One of the reason for available 6G’s could be the weird trims and additions that only few people want. e.g. Why the Trd off-road comes with steps instead of rock rails or why there are none with real skid plates is baffling. Often the models in some trims lack the tow package, then there is no...

Love the color but in the supersonic red sport the fender flares are painted too and that looks even better IMHO. Also the steps need to be replaced by nicer looking rock rails and the front air dam needs to go.

Can't help myself. The tires look good but I just hate it when they stick out. It just doesn't look good.

No Poke! Looks awesome. This might be able to compete with the Bronco's off road. Also, no rubbing? And how do the wheel bearings and suspension handle those tires?

Looks awesome. How much do the tires poke out? I usually don't like them to stick outside the fender.

I don't think he's whining. I get it. My GF's BMW SUV feels so much better than my Jeep. You can feel it when the engine, transmission and car fit together. The BMW feels responsive and nimble and it is fun to drive. I was happy with the LC but I also don't care much about the engine, how it...

There was also a interesting comparison by "ben hardy" (youtube channel) who compared a previous 8cyl Landcruiser, the 6 cal Ineos Grenadier and the new Landcruiser 4cyl Hybrid. He mainly criticizes that the LC needs to rev up quite a bit while the other two vehicles had a much wider power band...

wow I love that color. if I end up getting a TRD off road then my color choices would be red>cutting edge>everest>blue. Unfortunately the two best colors are not offered on the trailhunter. will be interesting to see how the market develops in the next three month. I would assume that by then...

The TRD off road premium that TN Vols posted has actually only ~700 dollar in BS additions. The rest (Moonroof, Tow tech package, door edge guards and Mudguards) are either essential or at least useful enough. But yes, if you don't want any of those you will have to wait quite some time until...

Did you switch them into sport mode or was it eco mode? I have test driven a few and found them ok. Not as sporty as a BMW X1 or X3 but quite good for a vehicle of that size and on par with most SUV's of that size unless you go for a M50 or such. I actually liked very much how it drives. I can't...

I wouldn't need or want the snorkel and would actually try to remove it if possible. The snorkel does nothing for crossing water. The only real scenario that I heard where the raised air intake would make sense is driving with friends in a convoy across sandy dusty deserts. The snorkel would...

Looks absolutely stunningly good. I was wondering about that color for a while but couldn't find good pictures. In your pics it looks fantastic. I'm oscillating between a Landcruiser premium, a TRD off road premium non-hybrid, and a Trailhunter. All of them have something going for them. For...

Yeah I also like a rear wheel drive feel. However when I have my girlfriend or other people drive the car they won’t know or care that the 4high is binding on paved roads. The full time AWD seems the better option in those cases.

I have this maybe naive hope that the 4Runner will drive down LC prices. I hope that up go 10% discounts are possible when a lot of people decide to get a 4Runner over a LC. I would normally also prefer a 4Runner if it had a full time AWD in the off road trims. If I want Full time AWD I have to...

When I was test driving LC's last year in August at several dealerships only one dealership actually had MSRP pricing and even then only for 1958's. All other dealers insisted on Markups between 3k and 5k plus dealer added features. They rather had me walk away than lowering the price. At that...
