New Larger Landcruiser?

Yea, thats it, that jogs my memory, that's the one.... I hope the bring the "Tundra" unit out as well not just the Wagon, so there is a longer wheelbase unit available..... We will have to wait and see... There would be a lot of people towing that would welcome that one. Brisk sales, I would think... LR

Interesting .....however the info does appear to be more than a year old, and the forecast time has come and gone.

It would be really GREAT, if Toyota would bring out the 4 door truck "Tundra" as it would have all the famous Toyota reliability and long life in the American style tow vehicle with a longer wheelbase for safety and leverage towing. In recent years they have been specializing in the exotic luxury city vehicle trends, and it would be nice to see the competitor for the American "Big Three" Ford Dodge and Chevy come out here to Australia.

I just don't know if we will get it in a big diesel... It would compete with their other sales of the luxury 100 Series style wagon that is 97% city sales oriented now, and the Bush Toyota Ute... But as I say, since Ford will not be out for a couple of years, it would sure be good to see the big Toyota "Pickup" out here as the longer wheelbase would be a big bonus for towing Bushtrackers over that 20-21' mark. I think they would do well here, but don't know if we will see them due to Marketing Strategies... We will all have to wait....... What we don't need is a more exotic luxury version, with city 18" wheels and street tyres and loaded with electronics we cannot touch, but I am afraid that is the trend due to the bulk of sales being status urban vehicles... I am hoping Toyota turns that back around with something like the Tundra with a diesel..

Oh well Fosss, it is only wishful thinking on my part... I know that.

The trend in Bushtracker vans is that people have been having such a good time, and good lifestyle, that the general trend is towards larger vans. The current Japanese tow vehicles do not have the wheelbase to handle something over 20-21' safely, in a hazard crisis on the highway at 100 kph; and it would be nice to see the longer wheelbase units here in Toyota Country....

You would not bother in the American market, with commonplace Dodge Cummins, and Cheverolet/GMC, and Ford trucks everywhere you look, because in general the larger American diesels get better fuel economy when towing doing big work. The Tundra is a fuel economy unit to take on the "Big 3" for the people that just want the "pickup style" and general transport type of vehicle. But in America, if you were doing big towing you would not bother with the Tundra for the most part, instead sticking with the Big 3. Here, now here where we do not have economical cost efficient access to the Big 3, the Tundra would do well as a tow vehicle... But because of the common use of Tojo Utes and Wagons, I doubt they will bring it in. Too bad...
