I told you all so

Depending on what part of the world you are in. The Land Cruiser 200 comes in regular suspension, KDSS, and the same adaptive variable suspension as the LX570 (U.K. Land Cruiser 4.5 diesel). There are v6, three v8 petrols, and one diesel. Three different transmissions.

Won't confirm or deny the Land Cruiser fogs. Every Toyota I know in the USA has gone to circle foglamps. 1st Gen Tundra has rectangle, Avalon, Lexus LS, LX, even GX. They have all gone circle. Toyota Sequoia will have a minor colour code change, something to do with red will be slightly...

I always thought the LS460 would have that service. Lexus has always been for keeping solid service records to help with resale. It still amazes me that Lexus recommends changing the LX570 key fob battery while no mention is required to the Land Cruiser. Also, Lexus recommends changing...

Does it make a difference to you? You don't really care what I have to say anyway.

The 4Runner has been one of Toyota's best redesigns of the last few years. Not much to complain about other than some solid improvements over the previous model. Same thing with the Land Cruiser 200 which was a solid upgrade over the 100.

I like the older look better, its currently the only Toyota/Lexus USA product that does not use circular foglamps. No interior pics. Its up to you if you want to wait, comments about exterior features are not allowed.

That is a great photo. And well done to Toyota 200 on the ramp index.

Does Lexus bring in the LX570. Some markets offer the LX with 18 inch rims. That's a possibility.

Where do you get your in-correct info? The GX has less cargo space than the 4runner, has less payload capacity (1625lbs SR5 vs 1260 lbs), has less ground clearance (8.1 inches in the GX vs 9.6 in the 4runner). And less not forget that the 4runner comes with an available locking rear.

I think delaying the CUV is a smart move. But they need something between the RX and GX, or move the GX to a IRS. Cadillac will very soon have a unibody Escalade model to go up against Q7, GL-Merc, and a new Infiniti. The Lexus RX is too small. (note, Cadillac will still have the large body...

Why do you feel these two vehicles? The 4runner looks good, the new Taco will look somewhat similar. From what I understand, the 4runner is a sales success.

There is no public link. Media only are allowed which I am part of, all new Toyota product that is available is in there. There is a press embargo on listing the info or pics on most Toyota's. Same thing with Lexus. For Sequoia, look for a minor towing capacity change. That was not off limits.

Wiper blades or wiper blade inserts? Lexus/Toyota has been using those new covers on the blades, always wanted to know if you have to change the whole unit.

Have you considered a 4Runner? The 4runner GVWR is right in there about 200 lbs under your old 80 series. Can handle four small kids, has a rear lockers, and up to 1795 lbs of capacity which goes a long way if you are doing extensive modifications.
