Hey Kirk, we are both so excited about this! The only caveat is that Best Car Magazine is saying this will be based on the Toyota IMV series model introduced for Thailand (called Hilux Champ), so not based on TNGA-F platform. There is a chance that this could be Asia only because of that... let's see what happens.
No manual, no purchase from me…. but I feel like they’ll definitely offer it to us that way with the 2.7L at least, because they’ve probably the greatest advocate as a manufacturer to preserve the manual transmission wherever possible. Love the design, and I agree - THE PEOPLE WILL BE LOSING THEIR MINDS if they’re able to bring it at that price point!
Why would you want a manual? Modern auto-boxes are superior in every way. Did you just learn to drive a "stick shift" as you americans call it?! In Europe we have been driving manuals for ever because we have a lot of small cars with small engines and because manuals are cheaper.
Hi Kirk, in the article they show images of new hilux champ. Also the interior is straight from the hilux champ. U didn’t really cover that in the video. To me it looks like this will be a cheaper suv based on the hilux champ platform made for maybe poorer countries? Front headlamp design also looks similar to the Champ. Have a look and maybe make a follow up video with your thoughts?
If not the 2.7, I see them putting in just the 2.4 turbo without the hybrid. Simple, but effective. It’s already in mass production and Toyota wouldn’t have to change anything with the transmissions/transfer cases from the Taco.
Where do you think this will be built? I’m very interested if this is built in Japan, but do they capacity? And agreed, I think the US would get hybrid only powertrains. Another great video Kirk, love it!!
@@KirkKreifelsHino's Hamura plant built the FJ Cruiser as well as the T100 and it has built many Prados over the years. It seems like the natural choice to me.
There is a 2.4 diesel engine that is used in lower trim levels of the Hilux (that is also available with the 2.7 gas). The 2.4 diesel (2GD-FTV) has 148 hp and 400 nm, it would make a lot of sense for makets where diesel is more commonly used.
If this comes to the North American Market I will 100% Purchase. I don’t care on the powertrain; hybrid is fine. I need a ladder frame, 4x4, locking rear differential all within 30-40k. Ohh and cool colour options! None of this grey/beige/white nonsense….
Just took owner ship of a UNDER GOUND 4-runner LIMITED you never know what color it will be , black, gray, blue, prices going down fast , I paid 47,200, my MINI LAND CRUISER, love the center Differential, Full frame, full time 4 wheel drive, full time truck, Just use it to go hunting with my dogs in the north east near canada , Old guy retired .
I will hope for a PHEV version ... maybe based on the Tacoma's 4x4 power train (if it ever happens). The Rav4 AWD power train is really a FWD with an electric motor for the rear wheels ... not really 4x4, even the Subaru setup is more "4x4" than the Rav4.
Plastic is almost always cheaper than metal. The more plastic they can get away with adding, the less metal there is to source and form. Plastic is lighter, probably cheaper to source, and they can make crazy shapes/forms a lot easier than with metal. For example, bumpers on most vehicles now are just plastic bumper covers. Trucks are one of the few exceptions that still have metal bumpers. But even then, they're moving more towards plastic bumper covers.
@@jensalanBumpers yes, but I was talking about the body side cladding. There is metal under it. They are just covering it over with plastic at an added cost.
nice vid, BUT, it's probably will not use tnga-f platform if they want it really cheap, it's rather imv-0 platform with ladder frame which is already used in hilux and fortuner, and the enigine suggest the same, cause it's still used in fortuner
Looking forward to this model since I have owned 2 FJ cruisers from 2006 to 2019. I looked at the new land cruiser but it is too expensive for me. Would like to see this FJ hybrid with at least 3500 pounds towing capacity.
Let's be real. Once these dealers see the love for this Toyota from consumers. They are going to mark it up. I really hope it's priced in the low low 20s
No infotainment system touch screen, no slushbox, no computer nannies to spoil any fun. I want 2.7 naturally aspirated, 6 speed manual transmission, full-time T-Case with shift lever, locking rear differential, A-Track, 16 inch wheels, A/C, power windows and locks that's about it.
Thai built Champ uses slightly modified Hilux chassis which is built for Asia-Pacific in both L and RHD so makes total sense for FJ to be truly global product... but they'll never be able to satisfy demand!
Plug-in Hybrid with big battery and power outlets in an off-road vehicle like this would be super attractive to us. 35 kWh and NEMA 5-20 (20A 120V outlets?) Good way to mount antennas like Starlink, too. Yes, most desirable here in northern Utah, too. Towing hitch and hooks, for sure. Don't really need high water fording depth, but ground clearance and large tires are of interest.
That’s a lot of off road vehicles, Lexus gx, Lexus lx, Land Cruiser, 4Runner , fj Land Cruiser. Where will it be made? They gotta be moving some of their production out of the factory that makes all the land cruisers in Japan. The fact we are seeing the test 4Runner here in the USA says it might be made in North America.
The dashboard shown is very similar to the Hilux Champ/IMV 0, if not exactly the same. That vehicle also has the 2.7 L 2TR-FE engine as an option. So my guess is it will be built in Thailand along side that vehicle. Of course the Corolla Cross was also first available in Thailand before anywhere else, but this might need more adjustments.
this is the only saving grace for Honda. People are still buying their cars because wait times for Toyota's are insane. They need to get their act together before Toyota figures out their supply issue.
Is it better to have the spare tire inside or outside and why? Design-wise, spare tire mounted outside looks cool but are they convenient to remove and put back?
Finally, we get an equivalent to the Suzuki Jimny💯
This is way bigger and more expensive than a Jimny.
Suzuki is a third tier automaker on a good day. This will be a First Class Toyota. 🤩🤩

If it can compete with the Bronco Sport Badlands and the Subaru Forester Wilderness, then I'll be taking a serious look at it.
Neither of those are body on frame. This will be much more rugged and reliable off road, but if they put in that 2.7L it will have bad fuel economy
Bronco Sport is based on a compact car. It is an overpriced econobox with an undesirable powertrain.
this would be competing in a league of its own considering there aren't any small body on frame vehicles anymore
Can’t claim it would be more rugged or reliable. The bronco sport it’s unreliable with the 1.5 but isn’t too bad with 2.0 in badlands
Badlands is decent little off roader especially with a little lift. The 1.5 sucks but the 2.0 isn’t bad

The dashboard shown is very similar to the Hilux Champ/IMV 0, if not exactly the same. That vehicle also has the 2.7 L 2TR-FE engine as an option. So my guess is it will be built in Thailand along side that vehicle. Of course the Corolla Cross was also first available in Thailand before anywhere else, but this might need more adjustments.

The Land Cruiser Land Cruiser trim makes more since with this Land Cruiser FJ in the picture.
