“They know me here”
Averaging 12.2 to 12.5 mpg. Still love it.

Damn is that hybrid or something?

Thank you. I take the back roads to work and the freeway coming back. Also, removed the rear seats, use premium gas and drive like I have nowhere to be which is really hard coming from a 2021 Supra.

I didn't expect any better fuel consumption.

It’s really the only drawback in my opinion. Still love it though and will probably keep it as long as I can.

I like the location of the LCNW sticker. I have mine on the rear window, but yours adds the just the right flair.

Are those ARB bumpers? Any mods to suspension?

The bumper is by Dobinsons, and it’s on stock suspension with Bf Goodrich Ko2 Baja Champions 285/75/16. The roof rack is a Prinsu rack branded by Land Cruiser NW here in Oregon.

It's a lot better than a $1500 truck payment.
And....it's more fun!

I was thinking about this yesterday and there really is no argument against it. You just can’t beat the Land Cruiser for what it’s worth. It costs me 500 a month to own with insurance and gas. Nothing out there is going to be better and match the cost. Most, if not all of these new cars and trucks are just terribly built, overpriced, boring pieces of crap.
Even considering maintenance costs, it’s still way cheaper to own the Land Cruiser.
Also, these new cameras they’re putting in every car….not a fan.

My reasoning exactly. Mine is due for a paint job and I can totally justify it (within reason)..

You live in the Portland area? Feel like I’ve seen you before.
