    The 360 Birds Eye camera system was standard on USA Land Cruisers 2016 and newer.

    91 Octane Requirement

    Interesting that some states have ethanol free 91 octane. Here in Florida 91 -93 octane premium is 10% ethanol. There is ethanol free gas available at a few locations but it is substantially more expensive (like an extra dollar per gallon) and is generally there for use in boats, where the...

    Your Thoughts on the LC 250?

    Paris spot looks great. I don’t think anecdotal evidence of Range Rovers driving by in an expensive neighborhood in an expensive city refutes the fact that big wide gas guzzling SUV’s are less popular in Europe than in other parts of the world. Regardless, my main point is that what we get...

    Your Thoughts on the LC 250?

    The USA imposes the “chicken tax” on pickups and SUV’s imported from overseas, which is why Sequoia and Tundra are made here, and aren’t sold globally. So we get Sequoia instead of LC300. I believe Range Rover buys mileage credits to meet fleet mileage requirements. So all of their vehicles...

    Your Thoughts on the LC 250?

    Lots of gripes at Toyota for not bringing full lineup of 300 series LC’s etc. Many here seem to believe these decisions are based on demand and what we want. That is only part of the story, maybe a small part. US Government mileage standards are the main reason other markets get stuff we...

    200 Series Tire and Wheel Size Database

    Yes. Gaijin already answered that question in detail above. LC200’s come with SL rated tires all over the world. Heavier load LT rated tires are not required up to the full load carrying and towing capacity of the vehicle. Those who select LT rated tires usually do so for the thicker...

    Not liking the BFG KO2s

    Why go back to 20” wheels if you now own 18”? The bigger sidewall will help the ride if you need to run LT rated tires. As others have mentioned you are way low at 38 psi for LT275/70r18; per the link above, recommended pressure is 45 Psi. If you are planning to buy new Michelins, then note...

    Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser

    Interesting. I’m curious if you see a temp difference with ETC PWR engaged when not trailering? I run ETC PWR all the time, whether trailering or not…I prefer the shift characteristics. But mine is a stock truck on P rated tires. My towing is a 5k boat & trailer. I assumed I was doing the...

    Talk me into buying a 200 series

    No way I’m spending 90k on any Land Cruiser. A one or two owner well maintained clean Carfax from non salt states is what you want. I don’t know what the correct price is but there are websites to guide you on pricing. I agree that miles are less important than condition. I’m over 80k and...

    Talk me into buying a 200 series

    Couple of additional thoughts: 1.) I have recommended the Sequoia based on size but I totally get your preference for the LC, I felt the same way and bought the LC. They are cooler, nicer, more overbuilt etc. If the size & storage space isn’t an issue, go for it. I like the smaller size of...

    Talk me into buying a 200 series

    ^this. Terrible third row, a step back in 4WD function, less room and storage. Between the new Sequoia and a 200LC, the latter is better. The second gen Sequoia, on the other hand, has advantages for a growing family.

    Talk me into buying a 200 series

    I own a 2016 Land Cruiser and I cross shopped the Sequoia when I bought in 2018. I didn’t need or want the size of the Sequoia with kids off at college, but at your stage the Sequoia would have been my choice. The second generation Sequoia is a fantastic vehicle. Get a 2018 or later, they...

    Update: 5W-30 & Heavier Recommended RoTW

    Lots of fuel dilution on outboards because they’re raw water cooled, and as such they run cooler when the water is cold. So they run on thicker oil to compensate for the potential fuel dilution. I wouldn’t run thinner oil in the boats especially if you idle a lot as they don’t get up to temps...

    Auxiliary 8 gallon fuel tank

    All of which is being driven by fleet mileage requirements. Less gas in government tests =minute improvement in mileage. Thank your government.

    So I think the Michelin Defender is the perfect all-terrain tire... (For most of us)

    Assuming stock suspension and wheels, then 275/70r18 or 286/65r18 will fit without modification. Some brands will rub slightly against plastics at full lock but these sizes generally aren’t a problem. Larger sizes will fit with modifications and/or suspension changes.

    I think that’s a typo. That is the 285/65r18.

    So I think the Michelin Defender is the perfect all-terrain tire... (For most of us)

    Tire rack has a comparison report between the Michelin Defender LTX M/S and the Defender LTX M/S2: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/testDisplay.jsp?ttid=325 Minor improvement in wet braking & handling but otherwise pretty much the same. I noticed Tire Rack is showing the M/S2 in XL rated...

    265/70/18 on a 2020 LC?

    275/65r18 is a very common size for the 200 series. I have Michelin Defender LTX M/S in 275/65r18 (SL) and they have been great. If you just want bigger than stock, 285/65r18 is another common size for the 200 , although it’s certainly not “tall & skinny”. Most 285/65r18 are LT-E rated, but...

    265/70/18 on a 2020 LC?

    I don’t have first hand experience with 265/70r18 but I feel certain it will not rub. Tire calculators put that at 32.6” diameter. Most 275/70r18’s don’t rub and they’re taller and wider. Most 285/65r18’s don’t rub and they are similar diameter and wider. I would be stunned if they rub.

    265/70/18 on a 2020 LC?

    There is nothing wrong with 265/70r18 on a 200 Land Cruiser. It is stock size on the 300 Land Cruiser and the Sequoia, and up to one ton trucks as mentioned. There is not a huge weight difference between a 200 and 300LC. Braking distance and handling will be far worse in LT275/70r18 than...
