300 Spy Pictures (2 Viewers)

Side mirror sticking out of the door looks ridiculous. Were they going for a Ferrari look?

Especially that the black triangle where mirror normally mounts is still visible.

You can see some 200s still in the back

How could a 3rd row even fit with those door dimensions?

Indeed, split tailgate is gone, what a shame. And it's not pretty for sure, the front is garish.

Between the above and turbo V6 - case closed. Glad I stocked up on 200-series. Could not care less now if Toyota brings the 300 to the U.S. or not. Though they surely will as Lexus.

Just like 80-series was special (last of the old-school Cruisers with SFA), so will 200-series remain special (last of V8s).

Because the LC had such a long, historic ride with the gasoline V8...

Of two whole iterations.


Does this stuff help you guys sleep at night? The 3UR has been behind the times for a solid decade.

Not the new land cruiser. These are of the Toyota Sienna.

My bad gonna delete

The LC300's interior was partially leaked a month or so ago.

You can clearly see Multi terrain select button, DAC + CRAWL button, turn assist and center diff lock buttons and electronic transfer H4 and L4 switch.
Let's be patient, official launch must be before the end of april I think.

And it had an even longer and more historic ride with a petrol straight 6.

And your point is?

I could care less about history, legacy and other bull****. V8-equipped 200 is just a great truck, and IMHO better than a V6-turbo one.

Of course it could be improved in several ways like weight reduction via aluminum panels, direct-injection for fuel savings, HVAC separate from headunit for reliability/simplicty, headunit with Carplay/Android Auto, lockers from the factory. That would make it damn near perfect, alas it wasn't meant to be.

This picture apparently shows a base-model. Note the bumper does not extend as low. The white/black trucks seen in other pictures must be Middle Eastern versions with bigger/lower front ends/reduced approach angle. There is a gaudy looking body kit fitted to some Middle Eastern 200-series as well.

Probably throwback to the 60-series

To-date, nothing has better styling than the 60 series.

Ha, never noticed it on the 60-series. I think it wears it better.

You said it will be special because it's the last V8. There's nothing special at all about a Land Cruiser with a V8.

You've never driven a v6 TT LC, so you have no idea.

Exactly my point! Now that's history.

These 300-Series threads are comedy gold.
Has Toyota ever made a legitimately "bad" Land Cruiser?
Everyone, cool your tits. It'll be great all while being a bit boring from the factory, like most Land Cruisers.

Powerful NA V8, even if somewhat antiquated is very much "special" compared to a turbocharged V6. Re 300, driven enough turbocharged vehicles to know I don't want one. Peace.
