    Dealer Negotiations

    Unfortunately we live in a world where everyone has their own facts. In that case opinions are facts in the minds of some.

    LC250 oil smells like gas during oil change

    There is something in the manual referencing warm-up and condensation. My first oil change looked like coffee but trying to warm up before driving and seeing if that helps.

    JBL Stereo

    I mostly listen to live concert recordings and the JBL system in the FE does a really good job reproducing the sound. My only dislike is there does not seem to be a way of connecting the recorder via an auxiliary cable with an adapter. Nothing beats walking out of a show and plugging the...

    Understanding my LC Mileage

    They could have offered me a Tesla for $5K and I would still drive a Land Cruiser. I paid a little over MSRP but I really wanted a First Edition. Have had mine a month and worth it to me.

    Hybrid changed at 1000 miles?

    I am at 2,500 miles and mileage better than first 500 but that might be how I am driving. Drives differently from FJ Cruiser which is no surprise.

    LC Fuel Economy

    In regards to the regenerative braking and gas mileage, going downhill sure seems to boost the mileage versus climbing. I drove from Los Angeles to Oakland today and reset the mileage. Going through LA traffic in Eco mode the first 70 miles I was at 18 MPG. Going up to the pass my MPG had...

    Hybrid "Hump Feeling" while Breaking

    I have noticed that too. In regards to the regenerative braking and gas mileage, going downhill sure seems to boost the mileage versus climbing. I drove from Los Angeles to Oakland today and reset the mileage. Going through LA traffic in Eco mode the first 70 miles I was at 18 MPG. Going up...

    One week, 320 miles.

    I think the avg mpg calculation is incorrect or it is not cumulative. I have had stretch on the freeway where the avg mileage has moved at an amount where based on miles traveled it varies between 14 mpg to 30 mpg over 20 or 30 mile segments. I plan on doing some real testing based on miles...

    Being Flagged Down ???

    I have had a few. I was in Manhattan Beach for the Rolling Stones concert and in my hotel parking lot I saw a guy walk past it on his way to get coffee stop and walk around it. I was also at the Toyota dealership with a question on a blocked sensor. The truck was parked and a woman in a sweet...

    how to disable back up sensor

    Having a similar issue with a front sensor. My mechanic installed the front license plate off center rather than drilling holes in the front bumper and one of the sensors is blocked intermittently, Called dealer and they just want to drill holes. That's not how they get 6 stars. Will visit...

    Quality Control Delays!!

    If mine hadn't arrived would be at Benicia now. I would say it was worth the wait.

    USB-C Flash Drive for Music

    Similar issue here. I am assuming the USB-C should function like the aux in. I record concerts and like to plug the recorder in for the ride home. Transfering to my phone for bluetooth connectivity would require traveling with a laptop which isn't feasible. I have a cable that converts the...

    Quality Control Delays!!

    Oh man...Hope it wasn't an FE. I had something similar happen with a custom smoker I had order during Covid. It was scheduled to arrive before the start of the football season but had tumbled in the truck and was a total loss.

    Difference between LC / LC + Premium and FE

    Upgraded stereo and video screen too. The stereo in my FE is really nice. Haven't compared it to the trim but sounds way better than what I have in my FJ that cost $1500 to install.

    Difference between LC / LC + Premium and FE

    Not sure about Yokohamas for the Land Cruiser but loved them on my MR2 until they stopped making the size I needed

    Auxiliary Jack???

    Haven't found one and not mentioned in the parts of the manual I checked. If not it will be my first disappointment as a record concerts and typically plug in the recorder via the auxiliary jack. Will have to see if the USB-C connector feeds in through the stereo if I can't find it.

    What is the milage on the odometer on delivery?

    what sounds suspicion? that they had another one that had been on test drives or that they put a few miles on it to make sure there were no issues. I have no issue with 7 miles.before delivery.

    What is the milage on the odometer on delivery?

    Mine had 7. They said one of the techs took it out for a few miles to confirm there were no issues. They said after an experience where there was a loose screw in an engine that blew up the engine leaving the dealership they always take it out once. They had a black one in the show room that...

    16 days and counting…and now she is here!!!

    It will be worth the wait, trust me. I have had mine for 24 hours and was worth the wait.

    Counting the days. First Edition on the ship.

    Thx. It was timed well because I was in Europe the last month and picked it up 18 hours after landing. I am in the SF Bay Area. First mods TBD. Once I get all the the things in it figured out. I know new all-terain tires are coming. First adventure is an LA trip to see girlfriend and hit...
