2018 Toyota Land Cruiser Review and Comparison
ฝัง

- Toyota's Land Cruiser is a modern Toyota enigma. It's the rarest Toyota sold in America and the most expensive vehicle sold here that wears a Toyota logo. It's also one of the oldest Toyota models on sale, wears one of the most iconic name badges in existence and has a reputation for bullet-proof go-anywhere ability. But, I wouldn't buy one. Why? All that and more is explained in this video.

Come back 10 years later and tell me if your RangeRover functions as easy as this Land Cruiser. Here in the middle east, I saw many people drive the Land Cruiser in the middle of the desert where every other vehicle boile down out of heat but Toyota vehicles keep going on. Nothing stops this car. People in the US always seem to neglect the main purpose of this car.
Great point.
We get the Land Cruiser Prado here in Trinidad either from the local Toyota franchise or as a grey import from Japan. These vehicles
have a ridiculously long working life and it's common to see a 30 year old model still on the road. There's a reason why Toyota doesn't push this in the US: you all don't normally have conditions like the rest of the world and don't keep cars for so long
Gregory Cooper, In North America we have the Toyota 4Runner at approximately 50% the price of the LandCruiser . It lasts a very long time as well.
But it is not a legend.
Mark E, Not yet.
In 20 years, when all the other SUV’s that were mentioned are in the junkyard, this beast will still be going.
People who can afford $90k car usually don't keep the car for over 10 years unless it's a collection.
@@whoeverwhoever400 lol wrong. I have 1990 Land Cruiser 70 series and 1998 80 series I bought brand new and still drive well.
@@whoeverwhoever400unless it’s a Land Cruiser.
The Land Cruiser is actually much better looking than the Lexus LX 570
Ikr
It is a classic design language. Lexus lx570 looks good too, but that's for the bling bling type customer.
I agree. I much prefer the LC.
I like the LX better. The LC looks plain.
To all the idiots complaining about the dated tech, fuel economy or price, you have to understand that this is a car designed to last you 25 years. Sure, it costs 90k, but you won't need another car ever again. Here in Europe it's cheaper and sold with a 3.0 diesel, so it gets good fuel economy, and it makes a lot more sense.
That's all well and good, but I'd rather start the 25 year clock at least somewhere in the 2010s, not in the 1990s. I drove a friends LC around the Hamptons and it was, without doubt, the worst "car" I have driven since my dad's Ford Pinto. Cramped, crashy, loose, slow, loud, rattle-trap. Full marks for reliability, but points off for actually having to live with it for 25 years.
Only Prado comes with 3.0 or 2.8 diesel engines wich is a smaller Land Cruiser, The Real Land Cruiser is usually with 4.2 Diesel or 4.5
I doubt we will ever see Toyota Diesels in North America. The ones you listed would not come close to meeting our tailpipe emission standards.
Here we go, pull out the "my buddy or my friend" game! LOL
Lol. Might be all that but the resale value on it SUCKS. Talk about depreciation. Ouch. I can buy one for half that on a three year old model.
I wonder if some people choose the Toyota Land Cruiser over the LX570 is specifically because they want to avoid something overly flashy.
They do.
And the land cruiser comes with a touchscreen and more std features. The lx doesn’t come standard with ventilated seats or heated wheel. Those are std on the land cruiser
Because in 10 yrs, you throw a land cruiser on bring a trailer and you'll get way more money for the land cruiser. Land cruiser is a classic and niche car following
@@naveenthemachineThe LX has ventilated seats and heated steering wheel. They are standard. I have a 2013.
Most of the people who hate on the Land Cruiser can only afford an 84 month payment on a Hyundai Santa Fe.
N L and they buy the cheapest trim
N L Please don't say like that. I own a Santa Fe and if i could afford, i would buy a Land Cruiser because not only i don't hate Land Cruiser, it's actually my Dream Car. But Santa Fe is actually not a bad car
‘The Taco is more capable than the Land Cruiser.’
You lost me before I even considered taking you seriously.
986C haha he seriously lost me too. I was literally laughing when he said that.
If you listened for 15 seconds more, you’d get it.
