That is exactly what they did, and why they had two seats in the back. BUT, remember, it was always built that way, and never called a truck in any form by it's original manufacturer.
We're already standing on the dark street corner, feeming, most with the innate ability to irrationally and indiscriminately spend on our 'fix', so there's no point in saying the crack will make us 'extra smart' too.
Actualy I have owned many 7x series while living in Europe and I have used many 1HZ powered cruisers to haul other Cruisers around,living in the US now and my empty single car hauler weighs roughly about 3 times what my nice alloy Euro spec trailer weighs and most of the weight is distributed to the tongue of the trailer,my gooseneck weighs about 6000 pounds empty and I cruise with 2 cruisers on it at 85 mph.......definitely not gonna be able to do that with the cruiser pickup.
Apprls and oranges US trailers are build to be pulled by 3/4 and 1ton trucks ,not 7x series Cruisers!
In the same manner that there aren't many Dodge's with RPG launchers mounted to the bed, traipsing through the desert.
They've each a purpose......there's a line formed of those that'd part a matched set of testicles for the Cruiser, warts and all, that'd prolly never tow more than the second mortgage to pay for it.
This is Mud, therefore it's civic duty to state the unfounded and proclaim it true, kinda like how the R151F will never hold up to a turbo'd 1HZ.
Just sayin.....
Have any of these customers made themselves publicly known, as of yet? (Directed towards the masses....surely someone here has one in the garage, by now.)
Wonder what a build like that would cost..

Scam alert!
send checks now before SEMA 17......and you can look at the vaporware....in 290 days
So, if this is a scam and he has been scamming people for a long while now, why is anyone egging the continuation of this?
In that, if no one responds, generally speaking, the scammers go away.
I have no bone in this because I know what is being presented here--if a legitimate Toyota 2017 HZJ79--is just not registerable here in the US market without going through enough money to more than double or triple the original purchase price of one vehicle (let alone the 6-10 that the US DOT is going to require you to crash test before you can even bring the one in).
If it was doable, someone like Mr. Miller would have already done this.
Anyway, just my nickel.

I don't know how the forum moderation works here, but if a thread can be locked. This is one that should be in my opinion. It has nothing to do with the sale of a vehicle by now. Sorry for my part in saying more than I should have in this thread.

Because we are still dreaming of unicorns.
I would love to have the opportunity to test drive a unicorn. Heck, I would even like read an article by someone who has successfully licensed and insured one in the US. If he really wants to drum up interest, he should drive one around to the TLCA events.
I understand that the current 2016 US Land Cruiser wagons are selling somewhere short of 3000 units annually. I still think it's time for Toyota to kill off the luxury Land Cruiser label and let that audience buy the Lexus. Then bring in the full 70 series lineup as Land Cruisers. Unlikely to happen, but we can dream.
And dreaming is why we keep this thread alive. Are they real? Time will tell, but there are enough skeptical posts to keep it relatively honest to the audience. In the meantime we can drool on the pictures.
I get this but it has become obvious this is a scam.
This is right around the corner from me, legally. Details do apply

That looks like I need Gray Poupon and a bunch of Snow Peak gear to drive it...
... oh and $$$$$$$
Please don't kill the thread, I love the creative comments!
I am forever blown away by how badly people can ruin a vehicle with poor wheel choice. Might as well super glue some jewelry and glitter to em'.This is right around the corner from me, legally. Details do apply
