    Received my GX550 Allocation

    On the build sheets: FIO - factory installed options PIO - port installed options Been told by a member that there are already 550s rolling around in Austin. Our dealers are expecting 14 a month (find the previous thread on what is being prioritized and how many). I believe premium+, luxury...

    Looks like they will be hitting the lots next month for you folks in the CenTex/Gulf Coast region! Build sheets are fully loaded!

    GX550 & LC250 Tracking Thread

    Sounds like the exact same play they used for the LF-A when it first came out...lease only. This is a seriously ****ed up market!

    GX550 & LC250 Tracking Thread

    Holy crap...that's insane! I'm hoping to get my hand on some physical build sheets in the next few days, but I've been informed that these are completely loaded with almost every option realistically possible. So, I'm guessing anywhere from 5-10k+ of options? Is it too late to rethink the LX...

    GX550 & LC250 Tracking Thread

    Lucky you! What dealer did you go through? With two Lexus dealerships (odd we have two for such a small city), they have their build sheets but no firm conformations on allocations :(

    Toyota Quoting Only 23 MPG on 250 Series

    If we are talking only the Torsen system, yes..it is designed to send power to both front and back with a rear-wheel bias (i.e., acting as a rear-wheel drive vehicle). Yes, I am aware of how the mechanical gears work..I posted a detailed explanation many threads ago. The bias part was uncertain...

    Toyota Quoting Only 23 MPG on 250 Series

    First, the EPA comment was made to keep things comparable...there were arguments made using MPG from very different time periods. If you took that as a personal attack...I got nothing. Second, I'm pretty sure I know how Torsens work..btw, never said it was clutch-based (I was very careful NOT...

    Toyota Quoting Only 23 MPG on 250 Series

    I want to add a bit to my original post that was a bit cheekish...apologies if that offended anyone. It's Friday! One could argue that the part-time system has really crappy gas mileage compared to the full-time 4wd system (the counter argument being made)! The limited has a very advanced...

    Reliability called into question

    Yes, I think @Corbet meant hold...there appears to be several recalls and holds being announced from Toyota (GM has a very big one on immediate stop sales for the Canyon because of a major software issue...yikes)

    Toyota Quoting Only 23 MPG on 250 Series

    Now add in GVW into both trims...just stating the trims is not enough. Your comparison doesn't make sense to me...both systems have either a transfer cases or Torsen system that adds weight, and they both add parasitic drag to the main drive line. I think the difference you are quoting above...

    Toyota Quoting Only 23 MPG on 250 Series

    Also, make sure you capture the way the EPA requires MPG to be calculated...they change often enough that is is NOT a fair comparison.

    Toyota Quoting Only 23 MPG on 250 Series

    I think you have it wrong...you originally made the statement that AWD does NOT impact MPG. The burden is on you to prove that statement.

    Land Cruiser Pricing Announced

    Why stop there...might as well throw a HILUX next to the PRADO to really amp the trigger factor?

    GX550 & LC250 Tracking Thread

    Nice! can you share the spec sheet for the OT+? Gives us an idea on how much crap they're adding to the base..I can only imagine it have everything and then some.

    Land Cruiser Pricing Announced

    I feel bad for @OGBeno...he's probably like where the hell did this go sooo wrong. Additionally, he's reflecting back on his life for that one pivotal incident that led him to this moment with us degenerates!
