Hello everyone,
Looking to get into my first LC in the next 30-90 days (depending on if/when I can find the "one"), and I've searched this forum for annual maintenance costs, and I haven't quite been aggregated enough info on what operating one for about 5000-10000 miles annually. I have other vehicles, so this won't be a daily driver but a long-term off-road project SUV.
I know that 2016-2017 LC's have a few more issues (steering wheel trim and radiator) than the 2018+, but for my budget of 45-55K, I can't find any 2018s. Are cam tower leaks on the 5.7 still somewhat common on 2nd facelift models? And how often do brakes, tires, and other regular maintenance items typically last on these cars? It is surprising to me how little the Toyota maintenance calendar calls, especially compared to a 100 series, in the first 150K of life. I know a lot of fuel is required to operate these rigs but thankfully they do take 87.
And there are any other issues that I should be aware of? I'm just trying to get a ballpark on routine maintenance items and how often I should expect to replace them. Thank you in advance.