You've probably never taken an land cruiser 200 off road, the cv joints break regularly if you do any hard off roading cause its so heavy. The weight also makes it harder to go over mud.
Americans never going to get the point of the land cruiser. They love cheap unreliable Chevy Tahoe, Ford expedition full of chrome that can be purchased 3 years later for a half of the sticker price. those cars doesn't have market in other place of the world only in US. The land cruiser sells in many countries for more than 120K (diesel sahara) and is very popular SUV.
carmelo jose yes, you are so wise and better than everyone
It's because the US has the most advanced highway network and gas quality nationwide while the rest of the world the road condition and infrastructure demands something like a LC.
That's not true here in the Gulf countries we have some of the highest quality gas and the most used roads are good and the LC still sells like hotcakes.
I’m an American and I get the Land Cruiser. It is 100 times the vehicle than anything else offered here in the states. For whatever reason most here just don’t get it or don’t appreciate it for what it is, but there are a few like myself who do.
L. Jin Are you crazy??? Have you ever been anywhere?
Not a bad review, but the Yanks don't get it. Landcruiser has bullet proof reliability compared to Jeep and Range Rover/ Landrover etc. etc. In Australia it's more expensive than in the U.S. Sahara around $125,000 Aust. Lexus around $150,000 - with that over the top grill. The 'Cruiser is sold here with the petrol V8 or diesel, and no one buys the petrol. It outsells the Range Rover/ Land Rover by 10 to one, not to mention the unreliable Jeep. They are the vehicle of choice for towing (3.5 tons) and you see them everywhere. The Outback, towing horse floats, boats, trailers etc.etc. and will get you home every time. Dealership back up, and parts availability, are the envy of all other manufactures. The Yanks love their big pickups, and that's understandable - they are also sold here converted to right hand drive, and sell for the same price as the Landcruiser Sahara. They are nowhere near as reliable as the Japanese built 'Cruiser, and too big off road. The 'Cruiser is getting a bit long in the tooth, bring on the 300 Series.
@pmerk36 FCA reliability is a joke, especially compared to Toyotas.
@pmerk36 Grand Cherokee is a joke. Air suspension is a joke. The entire Chrysler lineup is a joke. An average Toyota is far better than an average FCA product in terms of reliability. There are plenty of Toyota products that are priced about the same as GC but would get you to places without the anxiety associated with Jeep's reliability (Tacoma, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser).
stop being negative this is a great vehicle
Well any automotive journalist will say if a car is boring, not fun enough, not fast enough, not luxurious enough, not efficient enough, then it’s a bad vehicle
@@naveenthemachine than. Not then.
Sorry: this is not a SUV. It‘s a Landcruiser. It will get you anywhere, and back again, not like the mentioned „competition“.
What about resale value? The Toyota Land Crusier is one of the best when it comes to holding its value
Great resale on $90,000 vehicles is still expensive as hell.
"The Toyota Land Crusier is one of the best when it comes to holding its value" -- What % of its original price will it command after 5 years?
what about the GM and Land Rover cars after 5 years? LOL
"what about the GM and Land Rover cars after 5 years? LOL" -- Point to me the comment above which claimed unusually high resale value for GM or Land Rover.
No. Depreciation sucks on these as it's such a niche vehicle.
I love the split hatch on the LC/LX and wish more companies offered it.
If you want to drive the best- Then drive a LandCruiser.
We get it. The LC is a packaging disaster. But none of that matters because people don’t buy this car for those reasons. If you want smart packaging, buy an Expedition. But the Expedition doesn’t get you in the Land Cruiser club.
Alex, since you really don't Off-Road or Overland much, you should stick to reviewing cars. You will not understand the priorities of these vehicles, which are quite different from say, a Toyota highlander. For instance, air springs is a no-no for serious off reading or over landing. The LX cousin is all show and luxury for people with deeper pockets, and yet you recommend that to the car buyer. Fair enough. One thing your reviews will never cover, understandably, is reliability and ruggedness. These are the highest priority for a Overlander. Towing, gas mileage etc are all important but not primary. You can "mod" a Land cruiser to match the best that they offer in South Africa and Australia, other than the diesels they have. However, HP has its advantages over torque alone even when off-roading, when momentum is critical, or desert running. BTW, 14.4 mpg on your display isn't bad, you get 13 in the city sometimes in the real world with other 4 wheelers with 6 cylinder engines.
