    2024+ Land Cruiser Heritage Blue Photo Thread

    Does the awning make a lot of noise with the sunroof open? I have an AluCab 270 on my '86 Land Rover that would make a nice addition to the LC, but it's in a bag - not a hard case - and slightly longer appearing than the one you have.

    Digital Key

    I am going from a Rivian and a Ford Maverick to the Land Cruiser... my phone is the key for the Rivian; the Maverick offers the same, but I also opted for the $100.00 optional 5-digit physical key pad on the driver's door. Honestly, I don't know why every single manufacturer doesn't offer this...

    Dashcam placement from the factory

    Indeed... that's the factory placement, as shown in both listings of First Editions on BringaTrailer.

    Dashcam placement from the factory

    ... is it intrusive? I've always tried to place mine on the passenger side of the rearview mirror to maximize my view. From the photos I've seen, it seems like it's right in the driver's line of sight? To those who have it, does it seem an easy swap to the other side?

    Should I buy the LC or something else?

    The fabric seats in the 1958 are pretty fantastic... drove one last week in Boston. Made me love the car. But, passed on the 1958 ONLY because of the advanced safety tech in the premium and FE models. If it weren't for the nightmare of trying to figure out wiring for ventilated seats, I'd...

    Should I buy the LC or something else?

    Starts at $56,900.00... the interior is fully functional without a lot of glitz. The two knobs, for instance, serve different functions depending on what is being asked: interior temp; some off road modes; etc. I'd say of the 75 cars I've owned, the 110 was in the top 5. The 200-series LC was...

    Should I buy the LC or something else?

    I'd take a look at a 4-cyl Defender 90... I had the 6 cyl. 110 for 2.5 years and 30k miles with ZERO problems. Oil changes only. Great tech; safe; the length of a Toyota Yaris; air suspension = easy to get parent in/out; great performance on the highway (and off... after 11 classic Defenders...

    Comparison of lighting quality between square v. round headlights?

    Anyone come across a comparison of the quality of light emitted from the square vs. round headlights? I have a deposit on a First Edition, but am not seeing much value in the upcharge for mudflaps... in fact, I'd rather have roof rails to the factory rack. I'd opt for the mid-grade if I...

    Question about Digital Key and climate control in 2024 First Edition

    @PixelMagic - I think I'm dense... am I to understand that you can activate things like the defrost, but it necessites a start of the engine? I'm interpreting this language literally (when maybe it only relates to the temperature setting?): "when these settings are enabled, changes will take...

    Question about Digital Key and climate control in 2024 First Edition

    It sure does... partially. I don't have the LC yet and can't find information online about its HVAC. If heat is strictly generated from the radiator coolant, then I understand that I won't have a warm interior while parked in the garage. But, I wonder what, if any, climate functions are able...

    Question about Digital Key and climate control in 2024 First Edition

    Good morning! I have a First Edition on order. One thing I love about my Rivian R1S (and also about my wife's Q5 hybrid) is the ability to activate the climate control in the garage without noxious emissions... one click of the cell phone app allows me to access the full climate. This past...
