First thing on my list to do! Yeah, love the wheels. Good price point and I like the utilitarian “steelies” look.

What is your complete roof rack setup? I love it. And how noisy is it...I know they all are...
It's a prinsu and is totally silent

Into the Woods. Happy Tuesday!
Best color ever made.
Sweet bumper set-up and wheels! Love to see a Cruiser in the City. Are those headlights factory for 2014? If aftermarket, are you happy with them? Link?
lol Eco Mode and monitoring MPGs
Thanks! They are factory! 2013-2015 got a mild facelift from v1 of the 200.
Let me sincerely apologize to you for getting to know my 2 week old unit and monitoring things and also thank you bc I had no idea it was in eco mode. With more throttle the light pops off so it seemed more of a hey go easy on the pedal reminder vs a drive mode. Is it lazier shift points or actually down on power in eco?
Thank you for the passive aggressive lesson!

The Eco light on the dash simply means your throttle input is very low there is very low load on the the engine so you are optimizing fuel efficiency. On some toyota engines, it indicates a pseudo-atkinson cycle mode with modified valve timing that further optimizes efficiency. This is all in the background and not controllable by the driver except by being very easy on the throttle. I don't think the 3UR has this atkinson cycle type of design.
On the LX switching to ECO in the drive modes dulls throttle response and seems to give lazier shift points but doesn't actually change power output otherwise. I'm not sure if there is an ECO switch in the LC. One useful option I did find after moving from the 40 and 120 series forums to the 200 series is the "ignore" button since there seems to be a lot more passive-aggressive and not-so-passive-aggressive participants here than other places on mud.

There is an eco switch on the LC200 2016+. It's in the settings, but like you said it just indicates light throttle. It's meaningless and can be disabled.
Masochist LOL
I smashed that ECT PWR button the day I bought my truck and never looked back. Then added the pedal commander just to ensure that I'm burning as much fuel as humanly possible.
my LC has an ECT?
I have never taken it over 2500 rpm.
You sure it wont hurt the truck?
Bought my ‘13 LX with 150k miles. Drive it like I stole it- 7k miles so far and smooth as butter.
What are mpgs?
