Ineos = 3.0L turbo I6; 281HP; 330LBFT; mid-teens MPG; 17" or 18" wheels/31-32" tires

Lexus = 3.4L twin-turbo V6; 349HP; 479LBFT; 17 MPG; 18" wheels/33" tires

Would really like to see the new Toyota Land Cruiser specs, should obviously be similar to the Lexus

We all know the D1 power:weight ratio, yet we love them.

I played around with the Grenadier pickup configurator. You can remove the roll bar, and when you do, the truck looks entirely reasonable. Theres also a full canvas option for the pickup bed.

I just wish they'd remove the tie down bars from the roof.

I just realized the new GX550 engine produces 349HP & 479LBFT. In the Tundra the engine produces 389HP and 479LBFT. I wonder where the 40 horses went?

Tuned down for better MPG maybe?
You're probably right. Or just detuned to keep it in it's planned segment. They get 409 HP out of the same engine in the Lexus LX600 and they advertise mileage in the LX600 as the same as the Tundra - 17/22 or 19 MPG combined.

I'm really curious to see the new Land Cruiser specs. Hopefully it has the same engine, it's cheaper, maybe a bit lighter, better looking, and more dirt friendly than a Lexus.

It could be because they are tuning for 87 octane and publishing those specs…as far as I know all Lexus cars state to fill with 93 octane only.

I think the new Tacomas are a good indication. They are all the same platform now.

I saw a new Tacoma on the road this morning. Looked good....looked bigger than the older Tacomas.

It was that forest green color, must have been the local dealer's as I saw it taking my kid to camp at the intersection of Northsight and Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd just down the street from the local Toyota dealership. I'll cruise by the dealer tomorrow after I take my kid to camp and see if they have it.