Anant Dabholkar Agreed on the LX comment. For off-roaders, the LX isn’t as good a match as the LC given less clearance and more tech. That plus the LC’s name as the vehicle to aspire for - rugged reliability and comfort.
My 2016 Tacoma with 3.4l v6 drinks 16 miles per gallon. My next truck will be this!
Won Cho Exactly! My lifted 4Runner gets 14mpg on a good day, so if you’re used to low numbers, why not go for quality and comfort!
To be fair, the LX570 is a pretty sweet ride too. You have to really want the LC to get over the LX. Also, if you’re looking used, it’s much easier to find clean LX models - especially in Southwest US where rust isn’t an issue.
Exactly! That’s the whole point!!!!!
I'm amazed at how fast this is to 60mph given its basically 3 tons. Definelty not the point bit very respectful performance
Blake Swan yes
3 tons of fun.
Good thing only the rich own them as the gas consumption is incredible.
FrostWolf 26 5700 lbs is 2.85 tons. Google it. One ton is 2000 lbs.
Blake Swan agreed
Never heard so many negative comments about the LC before. Other than the gas mileage, reviewers around the world absolutely love this vehicle. What gives?
Great vehicle reviews Alex. You go in detail to explain interior, exterior and powertrains and even compare them to other like vehicles. As I and others are in the metric world, could I make a request for you to mention measurements in metric also.Keep up the good work Alex.
Alex, the Land Cruiser is $84k because it will still be roaming the planet in 30 years while the Range Rover has been recycled into soda cans. You are paying for everything important to be built to a standard above. IMO, that is the luxury of it. Think of it like an old Benz... before luxury became synonymous with disposable.
Tacoma more capable than the LC? You’re crazier than you look. Trust me, that’s an accomplishment.
Pet peeve: TH-cam auto journalists who review 3rd row seats as if they were meant for adults. They were designed for children! Next thing you now they will complain about fitting a 6 foot adult in the rear of the 911. They are for children!!!!!
Tinou Bao why don’t people understand this?
Its Bad on gas but screw that , it takes me anywhere I want and its super realable 🙂 and like I said, it can do almost anything a brand new 4x4 with lockers do 👌
This is bought by old money to avoid standing out. Lexus is too flashy, this version is just right.
The main value is its reliability and durability. In other parts of the world it is valued even higher for its reliability so that it will not get you stuck in the middle of nowhere and lasts exactly in that tough condition for decades comparing to vulnerable craps like Land rover, Ford and GM that breaks down just for nothing. And yet people in US just talk about leather, infotainment and on road handling. Those are joke for those who really take it for its real purpose. In my country more than half of every single car sold as new, are landcruisers which may sound insane but is true.
Miigaa, I live in the USA and I own a 2008 LC. I didn't buy it for the leather seats, infotainment, or paved road handling. So I guess categorizing all Americans into what you think they want is probably incorrect. I own a 2005 4Runner too which I feel is a better off road vehicle than my LC. My Toyotas have not been more reliable than the Ford pick up trucks that I own. All of my vehicles look new and I keep them in tip top condition. As a matter of fact, I'm having to replace the transmission in my 2008 LC which is very expensive and shows that not all Land Cruisers were built to last 25 years as mine didn't make it but 11 years. I've had no major repairs required on my 2002 Ford P.U. which in my opinion has been more reliable than my LC. Don't get me wrong, I like my Toyotas or I wouldn't own them. Toyotas break down like any other machine.
A Land Cruiser that only lasted 10 years? Talk about winning the lottery in reverse.
This is my powerball dream vehicle. Love these classic suv
22:55 - "This version of the Land Cruiser is obviously not as off road capable as some of the Land Cruisers that have come before it."
...
The 200 series took the top 2 positions at the 2014 Dakar Rally in the production car category, meaning no modifications to the entries. Stock only vehicles for this category.
Well good presentation, but your understanding of the the Land Cruiser is, well not well thought out.
The Land Cruiser is stealth wealth, quality, dependability and reliability. Those that understand, its getting you and your family there and back safely, dependably every time. That's why they buy a Land Cruiser.
