Any details on the roof? Wonder what the open air experience will be like.

Absolutely open air when you open the sunroof. Thank goodness there will be no leaking, delaminating hardtop (GX 550 shown, likely to be the same).

The LC may be cool and all that, but after driving my Bronco (a lowly Base) I'm totally hooked! I don't want anything else. When I drive my other cars or rentals, I just wanna be back in my Bronco.

Here is the latest info from the other forums:

LC250 Engines:
3.5L Twin Turbo V6 (likely, as it matches the shared GX platform)
2.4L Turbo I-4 (possible)
i-Force MAX 2.4L Turbo I-4 Hybrid (likely)

I have read that as well. The concerning rumor is that the US will not see the v6.

Curious what the license plate PMF 679 could mean? Toyota has a way of hidden messages.

Might mean something. It might mean they took/borrowed it off of someone's Honda Civic to drive it around New Mexico? Who knows.

I just thank Edsel that all the boring-box lovers who drove up the ADMs, whined about defining features(Ford should've made a fixed roof version, durrrr), and brought us the four-door car-pocalypse(Jeep, Porsche, Bronco, etc.) will have a non-Bronco option to fill their need of a motorized egg carton to recklessly bus their hatchlings everywhere in a fog of distractions--none of which will be pesky things like road surface noise, engine sounds, ambulances, or the dog they just ran over.

It looks like they're trying to cash in on nostalgia while delivering the same old milquetoast MBDS with enough changes and added electronics to make sure you can't work on it yourself.

*yawn*

The front bumper pic screams Honda Element to me for some reason. The wheel wells are meh…

Modern high strength steels are really hard on battery life!

What ever Toyota does decide to make will be tarnishing the Landcruiser brand. 15 way seats, leather everything and crawl control instead of lockers. The last successful Landcruiser was a 80 series and that was way to many luxury options.

I love my manual sliding seat!

Really excited about this; Still kinda confused about the Toyota line up. Maybe the 4Runner will just go away and eventually be replaced by the landcruiser in future generations?

The 6th gen 4Runner will reveal in Q1 2024.
