Hi, I am located in Eastern New Hampshire and just traded in my 2018 Subaru Outback for a 2024 Land Cruiser First Edition. I had been searching for a good off road vehicle with a retro look. So I considered the INIOS Grenadier, Lexus GX550 and the Land Cruiser. The Grenadier had the appearance I was looking for, but it's a new company with a lot of unknowns and the dealer was 90 miles away - too risky. The GX550 wasn't quite retro enough, plus the V6 recalls spooked me. The Land Cruiser had the looks, the dealer was close by and the reliability of Toyota was a plus. The downside for me was the fact it is a hybrid, this is my first and I would have preferred a conventional gas engine. After test driving the Land Cruiser both me and my wife fell in love with the car- so that did it. I was lucky that my dealer had just received a First Edition in Heritage Blue and a mid level model in Trail Dust. Love both colors, But the First Edition just looked better with the round headlights, standard roof rack, rock rails, leather, etc... I now have 247 miles on it after 1 week and I am loving it.
