Well, that didn't take long. Shortly after Toyota announced the Land Cruiser nameplate is coming back to the United States, the automaker's European division released an identical teaser featuring vintage badges. We should point out the moniker never left the Old Continent as the Prado is sold in most Euro countries as simply the Land Cruiser. We believe this pseudo teaser is for the next-gen Prado, which should be the same SUV heading stateside.
While Toyota USA said "Did you really think we'd be gone for long? The legend returns," its European counterpart asks: "Ready for your next adventure?" Neither is announcing when the official debut is scheduled to take place, but our money is it'll happen in the following weeks. The new Prado should be Toyota's equivalent of the 2024 Lexus GX pictured below, which uses the same body-on-frame platform as the full-fat Land Cruiser LC300.
