Not really but I will point out that a manual transmission/tcase rig would normally provide options
Yup, you really are a troll. All you do is make up something that someone didn’t write and then criticize them for what you made up.

Time to add you to ignore.

Its always pretty funny when people try to label others that they dont agree with or post some other inconvenient fact

Curious question.
On my 300 I can lock the front diff separately without needing to lock the rear.
Is it the same for other land cruisers that had a front locker?
 
Isnt that 108 of 109 current pages of the thread?

The toyota's I've driven with factory diff locks have all been MT rigs, cant speak to any configurations other than that......and as some like to tease....I dont like vehicles that arent at least 3 decades new......

But yes, front and rear diff locks were independent mechanisms/controls....at least at one time....

All my 100s are manual transmissions.

Love a manual Cruiser. So much fun.

Yes.
 
I wish they kept the rotary switch.
It was half the fun of owning a locked rig.

Personally I prefer the cable locks but would take the rotary switch any day over a button on a haptic display of an infotainment system

Most of the vehicles I owned didn't have lockers.
In a way not being locked actually makes you a better driver. You tackle things more sensibly sometimes and recover with more skill.
Honestly lockers sometimes are just plain cheating lol and can make you overconfident but when you need them and they work you feel like it's the most important option.
 
If the US 250 LC
Comes with the twin 6
It'll be the best LC250 version I think globally.
No other market is getting a v6 Toyota LC 250 (not counting the GX550)
 
I don't think Toyota reached that level of tech yet.

On the LC300 - do they at least stay in the position you put them in if you turn the vehicle on and off? On my rear lockers they've always retained whatever position the button was in - but those were not momentary switches. The momentary buttons for things like ATRAC and MTS always reset if you turn it on/off. Same with the center diff lock on my RX, and pretty much everything on my Tundra like tow/haul other than the parking sensors and cross traffic stuff.

For lockers I'd much rather they stay as you put them when you turn on/off. I do think it's great you can lock them front, rear, center, or any combo!
 
That’s $20K below current 2023 LC Prado pricing in the EU ex VAT, a reasonable benchmark. I don’t see Toyota selling their new flagship product at a huge discount in the US. So the range is more likely to be $65-$75K and closer to $80K if there is a V6 TT version. And that already is a fab price for a fully featured LC if it turns out to be worth its salt.

Just in case your pricing guess is accurate, I am already looking into the formalities to ship a new LC back to Europe. I would rather buy a TRD Pro 4Runner as it is among the best looking SUVs I have ever seen and on a par with the FJ40 and FJ 60, but the 4Runner is not homologated in the EU so I can’t do it.

Brown98LC, what pricing are you seeing in the ME?
I'm in Kuwait and 2022 EXR's run about $35k, VXL's top out around $50K and why I feel that starting the 250 at a $60k base is too high. I however could see the GX base being 60k if they really want to differentiate between the LC and GX.

No matter how bad toyota wants to leverage the LC badge, the 150 series, and now the 250 seriers has never been and will never be anywhere close to a flagship.

The defender is a better mall cruiser for 60k
A triple locked bronco is a better off reader for 60k


like the current TRD Pro 4runner, and the top end Prado. The LC needs to top out at 60k.
