    Land Cruiser...end of life

    That's what LC owners like me did and now Toyota is discontinuing them in the US. If LC resale values held up as well as 4Runners, owners would have put up with the highly reliable but very inefficient engine. Three years later 2016 LC's are worth $20-25k less and the 2019 models are almost...

    Land Cruiser...end of life

    Both are bad. I drive mostly SF city and hilly Marin highways so my mileage is usually worse than city numbers. 16mpg is still a 23% improvement on 13mpg.

    Land Cruiser...end of life

    I had 2016 LC and refueling was just a constant reminder of how inefficient the engine is. The LC fuel tank is only 7% larger than a 4Runner, but LC mileage is 30% lower. I loved our LC especially since it fit our large family. It wasn't even our daily driver. But those frequent gas station...

    Land Cruiser...end of life

    Three years after the last of the 2021 LC's come off lease should be the lowest you can get one. That's when there will be the most used ones to choose from. I had a 2016 LC I should have kept. My wife's lease on her Odyssey was ending. She thought she wanted an LR4 so at the end of the lease...

    Could use some advice on search for a used 4Runner ...

    Our oldest son is about to get his license so I have been shuffling cars around and spending too much time researching and looking for cars. I love it. What's surprising is how many dealers advertise or calculate monthly payments on 72 month loans as if it's the new standard. When I purchased...

    wheel locks

    I wanted to replace the chrome lug nuts on my 2015 TRD Pro I just got and this thread was useful. Wanted to add some more current info based on what I went through. First, the lug nuts on 2015 models came with longer 1.75" long studs. Current ones are 1.5". I ordered 1.5" lug nuts and they...

    TRD PRO wheels center cap letter paint peeling!

    I'm resurrecting this old thread to see if this issue was isolated to 2015 TRD Pro center caps. I just got a 2015 TRD Pro and all four center cap logos are pealing. I don't see other recent posts about this so I'm hoping ordering a new set is the easiest fix. I might have to play with paint...

    How much are people paying for the NEW 4Runner?

    The lease numbers shared on the edmunds.com 2016 4Runner lease forums did not have separate money factors for the TRD Pro. Not sure if that was an error or if dealers were padding the money factor. I had been talking to SF Toyota for a few weeks about getting either a TRD Pro or Land Cruiser...

    4runner TRD Pro

    Congratulations! Looks great. I was so close to getting the same one two weeks ago. More details later.

    How much are people paying for the NEW 4Runner?

    Tell them you'll sell your car yourself and take the the deal on the new 4runner. If they won't sell the new 4runner at $34.8k, then you were about to get boned. Figure out what your car is worth then negotiate.

    Need Advice, possibly selling my TRD Pro

    I almost said screw it and got that local inferno red one. Didn't want to deal with removing tint and mud terrain tires. Looked cool, but not for me. This search has been a total distraction. Took a peak at a Land Cruiser. A new TRD Pro with a little mark up might save me some money at this...
