"Let's take the Range Rover sounds way cooler than let's take the Toyota." Except you're comparing a model to an entire make. They aren't equivalent. Nothing sounds cooler to me than "Let's take the Land Cruiser." It's the standard by which all SUVs should be compared.
Sergo Pedro Khoch wish u all the best . You guys are explorers :) im getting a 2010 V8 200.. everyone is welcome to comeback here to Norway and ski and drive in the mountain
***** Me too honestly, I lived there for 13 years, but I am natively from Egypt, I live in Canada now and while I enjoy it here I wish I could move back to Saudi Arabia.
yes itz a great vehicle.. but nowadays they go for tahoe as it is much cheaper and lx570 instead of full option land cruiser.. miss those days seeing land cruisers everywhere in the city
***** Every civilization in existence has offered at least one thing. To our defense, we Arabs have contributed equally to the world as much as Rome and even Greece. Many great works of art and literature were offered, the religion of Islam flourished from the Arab world, development of mathematical equations and the invention of Algebra, navigation tools, a strong economy mostly thanks to honest and fair merchants, explorers such as Ibn Battuta, excellent military strategists such as Salah-Al-Din(better known as Saladin) and innumerable other contributions.
+Raritan Hikikomori have you ever had to go to a mining site deep through the rainforest where the road is just plain Red mud using fully equipped LC 200? I have had, NO questions about its performance
I've drive one for 8 hours through Patagonia then spent a few hours driving around various parts of rocky, sandy soil while looking at wind projects- it's pretty darn capable and the comfort adds to the endurance- Don't confuse refinement with lack of ability Raritan.
In the rest of the world, this car is the number 1 offroader thanks to its bullet proof reliability and real off roading capabilities. No one buys Jeeps or any other brand except this Land Cruiser.
mak450 a little Google will not hurt. :) Even the UN uses only Land cruisers to reach war torn, no mans lands for their humanitarian missions. Have you seen them using a Jeep or Range Rovers?
zorkor A little google is usually what people who don't have any proof rely on, and in this case it doesn't return the results you seem to hope it would. For the UN to use Jeeps, Chrysler would first have to sell the things in quantities worldwide that would make them easy to procure for the UN's fleet. And last I checked the UN may not use _Range Rovers_, but they do use _Land Rovers_, as does the Red Cross, they also use Nissan Patrols. Now all that aside what is the Land Cruiser number one in? Again it doesn't seem to be sales, do you have any numbers to back this vague claim up?
zorkor I guess you didn't gather that I already did? Maybe I just ddin't google the right thing? Of course you couldn't tell me what it is I'm supposed to google...for obvious reasons. You don't actually have a leg to stand on, if you're gonna be a fanboy at least own up to it and don't fool yourself with verbiage like "number 1" to convince yourself of something that isn't true.
Poor review. Reliability and off road capability of land cruiser is legendary. Resale value of this truck is unmatched. Reliability of Range Rover is at the bottom of the list. Resale value of Range Rover is also at the bottom of the list. After 5 years, resale value of a 80K ranger rover is 17K. Even a toyota 4runner is higher than that.
i think he hit the nail on the head unless your going to use it off road your better off buying something else and if you can afford an 80k suv your not worried about depreciation .
Obviously you don't understand the Land Cruiser. It's a legend and no other SUV can compare to it. Yes it's expensive, but it's reliability and off road prowess is the stuff other SUV's can only dream of. Range Rover? Jeep? Give me a break. Land Cruiser retains its body on frame architecture while others have gone soft. It's soul carries on from the original and deserves the respect of the true legend it is. I am from America and I get it. Long live the Land Cruiser
I replaced my 1985 Land Cruiser with a 2012 Land Cruiser and I've been nothing but thrilled. It's a third car for us, used for long hauls, camping, towing etc. but I've never driven anything so comfortable and solid.
You forgot to mention resale, landcruisers like many toyotas hold there value extremely well. In 10 years it will be worth twice as much as it's competitors. I like the simpler Diesel V8 manual workhorses more than the luxury varieties shown here.
David S More than whatever country you're from for a start... That's exactly the point the guy was making, for the money and the fact that the Range Rover is superior in every possible way to the Lard Cruiser, it's fictional reliability problems are irrelevant.
