Eyeballing the 1958 Edition to potentially get out of my Tacoma.
So if it wasn’t the GR 300 you’re out. lol see my point is you wouldn’t be happy no matter what they brought over.
Also not blindly accepting the 250 I’ve seen it on multiple occasions.
Sad you’re not gonna feel special. But my advice is move on once again. No one is forcing you to buy it. Take your money and elsewhere. For the rest of us we will enjoy our Land Cruisers all the same no matter the series.
I wouldn’t have high hopes that this 250 series will have a “built for life” aspect because the product was built to a price point. Unlike previous cruisers which had a, “eh why not, throw a few more bolts on that piece” or “let’s beef up this piece to make sure it WILL last”.
Money buys quality, and that’s what the previous cruisers in the States had going for it (before the 250). We won’t have that option anymore other than having to buy used pre 2022 rigs, which will have dwindling (consumable) parts support.
We are now having to settle with a Highlander engine in a Land Cruiser. (Some minor changes, but it’s nearly the same design)

I would be happy if they brought the 300 GR because it could eventually replace the 200 as a rightful successor. Still would be mad about losing the V8, but that’s out of Toyota’s control. They can’t put V8’s in vehicles anymore.
But why downgrade to a 250?
I have a feeling you have a very shallow knowledge on what makes a Land Cruiser a Land Cruiser. Toyota gave you exactly that it’s called the lx600. But I pray you go to another brand because this is borderline insane how much you’re complaining.
There’s plenty of people who don’t want a Lexus because it’s a Lexus. That’s what made the cruiser so special lol. The absolute best build quality without much regard to cost, and then not much bling factor on the road. And many people really appreciated that.
The 250 is the 4Runner replacement, but it’s not a 200 series replacement. That’s where the 300 falls into play. (Which we don’t get)
Also, what’s with the hostility? Does this forum not allow criticizing the decisions Toyota is making? Am I just supposed to be a sheep and have Toyota pull the wool over my eyes?

the more I read...the dumber I feel.
I'm also grateful that some of these posters don't run large multinational companies...it's be like Elon on speed, mushrooms, acid and Prozac.

Like Elon, one of the most wealthy people in the world? What’s your point?
Let’s just bring a red herring fallacy into the picture. Why not.
You need to take a chill pill?
The fastest way to make more room inside your car it to loose weight and ego. That way you will have more hip room and your head will not bump the headliner.
How is wanting Toyota to keep and retain the Land Cruisers legendary status having an ego?
Ok. I was planning not to say more but chanced my mind. One very simple question:
Have you ever driven and used hard like Land Cruiser hard, a Prado ? Have you owned a Parado for +10 or +20 or +30 years ?
I asked because you seem so certain that the Prado is a piece of s*** not worth the Land Cruiser name for the LC250 (which nobody has even seen or actually used but let's not go there ).
I feel exactly the same, We finally a have a worthy successor to the 80 series; it’s been a long damn wait, but here we are.
4Runner yes, Prado no.
But if the new 250 is built anything like the 4Runner (interior wise) and because it’s in the same price point, then it won’t hold a candlelight to the 200. It’s a night and day difference for build quality.
Bring it. Many of us would appreciate a good 45 minute blab from you on the new 250 and 550.
I was thinking the same.
Actually here is your job should come. As board of directors or Land Cruiser die hard fan wannabe or whatever you must clarify for the audience that the car is not the Land Cruiser used to be in North America and it is not cheaper you should not let Toyota to use you for there advertising
Whether you love it or hate it, it's a Prado at the end, and you know what we call the Land Cruiser 70 in the GCC to make a difference and not get confused.
The size focus is a bit odd to me. The GX has more cargo volume than the LX (2 row vs 2 row). The LX vs GX numbers are available from Toyota on space, volume, etc. It's possible the nonhybrid lc250 has more volume than the 300 as well, or the other way around. I don't know if we have all the specs. What we do know is that they're very close in size. Less than 5% difference in volume, height, width, length, weight, etc. It's like complaining the Camry is too small compared to an ES. GX has almost 10cf more cargo volume than LC200.
The loss of the pass through is more important IMO than any of the minor size differences. That's a bit of a head scratcher TBH. I hope the 4Runner keeps the pass through and the rear roll down glass.
