Howdy from New England/ Eastern MA. I picked up our LC Trim a few weeks back and am really enjoying it! I traded in a ‘22 4Runner Off Road Premium with KDSS for it and was a worried if I was spoiled by the KDSS for on road handling. 2,200 miles in and I’m thrilled with the choice to go with this LC. I have a few gripes on the CarPlay integration and the Toyota user interface but when it comes to driving this thing, the power, the hybrid system, the handling, some light off-roading and playing with 4LO and the differentials, the swaybar disconnect, all of it, I love this thing!
First mods were to order the TRD wheels, some Cooper R&Ts (265/70 18) and center caps before the LC arrived. I installed the OEM skids last week, nice easy install with those, just wish a gas tank skid was offered as well.
I did a quick test fit for my DirtCom tire swing, seems like it should work fine but still need to fully bolt it on to be sure and won’t get to that until Sunday or soon after.
My Rhino Rack cross bars from the 4Runner seem to fit great. I installed my GFC Superlite on them last week for a shakedown run up to NH and everything worked great. Did some light trails to play with the 4 wheel drive bits and can’t wait to get the LC on more New England trails soon.
I’ll post a few more pics once she’s fully loaded for a trip to the North Maine Woods. The #1 thing to work on is a cargo platform for my fridge slide and for strapping down all the camping gear but probably won’t have time before this first camping trip.
Overall I’m thrilled with the LC, worth the wait, just hoping a software update improves my minor UI gripes but I’m a big fan no matter what.