Over here in Kuwait this model is extremely popular, probably the most popular SUV in the entire country. We love it because it's spacious, comfy and drives great in the desert.
In Qatar its our number 1 car coz its strong tough luxurious and flexible and very cheap maintenence and cheap parts, i own a 2015 Vxr premium edition and I'm saying from experience
In 2006 I bought new LC with idea to drive this car 20 years. So far, with 5-10% real offroad drive everything is still perfect on this car. I'm so satisfied. Excellent on the road, excellent offroad. Give him proper tires and regular maintenance and you can sleep well.
Terrible review for such an awesome car. He doesn't mention the resale value or the bulletproof reliability and the fact that no suv combines ride quality and off roading ability like this one
Viren Sanchit The Land Rover Discovery is one of the smoothest drives there is on the market but it is no where near as reliable as the Toyota. I own both a Discovery and Land Cruiser and when I go on tough off road drives I take the Land Cruiser everytime but when I am going down the far or into town I will more than likely jump into the discovery. But if I am going on real hardcore off road were their is a risk of damaging the vehicle I will use by 2002 defender and trash it.
Thank you for saying that Viren, o couldn't agree more. I don't think this reviewer is capable of delivering a real auto review. I am considering the Land Cruiser and was hoping for quite a few of my questions to be answered. All this guy did was give us shit. "It's better to say let's take the LA d Rover than the Toyota"? Really? So.e of us don't have the type of friends that would require us to speak like that. I'm interested in the car, not his opinions on what type of person I would need to be to own such a car.ill just have to pass on his future "reviews".
One of the best SUVs in the world. Our own military even uses Land Cruisers, a military base down the road from me armors Humvees and Land Cruisers. Once the Land Cruisers leave the facility in pairs either on a semi or train, they look like absolute beast with the modified suspension and large knobby tires.
I wish they would sell the GX model, which is the most basic version. also a diesel version. It would be so much fun to go offroad in the basic version
He completely disregards the legendary reliability and durability of these vehicles. The few that are out there usually go upwards of 250,000 miles before either being converted to full time off-roaders or shipped over seas to places where they will be run into the ground for the rest of their (long) lives.
No one every says "let's take the Toyota", they say "let's take the Land Cruiser", like "let's take the range rover" (if you're going to use model). Also, what does a 5 year old Range Rover or Pilot with 200k sell for? That is part of the LC value.
+Xentenon most people who buy Range Rovers never take them off road, little child. Go back to drinking your juice boxes and playing with your toy cars.
here in Kurdistan we have a lottttttttt of land cruisers and most of them are equipped with 4.0 L V6 and we even have 5 speed manual for the V6 and the V8
The 3rd row isn't awkward they're called jump seats. The land cruiser is the all around package with ruggedness , luxury, reliability and heritage. There is a reason used LC's are hard to come by...once you have one you never want to let it go. My next suv purchase will be an LC to go along with my 2012 4runner.
This review forgot to mention this Land Cruisers most rewarding attribute -- RELIABILITY! This SUV will still be on the road 30 years from now. As for the Range Rover, its plush, but wait till it's out of warranty and something breaks. No comparison between the two IMO.
Drove them for so many years across middle east, and all around the world in places that most people don't wanna even dream cause they'd wake up breathless and scared to death, and now i own a 21 Land Cruiser 200 US version and a 2017 LC diesel which i brought with me from Europe and love them both, they are beautiful but i find people are way more surprised hearing the diesel especially being in the US.
What the Toyota Land Cruiser is really about is long-term reliability, dependability, security and safety. It's a tank on wheels. In Mexico, several military grade level VR6 armored SUV's are Toyota Land Cruiser as well as Chevy Suburbans and Jeep Grand Cherokees. They carry about 2 tons of armor with ease, taking on potholes and speed bumps on the road, these cars last forever. Ford Crown Victorias don't come cheap but police departments and cab drivers love it. Mack trucks are not stylish but they are heavy duty machines. Land Cruisers are the equivalent of a Caterpillar for cars.
