Ah - poking around online a bit more. So the two row LX700h has a flat cargo area like the LX600, GX550 etc? Again I've missed a few weeks of updates but saw a few recent pictures, the video above, and when I called to check in with the dealer, was told, maybe incorrectly, that I'd be stuck with...

Took a break from 'mud, looking at cars online, and everything other than work and sleep for a few weeks after putting a deposit on an Overtrail LX. Came back online, saw pictures and video of the rear cargo area and... I love the added Overtrail capability on the LX, really. But I think I'm...

I think you're on the money at 125. I'd loved to see a 'base' Overtrail at $99 or less, but with the hybrid, lockers, and AHC, I'd anticipate somewhere between the F-Sport and Ultra Luxury (so between 110/115 - 130/135)?

As Heckraiser said, 17's are cheaper, you have more options, and in addition to D rated options, you can get the C rated 37x12.5R17 BFG that comes on the Bronco Raptor. Yes, yes, its smaller than some other 37's but its taller than any non-bias ply, non racing 35, AND it is the lightest 37 inch...

I’d be happily surprised to see it at 110. With the ice F sport being 110-115, I’m thinking the hybrid trail sport will be higher. Unlike the front grill 😂.

Excited to see a 300 with lockers! Wondering what the msrp will be since the GR is only available on the hybrid, and wondering if they spec’d a smaller batter than the Sequoia (so that the third row and or cargo area are usable :).

I will race you (after getting a ton of tips from you) on v39 :). Jokes aside I really appreciate the time you are putting into sharing the details here. Great stuff.

Hopefully someone with more second gen knowledge will jump in. On engines, lower spec 2008 and 2009 Sequoias had the 2UZ, 2010-2012 some had the 1UR, but you could get the 3UR from 2008 onward in some trims (Platinum and or Limited?) and I think it was the only option from 2013 onwards. One or...

I haven't torn down an LC200 or Y62 to the extent that I've wrenched on other platforms to do a detailed comparison. While the Y62 may not be as overbuilt as parts of the LC200, it isn't a slouch (again, the US Spec Armada has some weight and $ saving changes that make it more like a Prado, in...

I haven't seen the Y63 in person, so @W4632018 - I would certainly look to @Brown98LC on this. As for the Y62, on the one hand it isn't 'that' much bigger to some ... The Y62 Patrol and US Armada have the same wheelbase - 121.1 inches while the Patrol is a touch shorter (bumper styling) than...

Agreed on pricing and the potential appeal. My ideal spec would be to get the locker from the Pro4X with a coil and spring setup but it doesn't sound like that is in the cards yet (something like the Sequoia SR5 Offroad Package but with a usable 3rd row or storage with the 3rd row folded). As...

First, I'm excited that Nissan is bringing the full Monty Patrol back to the US for the first time in a long time. As an aside, the US Y62 Armada and QX are nice, and have the same engine, transfer case, and transmission, but the front (Aluminum R180) and rear (steel R230, which I'm okay with)...

So just to circle back with a few rough numbers on long travel and stretching the wheelbase, here are some notes I found (please verify with a vendor before planning around these numbers though :)). LSK - 4.5 inches wider per side, 1.25 inch wheelbase extension Camburg - 2.5 inches wider per...

I wondered how that would work with the shorter length (and thus more exagerated angle) of a standard length arm trying to push the wheelbase forward. @MTKID - thanks for sharing the feedback from JDFab and others based on pushing the knuckle forward with the SPC's. @TeCKis300 - as I am LC200...

Ahh - moving the front wheels forward :). I might need another coffee but could imagine that being pretty pricey to do on a new portal design. On the flip side, would it be easier to do this with some fabricated stock length arms that just shift he knuckel forward one inch, or even a new...
