The 1958 edition comes with smaller tires, is it safe to assume it has different transmission gearing?
if so, would mean it’s not plug and play to go to stock Land Cruiser trim tires?
Smaller size to cut cost doesn’t hold water either. Tire Rack price on the Geolander 245/70/18 on the 1958 is $258/tire. Same tire in the 265/70/18 size on the LC edition price is $237/tire. Go figure.
Expensive for you to purchase at retail or for Toyota global sourcing to purchase?I firmly believe this is BS. The Geolander X-CV is a very expensive AS tire costing more than many larger off road tires. It has a 50,000 mile tread wear warranty, is very highly rated and quiet as as well. To state that it was put on the 1958 to keep the MSRP down is, IMHO, ludicrous.
In the USA market. Globally its probably around 200k, 350k if you include the 4Runner that is basically the same vehicle built on the same production line. It's not Corolla volume, but more than Tundra. Probably about the same as Camry global sales. It's also about half as expensive in other markets, so I'm sure it'll sell in higher volumes where it's less expensive.LC 250 is not a volume product by Totota standards. They are projecting 30k/yr
