Why would you start the engine and engage it? I must not be understanding you correctly.
Here is a picture of the right side of the steering wheel, from the owner's manual. Drive your car on the freeway, or an open road where using cruise control is appropriate and get up to the speed you want...
One thing I am surprised you didn't mention was the serious brake dive on the Gen 5. My 2018 Pro was sketchy as hell in a panic stop, all the weight transferred forward, and the rear end started moving around. Once you got comfortable with it you were okay, but it caught a few passengers out and...
Part of the equation is where you are in your own personal buying cycle. I needed a car, as my brand-new Land Cruiser was destroyed in an accident caused by someone else. I was lucky to find a Pro at MSRP, and I waited 7 weeks for delivery. If I had not found one at list price I was prepared to...
Why not tell us the model and the dealer? Info like this is useless without details. Seattle dealers are full of BS markups, so to get a discount is badass.
Please provide more details...
There is a bug in the system that causes VIN's to disappear, it happens towards the end of the QA/QC cycle just before the truck is shipped to the dealership. It happened to both me and @zgreen (as well as many others). And trucks have been showing up early.
What part of town are you in? I am in Mukilteo with a twice a week drive to MSFT in Redmond (Tuesdays/Thursdays). Still haven't seen any Pro's, but I have seen a couple 4R's. I did see two more Aston's on Friday and another Ferrari yesterday ?
Are you still looking? If so, let me know. I'm at 1300 miles in 2 weeks, which is way more miles than I have driven in a short time since Covid, and the truck is a blast to drive.
It is not rechargeable, either in car or via usb. It uses a dedicated battery, and every time someone asks the question "what kind of battery" nobody answers? It's weird.
And don't get me started on the other things Toyota sells for that location. Leatherman tool holder? Weird. Ice Scrapper...
So, my understanding of the Beat Sonic is that it is just amplifying the signal in, put another way it is making the signal louder (aka noisier) before it hits the head unit. A poor solution, IMO.
If you are using your iPhone as an audio source, the easiest way to get more from your car stereo...
A lot of times dealers will want you to finance with them as they get a piece of the action. Did they actually "run the numbers" for you, or did they put together a hypothetical deal to show you the payments, with a 15k down payment? I experienced the latter when I bought mine, I had 5.75 lined...
Anecdotally I would say somewhere between 60-80 have been delivered to dealers. Most of those have been delivered, but some have not. For what it's worth, I have not seen any other Pro's in the Seattle area (but I have seen 3 Lamborghini's, 2 Ferrari's, and 2 Aston Martin's this week).
This whole topic is a can of worms - a can of worms which will be posted multiple times monthly for the foreseeable future, if the Lands Cruiser forums are anything to go by.
It doesn't make sense to me that MPG would decrease when using a higher octane (and all other factors being the same)...
