I've heard the new Land Cruiser is targeted at the Wrangler Rubicon and Bronco Badlands level trims and that Toyota only expects to sell about one Land Cruiser for every three 4Runners.Just yesterday in another thread I said that to me the LC is about quality, craftsmanship, comfort, capability, and reliability. Comfort can be subjective depending on the generation but the 100 and 200 series definitely checked that box as they moved up market. As for reliability, pretty much any Toyota has a reputation for being reliable.
So that leaves the last 3 traits which IMO are the pillars of the Land Cruiser. Quality, craftsmanship, and capability. It’s Toyota’s Halo vehicle and I hope the new one we are getting here in the states is treated as such. If it turns out to be this Wrangler/Bronco fighter then by god make it then best damn option in the 4x4 segment. Don’t skimp on anything. No compromises and no BS.
Compared to the below annual 4Runner sales, that would mean they expect to sell 40,000 to 50,000 per year. It seems like they may be underestimating the market.
