Has anyone got the finder to be able to search for the first item it shows when we press enter on the keyboard? seems like something so simple but ignored by Samsung for years.
can't find anything in goodlock either
im doing 1 full month of 87 just to get a gauge of the difference between regular & premium.
91/93 I get a full range estimate of ~280 miles
on 87 I get ~271
I don't really understand how the computer estimates the range, if anyone here does, please let me know.
I have maybe 70lbs of cargo at all times, I weight 195lbs
I'm running toyo open country at 3s 275/70/18
standard roof rack cross bars.
almost at 2k miles total, so probably still some breaking in to do.
I'm also at sea level, i believe this matters some.
what trip fuel economy are you guys getting and what is your range?
Love these everyday.
The extra storage is a MUST have.

tl;dr below
Range/MPG:
I should start by saying I bought this car knowing the MPG was going to be a lot worse than my Honda CRV Hybrid (40mpg combined with offroad tires), I just didn't know HOW much worse it wouldve been.
I've done 550 miles on the car and I've already refilled twice within 6 days of ownership. It's a huge jump from about a week and a half on a tank in the CRV with an 11gal tank and regular gas.
I'm getting under 300miles of estimated range when I fill the tank, and at the end of an empty tank, avg was 18mpg, i drive a mixture of eco/normal. I've reset the odometer now to see if anything will change.
That being said, I know this is a big ass tank of a vehicle, I knew what I was getting into, it's just a shocker in the real world, i havent even put on any sexy off-road tires on it yet.
Drive:
The drive and ride quality is spectacular. I've never driven a car that felt as nice as this. I don't know if this will sound weird, but turning the steering wheel/taking turns in this vehicle feels buttery smooth.
Gassing it to merge on the highway or speed off after a turn is out of this world. I'm amazed that a car this big can move this quickly. I love it.
I'm just still getting used to the acceleration buckling at times where it feels a bit jerky if i don't put enough force on the pedal.
Tech:
I'll be honest, the tech in the LC250 vs my Honda CRV is kind of lackluster, but it's not the end of the world. A lot of it is just me needing to adapt. I've been driving hondas for the past 15 years.
I've definitely miss not needing to consciously lock my car (walk away auto lock doors),
being able to put all my windows down while outside of the car (although i just enabled this feature on the LC with carista),
and for the love of god, having my button lights on while having all exterior lights on the car off... If i want to turn off DTRLs, I lose all the lighting on the interior as well. I like to be incognito in my car at times while still being able to see things.
All in all, these are all just personal quirks that I think will take time to get used to.
Sorry if this post comes off as complaining, I'm really not trying to give that off. I guess I just needed to vent because I felt like I did my research and still made a decision I'm not completely happy with because I went against some things that were important to me that I knew beforehand.
All in all, the Land Cruiser is amazing. Looks amazing and feels great to drive. I love looking back at it when I park. I purchased it cash, so if I do decide to sell it back i'll obviously take a good hit on depreciation but at least i'll get some money back in my pocket if i do decide to go get a hybrid lexus or get another crv hybrid. I'll probably give it until 2-3k miles to break it in to finally decide what I want to do. (I have to wait for the title in the mail anyways lol) Maybe it'll grow on me.
TL;DR
Any comments or feedback welcomed
Didn't get the Java seats like I wanted, but I'm okay with that. In love with this color. Already turning heads and getting pointy fingers on day 1 hahaha
I want to buy an LC 250 so badly, I know it's basically a tank on wheels and I'm expecting a 15mpg daily on average.
I currently drive a Honda CRV (40mpg on avg)
Has anyone else switched from a Hybrid or Non-gas guzzler vehicle to one of these beauties?
If so, what's it like? Is mpg not a concern for LC drivers?
