While this is my favorite stateside, it's quite depressing that an Aussie can walk into a Toyota dealership and order

Yeah, those little land cruisers are awesome in the desert.

We don't even get this one, which is also a shame:

Is it because of compliance with US regulations that we don't get them?

I have a few theories. On the 70 series Land Cruiser, the truck is DOA because of the Chicken Tax (I'll vote for anyone

GX550 is still a twin turbo V6 (an engine Toyota has had issues with), and I totally agree with you on

The interior room is the worst in its class sadly. They really screwed up in the

I like the redesign way better. You do sacrifice interior space, but gain ruggedness and durability from the new

We loved the previous generation sequoia and were excited for the new generation

I understand that the Middle East accounted 50% of sales of the last Gen.

The main difference with old and new is they swapped the fold flat rear for improved towing and off road performance.

Easy winner over 4 Runner

I’ll never unsee this for the new 4runner.

Should be "which trim level do you prefer" as all 3 are the exact same car. It was awesome when the LX600 was released,

Sure buy they all look pretty different, which is what 80% of people think about

NacoCoug

Yeah, but those buyers can all look at their cute bubble-utes and buy those. For those of us who want body-on-frame

If you could really say 40K off of 2023 GX, I'd have bought one yesterday

I haven't checked used prices, maybe you can't get one for $50k yet? But at $90k for a top trim GX550, you should be

For what they do, how about just getting a Quad-Cab TRD Tacoma and have a pickup bed to haul stuff around in?
