FINALLY saw the Heritage Blue in person yesterday on an FE (and I work at a Toyota dealer). I can say that none of the photos I've seen anywhere online do that color justice. In person, the blue and the grey roof are BOTH great looking colors. I had my wife come over and check it out and she...

EVERY new Toyota delivered to North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama go through SET. Nothing in that region is sent directly to dealerships by Toyota. SET is able to re-print the factory window sticker with their own "add-ons". It is up to the individual dealer to make...

No AUX switches in the 2024 LC's. Kind of sucks. Tacomas are coming with them, and the new 4Runner will have them. Not sure why the LC doesn't. Factory AUX switches are one of the best options they're putting in new trucks/SUV's these days, along with factory brake controllers. There's...

The FE has the most port installed options of all the LC grades. When it leaves the factory and is loaded onto the ship, it looks a lot like the 1958. In addition, there are still parts constraints. So a possible QC hold for, say, the sunroof drain tubes that need to be inspected and...

I've been on the list for a Heritage Blue Land Cruiser grade with Premium Package since last summer. I didn't really care if it had a sunroof or not. Really did NOT want cool box, and was not happy about being forced into that option, and didn't care whether I had leather or SofTex. However...

It's not the dealers necessarily, it's the ports adding all the extras because they want the extra money. Most of the time, the dealer has NO control over what is or isn't added at port. Many times, our Inventory Manager was told "sorry, these items are being put on every vehicle", especially...

Haven't touched the LC leather, but I wouldn't choose based on that - I'd think in the long haul, the synthetic will hold up very well, maybe even better than the real leather, based on what I've seen of older Toyota leather (and not a knock on Toyota leather, because most manufacturer's leather...

It does seem to be lacking in cubby/close-by-to-the-driver storage, but the door pockets are decent size, and the storage trays surrounding the battery are nice for the odds-n-ends emergency gear at least...

Yes, the Land Cruiser grade without Premium Package has the 360 camera.

Re: QC hold, rumors have been going around that they are checking something on the sunroof. Seems to be happening with some GX's also...

Our vehicles go through Southeast Toyota, which covers a 5 state region. Our first unit was almost a month behind other parts of the country, so whatever the hold was, probably got addressed before ours were released. Typically, SET is very tight lipped about holds. We get our info from...

No, I don't know when the 2025 switchover will happen. I'll check with our inventory manager to see if he's heard anything. And yes, I would expect some sort of price increase for 2025...

We just delivered our 2nd Land Cruiser this morning. Land Cruiser edition (not Premium). 1st delivery 2 weeks ago was the FE.

Well, our desire for a Land Cruiser grade with Premium Package doesn't look like it's going to happen. Seat comfort has become a big concern for us at our age, with fairly regular road trips. We realized we would be going backwards in seat comfort from both of our current vehicles to the new...

The reason for the ongoing disagreement is because Toyota DOES NOT clarify the fuel requirement. It READS as only a suggestion to maximize engine performance. Land Cruiser Owner's Manual says: Whereas GX550 Owner's Manual says: There are turbocharged engines that will run fine on 87 octane...

The Land Cruiser is supposed to end up being my wife's vehicle. She's already told me it won't be getting muddy, and we don't get the opportunity to get out to play in the dirt as much these days anyway. It's been too long since I went out spraying mud. Every vehicle I've had/has that was/is...

I call BS on the LC only being around for a couple years (in the US, at least). Toyota got a lot of negative feedback when the LC was dropped a few years back. I saw a video a while back where a Toyota exec was saying the LC and 4Runner BOTH had a spot in the lineup. Toyota believes that the...

17.9 gallon tank for the Land Cruiser. 21 gallon for the GX. Most likely due to the hybrid battery setup. My guess is the the future Hybrid version of the GX will also have to go with the smaller gas tank. That being said, the LC should still have more range than the twin turbo V6 GX. The...

The LC pricing came in about where I suspected it would. For comparison, my guess is the Tacoma TRD Pro and Trail Hunter are going to settle into the $65-70 MSRP range depending on options. I've come to that conclusion after building a TRD Off Road Premium at $56k. Assuming another $3k for...

Well, this looks like our build: Land Cruiser Base MSRP: $61,950 Exterior: Heritage Blue / Grayscape : $350 Interior: Black Leather Engine: 2.4L 4-Cyl. i-FORCE MAX Hybrid Engine Drivetrain: Full-time 4-Wheel Drive Transmission: 8-Speed Electronically Controlled automatic Transmission with...

I would also do 5k changes if using Mobil 1. Many years ago, in the early 2000's, I was a big user of Mobil 1 Synthetic. But around the mid 2000's, the API made a change allowing a severly hydro-cracked "dino" oil to be defined as "full synthetic". Immediately, Mobil 1 stopped using true...

A 2024 4Runner Limited loaded up is already $55k. My guess is the 2025 redesigned Limited will run $57k loaded, and at least $60k loaded with the iForce MAX. Figure $65k for the 2025 TRD PRO. So the LC probably isn't that much further out of reach, really. The 4Runner is still different...

I prefer the exterior retro look of the Land Cruiser over the GX. I also prefer the interior layout over the Lexus. And buttons are better because I like to watch the road. Of course, this is only based on photos, but I suspect my opinion won't change much once I see them in person. I also...

US EPA figure will probably be 23.1 mpg, after using US govt conversion math. 🤣 But seriously, 25+ mpg for that brick would be insanely cool. 😎

My 2.3L Turbo Ranger is pretty acceptable inside the cab, as far as sound goes. I do know that a pre-programmed sound is piped through the B&O system, but it isn't overly noticeable. My Ranger is MUCH quieter than the Bronco with the same engine, and I'd expect the LC to be closer to the...

Exhaust note? It's a 4 cylinder. They're supposed to be quiet, because when they're loud, they sound ridiculous. The quieter the better in my opinion - driving around town, on a road trip, heck, even off road so you can hear if anything is going wrong. I just hope Toyota doesn't do the...
