Let me be brutally honest. Been around a lot of years. This country is rapidly losing our middle class. We have rich and poor. All of the new cars and trucks are being made and sold to the rich. Proof. Folks buying new p/u's now have 800-1,000 dollar plus monthly car payments for 6-7 years. They aren't middle class, they are poor. Car and truck makers have made their decisions and they should hang a sign at the dealerships "No one enters that cannot prove a salary of 100,000 dollars a year." (even at that salary you can only realistically but a mid ranged price car. Most of us are buying used.
People like me that actually use their Toyota for overlanding and enjoy daily driving in them don’t care what power plant it has as long as it’s reliable and gets *decent* mpg. Most Toyota boomers are terrified of the possibility of any slight inconvenience that would make them open their hood and do a little bit of wrenching and that’s a problem.
Anyone who doesn't get a 5th gen 4Runner before they're gone is going to regret it. A turbo 4cyl hybrid will never be as reliable as an NA V6, especially the one in the 5th gens. That engine has been proven for decades to be one of the most reliable engines ever made. I can only imagine most 5th gen owners will see their trucks go up in value over the next few years, especially if you were able to get a higher trim level 23 or 24.
The 4.0 is reliable but incredibly mediocre. Heinous mileage, low power... they have done better. Sad realization for those that are so stubborn. Late total the party! It's a Toyota, buy it, as usual you'll be just fine. This guy... just hit mute.
I just bought a 2013 GX460 for under $20k and in my opinion got a much superior vehicle for far less than any of their new offerings. What an incredibly well-built automobile all around. Really hoping Toyota goes back to what the people want.
Honestly, if you planned to keep the car or just want the most reliable family hauler, 2024 5th gen 4 runner trd pro is the move. I am in a self debate myself with the 5th gen vs 6th gen. Reliability is extremely important for me and I am leaning towards the 5th gen.
If you would have asked me a year ago how Toyota would be doing I would have said they are absolutely going to crush it - good looking refreshes and exciting new models. The issue is now Toyota quality is suspect and the prices are far too high. They managed to really ruin what should have been there complete dominance.
I bought my wife a 21' pro 4runner in lunar rock, she has 15k miles on it right now. We're going from 0 kids to 2 and I plan to park her truck in the garage and get her a sienna. It'll be gold with low miles in 15-20 years!
This ^^. Especially the comment about the stolen space with the hump up in the back because of the battery. As a camper, I am concerned about these hybrid configurations that compromise the cargo (sleeping & sit up) area. I'm not so much bothered by cloth seats as they could be a little bit more interesting looking, higher end befitting the lofty price tag. Had a 91 Celica GTS with the most fabulous cloth seats ever..... talk about quality, sort of a subtly two tone (bt same color) interior - knit fabric on the seat bolsters that looked/felt a lot like wool but I'm sure it was a high-quality nylon blend, and a thin wale, ultra classy corduroy for the inserts. Haven't seen the like since. Something like that! That and more soft touch surfaces instead of the cheap plastic would do nothing to diminish ruggedness or reliability. A regular, non-pano opening (old school in roof cartridge) sunroof as an option would top it all off.

@@TheWinwin4all Toyota had good petrol motors with the 4.7 and 4 liter. Sucked gas but pretty reliable. But for truck applications you can't beat the low end torque and MPG's of diesels.

So what’d you end up doing? On the fence on the Land Cruiser. I have one reserved, but how well do you think the First Edition will hold its value and do you think they will come out with a TRD Pro version next year.
Want to get a 1958 for the wife in a couple years, I love the truck. But the premium fuel requirement is bs. The turbo4 in my Canyon AT4 makes considerably more power and does it on 87.
4runner is still the better truck. Toyota and dealers thought they could squeeze more profit out of buyers but missed the post Covid insanity gouging by a couple years. Let the inventory build towards a fire sale.
Outside of reliability there is nothing better about the older 4runner. This just gives you more of everything the 4runner does. And the 4.0 was a dog, we need to start accepting that
@@YerBoyTroy reliability is the number ONE reason people buy Toyotas for. People that can afford much more $$$ cars still buy (or used to buy) Toyota trucks to overland or work with…reliability is job number one. I don’t need it to win 0-60 races or have a bunch of electronic doo dads that will fail at the worst time.
You are going in the right direction, Toyota fan boys will tune in to see the Land Cruiser do great and the haters will tune in to see it fail, but at the end of the day you will have more views, and that is what a TH-cam channel needs
Is it false to say the interior volum/height on the new 4R gen is shorter and smaller than the current gen? My concern is if you get the battery in the 4R, you lose so much floor to ceiling height given how it kinda looks lower? Makes me hesitate when considering the hybrid in 4R. Don’t think bigger dog kennels will fit in the new 4R height-wise with the hybrid moving the floor up 4-5 inches. Seems ok for the Land Cruiser with a higher interior height. Thoughts?
I would bet youre getting the 4Runner trd pro...And I'm with you- I have a one in terra and it's too good to pass up. You'll get a Landcruiser eventually, but you can't miss out on a new 5th gen while you can.
