That thing looks absolutely amazing! I had an '85 4R, sprayed dark blue w/ black bumpers. This concept hits the nail on the head perfectly.

I would expect Mudbath to show up, at least by the '26 model year. Definitely looks tidy, the way the wheels/tires fill the space. The lower spec units will probably have slightly more offset, just as on the Tacoma.

After market- the web is littered with owners installing 17" wheels on their LC250s. Wheel choice might be a factor. +25mm offset doesn't appear to cause problems. 17" SCS F5 wheels installed | Land Cruiser Forum Tire Upgrade ? | Page 47 | Land Cruiser Forum Black Steelies - test fit | Land...

Looks like 17s are being installed on new Landcruisers, which have the bigger hybrid brake package. Should be fine, w or w/o the hybrid option on the 4R.

"Lets purposely make this version unsightly so you'll go look at a Platinum"

The cloth on that TRD OR looks a lot like the cloth in the LC 1958. Could be really durable. Interesting that the lower trims have a 3-element fog light vs a 4-element on the top trims. It isn't that way on the Tacoma. Sport=matched; OR=accent/gray. Even the GX OT (non-premium) has the HUD...

Does the video answer why the t-cases don’t have a neutral position? Or why the 6-speed trans didn’t get paired with a manual J-shift case?

ONly the $68000 version will have those. Lesser ones will be colored of matte.

Unless doc fees include tax/title/license, I say no to anything over an hour of clerical work. Even then, every other business pays their costs out of their margin.

The only place where part-time 4wd is problematic is in a dry parking lot or such place where you'd turn the wheel more than ~1/2 turn each direction. where I live, that would leave you CONSTANTLY shifting in and out of 4wd for 2-3 months of the year. That said, I find it unforgivable that a...

Those power numbers are way more impressive than that strapping job- open hooks and no safety... do better.

We definitely are- wife likes the Tacoma, but the 4R fits the garage better and has better room for 2 kids + big dog. Tacoma w/ a nice truck cap is basically the same money as the 4R.

I maintain that the LX should have been built on the Sequoia’s longer wheelbase.

Hopefully cool stuff like OME HD rear coils for Prados can fit the Tacoma, just like they do between the Tundra and LC300.

Sadly, yes. It's a feature that costs money, and may not be compatible with power seat either. In a perfect part-bin world, Toyota would include that in some TRD active package.

The traditional Vacuum booster is cheap and reliable. The hybrid system can go down the road with the engine off. The vehicle needs to support braking with the engine off. More costly/complicated, but has full brake power w/ the engine off.

Hopefully there's enough room for a 35 between the track bar and trailer hitch.

Speed has a huge impact, and most of the TFL tests (I haven't watched the mpg comparison) are run at very conservative highway speeds. My Silverado can get 24 while running 55-65 (cool weather, I75, lots of construction) to as low as 18 (80mph on open freeway)

It was very disappointing when the 4R lost the multi-mode case (aside from the Limited) going into the 5th gen. I find it absolutely bewildering that the US specific trucks are denied a full-time o even auto 4wd t-case. Even the cheapskate (Custom) Silverado I currently have offers Auto-4wd...

There is exactly zero reason for the exact same power train that runs on 87 in the Tacoma, with the same power ratings, to require a different fuel grade in the 4Runner or Landcruiser.
