So the 2024 Land Cruiser has been revealed.
Based on the Prado, it is basically a 4Runner in LC trim.
2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Is Cool, Affordable, Honors the Original
There was a mention of the next-gen 4Runner in the article. What does it mean? Not too sure, but it is obvious there will be three extremely similar vehicles in Toyota's lineup if we get a 6th gen.
Personally if I had a choice between a 4Runner and a Land Cruiser at very a similar price point, I'd probably go LC, but I won't be buying a badge for a few thousand more of my dollars.
From the C&D article:
So where does this leave the 4Runner, which is built at the same Tahara plant? We asked Toyota PR Connor Hoffman just that. “Well if you look at pricing and trim levels across the grades, this is a more simple grade structure, it starts in the mid-50s, so you can piece together the answer from there,” explained Hoffman. “Obviously the 4Runner is super important in the North American market. In terms of the next-gen 4Runner we don’t have anything to announce right now.”
My interpretation of that statement is that there WILL be a 6th gen and there will be several more trim levels starting below the 50K level. The base 4R must come in at a similar starting MSRP as the current unit.