I will be buying a heritage blue first edition my brother! My 2 baby boys & I will enjoy it tons. I love your channel and you have a beautiful family. God bless & cheers!
I have always liked the rond headlights, FJ 60, 79, 40. There are hopefully going to be aftermarket rounds to install in place of the “Base” trim’s rectangular.
Pass! How did we go from TTV6 and Turbo Diesels to a 4 banger. I remember when the small truck lines were 4cyl engines. Now everything has a 4 cyl. What’s the payload on that thing?
How is the interior any better than a Rav4? Layout, size, and seats don't look any better, but I'll bet costs far more. Also, with the manual hatch, you cannot exit out the back. Better to have power hatch.
03:33 - About cloth interior - yeah, that's a classic material texture. That's why it is named 1958 Edition. To give seats the look and feel of an old vehicle back in times. People that saw or ever sat into an old vehicle from decades ago, like Toyota or others, many of them have seen exactly the same interior texture.

What???? I hope it’s the Underground….Im toying with the idea of buying a 4RNR TRD Pro in Underground headed to my local dealer next month. I’ll have to pry my wife’s hands off her Mazda CX-5’s steering wheel. She loves her Mazda.
The Land Cruiser! Made in Japan, Full-time 4WD!, 465 lb./ft of torque! Yeah the weird powertrain isn’t ideal, but this thing is kinda cool in my book. I don’t care if the power is made by fairy farts; I’ll take these #s and have fun with it! I LOVE your videos! Stay awesome (and honest)!
I like the cloth seats honestly if it was priced at $45k+ I would have bought it by now. I was waiting and waiting for this LC. But decided to buy a Mazda(made in Japan) and keeping my 2021 Trd pro sequoia for a while(really want the GX)
Was at a Toyota dealer getting my Tundra serviced and they had a Land cruiser in the showroom. It's nice, i liked it, they're asking 20k markup. Crazy.
We loved the cloth seats when we saw it, very tweedy. We loved the spartaness of this one. I blew us away more than the GX did. The GX seemed very un-Lexus but this one seemed sooo Toyota Land Cruiser of old. I think no question if I was given the choice between the the LC and 4 Runner I would go LC and I have liked and owned 4 Runners. Currently I'm driving a GX 460 and can't quite give up the V8 yet.
We all know he will not buy the new land Cruiser. It looks cool but the turbo hybrid engine is once again a big big big mistake by Toyota…again……and again. Toyota. Needs to fire the CEO and board members because people are pissed and leaving the brand….me included. Old Toyota’s are great by the way. Do better Toyota.
Round headlights all the way!! The rectangular ones--as configured on the LC--look way too "digital age," on a vehicle that is supposed to invoke a more retro-rugged theme. I'm probably in the minority but I don't like the FJ-inspired mirror proportions. My main gripe is the hump up in the back cargo area because of the hybrid configuration / battery, compromising the utility and versatility of that space especially as a camper.
Solid buy for longevity, long term ownership, value and reliability would be the 4R, we all know that at this point. Views for the channel would be the LC... and since your able to change cars and upgrade to new vehicles often, cost isn't an issue, maybe it's the LC this time.
As a 2022 4Runner owner, I probably would not have done this. That being said, if I needed a truck for light loads and trips, I would not have a problem with the Tacoma other than the ridiculous price.
You should watch The Car Care Nut's review on the Land Cruiser. He goes in depth on it and shows whats a good design and what is not. I'd say people just jump to conclusions that the reliability will be bad simply because it has a turbo.
Regardless of which one you buy, they will both retain their value. Let’s be real, less than 10% of folks keep their vehicles longer than 5 years. 5 years TOPS
I personally would not buy the new LC. I rather get the 6th gen 4Runner. I wish they had the new LC without the hybrid system. My biggest gripe is the limited weight limit in the trubk.
It looks cool but I don’t like the turbo engine idea . Land cruisers need natural asp v-8’s that’s the only thing missing from the vehicle. I’d get a rav4 or a 4Runner with that money but then I’d save it cause Toyota as a company who considers there customers and its prices are garbage now , really sad
Guys, he's gonna show us in a couple of weeks, and then sell it by the end of that week because he hates the powertrain LOL 😂

Those new Mazdas are looking sharp! I’m a fan.
The Land Cruiser! Made in Japan, Full-time 4WD!, 465 lb./ft of torque! Yeah the weird powertrain isn’t ideal, but this thing is kinda cool in my book. I don’t care if the power is made by fairy farts; I’ll take these #s and have fun with it! I LOVE your videos! Stay awesome (and honest)!
I like the cloth seats honestly if it was priced at $45k+ I would have bought it by now. I was waiting and waiting for this LC. But decided to buy a Mazda(made in Japan) and keeping my 2021 Trd pro sequoia for a while(really want the GX)
The 4Runner and Land Cruiser are both made in Japan
@@J.Young808 yup! I meant I bought a vehicle made in Japan also
Was at a Toyota dealer getting my Tundra serviced and they had a Land cruiser in the showroom. It's nice, i liked it, they're asking 20k markup. Crazy.
