4Runner/Fortuner/Hilux are all significantly capable vehicles, just slightly less heavy duty than the land cruiser. They aren’t built to circumnavigate Africa quite as much (or to serve the ego of whatever local UN office is prading it around in a developing country) but will do most everything else off road for half the price, and with a healthy aftermarket of higher end components if you want to enhance capabilities
Are people actually buying new landcruisers for African off-roading adventures? The 70's-80's models make sense but a bulky 2022 SUV that costs 90k before all other (necessary) upgrades, with an automatic gearbox and highly computerised system seems like a nightmare to take on such trips.
By all reviews, 300 greatly miss on offroad features, and its performance went down accordingly.
