    What’s your take on this review of the LC

    ☑️ Door closing noise mentioned as the first thing ☑️ Doesn't drive like a teenager in a WRX ☑️ Compares highest trim fully loaded price to base GX price. These reviews are getting a little exhausting.

    Instrument cluster mostly blank

    Is this disappearing dash display becoming a rite of passage? I'll go check in a few hours to see if it has self-healed. Edit: Checked again 2 hours later and we are back to normal.

    Top Gear - Toyota Land Cruiser vs. Defender, G-Class, & Grenadier

    I’m surprised we didn't get the panoramic moonroof in North America. Maybe for crash ratings or even for added weight reducing the payload?

    Local tire shops will fix this for you for free. Just remember to give them some business down the road when the time comes!

    Make 2400W inverter on by default?

    What you want to do is more in-line with what folks do when upfitting a campervan. Look into 12V DC-DC setups, which you can find a lot of details and guides to the parts and pieces online... just add "camper van" to your search :D

    22 MPG!

    Or perhaps wind, elevation, elevation profile, weather conditions, traffic, seasonal gas mixture, load, and probably 100 other factors are at play here and it has absolutely nothing to do with anyone driving good/bad. Nevada and Idaho have 80mph interstates on rolling hills with heavy winds. I...

    2025 4Runner Pricing Announced

    Highest trims are looking similar in MSRP to LCLC w/Premium... which also happens to be the highest trim LC for 2025. IMO the hybrid TRD-OR (non premium) seems like a nice sweet spot. Source: 4Runner Forum via r/4Runner

    Real World mpg

    To build on your cheat code: Also once you get going, don't stop. Also, once you get going, keep driving for at least 20+ minutes, the LC needs some time to remember it is a hybrid. Also, stay above 25mph, because attempting to maintain a speed of 10-20mph in a residential neighborhood...

    Rigid fog lights on 2024 LC

    Sounds like your button is defective and you should bring it up with your dealership next time you are in for service. It's been foggy here at nights with a valley inversion. Gave me an opportunity to play with the fog lights a bit. The button on the side should swap between amber and white...

    Wishful Features that would convince you away from the GX or Defender or new 4runner

    Yes, I have had those disabled for the bulk of my time with the LC so far. It addresses the problem, it does not solve the problem. I am reminded of it every single time I turn it on and have to hit the return button to actually see my dash. In my opinion, Toyota could have thought through the...

    Part numbers for Toyota skid plates?

    I, and many others on this forum (see the skid plate thread for all the details you need to install) have installed parts PT228-60242 & PT228-35241 successfully. As far as I’m aware, nobody has found all the necessary parts needed for the new 2025 rear diff skid if it can be installed on a 2024...

    Snow Tire Options

    It's kinda funny because I picked AT4W's because of the AT3W's reputation as a winter tire. I had KO2s in the past and disliked them in winter, so I did not pick KO3s because of the KO2's reputation. o_O
