Toyota Land Cruiser Megathread (300, 250, Prado, etc)

[Gecko]

Land Cruiser GR Sport got me crying over here 😩

~440lb weight reduction on TNGA. This bodes very, very well for everything else on that chassis!

Current Land Cruiser is about 5,750lbs, so the new one is around 5,300lbs. Pretty close to a loaded up LS 500, and that has the same TT V6. Land Cruiser 0-60 in under 6 seconds is looking possible 🤣

So actually it will be lighter than most unibody SUVs in this segment. And only 150kg heavier than the all-aluminum unibody Range Rover. The improvement in frame construction is really impressive.

The 409hp/480lb-ft rumor checked out for this tune of the V35A-FTS. Very nice.

Damn I Love it... 440lbs lighter, flat 3rd row, lower center of gravity, more odd road capability, more hp and torque

Well the good news is in 25 years I’m gonna import the GR LandCruiser lol

The USA will get Tundra with similar improvements and guaranteed higher payload and towing plus all kinds of TRD trims. That's a pretty good 'consolation prize'. The rest of the world wish they get Tundra haha.

Even though I'm still unhappy about losing the name, if it follows history, Lexus should offer 95% the same product with different sheetmetal (LX), so it's not a terrible gig overall.

from a purely functional perspective, what really makes this LC worth the upgrade, compared to almost every other new car where the upgrades are negligible, are the new more powerful and specifically efficient engines and the dramatically reduced weight.

New Toyota Land Cruiser debuts with twin-turbocharged V6 engines

The new Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 series gets a pair of twin-turbocharged V6 engines, one gasoline and one diesel, plus modern technologies to improve on- and off-road performance.

Before we go any further, we should be clear that there currently don’t seem to be any plans to bring this latest Land Cruiser to the United States. American buyers have proven much more willing to spend big money on luxurious and rugged SUVs wearing the Lexus badge, and rumors suggest the U.S. will get a fresh new LX model but not the Toyota on which it is based. We hope to get confirmation and more details from Lexus at some point in the not-too-distant future.

Interior quality looks wonderful, and to your earlier point, on par with pricing. This makes me extremely excited to see the new LX.

Holy... sh*t... IT LOOKS SO GOOD.

Also where were the people who said it's not going to be a TNGA platform? There was NO WAY that it was not going to be a TNGA platform.

Truck looks much better in the premium trim. Really hoping they bring the hybrid/BEV + weight gain for the tax incentive bracket
