The size is perfect, reminds me of the 3rd Gen 4runner which I used to have for a little while a long time ago.
I am test driving a 460 tomorrow, that might just be what I need and fit the budget. The LC is in the unjustifiable range unless I find a decent priced barely used one. I dont believe in car loans and am trying to keep it under 45K.
Isn't the 460 sold in other countries as a LC150? Wonder what the mechanical similarities are.
Thank you all for your feedback. I appreciate your time.

The 4Runner, GX460, and LC Prado are all built on the same chassis. The 4Runner and Prado are more similar in that they're more off road oriented, but the pre-facelift GX460 and Prado share essentially the same sheet metal.
Plenty people take their GX460s off road, but it is definitely more luxury oriented.
