Lunar Cruiser anyone?

Toyota are going to develop their own lunar rover... I hope they stick a cruiser badge on it

I guess it wont Rust up there....

The headlight bezel is reminiscent of the pre 80 40 series bezel - just stretched.... a lot

The moon cruiser.. it's looks the job, but as clever as its electric AWD system is, the 80 series purists will bemoan the lack of a solid front axle and lockers and say it's not a real cruiser

 

[Towpack]

Bet it hasn’t got a VC.

 

[SteveJB]

Looks like an angry FJ

 

[StarCruiser]

Why! I mean, the moon’s been done, right? Is Japan going to have a crack at it now? What for?

You might be right... but... if you consider its designed to be an overlander in space... I bet it would perform pretty well here on earth.

maybe I'll wait for them to sell the prototype and drop a 1HD-T in there

I guess they won't be exploring the dark side then .

(and before anyone says . . Yes, I know its only 'dark' to us because we never see it from Earth - it does have sunlight ).

Not enough oxygen, so they don't need to worry about rust.

Bet the hand brakes still crap...
