Why? Toyota’s hybrid tech is extremely reliable & has been proven for over a decade.

The LC hybrid system kinda blows though. It only has. 1.87kWh battery in it. Really crushes my hopes of a PHEV so i can cruise around and stalk pigs in electric mode.

I’d take atrac (or crawl control) over any jeep or bronco.

It would be cool if Toyota sent 4runner back to its roots and made it a true competitor to Jeep and Bronco. Give me a 2 door removable top 4runner and take my money.

Remake the 1st gen with current gen powertrain and I’m in.

The since discontinued FJ Cruiser is bringing premiums on the used market because people like them so much.


The bubble has burst on the FJ, still have great resale but you can find nice low mile 2014s for $27-$30K now when they were $50k+ 1.5yrs ago.

If you want something badass and don't want to see yourself driving by taking Braxton to practice get ECD or one of the other Defender retromodding companies to hook you up. Plus you get to choose from a Chevy LS or LT engine.






Or get yourself a Grenadier

I might be wrong, but i think that ‘new’ Land Cruiser is the same Land Cruiser that’s been on sale in other countries for several years .

But my wife demands that her/our vehicle (not my trucks) be able to lie down during road trips. I'll probably end up with one of those 2 vehicles within the next year because of it even though on road trips its just the 2 of us and a bulldog.



I guess the YouTube set calls that ‘car camping’ now.. in my day, we called that just ‘sleeping in the car’ lol .

I have actually thought about doing that every now and then, even bought a 3 inch mat at Costco that fits perfectly in the back of my Grand Cherokee- and the seats fold down perfectly flat with lots of room, and it’s super easy to get the seats down.. i just wonder though if it’s better in theory than it would be in practice; seems like it wouldnt be bad if it’s just me and the dog, and one other person and the dog- as long as youre parked at a truck stop or somehting with easily accessible bathrooms and showers .

You think the new GX is ugly?! To each their own, but I question your taste. I have a ‘14 GX,… you can make a valid argument that the predator grill isn’t the most handsome, but the new one?!? One of the best redesigns out there. The only vehicle close is the newish Defender.

I miss my old 74 FJ and wish they'd give a nod back to that design.

I didn't say it's ugly, I said the GX is the uglier of the two vehicles IMO. I prefer the round headlight option and vintage colors on the LC.

That's a page out the Liberal handbook, any disagreement of opinion and they insult. Next, you'll call me racist if I don't agree.

Reminds me of my 2007 FJ that also got called a Mall Crawler back in the day and a soccer mom vehicle as well. That Blue sumbitch got me to places I didn’t know I could climb.
Got hit and totaled a few years ago by a drunk driver (irony in my name, I was sober) and now it’s worth way more. Got a Taco in return but still miss that FJ.

I don’t understand how they will make the 4Runner work when the Land Cruiser is now the size of the 4Runner.
