I read that Toyota sold more 250s last year than in entire decade of preceding 200 sales. So, 10x sales growth. Like it or not, it’s a hit with the car buying public.

Our '92 was mid 20s in late '91. That's mid 50s today; like the 1958. Both have no-frills trim too (which I really like). Hardly a status symbol, but upfit 80s trims soon changed that.

Yep. I grew up with a variety of Land Cruisers. I’m 51, and I’ve driven an 80 since I was 17. Driving a nimble brick from the get go surely colors one’s perceptions of trucks. I was (and still am) bummed about the 250’s capacities, but I’m pretty confident it’ll stand up to the test of time as...

Here we go again -- it's 200 o'clock. :deadhorse::deadhorse::deadhorse: Maybe just bump one of the old threads instead of contaminating yet another one?

Looks like a fine adventure. You’re winning this thread. Have you needed auxiliary fuel?

Sun visors would be useful in the Southwest. I have a lazy and reluctant lobbying effort for others to maybe mock one up.

The hybrid Traveler is compelling. Off road chops (but we'll see about flex). 2000 lb payload. 500 miles of range. Decent cargo volume. Nice configuration (tailgate, hatch). Reliability is of course unknowable, but those are top-of-class off-road touring wagon capacities and specs. A...

Good question. I’ve been wondering the same. The second generation, as I understand, corrected a few initial problems and is now (so far) reliable, powerful, and very efficient.

This forum needs a 200 series owner grief counselor.

:deadhorse:

Literally splintering the community; how sad.

The incurable angst from the 200 crowd has more to do with a loss of perceived social exclusivity than actual Land Cruisers. It reveals far more about how some people identify themselves and assign themselves self worth than meaningful differences between trucks. It's pretty tiresome really...

I think you can get one fabricated for that much too.

Beautiful day for a little photo excursion in the backyard with Mrs. Twilly and @kelly saad.
