r/LandCruiser250

I got my 2027 LC about a month ago now, and due to my schedule at work I kept it parked for a couple weeks. When I hopped in to go camping it wouldn’t start.

I’m reading a lot about parasitic drains, and this is “normal” for a Hybrid - but is this really true? It blew my mind in the moment and I almost towed it to the dealer but AAA said they won’t do anything since it fired right up on jump.

Any advice is welcome, I bought a trickle charger but it’s one for inside and I’m not sure it will do much with the tinting in place.

Currently in the market for a 250. I’m sure this has been posted before but wanted to create a new post. For those that own a 1958, what features do you wish you have? For those that own a LC, what features can you go without?

Hi! I have a 2026 Model Y premium that I’ve had for a year already. While I know there’s Tesla slander and besides the political dynamic, it’s been a great car for city life. To me, it just doesn’t feel like a car I want to own “forever” or run into the ground. EV’s are great but eventually these models will be worthless and with battery loss it means less miles over time on road trips or even every day driving.

I’ve been eyeing the new ‘27 Land Cruiser and love the small little updates like heated and cooling rear seats. I love Toyota, I love reliability. And it just got me thinking that this is a car that will stand the test of time. It could possibly well be the last car I ever buy. It’s $70k + so I’m kind of cringing at the possibility of buying something that expensive and on top of that, gas is still pricey right now. For those of you who purchase it, do you feel like the price of what it is justifies the quality of the car? The dealerships don’t seem to want to budge on negotiating and here in Vegas they’re always adding some dumb $1500 desert package. The dealership said they could order me one with premium package and with no dealer add ons. Any recommendations for pricing, incentives, or details about the car that I should know?

I have a new Land Cruiser coming next month and and really excited. What did you all do for anti theft? Don’t really want something which might void the warranty

I’m really wanting a Land Cruiser with the Java interior and I’ve read they can be difficult to find. Can anyone tell me how long you had to wait to find one with Java interior?

Please help if anyone has ideas or a similar experience.

I just bought my 2027 landcruiser 250 a month ago. It has a rattling sound like in the rear door or in the post between doors. I took it into dealer and they lubed something and said adjusted door (did not look inside anything)
They said its fixed, i drove off and it was good for like 30 minutes and cane right back 🫠
It happens driving straight no particular speed and does not need to be a rough road or anything. Its like something is loose.

A real Land Cruiser!
On stock tires no less.
Reminds me of my old 80 that I had since 1995. Similar size and feel.

Does anyone have a solution like a suggested aftermarket product to resolve the LC 250s incredibly shitty sun visor? The really tall window driver window combined with a virtually useless tiny plastic visor pull out makes driving frustrating when the sun is even remotely at an angle. Absolute worst sun visor I've ever had of the 15 plus cars I've driven. Interested to see how people made it work better.

Anyone else having issue at random where the memory seat does not go into position at start? I first thought I was putting it in drive too fast but today confirmed it just didn’t go. Shut off and restarted the LC and the seat moved into position. Seems to happen when I have short stops like pumping gas.
