Hello all.
Still own a Jeep JK but also own a more civilized 2024 Land Cruiser for the last few years as well. Been an enthusiast for years with Audi’s, Alfa’s, you name it.
Been a lurker, but just clicked past 36k and will start doing a few things to the 250. Northeast Indiana based.

Welcome to the site @Mallcrawljk glad to have you aboard!
Welcome to the asylum.Hello, everyone.
I’m new here. English is not my first language and this is my first post.
I’m a lady in my mid forties from Texas. And this is my first LC.
I got my 250 a year ago without knowing much about vehicles in general.
At the beginning I wanted a Subaru Outback Wilderness because I liked the colors (don’t judge me) but the seller told me they didn’t have any. So I went to the Toyota dealer and pretty much fell head over heels for the 250. I’m exaggerating but after I drove it I wanted it.
My best friend has a 250 also and she goes camping and travels a lot in hers and she highly recommended to check it out.
I’m extremely happy with my LC 250. And because I’m oblivious, I recently found out about the “it’s a prado” thingI don’t care what it is called, it’s a great vehicle and so far has kept me safe on the road, which is what matters.
I took her once to South Padre and had a lot of fun. I’m looking forward to take her to Louisiana as soon as possible.
Thank you for having me

Welcome! The Land Cruiser is easy to fall in love with, so no surprises there. Outbacks are great vehicles too. I was recently shopping Subarus with my daughter and loved their color inventory (though we are boring and chose black!).Hello, everyone.

You should take pride whenever you’re reminded yours is “just” a Prado. Prados have been one of the core Land Cruiser types since the 1980s, and represent some of the greatest characteristics of what the Land Cruiser brand has always meant to be. If you really want to nerd out over the history you can learn more here: The Land Cruiser Codex
What color is your 250? Let’s see some pics!
Welcome!
Howdy! Newbie here but have been a lurker the past year. Grew up with my dad owning a ‘94 then an ‘04 Landcruiser so I couldn’t help myself when I saw the LC250. Snagged a 2025 Base and have been tinkering with little enhancements over the past year and a half.
Welcome FlyDude - if you like upgrading & mods your going to like that 250!

Hello LC Enthusiasts! Great to be here. We welcomed to our family L250 this week and are super excited for our first trips to the desert (we’re expats based in Dubai). This is our first 4x4, previously we had SUVs. We are now in the “What do we need to camp” stage so if anyone has recommendations for all the camping gear hit me up Also, for UAE Prado owners - are there any gatherings? Would be great to catch up!

As far as camping gear, it really depends on what type camping you do, not planning to do, but actually do.......... My advise is simple, Start off simple! An air mattress, something to cook on, sleeping bags and a mosquito proof awning/enclosure, some folding chairs/stools and most important toilet tissue in a waterproof container! After your first couple of outings and if it's what you thought it would be and plan to continue, you can acquire better gear and up your game and if it's not what you thought.......you're not out much.
There are a lot of good ideas on the different members "build pages" and there are also a lot of ideas that are costly and don't work for me. Be selective and try the ideas that work for you and your family. My setup is for a single person, who's been camping since I was a kid. It's now geared towards comfort and convivence vs rough and tuff.......LOL

Hello, joined when I started looking to buy a Land Cruiser 250 and will now post that I finally got an allocation for my Land Cruiser that I put a deposit on in May 2026. Getting built now so will have it November in Meteor Shower (had 3 color options on my request to improve getting one sooner). I am in Utah (North of SLC) and fairly new to off road vehicles and hope to enjoy taking it on some trails. Nice that the dealer is getting me exactly what I want with no random extras and getting it at MSRP.
New to LCs but not Toyotas. Moving into a 2024 LC 1958 after totaling my 2022 4Runner TRD ORP. Looking forward to learning from you all!
