Brought home a 1958 on Friday here in Ottawa. Last one of an initial allotment of four they received. Apparently wasn't spoken for; I got it after walking in to the dealer's looking for a 4Runner.
Hey everyone,
Glad to finally post an intro thread after browsing the threads for a week waiting to take delivery of my new 1958!
This is my first SUV after owning sportier cars my whole life. Looking forward to getting on the trails and doing some camping with my wife and dog.
Got her out...
20mpg here on the first 200mi. Stock '58 on the 245/18s, mostly highway. 80⁰ beautiful sunny day with little to no wind. Still on the first tank of fuel from the dealer; who knows what they put in there. Hoping the mileage gets a bit better as the miles come up.
I pick mine up Friday - will report back. Definitely remember the non-skid mat in the back.
Side question - did yours come with the 245 or 265 tires. Website says our 1958 gets 245s, but I've seen 1958s rocking 265s from the factory up here.
Purchased my 1958 in Ottawa yesterday - pick it up Friday. Only one left of a batch of four (one FE, two LCs, and a 1958). Dealer says they don't expect to receive any others until 2026.
