We’ll see what the salesman says. He was fantastic to work with so I expect he’ll make it right for me.

I have the mid LC trim (w/premium pkg). The spec sheet does indicate all weather floor mats, but since the port “upgraded” to the carpet mats, I assumed that meant the vehicle would not have the all weather mats. Apparently it should have had them both.

The deal The dealer did not up-charge me for the premium carpet mats—they were added at port. I ordered the all weather mats from the parts department, as well as the all weather cargo liner. Now I see on the window sticker that my vehicle included the all weather cargo liner so I’ve reached...

My LC was up-fitted with carpet mats at the port (why???!!). I promptly ordered the all weather rubber mats front, rear and cargo area and told the dealer to toss the carpet mats that I ultimately paid extra for. What a waste.

Just what I needed to hear, thanks

I’ll be driving from western WA to Missoula. Unfortunately the scenic byways won’t be an option on this trip as it will be a “means-to-an-end” sort of drive. Sounds like it’s not going to be much of an issue as far as the engine break-in is concerned.

I pulled these guidelines from another thread in the forum that ironically did not have much discussion about the actual break-in period. ——————- Breaking in your new Toyota To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is recommended: -For the first 200 miles: Avoid...

Where I live in western Washington (the state), I’ve seen one to date and that was a few weeks ago. Also saw one GX550 but that doesn’t count. I get mine this week and I’m sure it will attract some attention. We’ll see if it’s good attention or bad 😆

I recently put down a deposit on an inbound mid-trim Land Cruiser with Premium Package that is as close to what I’d order if ordering were a thing. MSRP and due to arrive first or second week of July to Family Toyota of Burleson (Dallas area). I asked about QC port holds and was told some are...

That size looks perfect. Likely what I’m going to go with.

There is an exception to every rule ;)

Remember, speed is your friend on washboarded roads ;)

Not near as bad as the Bronco rollout in 2021. Ford still holds the crown for that.

There is always stupid money on BaT.

I’ve a hunch this will not equate to Ford’s “Dirt Mountain” debacle with the Bronco release.

I can begin to wrap my head around high prices for Hawaii, because all oil is shipped in to the islands for refinement. But in the great state of WA our prices are exorbitantly high thanks to our governor’s pet carbon tax.

Not that I’ve had to chain up more than a small handful of times in my 45 years of driving, but no factory vehicle should be restricted from having chains installed when absolutely needed. That said, it won’t impact my decision to get a LC250. If chains are required I probably shouldn’t be on...

Not saying we haven’t been horrible stewards of the environment, but we’re being misled to think that EVs are the great savior to petrol. Aside from the limited practicality of an EV, I have a big problem with the extraction of the materials needed to make the batteries. Now, once a truly viable...

Yeah, they’re not there or anywhere close yet, and I’m not convinced EV is the solution to the woes we are being told exist. I think much of the automotive industry agrees or is starting to question the matter.

That, and charging times as quick as filling a gas tank at the pump.

Well played!

Yeah, the tabs thing 🤦 But gotta buy our gas vehicles while we can because in a few years no dealers will be able to sell anything but EV 😂

I am retired so don’t put all that many miles on a vehicle, either. I do take extended road trips a couple of times a year, but fortunately those are to Idaho and Montana, where fuel prices are more reasonable. I’ll by “cheap” premium in those states 😆

Living in the Socialist Republic of Washington state we enjoy some of the highest fuel prices in the country (behind CA and HI). Having to purchase premium (92 octane here) means ~$5.30/gallon (currently). That’s not a deal breaker for me in considering a LC250, but still, it’s not insignificant...

As of now the poll results (50-60) align with my assessment of most LC buyers’ ages (I’m 61 but identify as 60, so I’m in the most popular age group). I think younger folks will flock toward the new 4Runner.

I’ll do something different than the OEM wheels and tires but not yet sure what exactly. Definitely 18” rims and for sure an AT tire (either Falken Wildpeak or Cooper AT3 XLT). I do like the GX550 Overtrail wheels a lot and if they accepted the Toyota center cap that would be a consideration...

I love the Heritage Blue/Grayscape top even more now after seeing these videos, than before. Swap out the 20” wheels for 18’s, slap on some AT tires and Bob’s your uncle. 🤤

I hope you’re right. I’m also hoping that, with the announcement of the new 4Runner, a whole lot of people who were previously interested in the LC will step aside and let those of us who want the LC have at it sooner.

So they’re falsely posting MSRP?

Another local dealer, Michael’s Toyota of Bellevue (WA) has 9 LC’s on their website with notations that they’re either “In Transit” or “In Production” 6 FE’s and 3 Land Cruiser trims, all posted with no markups at TSRP. This is refreshing to see. They don’t have anything inbound or in...
