How’s the Ride Quality on Pavement and Trail with Your Land Cruiser 250 Series?

Let’s talk numbers — what did you actually pay for your new Land Cruiser? With markups floating around in some areas and discounts starting to show in others, I’m curious how pricing is shaking out across trims. MSRP on a First Edition is high $70s, but I’ve heard some people paid $5–10k over in the early months. Personally I paid right at MSRP for my FE. Did you pay MSRP, under, or over? What region are you in? And what did that final “out the door” price look like with tax, fees, and dealer adds? Would be great to compile a general idea of what real buyers are spending — especially for anyone still hunting for one.

I’ve been impressed with how the new Land Cruiser rides — especially considering it’s body-on-frame with solid off-road bones. The softer suspension and coil setup feel well-balanced, but I’m curious how others are finding it over time.

Highway ride is smooth and quiet. Steering feel is light, maybe a little too light at times. Off-road, I’ve only had it on dirt roads and light trails so far — handled great, minimal bounce or body roll for how tall it is.

If you’ve had it on washboard roads, rocky climbs, or technical terrain, how’s the ride holding up? And how’s it compare to previous Land Cruisers, GX 460, or 4Runner?

Would love to hear from folks who’ve upgraded suspension or added weight like bumpers or sliders too.
