with 92K Smart Path pricing. I'm ok paying for an extended...

    2024+ LC Production Updates (USA/Canada)

    Dealers see the allocation way before the general public does on Smart Path. I saw it on his dealer screen when I went to sign the deal. There was a small indicator that said allocated in the right hand corner, but I didn't see it simultaneously on Toyota.com. I saw a few on Toyota.com on the...

    2024+ LC Production Updates (USA/Canada)

    I purchased this vehicle to drive the hell out of it. I invest in real estate and the market, but I wear my watches, drive my cars, write with my pens and walk on my rugs. The memories are worth more than the inflation adjusted return.

    2024+ LC Production Updates (USA/Canada)

    The First Edition trim is limited to only 5,000 units in North America. Toyota made allocations sparingly, and not very dealer got one allocated. When the builder opened, I found one available for purchase on the Smart Path program at a dealership nearby. I went through the process only to get a...

    I am pleased to report that after a failed attempt to buy the heritage blue First Edition, I managed to secure one in Trail Dust today. I put down $3,000 as a good faith deposit and I had to agree to buy the extended warranty. I purchased it at Crown Toyota in Ontario, California. The system...
