    And they are both affordable.
    In a world where crossovers and SUVs continue to dominate the charts, true off-roaders like the Toyota Land Cruiser are increasingly becoming a rare breed. However, the Japanese manufacturer has no plans to discontinue the model from its U.S. lineup anytime soon, and it turns out it’s selling older versions of the Land Cruiser in other markets.

    In South Africa, Toyota sells the Land Cruiser 79 4.5D V8 D/C Namib, which is basically a special edition model based on the 70 Series. In the United Arab Emirates, Toyota offers a similar version of the off-roader with a slightly modified front end, featuring halogen headlamps for “an assertive and bold look.” Available as a three-door SUV and an LC truck, the model has a starting price of 141,750 UAE Dirhams, which is approximately $38,590 at the current exchange rates.

    Toyota offers the Land Cruiser Prado here in the states. They just wrap it in a tuxedo and slap a Lexus badge on it and call it the GX.

    I wonder how many GX owners even realize that the basic bones of their "Luxury Sport Ute" is actually a bad ass wheeler in the rest of the world.

    I suppose they could throw it in 4WD if the gravel road at their kid's soccer game gets wet. :D

    The only wheelin' they see is when they pull into the driveway too tight and run over that little green triangle of grass on the corner.

    If they only knew what they had. :rolleyes:

    For those that don't get out of the US very much, the rest of the world has much better off-road vehicle choices. Seen some surprising trucks/SUVs out in the backlands of Turkmenistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan, India, UAE, Oman, etc.

    In other parts of the world the number of cup holders is not a high priority.

    But the Lexus isn't a diesel. That's what we need is a diesel GX460.

    True. But the diesel is an option on the Prado. The standard mill is the 4.6 V8.

    But too few people here in The States would want a diesel in their Luxury Sport Ute. Even Mercedes Benz doesn’t sell many of them here
