Timeline for LC250 Editions?

[BigMF]

*Apologies if this has already been discussed ad nuaseam.

Anyone have any thoughts on how quickly the non-First Editions will be released? If I heard correctly, they weren't going to roll the 1958 and Land Cruiser editions out until the 5,000 FE's were sold. Was that 5,000 globally or just in the US? Based on the last few years the 200 was sold in the US, it was about 3400 units on average so are we looking at 1.5 years'ish before the other editions are rolled out?

Feel free to slap me on the head and send me a link to the thread that already discusses this if necessary.

Some dealers already have allocations for the Land Cruiser and 1958 trims.

My dealer (Longo Toyota) says they have a Land Cruiser trim coming in for me late May/early June.

Toyota is building trucks per their plan and are not going to slow roll production to wait for First Editions to clear the dealer lots. They build to plan, deliver them and dealers, as separate business entities, manage their inventory.

My 1958 has estimated availability 05/23/24 - 06/22/24. I am sure others will get theirs sooner.

Edit: MSRP + Door edge guard $155 + Illuminated door sills $360 + Quick Charging Cable Package $70 + All Weather Floor Liners $228. Probably wouldn't add any of those on, but would have bought weather tech mats anyway and $813 isn't going to break the deal for me.

That's great to hear. Do you know (yet) if they are going to mark yours up exorbitantly over MSRP? Also, am I the only one that cannot get into the LC builder/configurator on Toyota.com? Below is the message I've gotten for weeks:

Longo and several other California dealers sell at MSRP.

On the web page, I get that sometimes if I have a VPN running. Yup, confirmed just now if I turn on my VPN I get that, if it's off the page loads.

Confirm. Longo Toyota and Longo Lexus are MSRP.

Also can confirm to get on their list you will need to place a refundable deposit.

And, if you decide you are not interested they give you back your refundable deposit, without any drama.

I have bought from the Lexus side in the past, the Toyota side had no issues refunding my Rav4 Prime deposit when we bought an RX instead.

On a VPN.....what a NERD! Lo and behold as soon as I disconnect MY VPN , I can see the builder as well. Thank you sir.

Also, just checked the inventory of my two closest dealers and for the first time I'm seeing some LC's listed and one of them does show a 1958 "In Transit" versus "In Production". Sweet!

I turned down a LandCruiser Premium last week because it had 20's. Everything seems to be in play now.

I've turned down three Land Cruiser with the premium package because they all had 20 inch wheels. I'm getting allocation updates from two local dealerships and every LC with premium package they've been allocated so far have 20 inch wheels. Very frustrating.

 

[Markarian421]

All the local ones I'm seeing in CA have 20" wheels. I happened to look at one New Mexico, and then a few more, and none of those list 20" wheels. So there's hope maybe?

When we looked last week of the 265 in the system only 30 had the 20” wheels. This was all trims combined.
