100% agree. And you are correct...if Toyota knows they can add a few hundred dollars worth of goodies, give it a special name - they know they can mark it up and make even more money.

The iForce logo is possible, but the odd shape and color of the logo, to me, it looks more like the trailhunter compass logo.

Looking at the back, what do you think the badge in the lower right says? On the GX it says GX 550 but on the LC, the text is in a different spot. So I'm assuming that is where the model variation would go. V4, V6, TRD, iForce, MAX, SE, 4x4, TRAIL, PRO, GR, V8, NO3004U, #AUTOPIAN, V12, XLE...

I agree - probably not. But I was also referring to the crease above the LC text and even with the taillight. The sheet metal does not look like 1 piece - and if it wasn't a split gate - you would likely stamp it as 1 piece.

Any chance this is a split tailgate?

Is it wrong that I kind of enjoyed that whole exchange? It was a nice distraction for a bit. Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

The 4Runner is going to be a SUV version of the Tacoma, being built in the same factory (freeing up production for GX/LX/LC) Basically, what the Tacoma looks like will be the 4Runner with slight modifications. The Land Cruiser is going to be a similar to the GX but Toyota; similar to other...

Thanks again Carmaker! I wouldn't put too much stock into Richie (or any others) because many of their comments are void of actual content. It's usually just something snarky without any actual information. Most of us can see right through it. When you say Lexus LX update, any chance it is to...

Now this is getting exciting! Thanks again carmaker for sharing information over these past years - appreciate it.

While not the 4runner...does this change anything if Toyota does bring back the Land Cruiser 300 to the US? Reported on Carscoops.com: Images of a Toyota Land Cruiser spotted in the U.S. wearing Illinois manufacturer license plates are fueling speculation that the iconic SUV might be gearing up...

Thanks carmaker! I was waiting for you to chime in.

This. So much this.

2025... well, that is disappointing. For some reason I'm not surprised. Carmaker, will we see the GX as a 24 or 25 model?

I can't remember which thread, but "carmaker1" said it would become more of a dedicated of roader in the next generation. I'm assuming more like the Land Rover Defender. That would be awesome because the Defender is on my list since the GX and especially the LX have such an ugly grill. (IMO) He...

Looks great!
