2024 Toyota Land Cruiser World Premiere 📣 Hybrid Only For U.S. and Pricing Starts Mid-$50K

I know it all comes down to personal taste but personally I think boxy is hard to pull off well and I think that's where Ford has the advantage. The FJ Cruiser was a better comparison in my mind. Sporty boxy and it still looks good 10 years later. Again it's all personal taste but that's where I lean.

Yes, but the 70 series doesn't meet US emissions or crash standards, that's why it's not imported.

too bad they dont fix that and have a less urban Cruiser here. Reguardless, the 70 & 300 Series are both likely out of middle class us consumer confort zone for the Toyota brand

I think the FJ looks lie a not real cartoon car with fake plastic buldges everywhere, inside and out.

She's got what looks to be a pretty beefy transfer case, a beefy pumpkin and rear axle, 33s from factor, skid plates (standard), and wheel wells which appear designed for 35s.

Everything about this design screams off-roading. In the context of CAFE, it may simply be more practical to let the end-user do the final lift install. This thing has serious potential if coupled with a 3-5 inch lift and 35s. (basically a mega-sasquatch).

Looks like my moar door...

Fantastic, so glad to see Toyota finally brought back a practical vehicle and even enclosed it this time.

I watched a video and it was showing the back glass being flipped open. Noticed that the spoiler folds with it, seems like that spoiler would hit kayak, paddle board etc…the roof rack would have to sit pretty high for that spoiler to clear anything hanging past the lift gate.

What is the base Bronco ground clearance?

Looks like 8.3". So the new Land Cruiser tops that at 8.7"? People who actually off-road are going to mod as needed.

Looks like a mixture of the Canoo and the Van, love it!

Really disappointed it doesn't have a split gate. Wish my Bronco had one too.

Toyota engineers sat on this forum and just listened. All the bronco owners that complained about road noise, tops leaking, top noise, lack of hybrid, lack of creature comfort, and so on and so forth have an option available to them. hallelujah

it has a front disco sway bar, GOAT modes and a rear locker. 6,000 lb towing and 27mpg its giving folks on here just what they want.... even the wheelbase is close to the MoAr DoOr bronco.

let's see how it turns out and maybe it will keep folks from complaining so much about the Bronco and its simplicity.

I'll just drop this here.

Good catch! I bet most folks may not even notice that.
