I'm trying to imagine what the Fuel Economy on the Land Cruiser will be when it launches. I've seen the screenshots from the Toyota site showing the 27 MPG estimated (before they removed it).
For comparison, I'm looking at a window sticker for the 2024 Toyota Tacoma with a similar powertrain.
Here are the specs:
TACOMA SR5 4X4 DOUBLE CAB
MECHANICAL & PERFORMANCE
FUEL ECONOMY AND ENVIRONMENT
21 MPG Combined
24 MPG Highway
19 MPG City
So here's my question... Is it reasonable to think that LC will get 27 MPG combined? It seems like a stretch that it would pick up an additional 6 MPG over the Tacoma, considering the powertrain is similar and the Tacoma is possibly more aerodynamic.
My guess is that the LC will end up with specs that match the Tacoma.... 21 MPG combined.
Thoughts?
