Breaking News - Only Admins may use this prefix.
Looks like the only amendments to the '25 builds are:

(1) Heritage Blue is offered with or without grayscape;
(2) A "Rear Bumper Guard" is an inexpensive option and not defined as to what it actually is at this time;
(3) There is an option for LED lights in the rear hatch door which were offered on the FE, however, unknown if offered on any other trim; and
(4) The MSRP has increased $500.
Plus the new rear diff skid plate option.

One of the press reports claimed there are some updates to the safety systems?
 
Was hoping for a lighter interior option. As much as I love the mechanicals and form factor on the LC, I can't get interested in the super dark interior. It feels like a small cave compared to my Highlander which is gray. The Java is only a seat treatment and rarely ordered by dealers.

If Toyota would lighten up the headliner and add some lighter accents on the doors the black would be tolerable. I seem to be in a minority not liking black on a vehicle. Current fashion seems to be trending toward more black. Not helpful.

I used to not agree but after adding very dark tint I do kinda wish it was like 30% lighter and gray/slate in there.

The black leather with the Premium Pkg is not too dark in the flesh. It almost has a grayish hue to it. And the white/light gray stitching throughout the interior looks very upscale/sporty over black.

Tan / saddle / light interiors are sharp on the showroom floor, however, they start looking dirty and rough no matter how much you care for them. I made the mistake of buying a new Range Rover Sport Supercharged with nearly white leather and piano black wood. It was very elegant looking when brand new--no color looked better.
However, after 5k miles or less, the driver's seat was more blue from jean transfer, despite the special Range Rover cleaner I religiously used.

Java is fine. I have redwood in my 4Runner Limited. Not really my favorite color.

Light headliners are a no go for me. They get dirty by default and every time you bring it in for service, inevitably, there will be a mysterious grease streak/grease handprint on the headliner when you get it back.
 
I'm really glad that there's no big changes in the color selection. I was gonna have alot of buyers remorse if they offered lunar rock as a option.

Agree that the black leather looks not really black and I could get used to it. However I prefer off white, grey or beige colors and bright color accents.
I never had the problem with color transfer as I always use seat towels the color match anyway. It's a utility vehicle, so seat towels are a must and should be used in any car.
I also always try to get light headliners and never hade the problem with dirt streaks or prints on it. But I can see the problem. I while ago I saw a post in a different forum where a dog owner had a dog with a small bleeding cut on its nose in the car with a light headliner and you can imagine how that ended...........ugh.
 
there’s a “bumper protector” option now too, any idea what this is? I see the cargo lights are “package” options and not standard or accessories, I think they are a factory add and not something the dealer can add or DIY easily based on this. I’m surprised to see the 1958 stick around, I stand corrected as I thought it would go away being a special edition.

1958 should’ve been called 1959

A few posts back in this thread:

Maybe that little luggage / tail gate protector that came with first editions?


Both that and the lights were previously only available on the first edition.
