The Return of the Land Cruiser?

Our list is the same with the Tahoe thrown in too. If we get another 4Runner it will be one of the last of the 5th Gens and stick with that known reliability. The back seat space on the 6th gen also looks like it may be smaller than the 5th.

That’s cool. Now we know that the new LC can drive on dirt roads.

 

Well duh! The LC is STILL the best 4wd system.

Not sure when the Land Cruiser configurator went live on Toyota Canada's web site: https://www.toyota.ca/toyota/en/build-price/land-cruiser

 

That's the highest spec LC with the options. The 1958 is $72.4 Canadian, about $53k US

 

Saw a new Lexus GS550 in LA yesterday (pretty sure that was the tag on the rear tailgate). Looked just like this. Didn't get a chance to talk to the owner regarding the powerplant.
It was parked at a Funeral I was attending in San Pedro area. Not a good time to talk cars.

 

I envision the new LC and GX drivers to be like this:

That didn't take long...

Have any of you heard the reasoning behind the LC requiring premium fuel when the Tacoma with the same engine doesn’t.

 

Looks like it will need 91. No big deal.

 

It’s almost a buck a gallon more around here. That’s just throwing away money.

 

Well then, buyer beware.

 

If Toyota can tune that engine to run on regular in the Tacoma then why not the LC? Is it to gain 1/2 an mpg or something?

 

I dunno contact the engineer of the LC. 91 is the octane required. The engineer knows why better than we do.

 

No need to be so pissy about it. I was just asking if anyone heard the reasoning behind it.

 

It's because the Land Cruiser is a premium product, and therefore requires premium gas. The Tacoma, being for regular folks, just needs regular gas.

 

Not getting pissy, you asked a question and it was answered with the known facts and you kept asking the same question. If you need further info search around or contact Toyota why they set the 91 octane requirement.

 

LC owners don’t want to touch the same gas pump buttons as the peasants.

 

Perhaps someone else here has more info than you???
