I'm hoping the trim levels are more for those that don't need 21 way power ventilated seats rather than the de-contenting of the off road hardware and capability as mentioned in the article. It would be really nice to have a basic, well built Land Cruiser with the utility and off-road hardware...

Always impressed with the quality of your work. I completely agree, it's the attention to details that makes the difference between a truck and something special. Well done.

I agree. It's an interesting approach since Kingsley Holgate's Land Rover new Defender expedition from South Africa up through Egypt (same route) and then on to Europe up to Norway (tacking on quite a bit more) took the opposite approach. I know that Land Rover was heavily involved in the...

Agreed. He's not always correct, he certainly has his own biases, but taking that into account his opinions are very useful because you always know where he stands and what he thinks. There's no, "how does he really feel?" I agree. I value the input from users on this forum, but staff...

Jeep Gladiator Sport S Max tow package is 7,700 lbs towing and 1710 lbs payload. Jeep Gladiator Hauling Specs Buy the Jeep, buy aftermarket lockers, keep the $50,000 in your pocket for a camper and gas money to go do fun stuff. The Quartermaster will be a six figure truck in the US...

I know in Dan's video he said one of his goals was to build something "accessible" because importing a Defender or 70 series Land Cruiser was too exotic and inaccessible for most. So does that mean that these will see some sort of commercial offering of this camper conversion when you guys are...

I'm not sure how it could be any different. The 2023 Mercedes G550 is rated 13 city / 16 highway so 14 combined and is the most comparable given the similarities in sheer heft and barn door aerodynamics. Data for the new hybrid Sequoia is limited, but according to the fuelly.com website those...

Agree. They could call it the Toyolexadierover Janitor's Cart for all I care. As long as it's well built, priced right, I can get it serviced and it fit my needs, I'll buy it. And the Lexus GX certainly has the potential to fit the bill, pending pricing and full specs of course.

I'm guessing Zimm is using the Canadian configurator and Canadian dollar and Christian P. is in the US using the US configurator and US dollar.

I think the 4Runner being built in Japan is a huge plus, and I do think that has a big part of its overall quality. Having walked through some other Japanese conglomerate's factories in Japan, there's a different ethic to building there that I do think contributes to higher quality than some of...

Such as?

You're right. I forgot they moved them to make room for Tundra and Sequoia production in the US. Either way, given the number of new models being manufactured in NAFTA zone, it's hard to imagine shoving another couple hundred thousand 4Runners per year through any of the NAFTA facilities.

Given the pathetic 21.1 gallon capacity in the LX600, prepare for disappointment on the fuel capacity anticipation and hope for better than the initially estimated 17 mpg combined for the 2024 GX.

I was basically kidding and poking the bear. There are arguments from time to time about the Prado not being a "real" Land Cruiser like the new Defender is not a "real" Land Rover. Much ado about nothing as far as I'm concerned on either the Land Rover or Land Cruiser arguments. The Lexus...

I completely agree. The rumors are that the NA Land Cruiser will be based off the GX since the 300 Series is not coming except as the LX600. While some have hoped that it would be a 70s Series, that's a complete fantasy. The 250 series GX/Prado platform is the only thing that makes sense for...

Thank you very much. I've been wondering if they'd actually follow through with it. Unfortunate that it is only for buyers and not perspective buyers. Being able to look through some of those service and requirements could be a make or break for someone like me. In any case, I'm fortunate in...

I was thinking about that as well. Has anyone gotten a quote yet? The 2024 Land Cruiser for USA will be based off the Prado so it's up in the air for how "bougie" and luxurious it will be. At this point, only Toyota knows that and what it will look like. All we know about it is that it is...

EXACTLY! That would solve a lot of problems. A Wrangler Rubicon is still too small for my family of 5 realistically, and the Grenadier would be perfect size wise, but at such a cost. I've done the one ton life, and it's not for me. I need a vehicle footprint that's not measured in acres. I'm...

They're using VM 3.0 diesels currently, but soon to completely phase out. They only used the OM642 early versions of the 3.0 V6 in the US from MB under Daimler-Chrysler. The 4 cylinders were VM units.

Would probably work for a LWB G but not a SWB G. Tray dimensions are: 1x RRSTD11 - SLII Tray - 1255mm(W)X2166mm(L) Which is 49.4" wide outside edge to outside edge and 85.3" long outside edge to outside edge. Front Runner advertises a 69.4" tray for the SWB G.
