Well, at least one can use regular grade gasoline I presume? For whatever bizarre reason, the new Land Cruiser demands premium 91 grade fuel. Same drive train, but evidentially tuned for the higher grade.

I wonder if this will hold true for the Tacoma? However, the previous generation Taco is a lot closer to the new than the previous 4Runner is to the new generation. The new 4Runner is essentially a Tacoma with a different body, reverting back in this regard to when the 4Runner was just hatched.

A totally boxed frame, so hopefully Toyota is more successful at corrosion/rust prevention than in the past. To me it seems a no-brainer to super-coat the frame, especially the internal areas.

Bronconomore, what is your opinion/experience regarding corrosion susceptibility between a body-on-frame and unibody? Of course TigerEyeJazz would not have an issue in Florida, but in the U.S. "Rust Belt" this is a critical concern with the frames.

Also interested! The 2024 Land Cruiser, with presumably the identical drive train, recommends, but does not require, premium fuel. In other words, to achieve full power, premium is needed, but the engine will adjust accordingly for regular fuel. This is the way it should be with modern...

Was just viewing a YouTube review/opinion from Kirk Kreifels, and he alleges the is a marked difference between the LC and 4Runner, the LC being much higher quality interior-wise, even comparing to the 1958 trim. I find this difficult to believe, as other reviewers have reported the LC 1958 trim...

Power running boards, correct?

I am curious why the non-hybrid appears to have a vacuum-boost brake system, and the hybrid does not? Which is better? I would think the latter, but opinions please...

And possibly tires. True winter/ice tires make a BIG difference!

I'm in for the Platinum. Precisely as pictured! However, not 100% onboard with the all black wheels. Chin delete - immediately! Not going to be cheap, as the power running boards alone are roughly a $2K feature.

Oh! What does "YT" indicate? Just an old guy here sitting on the edge of my seat...

Could be mistaken, but have it on my calendar as 20:15 MT tonight. Sitting on pins and needles.

Great to hear. I'm in!

Even odds at best I think. It is basically a Taco with a different body. However, that could also be said of the LC.