I take delivery of my 2015 GXL landCruiser text week. I chose it after a lot of consideration. My current ride is an extremely capable(well equipped) Toyota Prado TD3.0. I tow a 2500kg van with it and do some offloading as well. Why have I now bought a LC200? Well I guess it is because my current ride(see above) has 155,000Km on the clock and it has NEVER seen a workshop except for the ritual of regular services. Not a single rattle or squeak in 6 years. NOTHING! It is an amazingly reliable vehicle, just like my last Toyota (Celica). But that was back in the 80's. so what has happened in the mean time? Well I have had other 4x4's(Nissan and Isuzu) and all have required extra(parts) fitted in less than 100,000Km. Even had a 4x4 station wagon(GM), that was well lets say "ordinary" from the start. I was happy to stay with my Prado, but the thought of a V8 4.6L Turbo Diesel was too much to ignore. Effortless owning, towing and cruising... what more could I ask! Did I consider a rangee or such? Nah! Nice drive, look great, but poor build quality and ordinary reliability. Why would I buy something, to see it in the workshop, when I can be out on the road(or off road) in my Land Cruiser. Nobody does it better! Thats why they are the worlds top selling car. They just keep going with no fuss (I was going to say a minimum of fuss). Happy trails!!
Your review is not very good. You really shouldn't be derogatory to the vehicle segment. You should compare like vehicles, such as when comparing cargo space. Particularly when telling people what is valuable to them, which you shouldn't really be doing anyway, you might consider a like comparison, as opposed to telling people what sounds more cool. I am quite surprised their is evidence of such little research that you are making like comparisons to the offered ability of the Land Cruiser and the Sequoia. You really should hold your self to a higher standard. You can do a better job so you should.
This truck should be last car you ever buy, assuming you are 35 years old when you buy it and it should last you 35-40 years before needing anything on it.
The reviewer completely misses the point of a Land Cruiser. Compared to a Land Rover or Mercedes, the LC won't bankrupt you when it's out of warranty. If you have wealth but don't feel the need to rub it in everyone else's face, the LC is much lower key and blends in, while still giving you lots of interior luxury and significant off-road capabilities. Speaking of off-roading, the LC does it much better than the Nissan (Infinity), or the GM Escalade/Denali/Suburban siblings. Compared to the Sequoia, the cost comparison given here is misleading... You can't compare it to a base 2WD Sequoia, you need to compare it to a well-equipped 4x4 variant, in which case the price difference is currently less than 20%. Last but most definitely not least, the "value" in a Land Cruiser is in longevity. According to people interviewed at Toyota, parts on the LC are engineered around a 25 year service life, as opposed to a more standard 10 year service life for most vehicles.
There's just something cool about the Land Cruiser that the other SUVs don't have. It's an imposing/capable SUV but doesn't shout it. I'd honestly just lose the third row altogether to save space and for $80k, they could throw in real wood/metal trim. Other than that, I don't think any other SUV is as effortlessly cool (Lexus LX included)
@Kelley Blue Book Land Cruiser maybe just a couple of thousand dollars less than the base Range Rover though it's been quality proven around the world. It's said that the Range Rover likes to visit the mechanic's shop quite often.
Advantages over Range Rover, GL450 and QX80 are build quality, ability to go seriously off road, low maintenance costs, and the Land Cruisers residuals are awesome. If you want something thats going to stand the test of time buy the Land Cruiser. If you're leaser get a GL450. People forget how awesome Land Cruisers are just because they are a little bit dated and they haven't been redesigned since 2008.
+zorkor UN use these SUV in Pakistan I saw them with blue licence plate even one day terrorist attack those vehicle my driver saw the wreck and nobody from un survived
Very reliable car in any country, it can withstand anything, quite a famous car back in Ethiopia it can go through rough terrains plus it's easy for maintenance, in any part of the world I would choose a land Cruiser over any other car
You might be paying more for the Land Cruiser but what you get back is impossible to find. The combination of luxury, off-road capabilities, engine power, and most importantly reliability is something you will find in no other car. Yes, the Mercedes GL or Land Rover have the same (if not better) luxury and engine power but you'll be very lucky if they even last half as long as the Land Cruiser will.
