2024 Toyota Land Cruiser

[Borderland]

I treat my 1911 like my lawn mower. No 5K 1911's for me.

The people I know with new tundras are getting 13 to 14 around town about 18-19 on the highway. (the hybrid version makes very little difference. Its main benefit is more power.)

Boosted motors are very dependent on your right foot to get the mileage they’re capable of

Also, just slightly bigger tires can greatly change mileage

This is talking about the hybrid pickup, but it's a fairly deep dive on the hybrid system. The new LC sounds like it's basically the same. I thought it was pretty interesting as I don't really follow electric vehicle stuff much.

Thread drift, but I enjoy watching the Car Care Nut videos. He is a smart dude, and a good communicator.

I also watch his videos. He knows his stuff .

That reminds me of a neighbor that was in CCW class with me, he was asking about carry holsters and holster wear on guns because he didn't want any on his carry pistol and didn't like my answer that shouldn't carry gun you can't live with losing or damaging because of realities of just carrying it & etc.

At first I thought he'd be carrying an expensive 1911, he has a Maserati that lives in garage think I've seen him drive it once so was thinking he might have a $5k+ 1911, but his carry gun is a Kahr so didn't understand really. He likes his possessions and doesn't want a scratch or even scruff mark on them.

Been trying to think about how to make helpful suggestion to him about it, his daily driver car is a midsize beater SUV maybe could suggest his actual carry gun be something equivalent to that and his nice Kahr live like his Maserati does? More of a BBQ gun than actual CCW.

People are goofy when it comes to guns…..

At this point I’m almost ready to give my Kahr away……

ETA - The more I think and read, the more convinced I am that a 2026 Land Cruiser will be my next vehicle.

23 mpg

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a6...-fuel-economy/

The city rating is 22 mpg and the highway rating is 25 mpg

an official EPA combined rating of 23 mpg, along with a city rating of 22 mpg and a highway rating of 27 mpg

Same article, two different highway numbers. Wonder which is right...

Don't see the numbers up on https://www.fueleconomy.gov/, but the Toyota website states 22/25/23 MPG for city/highway/combined.

Wonder what I could get with my driving habits; I am able to average slightly over 20 MPG on my 4runner. The Land Cruiser seems like it could be a decent replacement for being a daily at the very least a few more years down the line.

We were more like 16-18 on our late model 4Runner, but it was in Montana. The 80 mph on the I90 and 85-87 being the common speed sucked for economy.

Yeah, my 20 MPG is mostly around town stuff, where I try to stay below 70 MPH even on the freeway. Long distance drives, I typically average ~17 MPG.
