A couple drone shots from a relaxing day running some forest roads (Barker Pass, Barker Meadow, Blackwood Canyon, Ellis Peak, Rubicon Springs Rd... that general vicinity) around Lake Tahoe. This is Bear Lake.

Some shots of a big winter here in the Australian Alps (Yes, we do get snow, lots of it in certain places). Spring trails today 3rd shot.

No tint 200 are pure sex

Thanks Mate, Australian spec. Velour, no Nav, no power seats, nothing to go wrong. No cameras etc.

Tint not necessary as glass is Toyota UV spec.

If I want to luxuriate I sit in the LX. Only downside is Petrol is costing me $230 a tank. Unfortunately our prices are ridiculous and I didn't want the 4.5 twin turbo diesel, too many issues with DPF/EGR, Injectors, turbos, oil burning etc.

Wow! Never seen that level before.
Just haven’t bumped into a lot of snow wheeling pics from down under.

Yeah yours is a beauty... with sleek no roof rails too

I see lot of clear glass 200 in Saudi, mostly firemen and police sitting in them idling 8-12 hours a day in Mecca, with AC on, and officers sleeping inside... they all have rear barn doors

I really appreciate that. I looked for 9 months to find it. I wanted the very last iteration of the venerable 2UZ-FE Toyota made. With VVTI etc. Last Aussie spec examples made very close to 300 horsepower and 420nm. I didn't want the Sahara or VX trim levels as they use this plastic faux woodgrain that melts off in the Australian sun and looks like clear plastic. Would have got an LX570 but I couldn't find a decent one in my budget and I have a nice LX470 so ended up with the GXL trim. Basic, functional, reliable, thirsty but not quite as much as the 5.7.

We have a commercial grade trim level here too called the GX. Barn doors, vinyl seats and floors, steel wheels, 5 seats, bad stereo. Didn't want that as too few amenities. GXL sweet spot.

Our trim levels are as follows on the 200

GX
GXL
ALTITUDE OR ANNIVERSARY limited editions
VX
Sahara
LX Lexus

Top spec here is nearly $130k drive away.

We don't get any of your cool trucks either.

A converted Tundra etc will run you $130k too.
