/o/ I have $55k to spend on my next truck, and ive narrowed it down to these two cousins. I'm leaning towards the 4runner because I actually prefer its looks and the fact that it doesnt carry any pretenses (I could care less about the Lexus "status symbol"), but I absolutely love the Land Cruiser Prado and the Lexus is the only variant I can get here stateside. I'm also weary of the 20" rims on the 4runner capability wise, although I love the look. Truck is going to be used 90% in the city and 10% on the back-roads offroading and adventuring. Which do I choose?

You realize the 4Runner is also a Prado, right? Buy a Trail Premium or get a GX460 and put 18s on it.

>Body on frame
>it's a fucking truck
>>14038239

>>14038198
a Prius and a dirt bike based on your use scenario.
>>14038272
No, it's not.
>>14038285
>eh they use different engines and undercarriages
No, they don't.

4 liter V6 vs 4.6 liter V8, what do you mean?
and yes it is very much body on frame, it is essentially a Land Cruiser Prado with a Lexus badge and some toys
u trolling nigga?

>4 liter V6 vs 4.6 liter V8
Oh you mean between the 4Runner and the GX460. The 4Runner and Prado are closer, then, since the 2UR or whatever it is isn't available in the Prado but the 1GR is. Other than that, the 4Runner and GX are both Prados.
>and yes it is very much body on frame
Yes, obviously I know. That doesn't make it a truck.

eh i live where its cold and snowy so 4wd and clearance matter to me. Plus i hate priuses
>>14038411
You don't need 4WD for snow. If you aren't going off road, don't bother with these vehicles.
>>14038427
But I am going offroad, just only when I get time off work (which is infrequent I must admit). I also prefer driving an SUV and have already chosen these two as my main options so I'm really just looking for input on which of these two ya'll would purchase if it was your money.

My neighbor owns a 2015 4runner Limited and GOD I hate that fucking huge chrome plating on the front-end!
>>14038566
haha i kind of like it, i think it makes the front end almost look tamer or more noble. I dont really care for the "angry face" of the other 4runners. To each his own
>>14038506
Then get a 4Runner Trail Premium.
get a denali so when it something goes awry you can use the rental offroad without damaging your main ride
you'll thank me later
