Glen we have been given information from Toyota last week about the new Troopy. I can tell you that the technical change will start in July 2009 for cars arriving the following month.
The expected changes to the Troop Carrier Workmate Ian quoted for you are as follows:
Driver and front passenger airbag
Airbag warning lamp & driver’s seatbelt warning lamp
Protruding front bumper (to allow for airbag sensors)
200mm wide 2DIN audio unit
Bluetooth handsfree
USB & 3.5mm audio input jack
Telescopic steering column adjustment
4 spoke steering wheel (from the current 200 Series GXL)
Multi-function clock
Cup/bottle holder below dash
Meter illumination controls
New dash and combination meter design and layout
Revised interior pillar and header garnish
V8 decal replaced with chrome V8 badge
Visible exterior A pillar garnish/reinforcement
If you want to buy the new Troop Carrier you can now order the vehicle as we are currently in the July production term. There will have to be some new bullbar designs to go with this model
