Called Decatur to see if there was any talk about a March '23 sale. They seemed to think end of April or beginning of May.

Anyone know if the March sale is annual?

What are you going with instead?

So where does this thing hammer?

Heh. You squeezed out a solid paragraph for not being worth mentioning. But, yeah, that's why I referenced normal Land Cruiser. It would have to be something special. Some of the other information about production numbers and equivalents isn't quite right but it doesn't sound like any of that...

Some vehicles less than 25 years old can be imported into the US but it's unlikely any of those criteria apply to a normal Land Cruiser.

Has anyone found an OEM Toyota key glove that fits the newest Land Cruiser key fob? Key gloves are not listed on the Land Cruiser Accessories page on the Toyota website so I was hoping a key glove from another model that uses the same key fob was available (Camry, Venza, etc). Cannot find...

Infrastructure for gas and diesel fueled vehicles was also lacking at some point in the past. Clearly, that was solved.

Pup looks excited to be on the road. Nice pic.

Is the paint cracking or is it a scratch or chip? The better touch-up pens include paint, clear coat, and have an abrasive tip on one end that is used like a pencil eraser to smooth out the defect and remove any oxidation. If it's a scratch or chip that's the route I would go.

Not an enviable position. Good luck with whichever route you go.

Did the dealership suggest the engine was not maintained properly or take a guess at any cause, or did they just shrug and act like these things can happen? I get Toyota owes nothing outside the warranty period but $1k in good will on a $17k bill to fix a $70k truck famous for reliability...

It would be interesting to know more about the history and use of the vehicle: prior maintenance, current condition, detailed findings from the diagnosis and thoughts on what caused failure, and Toyota's reason(s) for zero good will on a premium product with lowish mileage.

The current LX has all speed cruise but even the LC never got it. I was under the impression brake hold and all speed cruise were typically tied into the electronic parking brake but maybe it's all ABS.