Rather have a Land Cruiser over a Range Rover…. Reliability, resale and SO much more. I echo a lot of the comments on this video that also disagree with KBB’s thoughts on the legendary Toyota LAND CRUISER!
tons of people might not know the fact. Now car markets and car industry are very complicated. Toyota is a Japanese company but in fact in terms of Toyota suv, Americans design, develop, and make itA in US. Actually some Japanese import Toyota or Lexus SUV from US. As for fancy sport cars, America is ....... but they are so great at developing SUV, I think they are the best. The other Japanese companies are almost same as it. I'm a Japanese, I feel a little bit sad but it's good for car industry. People who make something good should make it.
The 2018 Land Cruiser is a very expensive SUV, maybe even "Toyota's most expensive vehicle". But I agree with Toyota, and all the other Car Reviews. The Land Cruiser is an amazing car, It also looks like the Sequia but a way better version. If I had the money I would definitely buy a Land Cruiser, that's why you don't see most of these Land Cruisers on the roads and Highways, Its not a cheap car but it is worth it.
Wow... People think this car is a legend. Jeep is #1 if you can get them in their country. That's why this car is popular around the world due to Toyota being a bigger corporation.
It is very clear to all that the Landcruiser is the very best suv on the planet. apart from the Lexus 570 which is built on the same platform with added features.
A 5 year old Chevy traverse SUV with a 100k miles or a vehicle comparable would be on its way to a junkyard.... A 5 year old Toyota land cruiser is on its way to a new 2nd owner! Looks brand new sounds brand new steers drives off roads accelerates stopes & starts as good as brand new ..... Toyota has reliability meaning less time off work less $ spent at the shop..... Toyota builds high quality vehicles for the people they want to please & for you to enjoy the toyota brand vehicle as you'd like.... Be awesome to see the comparisons you chose try n keep up on all that terrain fully loaded with people in every seat !!!
I will say that land cruiser have more rep every where else around the world except in the US. I will say though is that when landcruiser get 5+ years old they are hard to get and I've seen a lot for sale with 200k+ on them
If you think, that taking a range rover is cooler(or at the very least sounds cooler), you should not be reviewing one of the most revered car series in the off road world
The Toyota land cruiser was the word first 4WD vehicle it has almost 70 years of being out there starting by the land cruiser BJ 40 which came out in 1951 and they forgot to say about the land cruiser Prado is in the same family almost the same thing and is V4 I belive and it has a great off road capibility lest take the Toyota !!!!
It might not be a right choice to buy this in the U.S. for its price. However, here in the Philippines, the price of a Range Rover or the Mercedes Benz's GL class are at least $20,000 priced more than the Land Cruiser. So, the logical choice for a powerful workhorse is the Toyota. Plus, we get the 4.5L twin turbo diesel engine, which is great!
Kiddomike in the philippines, the price of this vehicle is equivalent to a $100.000 because of the crazy tax here. you can buy a range rover for that kind of money in the US
yeah I also heard about engines which have 3000 cc and up have lower taxes. still surprises me a lot of people can buy this car here not only politcians.
True. It became more affordable due to numerous re-sellers of grey-market LC200's. Honestly, I see more grey-market LC200's than the local distributed VX model, which should not be the case. If Toyota sees that the country has a good number in sales, there is a probability that they would improve on the VX model or maybe even offer more varian. Now that you mentioned it, it is unfortunate that this very capable vehicle that has a proud history is even associated with corrupt officials. In my opinion, I think those corrupt officials who owns an LC200 is giving not only the vehicle a bad image but also the driver of privately-owned Land Cruisers as well.
WHEN DOOMSDAY ARRIVE, I WILL BE IN MY LAND CRUISER. ITS WILL SURVIVE ANY NUCLEAR BLAST! IT WILL KILL ALL ZOMBIES. IT WILL TAKE ME TO MY UNDERGROUND BUNKER WHERE I WATCH ALL THE PEOPLE WITH LAND / RANGE ROVERS DIE OF STUPIDITY BUT IN FASHION. LOL. LONG LIVE KING CRUISER!
its the fuel economy why in Aus, the serious off roaders and towers will often use the td; btw its my understanding the Landcruiser dominates the outback scene in Aus. Even in top spec its tens of thousands cheaper than a full Range Rover or Merc GL
***** While quite capable the Landcruiser's size is a major liability. The smaller 4Runner, despite our experience getting stuck, would definitely be my choice for serious off road adventures.
