holy fucc
>$65k starting price plus tax plus tariff plus tip
youre getting the 4 cylinder version
Surprised they are going to do this since it will cannibalize tacoma, 4runner, and nue land cruiser sales. Unless they plane to make them fuck huge expensive.
>>29145489If it's a four pot diesel I'm game.
finally we can see what a 70 series looks like slammed on its guts with 30 inch wheels
>>29145492I think the neon brodozers will be more spectacular
>>29145492Retarded, like a Rockcrawling Ferrari.
>>29145470I think this is fake news anons.I could only find one article about it which is also the source of OPs picture https://www.corgrit.com/comprehensive/view/the-toyota-land-cruiser-70-series-is-finally-coming-to-the-u-s----dot-and-nhtsa-sign-offThe article says "the vehicle now has the green light to hit American roads starting in late 2025" and it's late 2026 already.
>murricans finally get Landcruisers>it's nu-Toyota
>>29145490Nobody will buy one. Some people say they want one but they haven't actually driven one. There are people who won't buy a Tacoma or 4Runner because they're "slow" but they think a third-world farm truck is going to be fun some how.
>>29145606I bought a tacoma since it was the only body on frame manual at the time that wasn't made by chrysler. I don't care about acceleration. If my truck gets totaled out by some retarded woman rear ending me while she doomscrolls on the highway, I would consider a 70 series.
>>29145606ill have you know the v8 landcruiser makes an earth shattering 200 horsepower
>>29145489>>29145491The USA is very unlikely to get the 1GD. Most likely you will get the 1GR or 2TR
>>29145635>1GRI would be fine with the 1GR. It was a good engine. A shame not getting the diesel variant though.
>>29145470You guys are gonna be disappointed. They're not a lot of trugg for the money. You're better off just buying an older FJ80 or something.
>>29145470the problem with the 70 series is that while it would be a vastly superior light truck to anything else, toyota already makes money hand over fist with the tacoma and they wouldn't supplant it in favor of the land cruiser>the wrangler is the only current production light vehicle with a solid front axle>the preference for the comfort IFS provides is ignored entirely because the wrangler's design is desirable and not having a solid axle would completely disregard the wrangler's iconic design and purposewe can get into it over vehicle import laws and regulations such as CAFE and safety, but they mean nothing in comparison to the above facts
>>29145640They aren't as great as they are hyped up to be. Even in my country where these new diesels come without DPF, SCR, EGR and diesel is cheaper than gas. Gas still has a strong following because the common rail system is just expensive as hell when something goes wrong. Can buy a whole long block for the price of a high pressure pump.Dealerships also try avoid bringing in GDI vehicles as well.
>>29145646This. The Tacoma is built totally around American sales. Which is why they didn't simply refit the Hilux to be sold there which would have been significantly cheaper in R&D
>>29145613the v8 diesels with aftermarket exhausts sound fucking amazing
>>29145613That's fine, even more so if it's a diesel since oodles of torque.
Just a few quick revisions and then it'll be ready for the American market....
>>29145663GMC topkek looking ass trug
>>29145662I don’t think you know what oodles means. Oodles over here in the real world is 1000+ lbs
>>29145663they'll do it too, they'll shrink the entire bed down until you can't fit a spare in without dropping the tailgate, and then they'll make the grill the size that everyone wants the tailgate to be. Also, they won't use round lights and definitely nothing easy to replace because we decided that's what Nazis use, and instead make beady little slot looking Asian-double-eyelid lights with terrible coverage. Also shrink the bed further to make a supercab version and let this be the version they sell so retarded moms can LARP about owning a truck while driving yet another crossover.
>>29145650>Which is why they didn't simply refit the Hilux to be sold there?
>>29145663lol burger clown big mac double ass patty trug
>>29145751zoomer obviously didn't remember that they did sell Hilux here until mid-1990s when it was replaced by Tacoma which was more designed for USA market and didn't necessitate chicken tax evasion cheat tricks
>>29145613There is no practical use for more than 200 horsepower
>>29145508>reversed portal axlesALL MY WAT
>>29145470fake and gay
>>29145760You have no dick.
