Yes. Which is why I am thinking that the two may just be able to get along. One will be a hard-core off roader and the other a soccer Mum SUV. You could even keep them separated by way of keeping the features/content of the T6 below the Territory and turn the Territory into a more upmarket car like Mazda have done with the CX9.
Toyota seem to have all the bases covered with the RAV4, Kluger, Prado and Landcruiser. 2 soft roaders and 2 hard core off roaders. Although I do still wonder why they made the RAV4 so close in size to the Kluger, but when you look at the feature sets of the two, that is how they keep them apart, as suggested above.
