    4 banger LC, thoughts?

    Right, I never said Toyota doesn't know how to do hybrid well (they do), I'm just not that thrilled about it being in the Land Cruiser. I'm simply a meat and potatoes V8 guy. No replacement for displacement IMO. I get 21MPG highway with the big V8.

    That's a big deal to a lot of people. The big 350 V8 is my favorite part of my 200.

    4 banger LC, thoughts?

    Yes, I've driven several. I never said it was junk, I just don't want that in my Land Cruiser which is supposed to be a brick **** house, not a rolling example of what the government has forced Toyota to do to eek every ounce of gas out of a gallon, batteries and motors and all. It's very...

    Your ideal Land Cruiser really would come with a 4 cylinder engine? Really? No, it's an opinion. Have you ever heard a 4cylinder under load? The buzzy, coffee can roar of a 4 pot do it for ya? Because it doesn't for me. "Best" engine doesn't mean most desirable. The 2200 that went into the...

    I have heard that Diesels, modern ones, are very troublesome basically because of emissions bull****. That's a shame because they are insanely capable, the diesel HD work trucks. That said, I find it hilarious that the car mags are pushing the GM Diesel on their Yukon, etc. I'm so glad it gets...

    Gas will go right back down as soon as we get people back in office who don't hate fossil fuels. Maybe not $1.99 again, but significantly cheaper. And yes people will always buy big trucks, V8 GM trucks and SUVs they can't even keep on lots. I had to search for a Denali and it wasn't easy. And...

    Yes and there's 100% a demographic of American consumers that don't want an EV SUV, or hybrid, or downsized crap. I want NA V8. Why do you think GM still makes and sells them like hotcakes? They're not gonna stop anytime soon, either.

    People on TV do all the time. I had more but deleted it as I don't want to get too far into politics either and risk this thread, but the preceding sentence is accurate. Please refrain from name calling, I would appreciate it. I'm not on here to get nasty.

    You do realize roughly half the country doesn't want to own an EV, right?? We don't want all this new tech/tree hugging crap. EVs other than Teslas are collecting dust stacked on lots around here, and it's not just here. Not all of us bow down and accept orders from NBC and a senile president...

    LOL, wanna bet? It's cool you like this new engine setup but to me it's a Land Cruiser with panties on. At least share the v6tt from the GX, detune it, whatever. Just not a 4cylinder engine and hybrid. It may make all the green folks happy but it's not going to be a pleasant power plant like...

    Sales of NA V8s? There are zero NA V8s left (off the top of my head) except for domestic trucks and GM SUVs. Last time I checked they sell the hell out of those. Gasoline is going to be around forever, gas stations. In 10+ years people like me will still be driving my NA V8s while all this...

    This is a million percent spot on. You know at least half of these Toyota engineers are shaking their heads. Imagine the new V8 Toyota and Lexus would have right now if it weren't basically because of democrats. Also, lol a "sewing machine" is a compliment IMO, 4 cylinder is more like a...

    4 banger LC, thoughts?

    Do you have any idea how many people will want a NA V8 in ten, twenty years??? People reallllllllly don't think about this. And remember, 200s weren't expensive to rip people off. They were built up to a standard like olllllllld Mercedes, not down to a price by the bean counters.

    Land Cruiser vs. LX570

    Yeah I have a 2004 LS430 that's been garaged and babied since day one. It still drives like day one, just refuses to break or even begin to try to slow down. I've replaced a thermostat, LCA bushings, and a door lock actuator in 20 years. Would get in and drive it to Alaska and back tomorrow...

    200 and 250 are completely different animals.

    4 banger LC, thoughts?

    Why in god's name would it do that? If anything 200s are going to be even more valuable as time goes on. LX600s are weak sauce, they lost all kinds of weight and underbody protection for fuel economy. AHC protection which look literally as tough as jail bars are gone from the 300. 200 was...

    4 banger LC, thoughts?

    Lol yep. EPA and real world are two different things. I just had an F-150 rental for a week with Ecoboost, my fuel economy average when I turned it back in was 12MPG. Zero better than the GM 6.2 V8 here at home in the family. Maybe give or take a few tenths of a MPG. As you mention, who...

    Land Cruiser vs. LX570

    I don't think it's "lackluster', you still have semi-aniline leather (though not as nice as LX's semi aniline) and plenty of luxury. Me personally, I wanted the flagship Lexus truck for all the Lexus goodies. I love the LC name too but LX is one, and it's the best rebadge ever lol. I also...

    Land Cruiser vs. LX570

    My Lexus dealer told me they've only seen a handful of minor problems on 570s re: AHC, I specifically asked. Whether you want to admit it or just hate it so passionately or not, it's an amazing feat of engineering. Lol if you hate it so much, don't get an LX570. I like Land Cruisers but not...

    Land Cruiser vs. LX570

    Welp, Toyota dealer did mine 4 years ago at 80k before I even owned it. Zero issues, AHC is one of my favorite things. If you don't like it, fine. But many owners do. So how many people have received $35,000 quotes on a fix? LOL. Really?
