I would suggest a visit to a Toyota dealer and pick their brains or start googling...

GX is base model, VX has more bells and whistles.manual or auto box ?
Personal choice on that one, I like my auto...But others like the manual. Don't think it really matters.are all of them full time 4wd and if not whats better ?
I believe they are all full time 4x4....But you can get a kit to change the center diff.but also considering a patrol/safari
Hmmm no comment quite fancy this one

If you might eventually want diff locks, go 5 seater with factory ones, rather than 8 seater without.

Lockers if you pay someone for ARB = 3K+
Third row of seats 1-1.5K excluding cert

GX is still pretty well specced! Even the more basic RV model has A/c and the electrics.
Its the DX with barn rear doors that is the basic model....

is the dx the one without the turbo? Or was that an option from factory in all models?