>>29145754>>29145751Oh because they sell the hilux in the USA today. My point still stands that they don't just refit and sell the Hikux to the US consumer.
>>29145754>sell Hilux here>replaced by TacomaESL hidden boss
>>29145739Oodles for a small truck is 500+ lbs.
>>29145754The 80s Toyota Pickup was the exact same trugg as the Hilux. America just got different engines.
>>29146010US models after 1982 got independent front suspension while Hiluxes in other markets retained a solid axle.
>>29145751>>29146010picture shows an 85 model. US Toyota pickups that year had the 2.4L engine as the only offering.
>>29146013wasn't 85 the first year for that though?
>>29145767But enough about you
>>29145760As a blanket statement, that is retard talk. But specifically to the LC70 I would agree that in the range of 200 is sufficient if you want to pull the aussie limit of 3500kg. If you only use it as a pickup or a payload truck you can get away with less which is where the 1HZ comes in, in shitholes ans is a much better engine for thirdies like me.Even the 1GD replacement is only 205 if i remember correctly but that comes at a cost with the fuel system being less robust.
>>29145763More upward travel I'm guessing, kinda like having leafs under the axle
>>29145747Dont forget, taking out as many leaves out of the leaf pack as thry can to reduce the payload to around 1,000 lbs and call that heavy doodie.
>>29146088Checked, but this is a fake headline.
>>29145470Damn nice, I wonder why Toyota didn’t continue the 80 series platform instead.
>>29145553Oh, damn what a shame.
>>29145646>the wrangler is the only current production light vehicle with a solid front axleThe Ineos has a solid front axle too.
>>29145663SOVL
>>29146331>ineos grenadier, a defender 110 clone>light vehiclethe g-wagen would have been a better example but I believe the solid front axle was replaced with IFS a few years ago
>>29145470>solid front axle Toyotas are backThis is legitimately good news, finally some real competition to a jeep
>>29146496They serve two different purposes.
>>29146496You find those steel seat inserts on your wheels yet dogfucker?
>>29146451>>ineos grenadier, a defender 110 clone>>light vehicleThe Defender is/was a light vehicle. Even the 130 HCPU is considered a light vehicle even under euro regulation. You can drive them on your standard license.
>>29145470Neat but no one will buy them because we don't fit inside them.
>>29146930More space than the original defender.
>>29145490It'll have tiny niche sales, at least 90% of the people that claim to want one can't afford one even remotely. The ones who can (diehard Toyota fans) will pay the premium and I guess that was enough for Toyota to bother paying for testing and presumably some minor changes for an existing vehicle. The novelty of them might boost the brand at large and sell more tacos and shit
>>29146930theyve got just as much room as an fj
>>29147190This is essentially correct. As someone in the US that would gladly pay 60-70k for a 79 series, most people clambering for them seem to be people that wouldn't actually want to/be able to pay that much for a utility-focused pickup truck, or don't understand what type of vehicle a 70 series actually is and what they're getting into. They've also downgraded all of them to the turbo 4cyl like every other vehicle already sold in the US, and they definitely would not be a diesel engine here, so the engines these things are known for are in the past. The time for a vehicle like this in the US was 20-30 years ago, and Detroit/auto lobby made damn sure that didn't happen.
>>29147216The only FJs we fit inside are the FJ cuisers. People bitch about how small the Tacoma is and how the seats are too low to the floor to have their legs hang straight and that they stick out in front of them like sitting in a car. Its why all our trucks are tall pigfat blobs with the floor 6 inches off the ground. So we can sit in the seat like its an office chair. No fucking way 70 series seats will be tolerated.
The US market cannot handle this.
>>29145470Gay ugly slow
>>29146451>the g-wagen would have been a better example but I believe the solid front axle was replaced with IFS a few years agoYes, which is why I posted the Ineos. Australia also gets the Suzuki Jimny and the Toyota LC70 which compete with Jeep in the solid front axle space.
