I would like to hear how the overlays and/or paint / vinyl is holding up for those who changed the color of the hatch Land Cruiser and Toyota badges. I want this done right and don't want it looking after market or peeling off after a short time/washing/etc. I really don't like the fact...

I, personally, don’t like anything about the 2025 Land Cruiser. The tailgate lighting is just inferior to my 2024 LC. Additionally, my henchman did a 3 hour scratch and tap test on all the materials inside and outside of the 2025 LC, and it is clear the materials are inferior as well to my...

Agreed and well-written. Engineering is evolving on vehicles and that is a positive in my opinion. The new Land Cruiser is a complete package. It is sharp, quick, nice size, smooth, reliable, holds its value, and is somewhat exclusive. The prior model Land Cruiser was great. However, let's...

Curious as well. I haven't had a flat since the dark ages.

Is that you, Josh's Cars of Japan??? :)

Mine did as well. It is a must option in my opinion. They really look sharp and finish off the luxury feel the Lc.

Thank you for your replies. I did climb under there and was able to easily pry them off. The rear looks significantly better with the upper cover only. 👍

I’m in the same boat as Nuke. There are very, very few LC Premiums around the Midwest. And when they are here, they are pre-sold. I do take 90 percent of the reviews with a grain of salt. I watch YouTube videos more to learn about the models and get a good look at the styling / options. It’s...

This guy is just an angry little man. He hates the fact he has a GX460 and doesn''t own a new LC or GX550 so he runs them down to make himself feel better. Just like all of the commentors on YouTube videos who can't afford one. This guy also does watch reviews. The only watches he likes are...

Tahara - R5 - LC Premium

Old post, however, I just finally received my LC. What is the easiest way to remove those two tabs underneath the hitch cover? They don't seem to want to release easily. I must not be doing something right. Thanks.

I, personally, won't buy anything for any higher end vehicle I own that isn't OEM. There is a BIG difference in quality standards between OEM and non-OEM. Plus it just Frankensteins the vehicle.

Welcome aboard. Land Cruisers are impressive vehicles. And only the finest people purchase them. 👍

That’s a good point. It does appear there is an adjustment you can make to the track in order to have the motor pull the door back further. Some are set very low and hang down well below the door opening. Which doesn’t accomplish anything.

Oh, that's good to hear. As the height of the LC is noted at 76.1." Getting to 77' with the OEM rack and perhaps 78" with a Thule rack is definitely doable with the standard residential garage.

Those Thule's look sharp. I'm a big Thule fan. They are well built and look rugged/sporty and are pretty quiet with their aero design.

Appreciate the response. How does the Thule look / attach with the existing factory rack? Does it look well integrated?

This may have been covered in prior posts, however, I am considering adding the OEM cross bars to my LC. The height with the factory standard rack is apparently 76.1." I presume the OEM cross bars are adding an additional 4-5 inches. Has anyone had any height issues with the standard...

Welcome aboard. Glad you are loving the upgrade from the 4R.

Welcome! Great step up in vehicles. Completely different style and level. You will enjoy the change.

How low is the parking garage? It must be lower than a standard residential garage door opening....

The black leather with the Premium Pkg is not too dark in the flesh. It almost has a grayish hue to it. And the white/light gray stitching throughout the interior looks very upscale/sporty over black. Tan / saddle / light interiors are sharp on the showroom floor, however, they start looking...

Looks like the only amendments to the '25 builds are: (1) Heritage Blue is offered with or without grayscape; (2) A "Rear Bumper Guard" is an inexpensive option and not defined as to what it actually is at this time; (3) There is an option for LED lights in the rear hatch door which were...

I see there is now an option for a "Rear Bumper Guard." However, there is no pic of it on the Toyota build site. Does anyone have a pic or can describe what this would be?

Did you happen to sell your Crossbars by chance? Thanks. Tom

I recall an episode of Jay Leno's Garage where he had a guy on there with two FJ62's. That is the exact sentiment the owner said about the FJ62....they are absolutely gutless and slow and, frankly, not fun to drive at any highway speed. However, they are classically sharp.

Does anyone know what the "Rear Bumper Guard" is?

The LC Premium has these LED cargo area lights. They work well. My '22 4Runner Limited has liftgate lights integrated into the liftgate itself and do not light the cargo area at all. They quasi light the area beneath the tailgate. However, they are not LED, so they don't have much light...

I did the same thing. I followed a new LC right into their garage and got out and looked it over. After the arrest and stalking charges were all squared away and dropped, I went to the dealership and ordered one.

That's a good thing. Those are signs of loving affection in LA, NY, Chicago, and Detroit.
