there is a big difference. but, the 4Runner has a bit better cargo length and the exterior dimensions are very close
This is why numbers alone can be misleading, especially when it comes to car interiors.

Now that you can easily get an 80 for under 8 grand, you will probably have to drive that new 4runner millions of miles, before you break even financially.

You forgot the extra $40,000 for a 200 series 
I REALLY like this rig. A lot...

The local dealership here has 2... but they are for the upcoming auto show and can't be driven. Drooled on, yes. Driven? Nope. They have a SR5 and a Trail Edition.

Is the new 4Runner offered in diesel? I wonder if it will make it with a turbo diesel over to the USA? Can always dream.

On the ground in Raleigh
2010 4Runner Limited
43k, no third row but looked like every other option
White with tan and the 20s did not look that bad.

This 4Runner was gone when I drove home yesterday. I believe it has already been purchased. I think the new 4Runner will sell well.

I have a feeling that it will beat the Land Cruiser in sale especially the Trail Edition with all the off road gizmos found in the 200 series.

I'm sure it will. It has always outsold the LC, by a large order of magnitude.

It is 30k cheaper, you could get 2 4Runners for 1 LC.

Or I could get one 2010 Trail Edition for my  and one more 80 for my daily driver and still have money for aftermarket accessories (ARB lights, winch bumpers, lifts, etc... etc..)
