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

[gasman4u]

Does anyone take any cool trips anymore or do we just navel gaze and cry about the local product names? Who cares about branding? Gas up and GO!

As @ElJayBird alluded, some of us stuff our chewed gum into the gas nozzle before fill ups whilst demanding deference from the lowly 250 owners as @Supra Turbo demands (change your avatar back to archer btw) on the way to do cool $hit.

The J250 is what it is. Even our neighbors to the South know this and formal info from Toyota shows it is a 120/150 follow up. If they sold it here badged like this there would be clarity and in the US just a comparison
with the GX460, which it happens to lose hands down…



Anybody made stickers yet (It’s actually a PRADO!)…?

Nothing wrong with the 150 series. Sure the 4.0 liter is a bit gutless, ok for two people and some camping gear. The To my mind it's a essentially a 4 runner with full time 4wd or AWD or whatever you call it. My 2011 was stone cold reliable for the ~50k miles I put on it while in Saudi on to of the 100k it had when I got it. A friend did have a 250 and it did get better mileage than the naturally aspirated 4.0 and had better range. I was definitely closer to E when we were fueling up after trips in the empty quarter. I did drive his 250 a little bit in camp, it's not a land cruiser.
