This. I saw the same conflicting reports and decided to bite (maybe that's the bourbon talking). Regarding the transit connect vans - that's true and has nothing to do with the SUV aspect. They crux of that issue is that they're importing passenger vans with the intent of them becoming...

For what it’s worth the chicken tax doesn’t/wouldn’t apply to the 200 and 300 LCs (unless it was offered in some “cargo” configuration). It only applies to light trucks and cargo vehicles. The LC sees the same import tariff that the 4Runner sees (between 2.5% and 4% which is pretty low for the...

This isn’t what you asked for but make sure you verify/work into the sale the state of the HVAC recirc door. I bought my 2019 from their Eugene location (I live in Bend); and had that item worked into my sale. If I had not, the service advisor at Kendall Bend told me he wouldn’t have warrantied...

I buy tire certs (warranty) at discount tire every single time. The lava rock here can shred tires and their replacement policy has more than paid for the cost of the certs and sometimes the whole set of tires over time for me. OA

I installed AT3 in the stock size a couple of weeks ago. Discount tire had them available in less than a week. OA

Ordered and received. Awesome product @bhicks! OA

Received and installed the bh3d printing cupholder (BH3D Printing - http://www.bh3dprinting.com) @bhicks . Fit is excellent and it's 1000x more useful than the pos that came factory (though I can no longer fit bottles of bourbon there...). I ordered two different types, the individual...

@camino70 the rest of the group here seems way more with it than I've been on diagnosing faults like these. The only different perspective I would have to offer is to ask if this vehicle is garage parked or if it lives outdoors or in a detached building. You may have rodent/squirrel damage...

Yep I used a calculator based on CPI. Definitely agree with your points but I have no desire to do the research. My only caveat is moving it to today dollars was a way to take the inflation piece out of the equation (which is a large chunk of the delta). For the sake of this discussion we can...

I took the time to make this data relevant and adjusted everything for today’s dollars... (didn’t check msrp) and obviously we used different calcs to get here. 1st year 80 series - $47,009 Last year 80 series - $67,128 1st year 100 series - $73,740 Last year 100 series - $70,921 1st year 200...

I wish I had more opportunity to try other dealers but we have one in my area and the rest are minimum 2.5 hours away (and subject to the passes being open to traffic this time of year). I was somewhat shocked at the advisor’s “decision” but knowing that it was getting paid for one way or...

Truck is in my possession and I only drove it for 15 min yesterday. It’s my wife’s daily so she’ll have a better idea at this point. I did go over the dash, seats and headliner (they always get s*** on the headliner somehow) and everything seemed to be in good shape. No additional rattles or...

Just wanted to post my experience here. I purchased a used 2019 (24k miles) with full service records in January ‘21. The LC is still under 3yr/36k factory warranty. I had been shopping 2016+ 200s for a few months prior and have been lurking here as a result. Thanks to this thread I knew to...

Awesome. Thanks for the correction! OA

@gaijin I think I'm messing up my understanding of the load inflation calcs and could use some assistance... I have a 2019 stock LC 200. I got rid of the factory Dunlops, (285/60/r18, 116V; I believe this to be the factory size, but I didn't take a pic of the tire before disposing) and replaced...
