I think they both look pretty good & overall quite similar. I’m kind of torn actually on which way to go, as I’d want the hybrid anyways once available in the GX. The LC & interior really seems to lean into its retro roots which I love, I wasn’t quite expecting that when finally checking one...
I was so happy to finally get to check one out in person close to home the other day! Everybody knows what they look like, but I can’t not post pics anyways. What an awesome truck! I loved it. Doubly hard to walk away as it’s really the color (in & out) and package (premium LC) that I’d...
I’m sure Toyota will be able to sell all they can produce. I wonder though if they might have additional options and/or special packages after the FE goes away. With 2 versions of LC & the 1958 they might about have enough configurations, leaving lower price points or even more off road...
Well they are really the only game in town when it comes to luxury off readers. Seems they found a bit of an untapped market, I wonder if that demand continues. & if so, surely they must adjust production numbers accordingly?
My one & only trip down to the outer banks was amazing! I do hope to get back some day. Not quite brave enough to try beach driving though as I’m not experienced at it. I can see it’d be awesome though as we did do a tour company beach trip.
Thanks for the vote of confidence! I’d planned to check out Canyon Creek as it’s a short walk for me, but if that fails, South Point is about my next closest to try.
Thank you! I might need a bit of luck to properly evaluate this time around. I have to agree with you on resale for sure. & while I don’t plan to resale, that really does go to show just how long term durable & desirable Toyotas are. I’m also fortunate to have all the time I need to evaluate...
I like your logic & way of thinking. i did notice though that the 12V starter is also used in temps below 5F. That’s too often here. But I agree, realistically even if it was used at every stoplight on your commute (where the cold would likely disable the auto start/stop anyways) you’re still...
Wow you have incredible patience for Fords! If I had half the problems I wouldn’t consider another. Thanks for taking the time to share your story, as I contemplate what to do for me. I’ve had rock solid reliable Fords of all eras from 89 to present in the 2000s to today. So when I had so...
I didn’t catch the part about the relays. I did see the starter life though. 384,000 starting events. I wonder what that translates to in an expected service life? The last time I had to replace a starter in a vehicle it was a 90s Chevy truck that was about 9 years old at that point. Could...
You must’ve enjoyed the Rangers to have 3 in a row at least up until the point where Ford couldn’t fix the last one. Were the first 2 pretty problem free? The Ranger is on my shortlist to check out. Particularly if i decide I still like Ford, as ford offers nothing in a fixed roof midsize non...
Thanks for your comparison. That is about what I thought. Being able to remove the top entails compromises in just about every other way. Given I expect to drive it everywhere, I think the LC would be a better upgrade path if I go check one out in person. I’d love a Bronco 6G if I could have...

Not a LC, but a 4G Taco. Saw this thread here & on their forum too. With video, but gives a good idea of what you could expect to walk away from with a TGNA-F platform vehicle. Much better than a...
