The LC LC and FE have heated mirrors as they have the heated icon on each mirror. My 2024 1958 does not have the icon and I know they do not get hot. One of my complaints about Toyota. Heck I had heated mirrors on my 2007 Corolla!
1958 folks.. regrets?

I’m really happy with my 1958, the base model is perfect for the back roads of Nevada. I’ve had a bunch of 4X4 Tacomas and the 1958 is definitely a step up.
They are heated, at least on mine. It is in the manual that the rear defroster turns on the heated mirrors and rear defroster. I have had my mirrors fog over and freeze and turning on the rear defogger cleared them right off.
Nah, his review is based on renting a car for a couple of hours, making no effort to understand how it works and then rationalizing that the vehicle he already owns is better (because don't we all?). All the drama queen, herky-jerky behavior he engages in comes from the ADAS which he clearly had no idea about (or at least didn't address in any detail)and because was probably tailgating in traffic so the LC was trying to brake-check him. If you accept that there has been some technological progress made since the GX-470 came out and make sensible adjustments to the system (car and driver) by either adjusting the sensitivity, turning it off or not driving like an a$$hole - in other words work with the car, not against it - it is a perfectly smooth ride, at least that's been my experience.
To be fair, most of us have probably already fine-tuned these various features to our liking, and they can be a little jarring at first if you're not used to driving a vehicle with TSS or other type of ADSS built-in.
But yeah, I agree...a lot of reviewers seem to go into these test drives determined to confirm their pre-disposed biases, as opposed to actually taking the time to get to know the vehicle from a fresh and open-minded perspective.
I found it interesting that on one of his live streams, "TRD JON" mentioned that the LC is currently his favorite "daily driver"...he's someone who has actually taken the time to drive one regularly, and while he's made some videos about various minor issues he's had, he obviously still enjoys it overall (and he has quite a few really cool Toyota trucks and SUVs at his disposal). He did say that while he's happy with the FE that he has, it doesn't think he'd buy that again, but would rather opt for a standard LC trim with no premium package, which I also found interesting.
Oh, and to answer OP, no...no significant regrets with the 1958.
No regrets. If I win lottery I might trade in for Bronco Raptor... just for the extreme fun factor even though it will blow the turbo's in 60k miles and end up in the shop every month like most Fords....
Just realized I never vouched for the 1958 in this thread. Love mine!
Motivated by the skinny highway tires because they're more fuel efficient, quieter and I like how they disguise this vehicle’s off-road capability. Something about all terrain tires that practically never see real off-roading doesn't sit right with me. These tires are serving their purpose. Also motivated by the retro cloth seats and round headlights.
