I have the mid LC trim (w/premium pkg). The spec sheet does indicate all weather floor mats, but since the port āupgradedā 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 matsāthey 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 Iāve 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.
Iāll be driving from western WA to Missoula. Unfortunately the scenic byways wonāt be an option on this trip as it will be a āmeans-to-an-endā sort of drive.
Sounds like itās 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:

Where I live in western Washington (the state), Iāve seen one to date and that was a few weeks ago. Also saw one GX550 but that doesnāt count. I get mine this week and Iām sure it will attract some attention. Weāll see if itās good attention or bad š
I recently put down a deposit on an inbound mid-trim Land Cruiser with Premium Package that is as close to what Iād 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...
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 governorās pet carbon tax.
Not that Iāve 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 wonāt impact my decision to get a LC250. If chains are required I probably shouldnāt be on...
Not saying we havenāt been horrible stewards of the environment, but weāre 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, theyāre not there or anywhere close yet, and Iām 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.
I am retired so donāt 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. Iāll by ācheapā premium in those states š
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). Thatās not a deal breaker for me in considering a LC250, but still, itās not insignificant...
As of now the poll results (50-60) align with my assessment of most LC buyersā ages (Iām 61 but identify as 60, so Iām in the most popular age group).
I think younger folks will flock toward the new 4Runner.
Iāll do something different than the OEM wheels and tires but not yet sure what exactly. Definitely 18ā 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 20ā wheels for 18ās, slap on some AT tires and Bobās your uncle. š¤¤
I hope youāre right. Iām 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.
Another local dealer, Michaelās Toyota of Bellevue (WA) has 9 LCās on their website with notations that theyāre either āIn Transitā or āIn Productionā
6 FEās and 3 Land Cruiser trims, all posted with no markups at TSRP.
This is refreshing to see. They donāt have anything inbound or in...
