    Real World mpg

    Not to get too far in the weeds but you can still get leaded fuel... at airports for your piston GA! 100LL all over the place.

    Does anyone actually get the posted 22/24 mpg?

    Wait, to not use it? I haven't used it except on the highway and am struggling to get above 18mpg city only driving. I did a small amount of highway on the weekend and jumped my average for this tank from around 17 to 18.3. It's been steadily droppings since then however (back to city only...

    Sightings on the Road?

    I've waved! The lady in a MS LC was excited and waved back. The dude with the TD FE was a dickhead and just glared at me. What a werido.

    Yosemite plate? Isn't that the normal Washington plate? I'm pretty sure it is Rainier.

    Sightings on the Road?

    Before I picked mine up in the last week of August, I'd seen 1-2. But since, I've been seeing them more and more, maybe 3-5 spottings. It is getting way more attention than I expected. Maybe half the time I park in public someone asks about it. A dude on a motorcycle waved me down at the...

    Does anyone actually get the posted 22/24 mpg?

    Mine's a 1958 and today just under 500 miles. I've not gotten better than 18mpg, and I drive pretty slow like an old man! Especially coming to this thing from a ND Miata. My driving is like 100% city though.

    Oil and Filter Change, easy peasy.

    Those of you draining with F133N... how long does it take to drain? I'm gonna do my first (1,000 mi) oil change here in a few weeks and will collect an oil sample. Just wondering how long I should wait to make sure I can fill the bottle.

    What was the cost/quote of full vehicle PPF?

    Damn! That’s wild. At that price, I think I’d just not and then respray in ten years.

    Anybody able to fin the p/ns for the body color front corner bump panels?

    I have a 1958 and I want to pick up a pair of those corner bumper panels (the vaguely square ones just below the headlights). However, I want to get the color matched ones from the standard LC. Anybody able to find the p/ns for these in Meteor Shower? My plan is to have both the black and the...

    ToyotaCare and 5k Oil Change Interval

    Good to know about it just being two oil changes! I saw it was worded "two years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first" but it makes sense they'd cap it.

    ToyotaCare and 5k Oil Change Interval

    Does anyone have any experience trying to get the dealership to do oil changes at the "Special Operating Conditions" intervals rather than 10k? I wonder as it is in the maintenance log provided by the manufacturer if they'll honor it. I'd like to do 5k OCI because my plan is to do some light...

    🧡 Wanted LC LC Running Boards - Ideally in SoCal

    Looking to buy a set of LC LC running boards (not the predator step) if anybody is getting rock rails and wants to part with them. Ideally would like to pick up in the general LA area rather than ship.

    Missing “Tool Bag”

    It was there! I explicitly asked the dealership where to look, why didn’t they say this? Anyway, glad I found it. Thanks!

    Missing “Tool Bag”

    I was looking through the manual, and found that there should be a tool bag. Wasn’t in the little cubby door the manual said it should be, and I couldn’t find with the bottle jack, 12V battery compartment, glove box, or center console. Anybody found theirs somewhere weird? I called the dealer...

    Everyone benefits from questions, especially those too timid to ask. So it's your duty to fire them off!

    Got my 1958 Saturday, pretty excited!

    My initial reaction was as yours, "wow, what a monochromatic color lineup Toyota!". So originally I only wanted white, but like you, once I saw the Meteor Shower, it is a much nicer color that I realized. Somehow both silver-gray and at times more like a classic tan/brown color. It's really...

    Got my 1958 Saturday, pretty excited!

    Feels great to be back in a Toyota! I previously had a 2016 4Runner TRD Pro when I worked for Toyota, and have regretted not buying out that employee lease when I had the chance ever since. I've been driving a 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata, but with a wife and baby and doggo it just wasn't workable any...

    Anyone purchasing below MSRP?

    I got my 1958 $3k under MSRP, and didn’t pay for their $4,700 of dealer nonsense.

    Purchasing Process + Purchasing Advice

    Just wanted to mention I purchased my new Land Cruiser 1958 in the greater LA area today using the advice from the OP and I think we did pretty well! Asked my wife, the master negotiator, to read it on our way to dealer, and had already secured a spot on the waitlist at Anaheim, as well as a...