In upper income, the smart money (not the new money) neighborhoods they are regularly seen, not because they want something that screams I spent a lot of money on this, they want something they can rely on and get them there (where ever there happens to be for them) comfortably, reliably and back every time. Those people also don't want repair bills that are never ending and insanely high, like a Land Rover or G wagon.
Yup here in Australia, we have Landcruisers with V8 Diesel twin turbos with snorkels.
I appreciate that Alex always does his homework/research on the vehicle being reviewed AND its' competitors. Kudos!
Hey Alex! Thanks for the videos! Two quick questions.
1. Why do you say the Tacoma is better than the 4Runner? I wouldn’t expect that.
2. How come you never mentioned the Sequoia in this review?
He meant better off-road in TRD pro mode, since it’s smaller, lighter, has a very similar 4wd system (crawl, multi terrain select) plus a rear locking differential. They also have better approach and departure angles.
why would you compare TLC to navigator or escalade ?
Great video. Very detailed and informative. Most other reviews seem to repeat the same stuff - you captured what a real buyer would want to know. Love the mention of soft/hard plastic areas. Subscribed!
Alex stick to kia and hyundai reviews.
LX is too fuggly. The LC200 looks way better... like a reliable touareg lol
the lexus 570 looks horrible. it's literally the last suv i'd buy.
There’s a saying in Australia “ if you want a car to go into the outback take a Land Rover, if you want to come home bring a land cruiser” this saying is so true and that is why the land cruiser is the best all round off-roader in the world. Unfortunate that you Americans only get the petrol as the 4.5 litre twin turbo v8 is one of the best engines ever made, bullet proof reliability, good fuel economy and a huge amount of torque and plenty of power.
LEXUS 570 vs lANDCRUISER is Gas vs Diesel.
US/ UAE = Gas.
Rest of world = Diesel.
That's why lexus 570 is more popular in the US.
simple as that.
You should come to Kalimantan and let's see what Range Rover and other else can do. LC always prove their slogan "KING OF THE ROAD" 👏👑👑👑
I know this video is a bit old, but all wheel drive and 4wd isn’t marketing. The Land Cruiser is true four wheel drive. Come to Colorado sometime and I can show you the difference!
If you have to worry about MPG then you have already been naturally priced out. Buyers who buy this Toyota Land cruiser don't care about mpg. They want reliability and low maintenance cost
I thought the main reason ppl choose LC is not because of its off-road capability but its longevity.
Need to compare to new 2019 G Wagon
Tacoma TRD Pro? What about the 4Runner TRD Pro? Seems a better comparison.
The argument by some is that the Tacoma is the more off-road capable option.
@@AAutoBuyersGuide It's not. The 4runner get the coils in the rear, much more flex, and it also gets a shorter wheelbase. More maneuverable and better break over.
Yes it's true but if you put bigger tires you will get more ground clearance even on solid axle.
Hilux, 70 series, Prado,105 series, 200 series, all good automotive genes.
Okay Mr Competition tell me if your Range Rover is running after 150,000 miles
Lost me when you tried to talk about ground clearance.
Sorry you have no idea sir
…..AH PARDIN ME...BUT THE 4RUNNER BEATS THE PANTS OFF THE TACOMA TRD.....;;--)),,,,,,,,,
The G-wagon has triple lockers and a solid front axle which are great for off-roading I agree. but the land cruiser has A-trac which is electronically uses the ABS system to brake the tires that are slipping and and putting the power to the wheel that needs it. And the land cruiser will cruise down crappy dirt roads much better than the G wagon... Maybe that’s why they are always wining Baja 1000’s and Dakar races. When Ford Raptors either place behind them or break down and don’t even finish... I don’t recall a G-wagon ever winning.
As far as the LX goes, I had both the LX you pay more and in the end the land cruiser sells for more in the used market... And are you kidding my you’ll rip the bumpers and running boards off the LX if you do any kind of serious off road. The land cruiser has much smaller side steps and the bumpers are much better for off-road. May get a litttle Road rash but won’t rip off like the lx bumpers and steps will. my wife drives the LX now as a family car and a vehicle we take moderately off road other wise I take the old land cruiser out to go more serious stuff and camping... have you seen the rear wheel flex with kdss? If you can’t flex you won’t have traction period... which is why Solid axles are better for off reading. Yes land cruisers don’t have that in the front because they opted for independent as a better option for what most people use land cruisers for. Getting to remote areas driving down crappy dirt roads... the land cruiser isn’t a rock crawler obviously look at its size.