You miss the point on the land cruiser. Those other luxury SUV's are not made to go 25 years with few problems. Many of the ones you compared can't tow either. Then only one that makes since as a cheaper alternative is the Sequoia. But do some reading on how Sequoias at 10 years old are holding up vs. Land Cruisers and you can start to see why the Land Cruiser is what it is and cost so much. Some people actually want a vehicle that can last rather than throw away cars.
shoulda made a 30k landcruiser that you wont care about taking offroad, ditch all that luxury and bring it back to its roots, glad they didn't do this to the 4 runner/taco/fj, affordable and offroadable
+MrSoloTron No it's just perfect this SUV is well equipped and its powerful and reliable the price is good when you look at other SUVs like the Range rover which is unreliable and overpriced
Resale can justify the higher price- also look at the competition and what you get. $110k for a RR which drops 70% in 4 years and breaks down or $81 for an LC which may drop 40% in 4 years and will run 500k?
"Let's take the Range Rover sounds way cooler than let's take the Toyota."
Except you're comparing a model to an entire make. They aren't equivalent. Nothing sounds cooler to me than "Let's take the Land Cruiser." It's the standard by which all SUVs should be compared.
No one says Toyota. Ever. Definitely not when it’s the frigging Land Cruiser!
@@rickyrgx LAND CRUISER BEYOND any SUV.. TRY IT FOR ONE WEEK..

but nowadays they go for tahoe as it is much cheaper and lx570 instead of full option land cruiser.. miss those days seeing land cruisers everywhere in the city
***** They are more popular than Range Rovers probably due to the fact they are cheaper to buy and repair, and are significantly more reliable.
***** For once? Arabs are pretty smart people and have offered a lot to civilization. Take your idiotic remarks elsewhere.

mercedescl no not really ...we don't see UN cars often ...it is all civilian cars ... even I had one for a month and trust me it a one hell of a car
mercedescl hahaha EPIC!
The 3rd row isn't awkward they're called jump seats. The land cruiser is the all around package with ruggedness , luxury, reliability and heritage. There is a reason used LC's are hard to come by...once you have one you never want to let it go. My next suv purchase will be an LC to go along with my 2012 4runner.
This review forgot to mention this Land Cruisers most rewarding attribute -- RELIABILITY! This SUV will still be on the road 30 years from now. As for the Range Rover, its plush, but wait till it's out of warranty and something breaks. No comparison between the two IMO.
***** Lexus lx ftw
every one drives a land cruiser here, in dubai the best car for desert off-roading in my opinion.
Drove them for so many years across middle east, and all around the world in places that most people don't wanna even dream cause they'd wake up breathless and scared to death, and now i own a 21 Land Cruiser 200 US version and a 2017 LC diesel which i brought with me from Europe and love them both, they are beautiful but i find people are way more surprised hearing the diesel especially being in the US.
What the Toyota Land Cruiser is really about is long-term reliability, dependability, security and safety. It's a tank on wheels. In Mexico, several military grade level VR6 armored SUV's are Toyota Land Cruiser as well as Chevy Suburbans and Jeep Grand Cherokees. They carry about 2 tons of armor with ease, taking on potholes and speed bumps on the road, these cars last forever. Ford Crown Victorias don't come cheap but police departments and cab drivers love it. Mack trucks are not stylish but they are heavy duty machines. Land Cruisers are the equivalent of a Caterpillar for cars.
The benefit these have over the other luxury SUV's is supreme reliability, and the fact that the resale value on these things is insane.
who told you to take the TIYAETA??? you have a land cruiser and just say let's take the land cruiser. now that sounds better than range rover.
I take delivery of my 2015 GXL landCruiser text week. I chose it after a lot of consideration. My current ride is an extremely capable(well equipped) Toyota Prado TD3.0. I tow a 2500kg van with it and do some offloading as well.
