    I mean, they don’t seem to be looking for snacks. This is more like a bunch of kids TPing a neighbor’s yard.

    I’m guessing that the new 4Runner is going to lean more into being a “Tacoma but SUV,” in the same way the Fortuner is a “Hilux but SUV” in markets outside the US.

    No, the new Land Cruiser (or Land Cruiser Prado elsewhere) is the GX, the 4Runner was originally the Hilux Surf, but that changed in the mid 2000s. When the rest of the world got the seventh gen (AN10/20/30) Hilux, we also got a new SUV based on it, the Fortuner. The 4Runner then became a North America-exclusive model

    If it’s any consolation, the current-gen Montero Sport comes with the same Aisin-Warner 8-speed auto as the 300 series Land Cruisers.

    This made me realize that the V80 Pajero/Shogun has been around since 2006 with only a couple of minor facelifts.

    Why does the “RS6" that Rory is recommending look like a Mk. VIII Golf?

    So basically, next to humans and cats, orcas are yet another species on this planet with the capability to be jackasses.

    Could be worse. At least it isn’t a Hublot.

    I mean, if you’re wearing a mechanical chronograph (which rarely ever go below $1,000, unless you buy Chinese), then you aren’t wearing it to tell the time.

    I mean, if you’re going for a 12-9-6 tricompax layout in that design language, then a busy dial isn’t something you’re really worried about. This isn’t some minimalist Bauhaus piece from a watchmaker in Glashütte after all. It honestly looks like just another marking on an already busy dial.

    Somehow fitting since the DB7 famously used stuff from the Mazda parts bin.

    Put up your own NGO and then hit up Toyota Gibraltar Stockholdings, the dealership which outfits these for various NGOs around the globe.

    It’s been available in many places around the world outside of the US. It’s mostly kept around because it’s what many NGOs as well as companies involved in mining, oil drilling, etc. prefer to use for on site transport. There’s a specific deal in Gibraltar — Toyota Gibraltar Stockholdings — that specializes in kitting

    Luckily the new J250 Land Cruisers we see here are only two-row.

    I mean, NGOs and mining companies around the world need to have something to use.

    Since the Prado I posted earlier might have been an unofficial render, here the 2024 70 series to make up for it.

    Hmm, got it from some regional sites, but it seems these are all renders. So we might actually get something better looking.

    It looks to be more J60-inspired though.

    True, sadly most Prado buyers aren’t exactly looking for the same off-road performance/heritage since the Land Cruiser name has long become more associated with luxury and opulence. And anyone looking to off-road or overland a Land Cruiser still has the option of buying a 70-series in most countries outside the US.

    Who also has a sim racing rig in his motorhome (not jet though, as Marko earlier stated).