>>29145470>overpriced, costs more than a fucking raptor>performs like shit, even worse than it did in the 80s somehow>world's worst ride quality >hasn't been reliable in 15 years>still haven't fixed the track widthwhy do yanks like this thing again? just get a ranger/hilux/navarra ffs
>>29147953>just get a ranger/hilux/navarra ffsThat's the whole point, we can't. Light, durable pickups with diesel engines are not a thing in the US anymore. Hell, you can hardly get a single cab truck here anymore. I'd love to have a diesel D-Max, Hilux, or like an old GQ Patrol/Maverick, etc, but we can't get vehicles like that here because tradesmen and farmers wouldn't spend $100k on whatever junk Dodge and Ford are putting out if they could get the work vehicles Australia and the third world has.
>>29148008We seem to be getting plenty of work done without the gay ass sissy trucks to be quite honest, most powerful country on earth and space, the moon and mars
>>29148008you literally have the ranger and the navarra/frontier you dumb fucking mutt>>29148014>lost every war since it's inception award
>>29148015What country are you from?
>>29147953>>29148015it shouldn't surprise you that the people who want that thing have never shopped for a truck in their life let alone owned one.
>>29148022>>29148023I literally just told you that you can buy a proper truck you nigger, quit acting like you cant
>>29148029Which country are you from?
>>29148034you first thirdie :^)
>>29148015>you literally have the ranger and the navarra/frontiergassers both, no single cab long bed option for either, Frontier is the only one with a non-turbo engine and the days are numbered on that too. I get what you're saying, but it's a false equivalency.
>>29145470niggas will do ANYTHING but get an f150 kek>>29148015nobody wants your thirdieslop when you can get a full size crew cab with a v8 for less than a lawnmower engine plastic shitbox from bumfuckistan
>>29148036Stop replying to the guy that fucks dogs, please.
>>29145663Where da 22" rymz at tho!?!?! Be so for real for real
>>29145635>>29145640There is zero chance they will ever sell a vehicle with the 1GR-FE again. The 4Runner was the last of the GOATs. It will be given some brutally cucked nu-4 cylinder turbocharged shitbox engine.You are not allowed to have anything nice.
>turbo charged inline 4 with AI tracking every eye movement and shutting it down
>>29148036United States, you’re from the third world, that’s why you won’t say where you are from
>>29148096>cuck braceohnonono do dogfuckers really?
>>29148008We had a diesel colorado and no one bought it. No one bought the diesel half tons either. The niggercattle that buy new cars buy ones that have a big screen and have the good gas empeegees the environment craves.
>>29148096got any alloys for that jalopy dogfucker
If they did sell it here it would the 5-door UAE spec one and would probably be sold in small numbers for $100k like a Gwag for white people
>>29145470There is already tons here, with the occasional one that somehow got registered on the road...https://www.ensindustrial.ca/land-cruiser-specifications
>>29148269all are the 4.2L I-6 with the 5 speed manuel
>>29148261I like the magpul braces, nice and light and I don’t have to fill out paperwork to cross state lines with it>>29148264Yeah I got a set of new 35s and a set of axles for it just waiting for cavfab to drop their belly pan kit
>>29148269>>29148270Why's a company from the land of the trucks importing jap scrap?
>>29148543They’re purpose built for underground mining, we do jeep ones as well, they get taken underground in pieces and reassembled in underground mechanic shops, when the mine closes they’re usually left underground, I should go find one and take it out piece by piece
>>29145663Needs giant wheels on thin rubber band tires and a tiny windshield to see out of
>>29148530did you notice the steel wheel nut seats on them
>>29148269>>29148270>>29148553Yeah companies love them because they're cheap and durable. Company here in Ontario imports them and modifies them for the local mines, they last like 24 months before they're too beat to work. Apparently they tried with all the other offerings but they were either too large to get around in the mines or they broke down within months, even Rangers were no good. They govern them all too so they can't do more than 30-40kmh.
>>29148553I thought wranglers were unreliable?
>>29148713they are, which is why companies import and spend money modifying 70 series Toyotas
>>29148269looks cute
>>29148713Says who? They put diesel engines in them and put leaf springs in the back instead of coils
>>29148046>niggas will do ANYTHING but get an f150 kekmost of /o/ has been brainrotted by 15 year old top gear episodes
