Toyota seemed reluctant to bring any diesel to North America and industrial companies in the US are not banging up toyota’s door to buy a road legal one like some of they did to get the 70 series retrofitted with a curtain airbag. 

It seems to be the case, our market also does so which funnily enough is cheaper the the 4wd fortuner and the prado is just overpriced. 

Toyota Tanzania may be a better bet if RHD is acceptable since TGS will not sell to mere mortals (they also sell the FJ and the old Fortuner along side the Prado, 70 series, and the ‘normal’ 200 series

not the most stripped out landcruiser though

they still do for african, middle east i believe and australian markets where the 4.5 v8 diesel is also offered.if you are a qualified organization(UN etc) toyota will also sell you an ambulance, prison van, refrigerated van conversions.

Come to think of it apart from the juke I haven't seen much of their passenger lineup roaming the streets whether on dealer tags or permanent plates. 

I read here somewhere that the old frontier is being updated in the with a new v6 in 2020 until an all-new model debuts the very next year (presumably based on the global D23 which has been pretty much been 4 cylinder only at this point and introducing the v6 in the older D40 buys them time to fix any niggles the new…

The Micra does share the platform and its engines with the juke however they shoehorned a turbo into the juke for selected markets.I think the main premise of the juke was its looks though.Like or hate the styling its a far better effort than just putting a micra on stilts

probably stage 3 of the multi-phase plan to update the frontier to its global equivalent.

well atleast toyota’s arm here has a better one

WRC just needs a new size class:

much like the toyota previa the engine has to be on its side with the rear bumper serving as the access hatch

Its probably the smaller size that’s driving the appeal... enough for UK companies to offer the conversion for the gen1 jimny

having a hilux frame doesnt make it a suv:

However the Tahoe lineup was available with those features the same as a 2wd fortuner is still a suv while the wagon above is not even though they both share the hilux platform if not use the exact same frame

I think a part-time 4wd/lockable center differential and low range is a safer bet as BoF rwd station wagons are popular in asia.

the XJ and the pajero are unibody

Now i realize why im far more comfortable in this

Inboard side facing seats do exist

Im actually surprised that toyota corporate manages to make a case for the fj in a third world country where gasoline costs 3.6 usd/US Gallon on average and has one of the most congested cities in world.
