You made a great call moving into a Highlander. Frankly, for the miles we drive on paved roads, fuel economy and maintenance costs should be more central to our decisions. I agree with the earlier post Highlander will take you to 99% of the destinations that an LC or a G wagen will. BTW, this...

Agreed. I have a 4 door Rubicon and I can attest it is on a whole different level when it comes to ease of driving off road. Even the road manners have greatly improved for the latest model year. It is a great package.

Some G wagen forums have reported the rust issue on the G was mitigated on the second generation 463 (2019+) models. I believe the first gen 463 (pre 2019) were more prone to rust issues especially in the snow country. @greynolds how do you compare the m273 in your 2014 G550 compared to the...

Wanted to revive this thread. Wondering if there are fresh perspectives on the G wagen from the last time this topic was discussed. The m176 in the 2016+ G550 still seems to be holding up well in reliability as long as one stays ahead in the maintenance dept. Question is if this G550 is a long...

Is @ryanCA always this elitist or was this a front to make a point here? I found his comments quite negative. There are multiple vehicles for multiple use cases and Porsche Boxters are excellent vehicles for the use case they are targeted for. These are light, nimble, mid engine and supremely...

I am very curious how do these Michelin Defenders compare to the Michelin LTX AT2 tires? They are both AT tires as far as i know. The LTX AT2 seem to have a more aggressive tread but I had them on my 100 series and they rode really excellent. How do the two tires compare?

I am very interested in searching for a 70 series to import under the 25 year rule into the US. I am sure this will turn out to be multi year quest. The 25 year rule currently puts in the late 90s model year under best case scenario. Is there a sticky or a thread that captures model year changes...

Do we know how much is a new 70 series in Japan? I can't seem to get the info from Toyota Japan site as I don't know how to switch the browser to English.

Has anyone figured out what is the difference between the round headlight and the other one imply? And where is the Hybrid Max badge someone mentioned? I don't see it in the pictures other than a picture of the dash that showed the max tag

I think this is a vast improvement over the FJ Cruiser and the Prado sold in some world markets. I really like it.

Is that the 2.4 4 cylinder in the picture above?

I thought there was a Japan release of the 70 model at 5pm PDT today followed by 6:20pm PDT release of the LC250.

I understand this link below is for the LC250 release. What is the link to the LC70 release that is supposedly scheduled for one hour prior to the LC250 release?

In my head, I keep going back to the notion the 4R will end up as a retro design taking back to its gen 1 roots. They have to stand the 4R apart from the LC in their lineup. The LC as we know it is already confirmed as a GX look alike and based on that, the logic tells me the gen 6 4R will not...

Isn't the Fortuner based on the Hilux? I am not tracking this but was the Tacoma release applicable to the Hilux as well or is the Hilux a completely different chassis and model? It makes sense for the 4R to downsize to the Fortuner footprint to differentiate from the LC.
