Then the question has to be, does Aisin have multiple manufacturing locations? And admittedly, related to my question, there are undoubtedly far fewer Land Cruisers being sold in the U.S. than Tacoma's.

Unless mistaken, don't think I have seen any transmission failures reported on the 2024 Land Cruiser forum. Where are these transmissions manufactured? The LC is 100% made in Japan. What does the Tacoma window sticker indicate?

Agreed re completely inadequate. The corporate bean-counters prevailed. Profit over practicality.

The problem with the products I purchase is they ex-gas, i.e. leave a residue/cloud on the windshield. Recommendations?

The octanes by stations offered is directly tied to altitude, i.e. here at 4800' "regular" fuel is all 85 octane. This begs the question, with a turbo engine does the altitude factor apply? Also, how good is the engine at adjusting/compensating for the fuel octane? A Toyota engineer has stated...

Exactly the reason I have a Land Cruiser in the queue. Made in Japan.

I hear you univurshul, as an off-roader myself. Hopefully it will covered under warranty, but I can see Toyota becoming stubborn.

Not necessarily, off-roading or a severe pothole could be the cause, and not covered under warranty.

It is my understanding the hybrids will do exactly what you wish IF the doors are locked, i.e. it thinks someone in in the vehicle. The A/C will remain on, and the inverter power will be available. The engine will start periodically to maintain the hybrid battery charge. Have not tried it...

Yep, blocks would work...

Right, without jackstands for safety? NO WAY!

Profit! Is there any way you can possibly decline it? Strange, how these add-on's vary by region, as I have not seen this in our area (West/Idaho)

Securing the loose connectors? :) Have noticed some posts where the QC has not been all that shiny in this regard...

YES! That data was out there for a spell, posted by another, but is now stuck at 4/8. Toyota may have put a halt to it.

Super! Sure wish Land Cruisers were included... Shows something we already know, a glut of Tundras out there.

Thanks so much ridetime! We are both in our early 80's, and I'm sure the wife will need them. She struggles a bit with our '21 Highlander, and it has the fixed boards. What she really misses is the window pillar handgrip as we had on a 4Runner. Would like to consider a Land Cruiser, but no power...

OP, we are in your age group, and beyond. How do you find the power running boards? Would you assess them as dropping a bit lower than standard/fixed running boards?

True, a Jeep is noisy and unreliable, but in the extreme rough, especially mountain trails with switchbacks, a short-wheelbase Rubicon would be my choice over a Taco. This said, not going to own another. For that matter never anything from Stellantis.

Impressive for city driving and not a hybrid. In addition to ECO mode, were you light on the pedal? Looking forward to the results from Normal and Sport.

They are also on the Toyota website, available to configure. The First Edition is pricy! Given this, will be seriously considering the GX550.
