Thank you! Weirdly, Welcome to the Jungle is usually the first song played on the way home whenever I buy a new ride.

It's been a fav of mine for many years!
Hello everyone! First time Land Cruiser Prado owner here. I've waited 20 years to get an LC Prado and this 2025 model is definitely nice!
I'm from the Philippines and we only get the 2.4L Gasoline Turbo Engine variant. I got the Attitude Black Mica or Black Metallic. I've put only 770kms since purchasing it and still looking for the chance to take it on longer drives. Encountered some issues already but hopefully it will be resolved. Glad to be part of the Land Cruiser Forum.

Live in Omaha, NE and a new LC 250 (1958) owner! I've always been a Toyota guy and have driven Tundras for the past 25 years! Took one look at the new LC 250 and after a test drive, decided this was the vehicle for me! This pic is as I bought it, but I've already put BFG KO3s, tinted the 2 front windows, orders CBI rock sliders and installed the illuminated door sills!!! Looking forward to many more mods to this vehicle in the near future.
Grew up around a BJ40, a BJ70 and a few LJ70s - the original "Land Cruiser II Prado". Spent the better part of the last 20 years daily driving a KZN130.
Don't have a 250 yet, but I have mine coming within 2 weeks (hopefully). White (089) 7 seater (chestnut interior) Adventure with the mild 48v 1GD (diesel).
Loved the test drive, felt surprisingly nimble for what it is- somewhat disappointed with the ventilated seats certainly not on par with a Mazda or a Hyundai, "stowed" third row arrangement is a quite a joke, but that'll make room for drawers sooner rather than later!
Already planning a roof rack delete and getting bonnet struts...

Greetings! New member, just picked up the 2025 1958 Edition, and it's the first LC I've been in since my 1998 was totaled several years ago. Looking forward to learning all about this new model and interacting with others on here. Cheers
Thanks!
Hi all!
Well, I am one of those guys who has owned Jeeps his entire life (too many to count it seems like), but in the early 90s I did own a sweet little 82 4Runner and always dreamed of one day owning a Landcruiser. So, at Christmas my local dealer got an executive used Toyota owned 24 1st Edition in with 700 miles on it. I snapped it up. Meteor Shower.
Just put in a deposit yesterday with my local shop to add a Dobinson 2.5/.5 lift with UCAs, strut plates and panhard rod, some Icon Recon SLX 18" wheels, Falken Wildpeak AT4Ws in 285/65, and a Rago center mount front bumper insert with Rigid lightbar and Warn winch. Pretty mild stuff but should add some great overlanding capability to the LC. Thing drives like a dream so I am hoping to retain as much of the factory charm as possible and not go to wild. I'll show some pics in 6-8 weeks after the parts come in and the work is complete. Very excited!

Hello all. Bought a 24 FE last summer and just now stumbling onto this forum. Currently sitting stock, but looking to do some minor upgrades this year. Love looking at everyones builds. Happy to be here!
Greetings all-
Wife and I just received our 2025 LC yesterday and are excited to learn all about our new vehicle capabilities. We enjoy getting off the beaten path and away from the city so this hopefully meets our expectations.
Gonna drive as-is for now but looking forward to adding some lift, larger tires, skid plates, bumpers, and getting rid of the plastic running boards and replacing with proper rock slides.
Looking forward to comments and suggestions!

Hi All.
Toronto Canada here. Just over a month into my LC Premium in heritage blue.
Hesitated in joining because my buying timeline might make people upset. Started shopping just before the New Year, took delivery within a week. Dealer had just gotten one they planned to use it for test drives. Just as I was about to put down a deposit on a factory order, manager comes over and asks if I wanted what I test drove. Hmm. Wait 8+ months or essentially drive away with one exactly as I wanted... (10 km on it - I was the first test drive).
Just got to play in some snow today before my employer had the parking lot plowed. Fun.
Only peeve so far is the lack of reachable storage - sunglasses etc.
