And, most new 200 buyers didn’t care about 33s or indestructible sidewalls.
They did care about noise, ride quality, safety, and yes, mileage.
Jeeps and broncos have the same regulatory constraints but are sold on an image of off-road performance.. I’d bet the majority of people willing and able to buy a new Landcruiser don’t have any clue how good it is off-road.. they just want something reliable and comfortable to haul the kids around.
Your 100% correct I bought my 570 with 0 intentions of going offroad. I live in upstate NY and need a vehicle that can handle its self in crazy snow. Also my wife was in driving my modded 430 and someone crashed into her twice so we bought the 570 for safety as well.
