A friend of mine was asking me why you guys use the same hill every time. I reminded him your in Texas! There ain't alot of hills to choose like here in Cali.
Truth! Atleast not near us for consistent filming. Also we use the hill as a standardized test for all vehicles. That being said, we have some off road adventures coming up for some variety. Thanks for watching!
I really like the review guys...some humor, but also some VERY honest opinions about what the vehicle is, and what it can do. Thanks for being real about it. Im tired of so many YooTuubers hating on what Toyota have brought out without having never even driven the truck.
I see what you’re saying, but it’s about impossible to demonstrate it up front since the rear wheel is what lifts first based on this rigs weight bias. We are able to show the rear wheel not lifting as much with the front sway bar disconnected. If the front wheels were lifting we would have shown that. Thanks for watching. 👍
1:05 toyota calls the land cruiser a 'wagon ' sounds better than S .U.V. , like the land cruiser grade head lights but the LC premium grade and first edition are in GX 550 price points if one doesn't order a lot of luxury junk on the GX550 ,but lexus will load them up not to complete with the LC price points
Aside from the rock rails, does it have any under body protection like skid plates? Also @5:40 don't you think that plastic binnacle is incredibly cheap given this thing is $76,000?
Agree that plastic cover is super cheesy. Sarah n Tuned did a review of one of these, she had it up on a lift and it does have very good steel skid plating from the radiator to the transfer case. Steel skid on the fuel tank as well.
I’m sorry but I can not take anyone seriously talking about off roading sandals and flip flops. Talk about lazy. Take a minute and get dressed in the morning.

Also it’s standardized test so we can see how different vehicles perform on the same obstacle. It’s a good thing they use the same hill.

Plenty of hills in Texas
Skip to 7:00 for the actual test
Thx

Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for watching! We will always be honest in our reviews.
I’m glad I got the GX550 Overtrail +
Nice,but i am concerned about the Hybrid battery and water getting in, in an off road situation.
It's not a Prado. The Prado is a type of 250, but the NA model is different
8:33 wow really impressive
Great video, gentlemen, nicely capable truck.
They sway bar disconnect is infront yet you are showing us the rear axe; bot the best way to demonstrate

Very nice, but very expensive.
How much is the actual ground clearance?
8.7 inches

It's not 465hp. It's like 326hp and 465lb/ft of torque.
That’s what we said. Sorry if we mumbled, we are really bad about that at times.
03:36, “horse power”. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. I heard the same thing as Seth. Good vid!

@@trailrunnah8886 thanks for the info! Are those skid plates on all versions or only the most expensive?
@@husshardan3511 I believe it's all versions of the Land Cruiser. Of course you're on your own to buy decent tires, haha.
@@trailrunnah8886 thank you!
Can I have first dibs to buy this when you guys are done making videos of it?
Every time I hear you guys say TTC I think of Tough Truck Challenge 🤣🤣🤣
Compared to an older LC or the ones you can buy outside the US, or the Grenadier, this thing is a joke.
That first try wasn't 2wd. You could see the front tire reach for grip.
I believe it is because this Landcruiser has standard full-time 4WD. It cannot go into rear drive only.
@@zmoorer ah. Ok got it. Thanks.
Correct!

Oh boy, if you think shoes make the man, then pavement might be the choice for you. None the less, thanks for watching!
