Assuming the 4R follows suit on the Tacoma pricing above it looks to be a better value than the LC similarly equipped. There used to be some definitive differences between the two. Now it appears the LC badge is very expensive.
So 250-series LandCruiser trim and Tacoma Trail Hunter are basically the same MSRP. But the Taco gets rock rails, lightbar, high air intake, scene lighting, ARB rear bumper, OME shocks, roof rack. Unless all the Trail Hunter goodies are not...
It’s from apex designs.
Yes for airing up tires…currently connected to a Viair constant duty compressor with a 2.5 gallon tank.
Used the apex design generic mount and a custom mount which attached the rear seatbelt mount on the pillar…
Except you made the assumption I live down in town. No, I’m not in Alaska but my subdivision roads are snow packed for approx 4 months of the year. The constant freeze thaw makes the roads worse than if it was always cold. I welcome more snow, it...
Infrequent snow? I'm on snowpack 4-5 months out the year plus storms.
Totally agree on give us all the options in the Cruiser as a way to set it appart from the 4R.
If you're crawling through snow drifts then he's correct. Part time will be on and there won't be much difference. However at highways speeds with sketchy traction where part time really isn't appropriate, full time is a significantly better solution
Having driven Toyota SUVs with full-time 4WD (4th Gen 4Runner Limited and 200 Series Land Cruiser) in New England for the past 20 years, I agree completely. I greatly prefer full-time 4WD over part-time.
Most of the at fault SUV accidents in my family would have been prevented with full-time 4wd. Until you live with it you can't really appreciate how amazing it is.
Dedicated snow tires for everything we own. Having a full time system is far more convenient as it’s always engaged. I’m constantly transitioning between snowpack, mixed, wet pavement and back no need to shift in and out of part time.
There has been, and will be more, comments about not being a real land cruiser. Some colleagues have made suggestions of getting a sticker... so, I took the initiative and started one. Not everyone needs to like it or comment, but some might...
For me, LC or GX all the way.
The more I look at the new 4rnr the more turned off I am by its loud in your face “look at me” appearance. To my eye the LC looks much more mature when compared to the 4rnr.
I’d personally go aftermarket for armor...
This is just like my opinion. I really love Land cruisers and what not. Feel free to disagree or hate it.
Ok with the release of the new 4runner yesterday i finally figured out why i dislike the LC250 so much.
The LC250 and new 4runner are on...
“The old V-8 and ancient five-speed automatic are long gone, hardly a surprise these days”
Small detail like that makes me question content/article creation methods if you know what I mean
