Modern diesels suck. Gasser HD motors are still pretty good and nearly as durable as a 3UR.
You've clearly never driven a Cummins 6.7
Heck, VW's diesels were fantastic until the emmissions cheating scandal
Had a 2015 sportwagon that got mid 40's mileage all day every day with power that shamed gassers
I've put money down on the last of the G5 4R's and will put my 2019 G5 4R up for sale after I take delivery.....its as close as I can get to ideal daily driver without a diesel and MT avail.....its pretty much bomb proof reliable, easy to maintain and parts are plentiful and reasonably priced.
A 4R with something like a 2.8 turbo diesel would get nearly 30MPG all day/every day and be simple to maintain
Its tragic that the UK is getting a diesel 250 while the US gets the AWD prius version
Are you having to wait for a 24 4runner? Dealers in my area are pretty stacked
Lotta money for an "old" vehicle. To each his own though
Not the Cummins 6.7, but the several of the pre-2007.5 24V 5.9s (great motor) and new 6.7 PSD (overly-complicated POS - 10,000 miles on the odometer and I had to disconnect the battery to get the fuel/water separator to reset after a drain). The power/torque/MPG is certainly good, reliability and easy-of-service is not. I've also been stuck on the side of the road on commercial diesels when they started cutting power due to a loose emissions control sensor connector.You've clearly never driven a Cummins 6.7

While the Cummins may be great, unfortunately it's bolted in a low-quality Stellantis-built truck.
My personal diesel is a 24-hp, non-electronic, Japanese-built Yanmar that is small enough to be exempted from EPA emissions regulations. It uses very little fuel and will probably last 30+ years with normal maintenance.
I currently have an 80, 100 (470) & 200 amongst others.Anyone here own a 80/100/200 series as well as the 250?
Very curious about owners of multiple LCs and their impression of new vs old…
I think they really missed the mark with this 250
Yes it was a 1958 version.Since you say "seat fabric," I'm assuming you sat in a 1958.
Shouldn't be a shock that a 1958 isn't a luxury car, like the rest of your Land Cruisers were. It's intentionally not one.
It's not comparable to a 60/62 interior at all.They actually hit the mark bullseye. They were aiming to bring Landcruiser back to its roots, (think FJ62/60) and nailed it as far as the interior is concerned
I have a 2022 Tundra that the engine failed at 45K. I was given a RAV4 as a replacement for a month.One big help would be making sure they can provide trucks as loaners or figure out how to have fully dressed long-block replacement engines in stock. Even if they're reman engines. Having them ready to swap would go a long way toward making it an in and out process instead of a week or two at the dealer. If I have to drive a rav4 - I'm left without the utility that I need from having a truck. I tow and haul regularly with my truck and I'd have to go rent a truck if the dealer had mine for an extended period. I can get by for a day or two. I can't for a week or two without renting one. If my Lexus is in for warranty - Lexus will give me the same vehicle as a loaner. Toyota should be doing the same. They can't sell the Tundras they have anyway, might as well use them.
That's incredibly frustrating. If you wanted a rav4 - you would have bought a rav4. IMO Toyota should at least be extending a full warranty on the engine to 10 years and 150k miles like they do for the EV batteries. Toyota says the trucks are expected to have a 30% longer service life than the cars, so maybe a bit more.I have a 2022 Tundra that the engine failed at 45K.

I now have an expensive vehicle that had a new short block and everything replaced by an unknown mechanic at my local dealership. I had other complaints about the vehicle that essentially had no response from Toyota.
Until now I have loved all my Toyota vehicles. This has given me real concerns and on my Montana trip this fall, this vehicle (if I still have it) will stay at home and my 1994 LC or my LX570 will go. A sad state of affairs.
Bought 1995 80 new and had to have head gasket replaced under warranty the first year I had it. Still running 29 years later. Put money down for new 250.Anyone here own a 80/100/200 series as well as the 250?
