    Thank you for the write up, Dr. M. There are always changes with new model introductions. Glad to hear you like the new one, Your old one is sharp as well. Time to give it to your son on his way to Georgetown!

    Dealer Fees

    That's what my dealer just quoted. It used to be $249 and I thought that was too high.

    PlastiDip or Remove iForceMax branding?

    The Land Cruiser badge should not be black unless you want a “black package.” It looks like hell in black on a black truck. It needs to be changed to match the front Toyota logo.

    *update*321 miles and had to be towed to the dealer😞

    Outstanding. Easy fix. Always remember, anything with two or more moving parts can and will fail. Even a Toyota.

    PlastiDip or Remove iForceMax branding?

    That would bother me nonstop. Interested if anyone is aware of a remedy for this as well.

    Light Interior leather and panels photo

    The black leather is a "light black" and the grey stitching throughout the cabin is very well crafted and lightens the cabin up very well.

    Head Up Display

    I learned the polarized glasses trick as well after calling the BMW dealer and advising my HUD stops working only between the hours of 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM and begins working perfectly again at night.

    Is Toyota collecting our driving data... ie speed and habits? If so.... can we turn it off?

    Yes. It can and will be used against you even if it is not your fault for the accident in question. It shows your driving history. And a good Plaintiff lawyer will use it to impeach your driving as there will always be flaws in your driving style.

    Finally got my Land Cruiser...Returned after 2 hours

    That is horrible. If we only knew what went on from the time the vehicle leaves Japan and reaches our home garage. Sharp color combo. Good choice in requesting another one. That Heritage Blue would never match and it would haunt you for many years to come. Years ago, BMW was the defendant in...

    2024 landcruiser 1958 sold

    I drove and LC w/20s last evening. Outstanding driver. Much better than my 4R Limited ‘22. The engine is quick and the transmission shifts rapidly and smoothly. I believe it will learn your driving style in a few hundred miles or so and be a well-oiled synchronized machine.

    Is Toyota collecting our driving data... ie speed and habits? If so.... can we turn it off?

    Your driving style could also be discoverable in a lawsuit. These records can be subpoenaed from the corporation acting as a record holder. It is akin to an ECM on commercial semi-trucks and a "black box" on commercial airplanes. This is not information you want scrutinized by a sharp...

    1/2 Hitch Cover Piece - Color?

    That’s what I see in it as well—a silver hue. I like it. I stopped by a dealer in town that had a black Premium (allocated to another buyer) and looked it over. Black looks good. However, absolutely everything on the truck is black. There is no contrast. The lines / black trim really look...

    1/2 Hitch Cover Piece - Color?

    See above. Sounds like it is a stand alone option. Why Toyota would charge an additional $20 for anything on a $70k plus vehicle is beyond me.

    Are Buyers Actually Paying $5k over MSRP???

    It is clearly an attempt to take advantage of buyers. Even Rolex doesn't sell their watches over MSRP despite certain models in extremely high demand and many people are on waiting lists for years and years.

    Legends Toyota is a good shop in KC. Used to be part of the Baxter Group in Omaha. Always MSRP.

    What will replace the First Edition Trim?

    If this is accurate (which I suspect it is), my dealer was actually honest when they said the model change will be in late summer and the '24's have long been built and closed.

    Are Buyers Actually Paying $5k over MSRP???

    I wouldn't buy a blinker lightbulb from any dealer who prices any vehicle over MSRP. Lots of crooked dealers like those in Oklahoma as well.

    *update*321 miles and had to be towed to the dealer😞

    The electronic parking brake was one of the big Achille's heel in two of my Range Rover Sports. The problem with Land Rover is the "electronic" part. On 3 separate occasions while driving on the highway, the parking brake errors and engaged. This, of course, causes the vehicle to slow down...

    2024 landcruiser 1958 sold

    The lack of basic options on the 1958 for $60k + would be bothersome and invoke buyer's remorse with me as well. How did it do on the resale market?

    Landcruiser Badge (Rear) In Grey

    I am waiting for a black LC and don’t care for the black Landcruiser badge on the rear. Has anyone come across a grey Landcruiser badge or is there a good way to make this grey?

    FINALLY ARRIVED LAST NIGHT!

    Congratulations on the FE! I am amazed at the inventory Okoboji can pull in. They had one of the first Grand Wagoneers when they were impossible to get. The larger cities surrounding Okoboji (Omaha, Minneapolis, Des Moines) are still waiting for inventory. Congratulations on the FE. Glad...

    Trade-In Values for Other Toyota Products

    I presume a lot of us have and will be trading in other Toyota products for the LC. Generally speaking, how have the numbers offered on trade been for other Toyota products? I have a '22 4R Limited w/10k miles I'll be trading in and determining where I'd like to be on trade.

    Are Buyers Actually Paying $5k over MSRP???

    As I wait for my allocation, I consistently monitor the market on Autotrader, etc. It seems like many dealers are still asking $5k over MSRP for the LC Edition. Some are $7,500 - $10k over MSRP. Are people actually paying this or are the dealers dropping that as soon as a potential buyer...
