    Almost getting a little Hummer H2 vibe from it. Which isn't good.

    But man....I'd love a refreshed FJ to come back. I'd love to have a "new" FJ60. Would compete well with Jeep and Bronco.

    Looks like the old BJ 70.

    This would be totally bad ass. I’m actually considering importing a BJ70 and building it to be a fun adventure off-roading vehicle. 5.3L swap and life would be good.

    My first thoughts as well. I think it's the fenders. The shape is Wrangler.

    This is a hard no for me. The OG FJ40 was nothing like this and putting on a FJ-esque grill ain't doing it for me.

    I'd go for a retro FJ45 single cab with a long bed.

    It looks too generic, and forgets the FJ Cruiser existed. If Toyota were to bring something like it to market, it would lean more rugged and tough, and not depend on heritage because they've already done that.

    Needs to be able to run at least 33's without a CMC and that doesn't look to be the case.

    I would rather have a regular cab pick up late 70's or mid 80's design cues. I like the square mid 80's look better. Toyota could also skip the retro look all together, just build a truck that looks like a truck.

    Toyota built a few PX10s around early 2000. Marv Specter had one.
