![]() ![]() The new Tacoma's turbocharged 2.4-liter inline-four will probably be reserved for a forthcoming 4Runner replacement. That would mean a twin-turbo 3.4-liter V-6, perhaps making the same 349 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque as the Lexus, with a hybrid model to follow later. If the new Land Cruiser Prado does cross over to our shores, it's also likely to share powertrains with the GX. But the off-road extras found in the GX's Overtrail trim, such as its chunky tires and locking differentials, would surely be part of a Land Cruiser TRD Pro trim level. This could also mean a lower base price, one would hope. Toyota-fying the GX will likely involve a bit of decontenting, as the Land Cruiser's lower trim levels would logically have less equipment than the Lexus. (We're also in love with the idea of a new FJ-style compact off-roader, but one thing at a time here.) Our illustration (top) leans into the Prado report, borrowing a hefty amount of styling from the new GX while adopting a front-end style similar to that of the Compact Cruiser EV concept, which was unveiled in 2021 and bears more than a passing similarity to the 300-series Land Cruiser. Because the Sequoia already exists as a bulky three-row Toyota SUV with available off-road-friendly bits, adding the similarly sized Land Cruiser to the mix wouldn't make a ton of sense. Instead, the role of "giant luxury off-roader" will probably stay with the Lexus LX, which shares its body-on-frame TNGA-F platform with the 300-series Land Cruiser, as well as the latest versions of the Tundra and Sequoia. It's unlikely, though, that we'll receive the 300-series LC that other markets get. So far, the only official news is that Toyota will bring the Land Cruiser name back to the U.S. ![]() However, it's becoming apparent that the upcoming model set to arrive soon won't share a whole lot with the last version that was sold on our shores. following the 2021 model year, and now the automaker has already confirmed that the Land Cruiser will once again grace our amber waves of grain. The legendary SUV was only just discontinued in the U.S. But Toyota isn't giving the Land Cruiser name much time to languish. Look for the new Land Cruiser to be revealed sometime in 2024.īronco, Integra, Supra-reviving a popular yet long-dead nameplate is nothing new in the automotive industry.We expect the new version to be similar to the recently revealed 2024 Lexus GX.The Toyota Land Cruiser SUV is poised to make its return to the U.S. ![]()
