It did and mine was a 2021. It feels the same to 60mph in the seat between the two. I have also towed a motorcycle trailer behind the new cruiser and I didn't even know it was there. Not a great towing test yet. My truck also had a 35 gallon gas tank which I do miss which would give me about 500+ mile range. I am now half that range in the landcruiser (my biggest complaint avg 275 mile range).

My Sequoia is somewhere in the 250-300 mile range, so not too much of a change there for me. I like to get out and stretch my legs every few hours, so that’s not a deal breaker in my case.

Keep in mind, 469lb-ft is "peak" torque... which happens around 1700 rpm. From there is just goes down to ~280 lb-ft at 6k rpm. Compared to the 5.7L Hemi which has a more flat torque curve more like the one shown (look at the curve, not the numbers). It might feel similar around town but once you jump on the gas, it won't be the same. Ram Rebel will reach 60mph ~50% faster.
Last few tanks were about 275 miles (refueled at about 250, with 25 or so showing "remaining"). Dash display shows about 18.5 MPG over the lifetime of the car so far. Has anyone been able to eek out 300 miles? We commute 40 miles every day, 35+ of it is highway at 70mph or so. Feels wrong that my 100 series can make it about 50 miles further on a tank (albeit with the light on for a bit if I'm pushing my luck)...
Last two tanks were in eco mode, no change.
How the hell did Toyota come up with 23 combined? Could the port installed Nittos be making that big of a difference?

Everytime I fill up (now at 6600 miles on odometer) with about 25 miles left to empty, I put in about 14.5 gallons. The tank holds 17. You can easily get 300 but you have to be comfortable driving on empty. Not recommended since the extra fuel keeps the fuel pump cool and not recommended to run out of fuel due to hybrid system as it might get damaged if rely too much on battery. My distance always says 250 miles to empty at fill up time. Frustrating to be using only 14 gallons of fuel every tank.
Thanks guys, sounds like I've got about 3 gallons left when I'm filling up. The biggest flub on their end is the little tank. 19mpg is fine, no complaints there. But the tiny little tank just doesn't cut it. I wonder if one day someone will figure out how to get the GX tank in there. 20+ gallons would have been great, approaching 400 miles.
Are the Landcruiser and GX the only vehicles built in Japan? I thought I heard 4runner tacoma and others are built here and LC and GX still built in Japan.

4 Runner is Japan as well. They run on the same line as the 250/460 does at Tahara. At least they did for 2024. I assume they still do.
New 4Runner is still built in Tahara.
Tacoma, Tundra, and Sequoia are built in one of 3 plants. Depending on the trim. San Antonio (TX), Baja (CA), or Guanajuato (Mexico).

How are they in snow and mud?

You haven’t heard about the 100,000 plus Tundras and Lexus SUVs that are getting their engines replaced under a recall? It apparently doesn’t extend past 2023 models so far, but we will see I guess. I wouldn’t want a V6 in a full-size truck no matter what, but im sure in the 550 it would be great if they get the issues worked out.
It looks coolerI don't consider a 100 or 200 a Landcruiser.
I don't want to start a thread for this, but why would anyone choose the Toyota version over the Lexus version?
Yeah Ive heard of that but heard its a limited range from early 2022. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something else or more problems found out.
I am still getting used to mine, but have only racked up 600 miles. The two biggest complaints are the fuel capacity, and the auto start/stop. Not having ever owned a hybrid before, and having the option of a switch to turn the auto start/top off, is been a struggle for me. Otherwise, I think it is a really cool rig.
We have about 1,300 miles on ours and I have started using the tow-haul button in some situations where I for sure don't want the LC doing the auto start/stop. I 100% agree on the fuel tank size. Another 4 to 6 gallons (or more) would really put this in more comfortable mileage range per tank.
