This video has not changed my mind about wanting the 1958 spec. It looks great and I was happy to see the 1958 edition doesn't have those running boards I saw on the higher trims.
FWIW, this week I got in touch with the dealerships where I'm on waitlists to see if they know anything new. The best one of them could tell me is the "release date is late spring."

My dealer has been similarly tight-lipped. Doesn't seem like they really know anything yet.
Wow. That guy doesn't know much about vehicles. At least not the Land Cruisers. "The 200 was suburban size" - it's smaller than a Honda Pilot. "It has 17" rotors" - no. it has somewhere between 13 and 14" rotors. It's boxy kinda like the GX. It IS the GX. "the roof structural stamping is for head room" etc. I think almost every fact he states is wrong. Better to just watch on mute.
Damn straight he has skin in the game. I’ll know I can buy lifts and whatnot from @cruiseroutfit if I end up buying an LC250. That is one guaranteed order for Cruiser Outfitter.
Keep up the good work Kurt.
When we took our North American 100 series to Belgium, we had to install a rear facing red light to indicate when the fog lights were on. Kinda silly, but it was a requirement to get the vehicle "legal" in that country.
There was quite the inspection process as well and it was repeated yearly. The shook the vehicle to look for worn shocks and bushings, put in on rollers to ensure the brakes were working properly on all 4 corners and verified that your lights were properly pointed. Few, and I mean very few people, drive vehicles from 1999 in Europe and especially with 250K+ miles on them. Our vehicle passed with flying colors and held up exceptionally well on the crappy roads in southern Belgium.

Yup, I’m so tired of these influencers. They just influence stupidity and/or ignorance.
This is the Middle East mid grade version
So this will be the one you will most likely find at the dealer or on the streets of the GCC.
They usually import Middle grade Prados more than higher spec ones because the higher spec one overlaps with LC300 pricing
That said still expect to see first edition Prados as well over here.

Thanks for sharing these.
I wonder if the pre-production models showing in the U.S. right now are derived from Middle East production runs.
No.
My kingdom for a 1958 edition with steel wheels in this country! Thanks for the pics, I'm glad to finally see a photo of a round headlight-ed 250 in white (which is what I'm hoping to buy this year). Do you happen to know if the GCC Prados are using the same paint colors as were announced for the LC250? In which case this would either be Icecap or Wind Chill Pearl...
Having seen the front end in daylight (thanks @Brown98LC !), or at least not completely glistening showroom/autoshow floor, I'm kinda torn between the round and the rectangular headlights. They both look good, but different.
Same colors but different names
This specific one I'm guessing is probably super white 040
+1
As a light nerd, I'm interested in any output/performance differences between the two headlight configs, if any.
The new 2024 Prado 
The hitch type is optional and could vary based on country even in the same region of spec (for example even amongst gcc dealers you will find spec differences)
Some without
Some pintle hook
And Some have the US style tow hitch.
It depends on the dealer order of said country.
