    GX550 & LC250 Tracking Thread

    I see the "USB charging package" has actually increased in price by $9! (That bs cost me $70), but it's not so insulting as the other crap I'm seeing on this spec sheet. So all these dealer/port-added tire upgrades (to Nittos, for example) only come with four tires (the spare remains an...

    Oh man, I need those steel wheels. Or maybe silver ones (my 1958 is Ice Cap).

    Do it. Picked up my white 1958 last week. I love it.

    Or does the LC250 make the LC300 look like a Sequoia?

    Media LC 250 & GX550 Picture Thread

    I'm genuinely not trying to pick any fights here, but I think for many (like myself), the appeal of the 250 is that it's simply the best looking Land Cruiser in decades. Obviously, this is subjective, but the way a truck looks matters, and for as much as these things are more than just an...

    LC250 Rock Rails?

    Thanks guys. Sounds like somebody's take-offs will suit my needs just fine.

    LC250 Rock Rails?

    Can anyone that's taken delivery of an LC250 with the OEM Rock Rails give me your take on their quality? My incoming 250 will not have these installed and already I'm seeing new owners looking to sell the ones that Toyota or their dealer installed (for whatever reason, maybe they don't need...

    Awesome stable! Lucky guy to get to keep all of these at the same time. My driveway (and wife) limits the number of vehicles I can plausibly collect. My IceCap 1958 is "in transit" and *should* arrive at the dealer any day. I imagine you'll be swapping those tires soon, but it's not like...

    GX550 & LC250 Tracking Thread

    Adding my details/updates to the thread in case it's helpful to the Hive Mind (aka "what else are we going to talk about while we wait?") -- 1958 Ice Cap supposed to be delivered end of May (those dates had been earlier in May) to dealership in Sacramento (Folsom Lake Toyota). No roof rack, no...

    GX550 & LC250 Tracking Thread

    While checking on the delivery status of my ice cap 1958 (still scheduled, same dates as before) I noticed some LCs are showing up on SmartPath at a local dealership with no markups (TSRP). Might be worth a call for guys who are striking out in Northern California...

    GX550 & LC250 Tracking Thread

    I'll be curious to hear folks' experience pushing back against dealers trying to slap on markups. I've reserved a 1958 (with no markup) but had my name on lots of lists. Yesterday, another dealer offered me a similarly specced 1958 but with a $14K markup (actually $13,995...). When I politely...

    This is probably going to be very unliked, but this is just like my opinion man. This is my issue with the LC250

    These 20" wheels they're slapping on the LC trim is a big own goal for Toyota and makes me think someone over there didn't get the marketing memo about who they're supposed to be appealing to for the LC (vs the GX, where 20" wheels on certain trims makes more sense considering that market).

    Thanks for the heads up! I'm steeling myself for a miserable day-of-purchase experience. How many times can I say "nope, next" without losing my good mood?
