New 150 GX

I saw a 150 GX recently with barn doors on the rear and the spare mounted under the back ! I take it this is only on the GX model ?

Maybe it was the LC200 GX that you saw

Would love one of these. There are a few up here modded up and I prefer the barn door setup. Still very pricey for a base vehicle but we will see these models start to filter through the aftermarket from the hire mobs around the 90,000km mark.

Cheers,

Andrew no it wasn't an LC200 but as Dueler120 has said they're modded .

I think maybe Dueller120 was refering to the 200s GX, Maybe he can clarify that.
As to the 150S with out the spare on the door,we recently travelled around the south of NZ and seen many 150s without the spare on the door,always on the GXL and better and only with one tank.The GX over there had the wheel on the door.

I notice the current brochure for NZ spec Prado shows the GX to have an under mount spare,must be a 2014 update maybe as when over there in October the GX was on the door and the GXL and better underneath. I also notice they only have GX,VX and VX Limited

was told by my toyota dealer that they are only available on the overseas models. Apparently Americans like them like this but it reduces the size of the fuel tank

A Euro/japan import maybe? They tend to have wheel under the truck.

NZ model has less fuel capacity due to full size spare. I like the extra fuel but I also hate the barn door. I guess you can not have both....
