Next Gen Land Cruiser

It should be removed and left to the Sequoya, shorten the departure angle and they may have something, Would be willing to bet 70% of third row seats have been removed on 80, 100 and 200 series. Move on from the heavy anchors and now likely all the motors and electronics that come with them.

In my immediate circles, there are two (2) 80s, three (3) 100s, and two (2) 200s. All have 3rd rows and are utilized.

I typically remove the third row immediately but in our new 200 I have left it in, for now. We haven't used it, nor do I plan to but for some odd reason I don't have the urge to remove them just yet.

Those approach and departure angles are atleast as good and proly better than the 200 imo. I’d totally grab one if they come Stateside.

 

[Jurwin]

Doesn’t look like much has changed in terms of dimensions. Any rumors on how the 3rd row is shaping up? Will it still fold to the side?

No clue unfortunately.
There is one spy pic with the 3rd row seats up.

maybe it's just the lines of the rig, but in most pics it actually almost looks smaller then a 200

We will be getting the 300 series.

My guess is no panoramic roof because it would interfere with the engineering for all the off road stuff. Body flex or whatever, etc.

 

[Gazziza]

The more I see it the more I like it. Hopefully it makes an appearance state side and comes in at a much lower price than $90K!!!

We know.

The looks is growing on me. Imagine this one with 33's on TRD pro wheels. Sans the running boards.

I'm liking the darker colors on these 300s

33's? C'mon man. We need to be able to fit 34"-35" on these trucks without hacking them up. It's sad that Toyota has us dreaming about fitting 33" tires.

Why? This is such a american or jeep mentality. You don't need monster truck sized tires to go everywhere. The 40 and 70 series have been everywhere in the world on skinny tires.
I do agree though that a 35's should be able to fit without doing any cutting and such.

I was being a little facetious. Just over here in my feelings wishing 35's fit without too much hacking. I get the Toyota ethos and that you can make it pretty much most places with 32"-33" tires. Plus those are more common tire sizes available throughout the world so I get the decision making. However in the American market you have so many big players making trophy vehicles like the Raptor, TRX, Power Wagons, Tremors, Wrangler/Gladiator Rubicons, Bronco etc that run 35's with ease that I wish Toyota had at least one fun, non-sensible vehicle that they got a little creative and forgot all their inhibitions with. Again, that's very unlike Toyota and it doesn't make sense for a global vehicle but it would still be cool.

 

[Tex68w]

We don't "NEED" 35/37/40's, we just "WANT" them. I will say that a 35" tires does allow for 98% capability of most places you could ever practically go. I am facing this dilemma with the truck build right now, 37's are the lifted full-size truck standard and look good but 40's look awesome and mean but you lose a lot of practicality with that setup. First world problems lol.

Thais funny, at least I'm not alone here. If those are 33's it brings the size of the 300 back in check. Makes it look oversized again and swallows those tires up... Would be so nice to just do a mild lift and 35's and drive it and enjoy it, no armor, no bumpers, just stock...
really wants a 4runner but I'm hoping the 300 comes through, really don't want a 4runner unless the next gen is amazing, its one of these two or a defender 110... Hard to say that but kind of liking them. At least I can get 35's with semi major hacking and compromise. SUV of the year must mean something,,,

 

[Jurwin]

Lower spec LC. Notice the front bumper only has one bumper line.

 

[Pskhaat]

...but I'm hoping the 300 comes through...

Did I miss some monumental memo? 300 is dead to TMNA, no?

Sorry, not sure here, I'm just rambling on a bit.
