Thanks! A few years away yet but time to start planning, including vehicle. I’d think the 4Runner would be a great “Goldilocks” vehicle to consider as well. I’m looking forward to seeing it alongside the LC in showrooms so I can check out both & compare.

Love Trail Dust! I thought it was a great unique color, but yes thought it looked quite yellow. I expected almost a pastel yellow like Ford’s bronco heritage color, but in person TD appears much more tan/buff/chamois to me. As always it depends on the lighting I suppose.

49 here. So planning a vehicle I can pay for & take into retirement. Mostly highway road trips as I really want to get back into covering some territory. I’ve been around much of the western half of the continent (not nearly in enough depth) in my old F150. So the catch is I need something...

49 here. Didn’t vote as I didn’t necessarily decide on a LC yet. It seems most car forums I’m on are mid 40s & above, not sure why. Though I suspect a couple of potential reasons: 1. Most likely these cars are expensive enough that younger buyers aren’t looking into them. 2. Perhaps less...

They seem to work alright for me. & my iPad is pretty janky though on iOS 17

Oh weird, yeah that seems the obvious combo to me as well. I wonder why things are different here vs the US when they come off the same line.

Not a bad car, but a waste of a good name. Complete missed opportunity. I almost can’t believe they misread the room that bad. But this is GM, legendary for misreading the marketplace for 40 years now.

Wow yes, the lighting does make it look quite yellow. I thought the color was much more tan when I saw it in person. I’d pictured it initially about as yellow as can be.

Interesting. I’m certainly seeing what you’re seeing. I might’ve thought for cost & production reasons they’d have the same frame. Maybe not.

Yep, that’s exactly it. The Jeep & Bronco are awesome vehicles! I’d have one as a second vehicle if I could. But when you’re budgeting this kind of money for a car, and they’re priced similarly, I’m looking for something I can enjoy for all types of driving, not just short trips. Sadly Chevy...

I’ve always assumed that the Toyota production system where you take what they give you is closely tied to their quality reputation. Otherwise I can’t see any benefit to doing it this way. They can because people are still lining up for a year to get a Toyota that’s ’close enough’ to what...

At 49 here I’d like to still think young & fun. The 4R seems to differentiate itself with a greater variety of trims / configurations than the LC, particularly at the lower end. You could forego the hybrid entirely & come in at a lower price point than the 1958. I suspect at my end of the...

Good question to ask. After my previous experiences I absolutely need to experience the car in person before committing. I may know upon sitting in it, I’m sure they’ll drive fine. But would find it impossible to evaluate comfort & fit without at least sitting in it first. Do people who buy...

Nice that the GX was open there! Our show last month had neither one open, but at least both made an appearance.

I get it, looking for something similar in feel to my old favorite F150 without going to quite that size again. Worth waiting to see what the new 4Runner has to offer too. I’m assuming its differentiating factor could be a lower price than the LC, but it might mirror the options/packages of...

Size matters. This is the issue I have, the Bronco Sport was my attempt at a small car, haven’t tried a RAV4 other than the back seat of an Uber. Great city cars and I’m sure Montreal would be no different for OP, but this is me too, I just want a bigger box. Particularly for the highway, but...

Thanks for some great guesses on plate meaning, I hadn’t thought of either day 282 or 282 days from now!

I hadn’t thought about them shipping some to the east coast as well. Here I was thinking they’d all go to the west coast & be trucked across the country. I didn’t even realize what a big port Baltimore is for items (like European cars) coming over from Europe.

It’ll be interesting to see how they manage the pair for sure. I hadn’t heard that rumor, & certainly hadn’t thought of questioning why there aren’t more LC variants. Maybe those come in the future? I figured their game plan though for differentiation would be to price the 4Runner lower (the...

IH8MUD Forum Hopefully an enthusiast on here will have some good advice for you. If not, as the focus of this group is the upcoming 24 LC, this is the forum I see come up on here recommended for the older models. Sounds like a nice rig you’ve got!

Same at 49. I remember when your car’s dash & stickers in the gas cap said ‘unleaded only’. I believe at one point leaded was called ethyl, though I think that term was gone by then. I also remember cars where you had to flip down the license plate to find the gas cap behind it. I’m not sure...

Toyota Canada Announces Pricing For All-New 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser This article at least shows the base prices for each. While it’s no build & price tool (why do we wait so much longer for these than the US), but at least it gives a pretty good budget idea of what to look at.

I’m not always a fan of YouTube, there seems to be far too many of those clickbait videos out there, but these guys seem to do a decent show. So I watched the video today & it didn’t look particularly dramatic. Looking forward to finding out what went wrong because it didn’t look like they...

Thanks for posting this! Hadn’t seen prices on their website yet. That might be a bit more than I was thinking but probably not surprising given the GX pricing.

Good write up & seems to make sense. Basically Toyota designed a system to be used across a multitude of car lines that would be useable & serviceable over the long term to the greatest number of owners. So the technology may not always appear to be the most cutting edge, but it wasn’t...

https://bensbeerblog.com/2019/10/29/when-your-pint-isnt-a-pint/ The interesting part about volumetric measurements is gallons eventually divide down into pints. So your ‘pint’ here is apparently supposed to be a full 20oz. Most places I see here though just label the # of ounces you’re getting...
