2024 Land Cruiser First Edition
Picked up a First Edition in Meteor Shower yesterday at Hartford Toyota; Kaleb our sales associate was excellent. I was at right place at right time to grab this truck. No dealer markup but did include a few “options” I never would have selected, such as a ball trailer hitch, cargo net, UCB charging cables, first aid kit, etc. The cost of getting the truck early….

Traded and drove down my MB SL63 AMG convertible so the first part of the drive home to Vermont had me doubting myself. Just such a huge difference in highway handling. But by the time I hit the dirt roads of Vermont, I was loving the truck. So does my wife who has now claimed it and gave me her Macan!

By the way, at 75+ MPH on the Interstate there was no hood or side mirror vibration or noise, as some have reported. It is a decent highway drive, but naturally much more fun on backroads.
Thanks!

Very cool. Tried to buy a heritage Blue FE there but they were marking it up by $5k as I was from a different area. Weird

I was in the same boat. Dealer that I'm purchasing from had a heritage blue and Trail dust coming that were identical except color. Ended up going with the Heritage blue, as blue is my favorite color. Trail dust is also a great color, but wife didn't like it as much.
 
Thanks Tundras the first time I saw the Blue I thought it’s the one but I do like the Trail dust but it’s going to be Blue 👍

Well, back on July 22 my wife was stopped at a traffic light when a guy in the adjacent left lane suddenly decided he wanted to turn right into her lane. I kid you not. Hit her at rear of left passenger door pretty hard. He was insured by Progressive which jerked my chain until I filed suit in Small Claims Court (it sometimes helps to be a lawyer). They eventually agreed to pay for repairs and diminished value but it took forever for the Toyota-affiliated collision center to obtain parts (truck was driveable, thankfully). Got it back yesterday even though still waiting for a piece of trim along the window. Moral of the story, watch out for lousy drivers and don’t sweat the small stuff!

Hopefully your wife is fine, and then, the repairs were done correctly. Looks good from your pictures. Sorry it happened to you!

Thanks. Ironically it was her birthday but she was fine (other than having to make the call to tell me)!
