These huge screens are an option for new LC's sold in the UAE... at first sight it looks stolen from Tesla :-). Its really huge and impressive looking.

There is no difference in build quality from the one sold in other country; the quality is excellent... they are WW build in the same factory. Some parts, are locally added with Toyota approved accessories (Like navigation etc). I guess the reason why LC's in UAE are priced so well is because...

The LC's with Xtreme upgrade that I have seen in the showroom where all EXR (so without AHC/AVS, but with KDSS); no idea if they can apply the upgrade to the VXR with AHC/AVC. Next time I am in the showroom, I will ask.

In the UAE all LC's have KDSS (at least EXR, GXR and VXR). They can be ordered with the V6, and 2 different V8 versions. No AHC as far I know. Technically all grades are identical. Only trim and options are different between the versions. Toyota UAE has a good spec sheet of the differences that...

Toyota UAE stopped selling the Sequoia some time ago, it was not selling. This while the much more expensive LC is still selling like hot bread.

I am not sure if appropriate in this tread, but I need to release myself.... My 2015 200 5.7 EXR in Dubai is a perfect vehicle! After 30 years of Fords in this region, I moved 3 years ago to a brand new 200, and know now how a SUV should drive... no rattles and defects from the day you buy it...

It remains interesting that Toyota for 2 different regions specifies different engine oil specs, for identical engines. I think the thicker xxW-30 may provide better protection in the extreme usage vs -20. 0/vs 10 is only affecting during staring and warm up period. I suspect Toyota has taken...

Quote: I'm guessing the temperature range is moderately different in dubai than in Wisconsin. These specs are also valid for the northern parts of this region with various climates, extreme hot, to extreme cold. I think the engine oil spec in the US is different, due to fuel economy...

Engine oil specs seems to be different here in Dubai: 5W-30 & 10W-30 for the 3UR-FE 5.7 LC200 (2015) sold in the UAE. For the 1UR-FE (2015):

My wife drives a "17 Rav 4 and we have a 17" Fortuner as Family car.

I will raise it with my next service in any case; its minor, but its an imperfection. I bought the truck new, have a 5 years unlimited mileage warranty, and go a 5 years service contract... better use it to full extend.

Congrats!!! Very nice truck!

Agreed, I have the same opinion. For the rest the truck is exceptional smooth and quiet. At start up it needs a little time to settle when it comes to noise, but once it reached operating temp it is very quiet. The part that I like most from my daily experience is the exceptional quality feel...

I have also in my '15 5.7 a minor vibration in the steering wheel under acceleration; it actually feels more like some mechanical roughness / resonance from the engine at about 1500/1700rpm. Before and after the rpm its exceptional smooth. Passengers do not feel it, its for them totally smooth...
