It shares a platform with the Land Cruiser Prado and 4Runner, has factory Crawl Control, a Torsen center diff, and KDSS suspension — but it has leather seats and a Mark Levinson stereo. The aftermarket has caught on. The target buyer exists. The question is what the minimum viable business looks like to get there.</p>
