They are minting cash selling 2024 4Runners and 2024 LC’s at the same time tbh
Outgoing 4Runner is probably their highest margin% vehicle in the lineup.
Is the car on Toyota SmartPath inventory tracking? Easiest way to find it would be to enter your zip where it’s going, select the dealer, and then see what’s en route there. Can filter on trim and color to narrow it down and then make sure your VIN matches
This one - the car I was originally intent on buying - has now been pushed back again. 8/10-8/30 is the new estimated availability. It was initially expected in early to mid June. Glad I gave up waiting.
My impression; Toyota does not make it helpful to have a preferred dealership or salesperson or anything like that. They can't really order you a car. They get what they get, and can try and trade allocations around, but for the most part, the best way to buy a Toyota is to look at Toyota's...
There’s a Meteor Shower LC trim with Premium Package showing up in the Cleveland area in July - 20” wheels, roof rack, cargo mat. Just under $71k sticker. If anyone is interested let me know and I can give you contact info.

I decided to get the Tundra (Platinum hybrid). Time will tell if that’s the right decision for me or not; the good news is you can always change your mind, the bad news is that doing so is expensive 😅
I’m looking at the bigger Toyotas because I’m in the home projects / camping / bike hauling / light-medium towing needs; the off roading tech of the LC is very cool but unlikely something I would ever utilize much. I do much appreciate the full time 4wd
On the flip side the Tundra Platinum...
I can go buy a Tundra Platinum hybrid today for thousands less than the Land Cruiser I’ve been waiting on. Other than off-roading and the full time 4wd system, the Tundra is just a lot more car…
Mid trim LC with premium pack ~70k vs a Tundra hybrid Platinum trim ~73k or something close. It surprises me how closely priced these are considering the Tundra is a much heavier duty vehicle, which is also available with some goodies like a twin panel moonroof that you just can’t get in the LC...
It’s a lot easier to let air out of the spare when it’s time to use it than the opposite…