Why have I now bought a LC200?
Well I guess it is because my current ride(see above) has 155,000Km on the clock and it has NEVER seen a workshop except for the ritual of regular services. Not a single rattle or squeak in 6 years. NOTHING! It is an amazingly reliable vehicle, just like my last Toyota (Celica). But that was back in the 80's. so what has happened in the mean time? Well I have had other 4x4's(Nissan and Isuzu) and all have required extra(parts) fitted in less than 100,000Km. Even had a 4x4 station wagon(GM), that was well lets say "ordinary" from the start.
I was happy to stay with my Prado, but the thought of a V8 4.6L Turbo Diesel was too much to ignore. Effortless owning, towing and cruising... what more could I ask!
Did I consider a rangee or such? Nah! Nice drive, look great, but poor build quality and ordinary reliability. Why would I buy something, to see it in the workshop, when I can be out on the road(or off road) in my Land Cruiser. Nobody does it better!
Thats why they are the worlds top selling car. They just keep going with no fuss (I was going to say a minimum of fuss). Happy trails!!
Your review is not very good. You really shouldn't be derogatory to the vehicle segment. You should compare like vehicles, such as when comparing cargo space. Particularly when telling people what is valuable to them, which you shouldn't really be doing anyway, you might consider a like comparison, as opposed to telling people what sounds more cool. I am quite surprised their is evidence of such little research that you are making like comparisons to the offered ability of the Land Cruiser and the Sequoia. You really should hold your self to a higher standard. You can do a better job so you should.
are you kidding? Please tell me this car is 15 years old...
Love the reviews guys, very elegant ! Keep it going :)
This truck should be last car you ever buy, assuming you are 35 years old when you buy it and it should last you 35-40 years before needing anything on it.
+Y10Q I'm 36, and that's exactly my plan :-) Maybe getting one next week. Fingered crossed!
the king of all off-road
The reviewer completely misses the point of a Land Cruiser. Compared to a Land Rover or Mercedes, the LC won't bankrupt you when it's out of warranty. If you have wealth but don't feel the need to rub it in everyone else's face, the LC is much lower key and blends in, while still giving you lots of interior luxury and significant off-road capabilities. Speaking of off-roading, the LC does it much better than the Nissan (Infinity), or the GM Escalade/Denali/Suburban siblings. Compared to the Sequoia, the cost comparison given here is misleading... You can't compare it to a base 2WD Sequoia, you need to compare it to a well-equipped 4x4 variant, in which case the price difference is currently less than 20%. Last but most definitely not least, the "value" in a Land Cruiser is in longevity. According to people interviewed at Toyota, parts on the LC are engineered around a 25 year service life, as opposed to a more standard 10 year service life for most vehicles.
Aussies love our Land Cruisers
Is the twin turbo diesel model available in America? We have it here in Australia and it is epic.
giantranga414 they don't sell the diesel engine in America
There's just something cool about the Land Cruiser that the other SUVs don't have. It's an imposing/capable SUV but doesn't shout it. I'd honestly just lose the third row altogether to save space and for $80k, they could throw in real wood/metal trim. Other than that, I don't think any other SUV is as effortlessly cool (Lexus LX included)
Upload an off road review or behind the scenes of this car please!
@Kelley Blue Book Land Cruiser maybe just a couple of thousand dollars less than the base Range Rover though it's been quality proven around the world. It's said that the Range Rover likes to visit the mechanic's shop quite often.
A Range Rover may be "cooler," but the Toyota would be way more reliable and cheaper to own over the life of the vehicle.
David S i want to see how "cool" this guy will be when his Range Rover has broken down in the middle of the woods or in the middle of the desert
0:56 that looks like it's straight out of a mid range 2002 car...
Advantages over Range Rover, GL450 and QX80 are build quality, ability to go seriously off road, low maintenance costs, and the Land Cruisers residuals are awesome. If you want something thats going to stand the test of time buy the Land Cruiser. If you're leaser get a GL450. People forget how awesome Land Cruisers are just because they are a little bit dated and they haven't been redesigned since 2008.
In Pakistan it sells like hot cakes, in fact most sold SUV here well because of the monotony of Toyota here.
