My Love Affair with my Blue Beluga

This is a dream vehicle as it is so damn capable, will take you wherever you want to go and it looks good doing it. I wish there were more accessories to doll up this brute, but as it gets into the mainstream everyone will be jumping on that bandwagon. We have the Heritage Blue and even though we live in Western Washington have never seen another one.

Intangibles that you can't put a price on

There are some things that defy rational thinking and common sense...like love, and that explains why I absolutely adore and appreciate this car. Forget the little knocks that you read here, forget comparing feature sets with other vehicles. That is your rational brain. Lean into the look and feel of this beautiful LC...shift like a man like we used to, hear the roar of that turbo, count on 1 hand as you go around town and on long drives how few LC's you see on the road. This is such a unique car and it will last you for decades even when the others have gone through fads and try to capture your attention with 60 inch screens and 20 cup holders. And to say this cargo space is small, just push the middle seat down and you have 82 cubic feet! We have moved an entire house over rough road with our 1958 with no problem. Isn't that more important than lifting stuff 4 additional inches? Landcruiser people don't mind putting their back into things, they enjoy lifting the trunk, they love the manual cloth seats. If that's not you, have fun with your telluride. I am sure alot of people feel similarly about their Broncos ( not Bronco sport, which are quite pathetic). And I did too...really like that car but fate made me test drive these back to back and there is no comparison in my opinion. If you mostly off-road, then I can see where why you'd disagree.

Most don't come with Disconnecting Sway Bar

I've owned quite a few off-road oriented Toyotas over the years and am a big fan, including of my new 2025 Land Cruiser Land Cruiser (LCLC, i.e., not the 1958), but there are a few drawbacks of which potential buyers might like to be aware. -- The disconnecting sway bar is an approximately $1200 option -- not standard equipment -- on the LCLC. It's not available at all on the 1958, and most new LCLCs are being shipped without them. And since you no longer can order Toyotas to spec, you might have trouble finding one with the DSB. -- The ride is truck-like. My 2023 Lexus GX 460 with its KDSS is much smoother. If ride quality is important to you but you want an off-road oriented Toyota product you'll do better with a new or used Lexus GX or LX. -- Fellow sufferers of back pain may struggle to find a comfortable seating position as I have. The seats in my other vehicles are more comfortable. This probably won't be a problem for most. -- The electronic nannies on this vehicle are overwhelming. Warning beeps and messages of all kinds appear constantly. Happily, most of this can be turned off but you'll need to spend a while with the options menu. It would be great if Toyota installed a single switch that would stop all of the electronic screaming when this vehicle is taken off-road. -- The stock tires are good on-road but aren't going to cut it in serious off-roading conditions. I'm considering replacement options. -- If you get the premium package you're getting the cool box, which is a nice feature but cuts down on center console storage space. And we haven't yet found a convenient place for the front passenger to put his/her phone. That's it for the nitpicks. Otherwise this is a terrific vehicle worthy of the Land Cruiser nameplate. Outstanding build quality, beautiful interior, strong powertrain, very capable off-road (with the right tires, and if you're lucky with the DSB), and nicely composed on-road.

8000 km Check Up

I have the Middle Trim. I could not be more pleased with this Rig. Very Comfortable. Very Responsive, it is Immediate, hard to believe for a 4 Cyl. Very Impressive! Best I’ve done so far on fuel is 8.6L/100km on Cruise at 90km/hr 10.4L/100 km on Cruise at 115 km/hr It seems to be getting better as it breaks in. 8000 km check revealed all the fluid leaked out of the left rear shock. I Love this Rig! I dont know how they could have made it better. It’s a work of Art.

Bad brakes; bad windshield design; bad service

I bought my LC trim with Premium Package on December 31. Aesthetically, it is nice. Unfortunately, the brakes squeal loudly in reverse. It is a known issue that Toyota will not repair. My dealership told me that it was because of the materials used in the brake pads. Also, within 2 weeks, the windshield developed a crack. From what I've read online, this is common because the windshield is so vertical. It has been months now, and Toyota will not send a replacement windshield. They say it's on backorder. Except, in the meantime, Toyota continues to manufacture and sell LCs with new windshields. When I asked them to send me one of the new windshields they use for new LCs, they said it is in a different supply chain. Totally unhelpful and nonsensical. Toyota Brand Engagement is unhelpful. I have been trying to work with them for months. The first representative didn't contact me again. After weeks, I called back and was assigned a new representative. He supposedly secured me a replacement windshield. Told me in a voicemail message and he closed my file. I never got the windshield. So, once again, the burden was placed on me to run the issue down with Brand Engagement. Now they are telling me it is on back order again. So, I am driving a $70,000 vehicle that looks like a $10,000 vehicle, and sounds like a $2,000 vehicle. Making monthly payments the whole time. It's as if Toyota writes you off once you aren't a source of revenue anymore. The last Brand Engagement rep laughed at me over the phone. I've asked to speak with their repurchase department. At this point, I regret buying it although it's a nice design. The only bright spots in my ownership have been my interactions with Palmer Toyota of Mobile, AL and Allen Toyota of Gulfport, MS. Great service so far. But the dealerships are independent and not part of Toyota corporate.
