Hi dobbo, I honestly think it will be a good set up even if it is on a toyota. Time will tell I surpose.

Can I assume that it will be only the RFS system as offiered on the Lexus (according to their website). It's a swaybar system, so it's real benefit is in ride comfort (which an LC really, really needs. They'd have to be one of the most uncomfortable cars I've ever been in).

The story I just heard from a guy that has ordered one is that It has a six speed Gearbox but you dont change into 6 untill 130kph They must be building them for use on the Autobahns Cheers George

I heard that the fuel tank if fitted with "kinetic suspension "is only 80-90 ltrs.
And there is nowhere else to put another tank.(not 100% sure).

wont really bother most landcruiser owners....... they never take them more than 50km from civilisation

I got a short drive of one a few months back.

Feels a lot crisper than the old 100 series in the suspension department. But sizewise it feels like driving a small house.
I was honestly expecting more go for the torque numbers it has.

The keyless entry and start button is just wierd. I've heard of one guy who turned one down because of that. If they key fob is left in the vehicle then any playing kid could hit the start button.
Unlike normal keys that have to be in the ignition to work.

Toyota consistently overstate power and understate weight.

Looks all right to me, be interesting to see what the price will be. I think 4X4 is roadtesting one next month.

$71,000 + on roads full spec for the 76 series wagon TDV8, wouldn't want to be a rear seat passenger in a leaf sprung wagon

Had a look at one at the Queanbeyan show, pretty ordinary really
