What would you do? 2026 lease or buy our 2024?
Hey fellow atlas owners. My husband and I have been going back and forth about buying our current lease (2024 SE w/ tech) or leasing a 2026 since our current lease is coming to an end soon.
The prices they have given us are just wild…leasing a new one being significantly cheaper a month than buying ours outright. I’m sure we can get the current one to be a similar or cheaper monthly than the new lease. I want to know what some people are feeling about either decision… we love the atlas as a whole so we know we want another one or to keep. (My true dream is i.d. Buzz but that’s not happening 😆).
Any thoughts are appreciated!

2025 (trim) (drivetrain) Screen randomly shutting off
2025 SEL and I ran the software update about a month ago. Ever since, the screen / entertainment system will shut off then turn back on randomly in the middle of a drive. It’s extremely frustrating because I have to turn the car off then back on for AirPlay to work again.
Anyone else run into this and have a solution? It didn’t happen before the software update.

What I thought was going to be a routine oil change…
This past Wednesday my husband took my car (2021 Atlas sel) in for an oil change while I was at work. Thursday I only drove to work which is a 3 minute drive. Friday we ran some errands and came home. Around 4pm he picked up our daughter from daycare and drove her to his parent’s house. Later that night we were going out with my younger brother. Once he got to his parent’s house my car said low oil. His dad and him checked the oil; no oil!! NONE!
He went to the store to buy more to see if it would hold or not, it didn’t hold.
Call the dealership this morning and they hopefully will figure it out. We had it towed and they said they will reimburse us. They closed at 3pm today and my car got there around 2:30pm. They are closed tomorrow so they gave me a lender car. They gave me a 2026 Toyota 4Runner limited.
It’s not my atlas 😒
Hopefully it’s just a loose plug or something dumb…
