While this is my favorite stateside, it's quite depressing that an Aussie can walk into a Toyota dealership and order

Is it because of compliance with US regulations that we don't get them?

I have a few theories. On the 70 series Land Cruiser, the truck is DOA because of the Chicken Tax (I'll vote for anyone

The interior room is the worst in its class sadly. They really screwed up in the

I like the redesign way better. You do sacrifice interior space, but gain ruggedness and durability from the new

We loved the previous generation sequoia and were excited for the new generation

I understand that the Middle East accounted 50% of sales of the last Gen.

The main difference with old and new is they swapped the fold flat rear for improved towing and off road performance.

I’ll never unsee this for the new 4runner.

I haven't checked used prices, maybe you can't get one for $50k yet? But at $90k for a top trim GX550, you should be

For what they do, how about just getting a Quad-Cab TRD Tacoma and have a pickup bed to haul stuff around in?
