What did you drive before your LC 200

[afgman786]

The A750F in the Tacoma was actually quite good. It was the pathetic V6 that powered it was the problem.

The engine is meant for a camry/avalon not the taco. There was no point in having 6th gear on that trans with the amount it hunts to stay in power

Not disagreeing - but the gear hunting and shift logic of the AT is a software problem. Going out on a limb that losing a mile or two in your mpg ratings for the EPA of a vehicle distributed at that volume wouldn't have been a good look.

Either way, while still slow... It was an enjoyable vehicle with the manual trans.

Yea the manual is way better for the new tacos. The AT logic of upshifting so early doesn't work with the power band of that engine.

Totally agree that it had to do with CAFE rules and what not, but just doesn't make it nice to drive.

Too many vehicles to list, but suffice it to say we aren’t rich... never will be....largely because we bought way too many vehicles.... including one we really miss we owned when we lived briefly in Australia. It was a 2007 LC Prado with a 4.0L V6 petrol..... If we could get one of these here in the US, we would own one! The Lexus GX isn’t the same, at least not a 2018 we just test drove with a 4.6L V8!

what an amazing LC! Put 11000 KM on it in 89 days throughout QLD.....including an amazing trek to and all around Frazier Island....which my friends us a bucket list thing every off road enthusiast needs to experience... and the Prado was truly brilliant!

very few cars I’ve owned would I want again.... but the Prado is at the top of the list. The 4l V6 blows away the US spec V8!.... just a perfect LC!
