Exactly wtf are people complaining about I have 20,000 miles on my 2024 LCLC purchased last September.
Overall gas mileage is 21.5 mpg I
I fill it up and I see a 360 mile range and that’s low it should be 385.
I think the tank capacity is 17.9 gallons right?
It’s a big deal to me and many others. It’s a totally legitimate complaint and one not simply solved.

Prior and current gen’s have available sub tanks combined with superior diesel engines get 2X-3x range.

This assumes that North American LC200 owners were happy with the 24 gallon tank versus the rest of the world got. I have two for friends with LC200s and they both asked me about the driving range and fuel capacity of my LC 250 when I got it. They were both disappointed that Toyota decided not to fix one of the biggest complaints they both had with their LC200’s.
Sounds like a lot of highway miles…
Sure
My last brief visit to Utah involved off-roading about half way through this stretch of I-70. There aren’t any gas stations out in the middle of the San Rafael Swell. My tank was empty by the time I got to the end of this 106 miles. But then I guess most people don’t wander that far from towns in the US. (They should, we spent an entire two week vacation once hiking the canyons out in the Swell!)
Agree.
But let’s cut through the nonsense — since when does pulling off at a trailhead a stone’s throw from the interstate count as “off-highway”?
Several members are dead set on redefining off highway use. Their bragging that their never more than a hundred miles from a gas station only proves they've never left major interstate corridors. They would probably be much happier with an X5.
What happens when you hit a real backcountry route in Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon, or Arizona where 160–200 miles without fuel is normal? Or when you’re on BLM and Forest Service roads with nothing for hundreds of miles — is your “hundred-mile rule” still worth anything then?
And Moab as an example of “remote”? Give me a break. A town of 5,000 people with 11 gas stations is practically a service hub. If that’s your definition of remote, your not describing off highway travel you’re just describing a weekend day trip.

I’m seeing 22.3 mpg lately on mine. 30 mile commute everyday at 70-80 mph and some backroad driving as well in that commute.
I wish for a diesel drivetrain that we will never see lol.
One of the reasons I never went Premium Package.
Exactly why I stayed with 18" wheels.Depending on wheel design yes, no, maybe. The Method 17” seem to give enough clearance, but I’d prefer 18” based on thehappens factor.
I had 15” alloys and slightly oversized tires on my old Cherokee. After one fateful trip playing in mud I got a little bit stuck, to the point I ended up having to back out of some ruts (made by a much larger truck) after getting high centered. When all was said & done, my front disk brakes were jammed full of mud. The scraping noises were not happy sounds once that dried in there.
I went home after picking up the Mrs with mud sprayed 3/4 of the way to the roof and she was not impressed. It took quite a bit of effort getting the caked mud out of the rims and front brakes. A little more clearance would have been a good thing- ground clearance and clearance between the rims & brakes. I had no plans on getting stuck, but standing water in mud can be deceptive. If you have no plans for those kind of misfortunes, 17’s could be just fine.
It appears after receiving numerous customer complaints about inadequate fuel tank size on the J200 from 2008-2021, Toyota responded by installing a smaller fuel tank on the J250.
Maybe customers should try reverse psychology and complain that the tanks are way too large instead

Afraid you've got that backwards.
Toyota offered the J200 with a factory-fitted sub tank. 93 L (main) + 45 L (sub‑tank), delivering a total of 138 L, which equates to approximately 36.4 U.S. gallons. This configuration was offered as standard in many regions globally.
When paired with the 4.5L twin-turbo diesel V8, which typically returns about 18–20 mpg, this setup provided an effective range of roughly 650–725 miles.
Bottom line the J200 is capable of exceptional range by any standard.
Unfortunately over half that capability was lost when it was forced to to comply with local regulations in the United States.
It wasn’t Toyota’s preference to install a smaller tank or a thirsty gas engine the U.S. regulatory environment forced that on them.
The i-Force Max setup is offered exclusively in North America and nowhere else. It’s the closest Toyota could get to delivering diesel-like performance in the U.S. market and still meet US emission requirements. By combining a 2.4L turbocharged gas engine with a hybrid electric motor, the system delivers strong low-end torque and improved efficiency characteristics that help it to almost match the diesel engines offered virtually everywhere else. They did the best they could.
In my opinion they have succeeded, with the added benefit of top-end power (8s 0-60 compared to >11s for the diesel) and 2400W inverter.
24.6 gallons on the old LC which got like 15mpg highway.......at 75-80. What an owner told me years back. (rated 13/18) So 24.6x15=369 miles.......what's the big deal? LC250 is 23mpg (22/25) so 17.9 x 23=412 miles. Keeping it real by using the combined numbers
18x24=432
25x17.9 =447
This argument doesn't hold water unless the old one was even worse ........

I don't have complaints about the drivetrain and performance of the current engine, just comparing it to my old Audi A6 C7 TDI. Lots of torque and I gassed up every two weeks. 35+ mpg on the highway and almost 685 miles from a tank and I never babied that car either. I just think this with a diesel, larger tank, and getting something like 550 miles from a tank would be the perfect combo.
