Pics leaked (by Toyota most likely lol)
This on the 4 runner and the new “Landcruiser”, bot exterior designs are trash. The new Sequioas are the best looking modern SUV IMO. Was drooling over one that i paced driving home up the 215 today.Eh they missed the mark. The Sequoia looks great,
I have a 2011 FJ and the A-TRAC while in 4 low makes it pretty easy to walk up hills with little talent. Just drive slow and let the car do its thing. I'm sure the new ones are even better.Tell you guys one thing for sure, the Toyota rock crawling tech is amazing. We were sitting at the top of Diablo drop off in Anza Borrego recently and watched a new dead stock 4 runner, with a full on yuppie couple driving, successfully climb diablo. There were at least a dozen other rigs, mostly jeeps, that failed miserably, most couldn't even get through the sand in order to get to the actual steep part of the climb. A heavily modded Tundra made it up and said "I wish I had the cheat button like that 4 runner" Really impressive to watch, at one point the left front wheel was a foot off the ground and it didn't even spin a tire.
Since the 4Runner, Land Cruiser and GX now share a platform, there should be a version that appeals to everyoneNo thanks, but I do like the GX550
LOL To be a suburban grocery getter it needs a tent, 4 rotopax, awning and a shovel on the roof.
Yeah looks like Toyota hired some GMC Design Engineers on this. Good luck putting 37’s on that pig without an 8” Lift, lolAnd we're back to square wheel wells...WTF
Don't forget the ladderLOL To be a suburban grocery getter it needs a tent, 4 rotopax, awning and a shovel on the roof.
Lexus LX as well, has the same wheelbase as GX, although strange that as much as it's about three inches longer OA, it's specs show over 3" more narrow.Since the 4Runner, Land Cruiser and GX now share a platform, there should be a version that appeals to everyone
I had an Uber driver pick me up in a newish Jeep. Had 37s, hi-lift jack across the hood, literally every overlanding accessory you could think of was attached to this Jeep. He looked ready to go camping.
I asked him if he swapped the front axle…crickets.
I asked what gears he had to turn those 37s…crickets.
I asked him where he liked to go 4-wheeling. He said he had never been off-road, is afraid to break something…he just liked the look
I would agree on the Sequoia.This on the 4 runner and the new “Landcruiser”, bot exterior designs are trash. The new Sequioas are the best looking modern SUV IMO. Was drooling over one that i paced driving home up the 215 today.

Also....lots of the 4runner/Tacoma market wants bigger tires....not possible without a sawzall treatment on that. Why not add a bit of wheelwell clearance?
