The FJ80 was handsome. Its been a spiral of worse and worse looks since then.
I think I coukd put Toyota badging on a bronco and make it look about like that.
I was excited when I saw this thread. The truck to me is a let down in looks, but that’s the the trend with Toyota since around y2k unfortunately.

You can always go with classic ones like at this place.
Basically. The LC here was a lux vehicle where ROW its a utility vehicle.
Only those stuck in the past.
I would use caution with blanket statements like "turbos are awesome and make everything better" or assuming its fear of turbo technology. My personal preference is what Toyota usually has done well, reliability. Check Tundra forums for how the new V6 TT is doing, its not pretty.
While the numbers on paper are impressive, I'm content with waiting 10+ years on the new 4 banger turbo and watching folks throwing themselves in front of a brand new design.

I'd rather have that CJ7 in the right background.
As I'd caution always assuming turbo = unreliable. Imagine waiting 10 years to buy a vehicle you want. It's what the warranty is for.
Not it the Mazda Cx-9. A turbo 4 in a big SUV turns out isn't the best long term
Mazda screws something up and that's proof that a smaller turbocharged engine is no good?
What issues? So no na engines have issues?
This. BITOG is funny.
We'll see....
4runner/Landcruiser market tend to be folks who want to drive modern dinosaurs. Modern conveniences with dinosaur powertrains. Unfortunately, that ship has sailed....and for the better.
We don't need to see...smaller turbo 4s have been a mainstay for the last 10 or so years. Look at the ea888.3 2.0 in the VWs....Atlas has them and now the only option (gen 4)...3.6 na VR6 is gone. Gen 3 had no significant issues.
Heck even modern convenience is a stretch with Toyota ahaha...getting Car Play was only a few years ago.
I'm guessing we won't see this version 4 hours away from civilization in the Sahara.
Or with a 0.50 cal mounted in the back with 20 dudes in it.
So true. Toyota does things "their way" and their definition of modern can be a bit outta touch.
