Me to. I am not aware of a two door 60/62 style ever built by Toyota but it sure looks cool.

Default It's a composite...

I think it's a composite. Another car maker is using an Explorer front with a Rodeo rear and something else in teh middle. They must all be being careful not to call another manufacturer's product a clunker ; )

I was shocked to see that too!!!
The truck they show never exsisted (from the factory). I think they picked it because no one cares about the 60 series right now (sorry 60 series brothers!)

I guess I'm an oddity thinking that my 22 year old Cruiser...or any of my old Land Cruisers, is using less natural resources than a new car that is replaced every 3-5 years....

Nope, you're not alone. How many resourses, besides money, would it take for me to get a new Tacoma, a couple Cruisers and a Sienna van? I'll just keep my "clunkers", thank you very much.
