I think this is the new Sequioa.

Something about there rear and the lights look like the outgoing Seq. Also, the wheels are 5 lug design. The current 4runner/GX are six lug. The new Tundra is 5 lug so the Seq will likely be a 5 lug. The mirrors are 4runner/GX/LX.

So very tough to tell. I really can't see Toyota testing the GX/4Runner in southern California of all places.

Actually on second thought guys. That is a LandCruiser.

I highly doubt it's a Land Cruiser. The LC is already out; it would be silly and pointless for Toyota to be testing the LC at this stage. It's also doubtful that's a Sequoia because we've seen Sequoia spyshots with normal head and tail lights.

Again, this is a very early prototype/mule for something else. Why else would Toyota be using decoy headlights and taillights?

Still speculating but it could be the new 4runner.
Highlander is so big now it's in the current 4runner territory. 4runner needs to be even bigger

Maybe its a new LC variant. You know like how the Caddy Escalade has 3 versions work with. I still think its a new Sequioa. It has been on a long run already yes?

Maybe its the LX and Lexus has made some changes from the model they showed in New York. Maybe they heard all the bad things we wrote about and wanted to make a few changes.

It's been out since '03, at least.

The 4Runner looks a lot bigger than it is. It's only an inch longer than the Honda Pilot and the new Highlander, and it's not any wider or taller than either of them.

This is NOT a the new sequoia. Look how big the tail lights are in relation to the rest of the rear end. The back of this car is midsize. The GS/LX lights are quite large on the rear of it.

I really think that is the new LX and they may be doing more testing of electronics, revised taillights, etc. Current taillights as is are hideous.

Although the integrated hitch and rear wiper model that of the current GX so who knows.

Possibly. I sure do hope that they dont merge the two tail lights together to make some type of G35 Sedan tail light....that'd be pretty nasty.
