Congrats Jason! Much better than those silly hilux’s you were looking at.
Nice truck! So Prado has a rear tire carrier, a proper door handle on the inside of the rear door, an armrest type center console, and I bet you can get them with a clutch (but no V8?) Any other things the Prado has that Lexus did away with? Too bad Toyota doesn’t sell the Prado here maybe the parts would interchange easier if they did. I’m not sure why removing those things equates to “luxurious”, they seem useful to me.
I'm pretty sure the interior rear door handle is the same unless it's a different, beefed up version, on the models with the rear tire carrier?? If so, that should be an easy upgrade. So far all the GX parts I've put on my Prado are totally interchangeable. (as are many other Toyota parts of the same period)
The US version does not have a way to open the rear door from the inside like the Prado does. The Prado and GX rear door paneling and not easily interchangeable.
A few members have modified the GX rear door paneling to add this feature, however.
