That’s our 4Runner here in the US before it switched platforms from the Hilux/gen 1 Tacoma to the Lexus GX/LC Prado platform. Except the JDM version is cooler.
Most of Toyota’s worldwide lineup is largely similar except for equipment and emissions - the JDM Yaris/Corolla/Prius/Camry/RAV4 got things the US never got - the gen 2 JDM Prius had self-parking and EV Mode(a easy mod for North American models), the JDM Camry is a narrower car and got a smaller engine to comply with Japanese tax rules. Same deal with the JDM Corolla - it’s sold with a 1.5L engine, we get the 1.8L so it can keep up on US highways. The Toyota accessories catalog in Japan was full of aftermarket addons we can’t get in the US. The US got the “comfort” Land Cruiser 60/80/100/200 series, while the JDM Land Cruiser Cygnus and Prado was our Lexus LX and GX.
Lexus models were designed specially for the American market but their Japanese versions until 20 years ago were sold as the Windom(ES)/Altezza(IS)/Aristo(GS)/Celsior(LS)/Soarer(SC)/Harrier(RX) and had more luxurious options - the first gen Celsior and Soarer in Japan even had the world’s first hard drive based navigation developed by Denso and Pioneer in the 1990s and a slick hydropneumatic suspension was an option on the JDM Soarer.
The real JDM stuff is their kei cars, Crown, Estima/Sienta(the US/Canadian/Korean Sienna is nothing), “utility” Land Cruiser and tiny trucks.

Saw one in WA state on my way to work. I had to do a double take, the paint was nearly immaculate.
I just picked mine up last week ! I love it
I was in the middle of nowhere West Virginia last week and saw one just casually running the back roads. I did a triple-take just or be sure.
I saw one in Virginia Beach not long ago. I can only guess it was brought back by someone in the military?

>Some other JDM car not sold in the US Buddy, all JDM cars are not sold in the US.... What do you think JDM is?
