May have to go with the Limited trim to avoid the black fender cladding. Will also wager the Limited will have full-time 4WD, and with a bit of luck, power running boards.

I LIKE, much better than the LC in my subjective view. Where will it be made?

Yes, I viewed this. Sounds great. However, reading some other posts, including on The Fast Lane Truck, there may be a few issues, early production or whatever.

Many will want the legacy roll-down rear window, but not me. I can testify from operating off-road in extremely dusty conditions that silt migrates down inside the sliding window area, a bad thing.
