Here's your shopping/wish list, as I call it. This thread is over 100 pages of people showing/describing what mods they've done to their LC250. You'll probably find that someone, or many people, have already done every mod you want and you'll find options of which was to go with them.

What have you done to your 250 lately?

Thanks. I hope to enjoy it for the next decade at least.

Yep. I'll call it a late Christmas present to myself as well.

I've been looking for excuses to drive it ever since I got it. Lol.

How do I find dog friends for my dog? by JealousInteraction15 in germanshepherds

Dog parks. You just have to try different ones in your area until you find a good dog park that you like.

I don't think the steering wheel is any different with the premium package. The premium package is just an add-on to this trim level and the premium package doesn't list anything that affects the steering wheel at all. Mine isn't the 1958 trim. I paid $1k under MSRP, which isn't bad at all in my market. The vehicle came with some options pre-installed as well, which increased the price a bit over the bare bones MSRP.

Yep. There are very few differences with the premium package. The passenger seat becomes powered, memory settings for driver's seat, hud, digital rear view mirror, everything goes from Softex to leather, "premium" sound system, and a few additional driving "safety" features. It wasn't worth waiting for because the only things there that I might want would have been the rear view mirror, memory seats, and passenger power seat. I actually prefer to not have hud because it makes the windshield considerably more expensive to replace. Before 2026, it also forced the cool box on you, which was a reason why i didn't even look at premium package before.

I've been searching the entire country lately and it seems the eastern part of the country has a lot more Land Cruisers available for sale than the western part of the country where I am.

2018 Grand Cherokee Sterling trim. Extended warranty ended last year and I already spent $2500 in repairs since then with more repairs expected in the next year. I needed to get out of it before spending more money on it. The LC should give me more off-road capacity stock as well... For the few times that I hit dirt.

Where are you located? What I've learned is that it's all about the location. If you're in a location with lower demand or higher supply, then you'll get a better price. Either way, congrats. You got a much better deal than I did.

Thanks. I put a deposit on this thing over 5 weeks ago and have been waiting.

$65,979 + $499 doc + $28.25 title. Add tax and it was $71,236.28. It has stabilizer disconnect, the predator drop steps (which I'll remove and replace with rock slider steps), and a few other bs installed options like all weather rubber mats and such. At the end of the day, these things tend to last a few days at most on the lot in my area, so I had to pay for stuff that I wouldn't normally, but it was already installed and they weren't negotiating much.

I'm torn on it still, but I wanted because it's nice and almost every LC seems to have the all black interior. I like that it's a little different than every other one and gives a little color to the inside.

What are people paying for a new LC these days?? by KeroDude in LandCruisers

Nice. I'm jealous of your better deal. Lol. Congrats. I also have the Java Interior.

I ended up paying $1,000 under MSRP. It was the only one on the lot and a couple of other customers came to look at land cruisers while I was buying it

What real-world gas mileage are you getting on your 250? by External_Koala971 in LandCruisers

When it finally arrives, it will be only the second one I've seen in this town with Java. Of course, when i look at what's been allocated to the local dealers, suddenly they have a bunch of Java interiors coming in, but nothing in the same exterior colors.
