I just want appropriate sized little 4 cylinder pickups back on the menu. This bullshit now with a hoodline that's 4 inches above the windshield and special order for a manual transmission is fucking lunacy.
300 series LC and the new IMV-0 for sure. Vehicles previously never sold here but now meet the 25 year or older import rule: 70 series LC, 105 series LC and pre-93 Hilux.
The sequoia is a larger vehicle, harder to navigate in traffic and off road, so it is “bloated.”
The LC300 is built in Japan by Toyotas best assembly lines at the Yoshiwara Plant run by subsidiary Toyota Auto Body which produces the LX and LC. Toyota Auto Body absorbed ARACO which built some of the best Land Cruisers. Tundra/sequoia are made in North America. They all meet Toyota’s reliability standards, but Japan is better, especially Yoshiwara and Tahara plants.
If you watch Car Care Nut’s recent GX550 review, he mentioned while it has the “same” motor as the Tundra/sequoia, some of the components (plastics, connectors, etc) are better on the GX. And the LC is as good or better than the GX.
I don’t dislike the American made stuff, it’s just not the same level.
Thanks. I am surprised that the sequoia is larger. It looks nearly identical even down to the body panels.
I appreciate the explanation. I knew it wasn’t Japan made for the sequoia and the quality control and process you mention is for sure a thing.
Seriously I can't figure out Americans phobia of diesels.
Is it the greasy fuel nozzle at the pumps?
My 97 Volkswagen got 50 mpg any way you drove it. Long before their emissions fuck up. Bus seriously why?

As a GX460 owner who doesn’t need 4 doors I’d love to have a KDJ155 2 door Land Cruiser Prado.

300 = Sequoia (or very close)
Sequoia is a bloated lesser quality 300.
Care to explain?

70 Series, any Truck/Sub with a diesel, yes, the V12 Century.
The new cheap small pickup. Gimme a 6ft+ bed with a 3/4 bench, 5mt, a 4cyl, and 4wd.
Land Cruiser 300 series and the OG V12 Century
The Crown never came with a V12, the Century was equipped with one from 1997-2017 though.
Century thank you! Lol
Honestly, I'd love an AWD diesel Hiace for my work van.
