Default '08 TLC specs

Not sure if this has been posted yet but the Toyota site has been updated with all the '08 TLC stuff:

http://www.toyota.com/landcruiser/in...DCRUISER_INDEX

The MSRP for the TLC is $63,200

Angle of approach/departure/breakover (degrees) 30/20/21
Minimum running ground clearance (in.) 8.9

IIRC the old ground cleanance was 9.8"

Yep, not sure about the LC, but the '03 LX had a 23 degree departure angle in normal mode and could lift it's *** to 26 degrees in high mode. The new '08 TLC's departure angle of only 20 degrees is unacceptably low IMO, especially since it won't have an air suspension to lift it. In contrast the GX has a rear departure angle of 25 degrees and can be lifted to 29 degrees.

KDSS should solve the approach/departure issue. I don't think Toyota would be that stupid, lets hope so atleast.

You may be right, it looks pretty good in this video at Popular Mechanics:

KDSS does NOT increase approach/departure angles. It only increase FLEX of the suspension side to side. And remember, KDSS is ONLY on the TLC, not the LX570.
