toymota 70 series release date - 2007

Talking with sales at the local Toyota yard:
The new model 70 series vehicles will be released to wholesalers around 23rd March. No specification or promotional material will be available from Toyota until a coupla days prior (There has been some info and a ute pick posted on prior threads on ExploreOz).
There will be a 4 door troop carrier.
The RV specification is being dropped and the std. land cruiser GX / GXL designations to apply.
No indications on pricing are available untill promotional material release.

4 door Troopie could be worth a captain cook for family with 3 wheel chocks destined to be over 6'.

I suspect that the drive train post donk/gbox and the suspension will be similar to the existing models. Does any one have any objective comments on the troopies regarding their abilities as a serious off road vehicle? I am familure with the offroad abilities of stock, slight and heavily modified patrols, land rovers and moderate exposure to the 80 series. I understand some experienced toyota owners are moving from the 100 series to 70 series utes. Does the utes ability transfer to the higher COG troopie?

Paul.