Its the best off road vehicle in all parts of the world except USA.
Some of them are sold illegally
+zorkor UN use these SUV in Pakistan I saw them with blue licence plate even one day terrorist attack those vehicle my driver saw the wreck and nobody from un survived
Very reliable car in any country, it can withstand anything, quite a famous car back in Ethiopia it can go through rough terrains plus it's easy for maintenance, in any part of the world I would choose a land Cruiser over any other car
Range Rover for dummies
Land cruiser for true quality seekers
Climbing on a tow truck to the mechanic shop would be the most off road trip in a range rover
Is the LX or Land Cruiser better?
KING OF THE LAND CRUISER!!!
has axle in back to gt over logs. the old ones had axle upfront to. all the rest have indep. old g wagon has axle n wrangler but its fancy
umm i would say lets take the land cruiser over the ranger rover any day
not a great value? Land Rover? landcruiser will always be an icon off-road vehicle. some are 25 years old still on the streets to this day.
You might be paying more for the Land Cruiser but what you get back is impossible to find. The combination of luxury, off-road capabilities, engine power, and most importantly reliability is something you will find in no other car. Yes, the Mercedes GL or Land Rover have the same (if not better) luxury and engine power but you'll be very lucky if they even last half as long as the Land Cruiser will.
20years later this car will still be on the road
Considering how long these things have been known to last, could potentially be a value
Rather have a Land Cruiser over a Range Rover…. Reliability, resale and SO much more. I echo a lot of the comments on this video that also disagree with KBB’s thoughts on the legendary Toyota LAND CRUISER!
Great locations Micah! $81,000 seems a lot thou
Toyota Land Cruiser, by far the best 4x4 i have ever seen... No wonder toyota has a meaning that implies- The One You Only Trust Always(Toyota)
Is it weird that this is truck is beginning to be my dream car?😂
tons of people might not know the fact. Now car markets and car industry are very complicated. Toyota is a Japanese company but in fact in terms of Toyota suv, Americans design, develop, and make itA in US. Actually some Japanese import Toyota or Lexus SUV from US. As for fancy sport cars, America is ....... but they are so great at developing SUV, I think they are the best. The other Japanese companies are almost same as it. I'm a Japanese, I feel a little bit sad but it's good for car industry. People who make something good should make it.
The 2018 Land Cruiser is a very expensive SUV, maybe even "Toyota's most expensive vehicle". But I agree with Toyota, and all the other Car Reviews. The Land Cruiser is an amazing car, It also looks like the Sequia but a way better version. If I had the money I would definitely buy a Land Cruiser, that's why you don't see most of these Land Cruisers on the roads and Highways, Its not a cheap car but it is worth it.
Wow... People think this car is a legend. Jeep is #1 if you can get them in their country. That's why this car is popular around the world due to Toyota being a bigger corporation.
It is very clear to all that the Landcruiser is the very best suv on the planet. apart from the Lexus 570 which is built on the same platform with added features.
Love ALL my Land Cruisers not a bad one in batch over
60 years
A 5 year old Chevy traverse SUV with a 100k miles or a vehicle comparable would be on its way to a junkyard....
A 5 year old Toyota land cruiser is on its way to a new 2nd owner! Looks brand new sounds brand new steers drives off roads accelerates stopes & starts as good as brand new .....
Toyota has reliability meaning less time off work less $ spent at the shop.....
Toyota builds high quality vehicles for the people they want to please & for you to enjoy the toyota brand vehicle as you'd like....
Be awesome to see the comparisons you chose try n keep up on all that terrain fully loaded with people in every seat !!!
I will say that land cruiser have more rep every where else around the world except in the US. I will say though is that when landcruiser get 5+ years old they are hard to get and I've seen a lot for sale with 200k+ on them
Where is the kordestan ????
Love my Land Cruiser! :)
Your thoughts....Land Cruiser or LX570?
You recommended other cars for more value, and all of them aren't in my country except for the Honda Pilot. :l
Epic music for the cruiser
The modern Land Cruiser has one benefit over Infiniti, Range Rover, and Mercedes-Benz: it rarely breaks.
