      I mean, it's 'less' but for 40% less money. But some of us also think it's actually more. The latest landcruiser was a bloated pig of an SUV (for me). Capable and reliable, sure but it had lost it's way and it's character. Very happy to see them get back to basics with this. I could just do without all the driving nannies!

    i have no problem with the cloth seats, manual adjust, 6-speakers and hard-touch plastic; however, at 59k, that is not acceptable. If this base model was sold at 12-15k cheaper, i would better understand cloth seats, manual adjust, 6-speakers and hard-touch plastic.
    at 59k, some of the nicer features from the higher trims should trickle down...

      If this wasn’t a Toyota, I would agree with you. But with purchasing a Toyota comes a reputation of reliability and resale value. it’s never a poor financial decision to buy one regardless of the features that you think it should come with at a certain price. And might I add that the average vehicle transaction is creeping up towards 50k. Hell, the upcoming 2025 GR Corolla will probably get close to 50k. So isnt it all kind of relative? But having said that, yes prices in general are ridiculous on all cars.

    Starts at $80,000 up here in Alberta, Canada. Even if it were at $55k I would have a hard time signing that deal with such a plastic-y interior and manual seats.
    Toyota’s marketing department is odd up here if I do say so myself.
    (For example, the panoramic sunroof is standard on the tundra limited and up, whether you want it or not. Same with the sunroof on 4Runners. Every 4Runner in Canada comes with a sunroof since 2014).
