Looking for a new Land Cruiser?

[Eric Sarjeant]

PSA:
If anyone's looking at getting a new MY2020 Land Cruiser, may want to act quickly. The entire US is only going to be allocated 10 for the month of July and 20 for the month of August. Needless to say, once dealers figure that out prices will increase. Come September we’ll see MY2021s with normal monthly allocations of around 300. Heritage is back for MY2021. No changes, same colors.

With that said.. looks like Lexus is running $5500 rebate (or) 0% x 60 on remaining 2020’s. That’s in my region at least (Chicago). Not a bad deal really. Still a solid $10k bump over Land Cruiser, unfortunately worth same shortly after purchase.

Thanks Eric! I gotta say; I really appreciate your presence on this forum. If i was near Indiana, I'd be buying from you!!


Now that I've buttered you up How would YOU upgrade the suspension on a 2020 Tundra Platinum (running the BBS TRD Pro wheels with 33" wild peaks or KO2. I'm looking for a descent on-road ride like the TRD Pro with a strong eye toward off-roading rough roads and forest service roads) Budget around $3000-$5000 installed. Level or very mild lift. I like the idea of adjustable damping (Kings? Ikons? Fox? etc) 85% on road/ 15% rough roads. No seriously challenging off roading--that's for the Land Crusher.

Appreciate the kindness. Honestly, I’m a big fan of the BP-51 on Tundra. It’s about $5k installed with the OME leaf springs. Great on road and off-road performance.

Thank you! I will look into it.

Sounds like Toyota USA is getting the short end of the land cruiser production stick. Obviously production has been affected by Covid 19. I would be interested to know if Australia and the Middle East, the two largest markets for 200, have had similar drastic cuts, I’m guessing no. Will be interesting to see what happens to prices here in Denver. Dealers asking MSRP for cruisers are having trucks sit for 6-7 months or longer. Dealers that offer a discount, like Eric, have stock move within weeks.
thanks for the update. Any new colors for 2021?..

No new colors for MY2021

From a Australian publication regarding 200 series production.
Looks like Toyota USA will not see any results of this.

Toyota LandCruiser 200 Series production ramps up — Drive

While the Japanese factory that produces the Toyota LandCruiser 200 Series did not close during the COVID-19 lockdowns, output was reportedly reduced by about 20 per cent.

Rich, that may line up correctly to US actually. Sept-Oct we will see about 300 coming into the US which is about 10-12% more than normal.