Awesome good looking car
If you think, that taking a range rover is cooler(or at the very least sounds cooler), you should not be reviewing one of the most revered car series in the off road world
The Toyota land cruiser was the word first 4WD vehicle it has almost 70 years of being out there starting by the land cruiser BJ 40 which came out in 1951 and they forgot to say about the land cruiser Prado is in the same family almost the same thing and is V4 I belive and it has a great off road capibility lest take the Toyota !!!!
“Let’s take the Range Rover!” Sounds great until you’re stuck on the side of the road
It might not be a right choice to buy this in the U.S. for its price. However, here in the Philippines, the price of a Range Rover or the Mercedes Benz's GL class are at least $20,000 priced more than the Land Cruiser. So, the logical choice for a powerful workhorse is the Toyota. Plus, we get the 4.5L twin turbo diesel engine, which is great!
Kiddomike in the philippines, the price of this vehicle is equivalent to a $100.000 because of the crazy tax here.
you can buy a range rover for that kind of money in the US
Very true. Plus the fact that we have free trade with Japan, cost of shipping Japan-made cars are significantly less than other brands.
yeah I also heard about engines which have 3000 cc and up have lower taxes. still surprises me a lot of people can buy this car here not only politcians.
True. It became more affordable due to numerous re-sellers of grey-market LC200's. Honestly, I see more grey-market LC200's than the local distributed VX model, which should not be the case. If Toyota sees that the country has a good number in sales, there is a probability that they would improve on the VX model or maybe even offer more varian. Now that you mentioned it, it is unfortunate that this very capable vehicle that has a proud history is even associated with corrupt officials. In my opinion, I think those corrupt officials who owns an LC200 is giving not only the vehicle a bad image but also the driver of privately-owned Land Cruisers as well.
What a beautiful truck.
You do not mention resale values
Isn't the LX570 nearly the same price lol??
PremierAutoMan86 because its the same SUV but with a better interior leather and real wood
Best SUV ever created on earth period.
Buy this and no need to buy another car for 25 years. These things last forever.
WHEN DOOMSDAY ARRIVE, I WILL BE IN MY LAND CRUISER. ITS WILL SURVIVE ANY NUCLEAR BLAST! IT WILL KILL ALL ZOMBIES. IT WILL TAKE ME TO MY UNDERGROUND BUNKER WHERE I WATCH ALL THE PEOPLE WITH LAND / RANGE ROVERS DIE OF STUPIDITY BUT IN FASHION. LOL. LONG LIVE KING CRUISER!
its the fuel economy why in Aus, the serious off roaders and towers will often use the td; btw its my understanding the Landcruiser dominates the outback scene in Aus. Even in top spec its tens of thousands cheaper than a full Range Rover or Merc GL
Micah, when you said $81K my mouth dropped! It's still dropped. I need help. I've never seen the Toyota Sequoia. who buys them? ;)
I'll send a floor jack your way to help with the jaw situation.
***** hahaha epic! :D
***** While quite capable the Landcruiser's size is a major liability. The smaller 4Runner, despite our experience getting stuck, would definitely be my choice for serious off road adventures.
You miss the point on the land cruiser. Those other luxury SUV's are not made to go 25 years with few problems. Many of the ones you compared can't tow either. Then only one that makes since as a cheaper alternative is the Sequoia. But do some reading on how Sequoias at 10 years old are holding up vs. Land Cruisers and you can start to see why the Land Cruiser is what it is and cost so much. Some people actually want a vehicle that can last rather than throw away cars.
shoulda made a 30k landcruiser that you wont care about taking offroad, ditch all that luxury and bring it back to its roots, glad they didn't do this to the 4 runner/taco/fj, affordable and offroadable
$81K... is a ridiculous price!
+MrSoloTron For poor people, it is.
+MrSoloTron
No it's just perfect this SUV is well equipped and its powerful and reliable the price is good when you look at other SUVs like the Range rover which is unreliable and overpriced
@aeon it's over priced for middle class. Middle class is not poor.
Resale can justify the higher price- also look at the competition and what you get. $110k for a RR which drops 70% in 4 years and breaks down or $81 for an LC which may drop 40% in 4 years and will run 500k?
