>used to be a workhorse 4x4 based on military vehicle>became expensive and luxury orientedRuined by americanssame with the landcruiser
>same with the landcruiser>4 cyl engine>space sapping nickel hydride battery when ALL of their competitors use lithium>space sapping solid rear axle when the defender uses an IRS and handles just fine off road>not enough space for americans>still fucking 70k without powered seats>90k for the v6 ("lexus gx")
this is fucking ridiculous, even the 30 year old used ones with 400,000kms are like $20k
>>28733433>>used to be a workhorse 4x4 based on military vehicleI immediately thought of Hummer
>used to be a workhorse 4x4 based on military vehicle
>>28733447keeping up with the joneses reaching hitherto unheard of levels during and after covid, combining with these people being able to see what their model sold for halfway across the planet instantly on their phones meant that you could kiss goodbye to moderately priced examples in general.i still remember gumtree 2018 seeing land rover perenties going for 6k for a decent one. just two years later and they were now upwards of 25k
>>28733447mining companies in canada can buy these and they eventually sell them off. but they are all rusted to shit
i think the german army just uses vw amaroks now
>>28733433they were building luxury versions a solid decade before they were even available in the US, obsessed eurotrash.
>>28733433Boo hoo faggot. We bankroll your entire military anyway.How about this, we stop paying for Eurocucks defense and you can have your dumb box vehicles back.
>used to bestill areit's not Mercedes or Toyota that cucked - it was us + eu overregulation>forked production into luxury (w463) and military/utility (w461)>still available for purchase in current_year after 43 years (via africa sales division to avoid eu regs to civilians)>still producing replacment parts, drivetrains, and body panels>forked nu_g into basic military/utility (w464)pretty basedthe FJ70 tooin the us there are plenty of loopholes if you really want one. just don't go about trying to resell or import for others. i know a handful of people irl that have fj70s + w461s titled properly and insured.
>look up 3rd world prices for the Hilux>40,000 USD for the least-pozzed 4x4>look up 3rd world prices for the LC Prado>last generation with non-pozzed drivetrain was pushing 63,000 USDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>28733661This. It's embarrassing really.
>>28733438The J250 is a Prado; not a real Land Cruiser.
>>28734375totoyotata gives their models a number>40, 60, 70, 80split happends..>90meh cruiser>100landcruiser with meh>105landcruiser since its an 80 with ac and cruise>120meh, split is made clear, land... lets call it prado only some places call it landcruiser and make no sense out with with more models of while still continue to to make the buttold 70 landcruiser
>>28733481I stopped acknowledging that brand when the h3 came outthanks obama
>>28734312>call Mkbewe>ask him to buy w461>immediately buy it from him>ship back to eu>legal to register?
>>28733481Whenever I think of a hummer I think of your mom...
>>28733433>same with the landcruiserI can get a land cruiser with a d-4d 3.0 diesel for around £6k. They're very much obtainium. Just check for rust.Cheapest G-wagen is £17k.
HOW COULD AMERICANS DO THIS?
they don't even sell the landrcruiser in america
