200-series Pinnacle of "Land Cruiser" in the States?

[777Gage]

About a month ago I bought my wife a new 4 Door Rubicon - she's a Jeep girl, which is fine by me. I've had her in a lifted Sequoia, and 2 4Runners, she doesn't "love" them. She likes them when I fix them up, but she's always wanted to get back into a Jeep, which is what she drove when we met 24 years ago.
But just this very morning, she's got a drive 2.5hrs down to Oceanside and she asks to take the LC, because it's more comfortable and quiet, especailly for her coworkers. And any time we go on an extended trip she wants to take the LC.
Don't see my self ever getting rid of this LC, it's everything I could ask for, and boy I don't drive my 40 much now that I've got this modern one.

Looking forward to whatever Toyota brings us and I'm hoping there's some slight tie in to the past history of the lineage. I always find that unique that they care about that stuff.

Yep and yep. In the last month, I've been told 3 or 4 times...when you are ready to sell, give me a call...nope, my death arrangement is to be burned up in it Viking style. Love this rig. And the wife, gets a GX every couple of years to mall crawl, rim scrape, door ding, grocery get, drive through street flooding, and drop crumbs in between seats and console. But every time, we are going places together she requests...Let's take the "Ghost" (the 200).

Exactly, I keep momma in a lease and trade out every 2-3 years, that's the plan for the current GX and likely the next. If we are on a road trip or going anywhere beyond an hour from the house then the 200 gets the nod every single time.
