Anybody that has driven or worked on both the 100/200 and 4runner/Prado will tell you that this is largely true. The bigger 100/200/300-series is in a categorie of its own. That being said, this time around the difference will be less big being that they all will share the same basic TNGA-F platform. Although the platform strength can be gauged up or down depending on vehicle needs. For example the TNGA-F on the new Tacoma is less robust as the TNGA-F on the Tundra.I dont know if this is true or not, maybe someone can correct me. Isnt the prado much less overbuilt than the bigger land cruisers (100,200,300). I hear the drive components like the cv axles, tie rod ends, etc are much less robust and is more comparable to the 4runner. with this new shared platform will components be the same as the lx600 (300 series)?
