shiFting… got it.

Have you reviewed the manual regarding turning those features off? I do believe most of them can be. I don’t disagree that they can occasionally be a bit annoying. For now, I have decide to leave them on and see if I get used to them. If they save me from 1 fender bender, I will be glad I did.

My wife also has a 5th generation 4runner (SR5 premium); we like it, but I certainly think that my base 1958 model is an upgrade over it... much less a higher level LC trim 🤷🏻‍♂️

Be aware that warm light brings out the brown / bronze undertones in the meteor shower color. It looks beautiful at all times of day. I personally love the warmth in the color… I also have a beige FJ80… but worth mentioning in case you might think of that differently.

Yes - it was advertised that way by the dealer too. So, actually - I lied, I just pulled out the window sticker and it says meteor shower. I definitely saw brown sugar printed on something I received though at some point along the way though. “Sugar” is now the nickname I have bestowed upon her.

250 I bought in Chicago area said brown sugar on the window sticker.

I think this is spot on. I think one’s opinion on 250 might depend on if you think this rig should be a luxury utility vehicle, or a capable luxury vehicle… if that makes sense.

Not exactly what you are asking for, but this is also on my mind and I did 2 things. 1) I applied 303 Fabric Guard to the cloth. To prevent overspray, I sprayed the 303 onto a microfiber cloth or applicator and wiped it on from there. 2) I found some towels on Amazon that are a convenient size...

I’ve had my 1958 LC for about a month, and I am quite smitten with it. For reference, I have a ‘91 FJ80 that had been my daily driver for the last ten years. I still love the 80, but the aches and pains of dealing with 33 year old car issues started to wear on me for daily use, so it is being...

To be a little fair to dealers… it appears to be Gulf States Toyota that needs to pound sand.

I wanted to say thanks for the advice on here. I have a 1958 on it’s way from Naperville Toyota in Chicago right now with @Riverrunner. After shipping, I am saving about 6k compared to what I could find here in Texas with a bunch of bloated add-ons I didn’t want. The process was pretty...

Is the badge just attached with adhesive? Did you just pry it off, and was the paint spared underneath it?

I have agreed in principal (with a 1K refundable deposit) some months ago to a deal at MSRP with no dealer add-ons… but the sale has not been completed, so holding my breath that they don’t change it on me.

Does anyone know where to find information on the glass specifications as installed factory by Toyota? I don’t have any use for putting on a window film for privacy reasons. However, we park our vehicles outside and I would interested to learn if there is a meaningful benefit to adding a film...