Sounds like to me you will be buying the 24 TRD pro 4Runner TRD pro in underground. Me too! I will keep it forever!
The two vehicles cost almost the same price. Go ahead and get the Land Cruiser. That way you get two extra cupholders an extra battery in the back👍
This is also my next vehicle. I’m stuck between ‘1958 - land cruiser’ editions.
We loved the cloth seats when we saw it, very tweedy. We loved the spartaness of this one. I blew us away more than the GX did. The GX seemed very un-Lexus but this one seemed sooo Toyota Land Cruiser of old. I think no question if I was given the choice between the the LC and 4 Runner I would go LC and I have liked and owned 4 Runners. Currently I'm driving a GX 460 and can't quite give up the V8 yet.
Being made in Japan exclusively, i'd overlook the price tag. Not in the market for one, but it's really nice.
Well since you already beat a 4Runner to death I say go for the lc. I hope they are so reliable man.
Currently at least two weeks. Did I miss the video of you acquiring the mystery vehicle?
I bought one, 1958 in white and it is awesome.
We all know he will not buy the new land Cruiser. It looks cool but the turbo hybrid engine is once again a big big big mistake by Toyota…again……and again. Toyota. Needs to fire the CEO and board members because people are pissed and leaving the brand….me included. Old Toyota’s are great by the way. Do better Toyota.
correct...it's like these kids think HP and torque from turbos are a new thang.....he will learn physics the hard way.
Round headlights all the way!! The rectangular ones--as configured on the LC--look way too "digital age," on a vehicle that is supposed to invoke a more retro-rugged theme. I'm probably in the minority but I don't like the FJ-inspired mirror proportions. My main gripe is the hump up in the back cargo area because of the hybrid configuration / battery, compromising the utility and versatility of that space especially as a camper.
Solid buy for longevity, long term ownership, value and reliability would be the 4R, we all know that at this point. Views for the channel would be the LC... and since your able to change cars and upgrade to new vehicles often, cost isn't an issue, maybe it's the LC this time.
4 banger turbo? You are as delusional as he is.
That thing looks sick!
4Runner in Terra, the color shouldn't make it to the lower trims like previous. It'd be like having a 2016 Quicksand 😍
As a 2022 4Runner owner, I probably would not have done this. That being said, if I needed a truck for light loads and trips, I would not have a problem with the Tacoma other than the ridiculous price.
You will love it I'm thinking about getting one too I just tried one out yesterday they very nice
Would love to see a non-hybrid option and a manual.
Same transmission as the new tacoma, which has overheating issues. Ill wait a bit before i make the switch
I like the retro look. And with the hybrid drive train, I am curious to see how high the fuel economy can be pushed, for a traditional style SUV.
I'm with you this is only Newer Toyota I would buy. I of course have a 23 Trd Pro 4runner so I'm good on the 5th Gen!😂
No consideration of the GX 550? Thought overtrain would be your vibe lol
You should watch The Car Care Nut's review on the Land Cruiser. He goes in depth on it and shows whats a good design and what is not. I'd say people just jump to conclusions that the reliability will be bad simply because it has a turbo.
Can’t have it both ways man. You’ve been crying for weeks. No you’re ready to pony up the cash. Doing it all for the clicks huh? I’m out.
Regardless of which one you buy, they will both retain their value. Let’s be real, less than 10% of folks keep their vehicles longer than 5 years. 5 years TOPS
i like the cloth seats , gives me !st gen vibes, very nostalgic.
Thanks for the video! I can't see myself paying 60k for cloth seats , Manuel seat adjustment for passengers, and cheap plastic. It does not add up.
I personally would not buy the new LC. I rather get the 6th gen 4Runner.
I wish they had the new LC without the hybrid system. My biggest gripe is the limited weight limit in the trubk.
Untamed your Toyota's are OVERRATED. that company is charging WAY more for their vehicles for what they are worth.
I don’t disagree with that one bit 👍
Cloth interior is crazy on a Land Cruiser imo. Were I to buy one of those new generation suvs, it would be the Lexus GX with the turbo 6.
I know you're NOT going to buy a 4 cyl gasoline turbo...
Congratulations Toyota. You’ve turned a high-end offroad legend into a 4WD Corolla.
you need a minivan with 4 kids my friend, these land cruisers are rich kids toys
I wish my 2023 Tacoma TRD OR had a light headliner, since it’s an Access Cab it would make the cabin feel brighter.
Well seeing on the dealers website, they still have a 1958 LC in white, and no 4Runner TRD Pros, so I think we know the answer.
I ❤ the cloth in the 1958! I checked one out at my dealership Auburn Toyota a few weeks ago...same with me, buyer backed out
Why does one model have round headlights and the other a more rectangular set of lights? Thanks
differences in design by model. Only the 1958 edition get the round lights
It looks cool but I don’t like the turbo engine idea . Land cruisers need natural asp v-8’s that’s the only thing missing from the vehicle. I’d get a rav4 or a 4Runner with that money but then I’d save it cause Toyota as a company who considers there customers and its prices are garbage now , really sad
If not time critical, when's the 25 4runner iForce available?
fall 2024….supposedly.
