BTW, congratulations. There are kind of 3 levels of off road vehicles for Toyota although I don't think you will find this chart anywhere. First, in underdeveloped and third World countries spattered across the globe they sell the Hilux or Foretuner, a value model mass produced bare bones utility. In mid level economic countries and countries that do not have the high requirements we have in the US (like safety, emissions, etc.) they sell the Prado/250, that vehicle is a value model also mass produced at the Tahara Plant for the Worldwide market. Finally, there is the LC300 (currently) Land Cruiser which is nearly hand built at the Yosiwara plant by artisans handpicked by Toyota, it is a generational honor for any Japanese citizen to work at this plant and only the best get to do so. All parts in the LC 300 are only found in the LC 300: glass, tie rods, etc., etc. You might hear the LC 300 has the same parts as the Tundra, but they were not built in the same place, just designed the same! Because they are nearly hand built they are very expensive initially and therefore only sold in so called first World or highly developed markets (one could argue with a duty cycle of 500,000 v 250,000 on the Prado they are less expensive in the long run). From what I can tell the reason the LC 300 is not sold in the US is because the LC 200 sales were poor, few thousand units. Sales were low because they were so expensive in the US. They were very expensive because of the stringent safety and emission rules in the US. That is why they tried to pass off a worldwide value model (Prado/250) for the US as a Land Cruiser, which in the spirit of keeping it real is definitely not! The great news is the LC 300 LX 700h is a real Land Cruiser! On top of that some things (until recently) are/were only available on the US LX700h, that is the hybrid variant, again, until recently you could not get one anywhere else in the World. People have a nostalgia for old V8's but your LX 700h is the most powerful gas Land Cruiser ever made by a long shot, period! There is a diesel twin turbo that is 650 pd ft but you could never buy that in the US. Yours has nearly 600 pd ft of torque v the previous 200 that has only 400 pd ft. You also get a cabin with 54 db level at 60 mph. Betting the internet darling 70 series is more like hearing the Who live in 1969. We went to a dealer who had many GX's and saved an LX 700 for us on its arrival to test drive, we drove the GX/Prado first but it was lights out once we got in the LX. At any level, by any sense, it was clear there was no way to draw any objective comparison other than both have 4wd and 4 doors. Enjoy your new ride
