Great suggestions, thank you. About our BMW, when taking foot of the brake, car just restarted and drove into the parked minivan in front of us in the line. That is why I would pay a small fortune to eradicate any start stop, so we can concentrate on traffic (not imaginary savings because there...
Picked up our LC last day of November, was not expecting great mileage (heavy body on frame truck) and enjoyed how nimble at traffic light during test drive. Now haven been on the highway and mixed use to break in, am very disappointed with lame highway driving, cannot keep up with traffic...
Yes, this is a “first year” of manufacturing, am fully expecting trouble with transmission (Tacoma) and hybrid system that needs to prove itself in use, so paid for 5 years bumper-to-bumper so that after year # all the gremlins get replaced without the usual Toyota denial till the warranty is up...
Appreciate all the suggestions and opinions, yet must admit that star stop is beyond maddening to us. Yesterday we were stopped in line for a traffic light, engine stopped, we looked at each other questioning if the car was stopped or dead? The display message came up to shift to park? We did...
Annoying yet mentions the elephant in the room. More like FJ cruiser, very underpowered, yet sleek retro styling. To me it is a restomod with warranty, just wish it had the old 2.7 naturally aspirated four with a manual tranny, that actually has some power and responsiveness and does not need a...
BMW 328 turbo diesel sport wagon, owned Mercedes E turbo diesel, Dodge Cummins, three 4Runners and a Tacoma. Like the vintage 1958 unique style that stands out, not impressed with turbo hybrid and questionable tranny, cannot keep up in traffic getting annoying with all that power on paper. Not...
We are new to the LC 1958, coming from BMWs with paddle shifters, and must admit to find the 2.4 turbo with mild hybrid to be, so weak and always in the wrong gear. Our BMW convertible has a 2.0 turbo, that is very alive and rev happy, yet the Toyota 2.4 turbo that on paper has double power/...
My wife simply refuses to drive the LC as long as it random starts and stops when driving, parking etc, because her BMW comes with a start/stop disable, and she really hates the LC clunky start stop. Myself I always drive with Tow/Haul on to not have to deal with random stops.
With hybrid am...
Apologies, new to the forum, and wondering if someone already found out how install an oil/condensation catch can in the 2024 LC?
Fact is modern engines, especially turbo engines, seem more likely to create sludge in the intake, and in a more advanced stage create carbon deposits on intake...
Living on Vancouver Island, Canada. Live on a hill and get a handful of times a foot of heavy wet snow, new LC 1958 should be good for that. Our older Dodge truck has Nokian Outpost all-season tires, our snow GOAT, sure wish Nokian Outpost came in 245/70R18. Mechanical engineer and worry about...
Hello, am new to this forum, and been around turbo engines forever. That Toyota engineer seems to give a sweet sounding answer that almost makes me want to go to sleep, yet seems to not consider Toyota's start/stop mechanism that shuts down the engine at every traffic light?
Fact is small...
