Purported changes to 2027 LC250

Yet somebody will do a deep water crossing just because it has a snorkel. "Poof" need new batteries, warranty denied.

There’s a limit to April fools jokes and teasing a higher fuel tank is it

Does that mean we get a bigger tank but it doesn't cost more to fill up. Just playing with the people talk about cost to fill up as the only determinant of efficiency.....
Gas tank non issue. It gets me to my 373 mile destination readily....haven't zeroed range yet,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,hauling around an extra 7 gallons beyond my needs is just a weight waste (6.35 x 7 = 44.45lbs). The old LC was lucky to get 15mpg highway and 10-12 round town so I'm over all the chirping on that topic.
My little dogs would have loved the rear seat heaters when its zero outside...but the garage has neutralized that need.
I'd put any amount of $$ that a raised snorkel's loss to aero neutralizes any other advantages short of the river crossing...and the look at me factor

Well, at least Toyota wisely placed the battery completely inside the interior, so the water would have to get to that area. Heck, unless changed as of late, not even vent extensions on the differentials, so deep water is really a no-go in any case. Be realistic, the high air intake is primarily for macho appearance, and actually ugly in my opinion.

3. Match the suspension from the GX minus the electronics
4. Get rid of the battery bump in the cargo area
5. Fix the fog lights from flexing
6. Add thicker glass side and front
7. Get rid of the hood flexing
8. Turn up the heated seats

Did Toyota add dual pane front side glass to the 2027 model

This is obviously wishful thinking, given the drive train IS reliable, and no way will the traction battery be moved, etc.

 

[Esquire]

12. A naturally aspirated V12
13. Quadruple pane windows
14. No brakes at all on all four wheels (to eliminate squeak potential)
15. A fully equipped top price just shy of $37,200

If they do a deep water crossing just because a snorkel is on it then they deserve what they get. There's a lot more that has to be done to even a regular intern combustion engine powered vehicle before fording deep water than just a snorkel slapped on there. I want the raised intake for dust and it looks cool and you can hear the turbo more.
