If I didn’t know better I’d think y’all are driving on the freeway here.

Haha yes, I’m in a Bronco Sport as well & didn’t find the LC as much bigger as I was expecting. I consider the BS too small save for short city driving where it excels. That’s what I evaluated it for when I did the test drive, but I do believe it’s very tiny. I still wish I had my F150 for...

This is me at 6’ 230# sitting in one in the showroom. I didn’t find it too bad, but I perhaps expected something closer to full size truck room, which I miss, than compact suv room like the one I have now. I kept going back & forth between the LC & the Tundra they had beside it. There’s...

Are these vehicles maybe that have transport/shipping damage that then can’t be sold as new? I have no idea, but I typically associate auctions with repos, damaged vehicles, or just plain older odd ones.

If you truly want to have fun off-road the Ranger Raptor seems like a great bargain for what you get. Also considering a Ranger, but don’t need the Raptor version. I haven’t gotten to check one out in person yet, but my worry isn’t reliability, even comparing it to the LC. It’s low quality...

Looks like the righ color choice! Congrats!

You & me both. I’m here to learn with the goal of making the correct decision for me on a long term vehicle purchase. It’s a great forum!

Great write up! Thanks for sharing your trip.

That was certainly my thought as well. It almost appears the LC is the next obvious choice. I’ve made some different decisions with cars through the years as life changes, but looking at this history I’ve been somewhat consistent. The most common upgrade for people with a Sport is to...

1998-2007: 1998 GMC Sierra. It was pretty well miled & aged out. Time to trade for an upgrade. 2007-2016: 2007 Ford F150. It was getting up there & seemed big for the city. Wish I’d kept it, I’d still be driving it I’m sure. The best vehicle I’ve owned, though the Acura was up there too...

Man I miss paper printed brochures.

https://robbreport.com/motors/cars/lists/best-james-bond-cars-ranked-1234862657/ Thanks for inspiring me to do some reading on this as I actually didn’t remember how many different cars there were through all the movies!

This was a friend’s logic in buying a Camry hybrid recently. If they can hold up for half a million miles of city driving taxi use & be economical to repair, they must do just fine as normal cars.

I really think they nailed the design, even if it does look a bit Rivian. There’s only so much you can do with these types of vehicles to give them a heritage off roady look. They should find a niche & be well received if they can keep production like the concepts. As a pure EV it’s not at...

The center highlighted in the video is in Toronto & though it’s for all Toyotas, they do show a LC receiving new fog lights. This appears to be the place where they put on all those port installed options nobody seems to want. I’m trying to figure out how shipping vehicles to a processing...

Enjoy! Care Care Nut videos also got me interested in Toyotas as I consider what vehicle might be right to keep for a decade or more. As I used to do, instead of trading every couple of years. I’m a truck guy, & want another, but all I haul is air anymore so maybe a LC will be about right.

For those who have experienced other makes’ systems, is Toyota’s that much worse? I’ve had 2 Fords now with these features & I’ve maybe had the auto braking engage once when it didn’t need to. Most other times it’s engaging just a hair sooner than I’m already on the brake. I have to try to...

Nice!! Up until I bought a 2007 Acura MDX in 2016 I could always find a hot wheels of every car I’d had, or reasonably close facsimile, if not an actual collector version die cast. That’s kinda when I stopped bothering. I may well have to pick this up again.

Having seen pics of this mythical hdmi port, does it actually display video on the screen from external sources? I can’t imagine what else it would do, but being in N.America I also can’t conceive of a car maker or governing body doing or allowing this. Even with a ‘vehicle must be in park’...

I get awfully jealous at the thought of living in Vegas! If I ever see snow again it’ll be too soon…. & of course here it’s coming all too soon.

That looks like just a beautiful place to visit! & so close out. Is there a fair bit of area you can explore with just gravel roads out that way? Or was everything you posted after the more challenging section with the water crossing? I’m not a huge off roader, particularly when driving...

I’m sure many do. Unfortunately it’s also possible to research & test drive, focusing only on some criteria, which ultimately leads to disappointment in the end when other important criteria aren’t satisfied. Hopefully at the end of the day OP gets used to the vehicle & satisfaction improves.

Wow that’s not good. Sorry this happened to you.

Everybody on here (& the GX forums) seems to hate it. But really, while it seems the car lacks storage, how much storage do you really need? I either have a bag full which is sitting on the passenger side floorboard anyways or need almost nothing. I have sunglasses in a case close at hand &...

Must not be updated live as I know there’s more than just me in Calgary & Edmonton. But no one showing.

Here I was worried about the LC fitting in my 7ft door normally. I’m guessing that’s not a problem for most implementations of 7ft doors. I’ll just have to measure mine in case the door does hang a little low.

Thanks for putting out there what I think appeals to me about the LC. A comfortable way to travel through city or country. With more off-roading capability than I need in case the country side of it leads to some unmaintained roads. It’s just a great blend of everywhere travel. I have to be...

Ugh. That’s where wherever in the 90s the price falls, I almost think Toyota has the upper hand in showrooms now. If you’re laying out basically 6 figures, you hope to do that only once a decade. Nothing’s cheap any longer, but surely this has to be exploring the top end of price that people...
