Toyota Leans into Land Cruiser’s past with an Open-Air Concept Designed for the Ultimate Outdoor Adventure
LAS VEGAS (Nov. 1, 2024) – Toyota Motor North America (TMNA) captivated the automotive world with the debut of the innovative Land Cruiser “ROX,” or “Recreation Open eXperience” concept at the 2024 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. This ambitious concept, spearheaded by Toyota’s North American design studio, Calty Design Research in Ann Arbor, Michigan, reimagined the iconic open-top Land Cruisers of the past for a new era of outdoor adventure. Calty was a part of the global design team that created the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser 250.
Kevin Hunter, president at Calty Design Research, shared the purpose of the concept: “We asked ourselves...
I am pleased to announce that we have a new community in the family. We are trying to get a site going for the new Lexus LX 700h. Eventually we might expand it to cover other Lexus LX vehicles in the future, but for now just the all new 2025 Lexus LX 700h. As always, getting sites off the ground is the hardest part so if any of you are interested in the vehicle or just helping us get some discussion going, I would greatly appreciate it!
You can check out the site here: Lexus LX 700h Forum
I’ve got deposits at two different dealerships, in two different states for Heritage Blue, Land Cruiser trim level, premium package with 20” wheels.
Got a call from both dealerships stating my VIN was “randomly” selected for quality control.
Coincidence? I will not be playing the lottery today…

Attached is a screenshot from a slide presented at Toyota's winter dealer meeting, suggesting that the 2024 First Edition Land Cruisers could potentially hit the market as soon as March or April. This exciting news hints at an earlier arrival than anticipated for these highly awaited models.
Thanks for the heads up @njdevils89!
Toyota is set to showcase the 2024 Land Cruiser, destined for the U.S. market, at the upcoming Japan Mobility Show. However, this isn't your typical LC 250. The traditional circular steering wheel has been swapped out for "NEO Steer," a yoke-inspired design that incorporates the vehicle’s acceleration and braking controls directly into the steering mechanism, drawing inspiration from motorcycle handlebars and eliminating the need for foot pedals.
This innovative yoke design facilitates hand-operated driving, opening up new possibilities for individuals with lower limb impairments to comfortably drive the 2024 Land Cruiser. The controls are conveniently placed on the right side of the yoke, allowing for an intuitive driving experience...

"We believe we're in our element now," shares Christ with Wards. "These dealer meetings always serve as a platform to bolster faith in our brand, and we're...

The Toyota Land Cruiser has been notably absent in the automaker’s US lineup since the 2021 model year. By then, the model that started life as a rough-and-tumble Jeep CJ5 rival had grown in both size and status to become an eight-seat premium SUV with an $87,000 price tag – as well as some formidable off-road talent.
Despite the model’s three-year absence in American showrooms, a new off-road SUVis headed our way. The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser is hearkening back to its roots with a few retro styling cues, more maneuverable size, and most importantly, a lower price. Although not the roofless FJ40 redux many hoped for, the new Land Cruiser should be more attainable than the last one, with a starting price in the mid-$50,000 range...
