The Land Cruiser nameplate is set to return to the U.S. after a two-year hiatus.

Instead, the Land Cruiser bound for the U.S. will be an even more rugged SUV related to the redesigned. This is indicated in the latest teaser photos which show a rise in the beltline after the B-pillar, which is a design trait shared with the GX but not the 300-series Land Cruiser sold overseas. The U.S.-bound Land Cruiser will be marketed overseas as a redesigned Land Cruiser Prado.
There are rumors the U.S.-bound Land Cruiser will feature retro cues that won't be used for the Land Cruiser Prado sold overseas. One example will be round headlights, inspired by the design of the FJ40 and similar to what Toyota did with the FJ Cruiser from recent decades. Underpinning the vehicle will be Toyota's TNGA-F body-on-frame platform, which is also found in the 300-series Land Cruiser and its Lexus LX twin, as well as the Sequoia SUV and the latest Toyota Tundra and Tacoma pickup trucks. It's also found in the Lexus GX, where it is equipped with full-time four-wheel drive, a 2-speed transfer case, a Torsen limited-slip center differential, and off-road-focused Overtrail and Overtrail+ modes. Look for a similar setup for the U.S.
