Nice choice, the white with the black accents and upgraded roof rack are cool. We like the idea of the Hybrid drivetrain. I know a lot of people don't. More power, towing and fuel economy are all wins in our book. We have a 2025 Trailhunter on order. Can't wait.

Loving my ‘24 LC so far. Traded a 4Runner TRD Pro and the driving experience is so much better. My only observation is the wind noise is noticeable over 40 mph and the should have done acoustic glass like the GX. Also, mine also has the 1 inch gap between the rear seats like yours. I’ve seen others that align perfectly so not sure if that’s supposed to be like that or not.
