Which Toyo........

Dave

Have you checked their website?
Pretty detailed specs showing what the one model has over another

Hi Dave. We just bought the new GXL at the end of January and are really thrilled with it. Negotiated quite hard at the dealers and got it drive away with a tow bar for $62,000. Definitely worth the extra $2,000 for you over your budget and who knows maybe the dealers are even better to negotiate with in April. Was told a 'trick' by a car salesman once before and that was to negotiate near the end of the month when dealers have quotas to fill. Looking around now for a bullbar ready for some trips as the weather cools and looking at an ECB or TJM as the Toyota one looks terrible. Our car dealer Surf Toyota in Tweed Heads. Hope that helps.

Dave,

Here are most of the differences:
GX has 6.5" rims and 245/70 17 tyres vs GXL with 7.5" rims and 265/65 17. OVerall tyre diameter is the same but there is fewer choices in the GX size.

GXL has body coloured mirrors and door handles, reverse camera and dual zone aircon for front seat occupants.

GXL third row seats which fold flat but consequently the floor is probaby 12-15cm higher. It has another aircon system in the rear for the 3rd row seats. The 3rd row has cupholders built into the rear quarter panel trims.

GXL comes with side steps wheras the GX does not (I find this a strange thing to leave off a 4wd).

There are probably a couple of other differences that I can't think ofoff the top of my head.

In the end the choice depends on what is important to you. For us having maximum cargo space was important so we bought the GX, as even with the 3rd row seats removed the cargo area in the GXL is smaller because of the 3rd row aircon and cupholders.

We replaced the standard stereo with a unit that has GPS and a reverse camera builit in.

Hi Dave. This ad has been in the Sydney Daily Telegraph Drive section for the last couple of weeks. This one is from fri 25/3. Turbo Diesel for $61990 drive away means no more to pay by state law over here now. Cheers,Bob

We bought a 60th anniversary in Perth two days before Christmas. We had just returned from a 10 month trip around Oz and had been looking at the Landcruisers since back in Queensland - one thing we noticed was that they were cheaper over East!

We negotiated and ended up paying $91K - well worth it, tows the van a dream and so far the economy is fantastic. Just drove down from home in Geraldton to Perth and with a really strong headwind still managed to average 14 litres per hundred kilometres. (Turbo Diesel model) We tow a Coromal Pioneer Corvair 18 footer.