I can go on and on as someone who has had 7 land cruiser and Lx’s
500k+ miles reliability with just regular fluid changes. Sign me up. Simplicity at its best.
You don't need to go to 60mph in 3-4 sec off road
It took forever for a new Gelandewagen, but now it's here, it's time for a new Land Cruiser, just like a new Tundra and Taco is needed.
Brian Winkler Toyota doesn’t do New, they like updating their model lines. That’s where their reliability comes from.
snakerb it sure seems that way and I agree that the aging models seem to help their consistent reliability, but the Camry, Corolla, and Avalon are new, so hopefully they’re working on their trucks.
The Tacos are brand new from last year.
Brian Winkler, Toyota is currently in the process of developing entirely new body on frame trucks and SUVs.
That is good news, and what I suspected, based on the sedans already updated.
This should have the diesel and the second fuel tank in the US.
Same for 4Runner for that matter.
There are tons of Land Cruiser reviewers I've heard from, but Alex you have truly laid down the exact definition and purpose of this vehicle and didn't leave anything out. Everyone says that it's too expensive and one should go for either a Jeep GC, Range Rover, or a Navigator. But now we know exactly why the Land Cruiser still exists and who should or would buy it. Also, I completely agree with your opinion about the Lexus LX. Do you feel that going for a Lexus GX may also be a reasonable chose over the Land Cruiser?
This guy doesn’t know what he is talking about! Do your homework before criticizing this amazing Vehicle the King of the Land!
I’m STUNNED by your claim that a Tacoma would outperform a 200 Series. You’re on glue. The Cruiser has a vastly more powerful engine, lockers, and is light years more comfortable. The Landcruiser simply overmatches the Tacoma by a wide margin. Look at the 200’s in the U.N. Fleet!
Additionally, clearance is addressed by larger tires!! the LX570 also has air suspension, which WILL fail. Booo
who's telling the truth because other reviewers say this is the most offroad capable of all SUVs now this reviewer say a Tacoma will beat this Cruiser now who really is telling the truth.
Tacoma over LC ? Did you take your pills before making this video
the buyer of a Land Cruiser knows what he/she is buying.
its weird how you pronounce toyota, sound like ToTa.
Here is Australia no one dare to go outback Australia alone any other vehicle than Landcruiser . Buy it maintain well it will keep you happy for decades.
You don't know what you are talking about in many points
i am agree , middle east AC systems are more powerful then we get in USA, when i saw Land Cruiser in Washington Auto show last year i was shocked because many things were missing under the body and inside .
I actually do NOT care about how much more of whatever anything else in the category has over the Land Cruiser. Why? It is a LAND CRUISER that is why. The overall build quality of this thing from bumper to bumper is STILL head and shoulders above the rest of the category despite any of its "drawbacks". These things just NEVER lose value. If I could afford one I would have one in my driveway right now.
"King off the road " is what they call them in Australia. They don't have the excellent resale they do for no reason here. We mainly buy the diesels here and they get around 13L/100 Kms. Not bad for a big truck.
It’s sad that the proceeds of the profits go back to the Japanese economy 😥 #supportamerica

Hey Alex, could you pull your jeans any higher? your package is really secured up there already.
Show me a perfectly working American Suv after 5 years of use, which has only done normal oil change and normal servicing anywhere in the world and I will salute you!
American Suv's are nothing but flimsy bullshit!
This person is while a very good presenter, he is completely off the track on the whole point of Land Cruiser and it's essence for the selection of different parts in the vehicle. I hope he literally spends enough off track/road time to understand the concept of Land Cruiser! This is literally the greatest vehicle to cruise the earth in entire history. Land Cruiser is like a reliable life partner, with whom you can go anywhere, however you want to. Even if the things are wrong, it's the one you can always depend on and will never nag or dissapoint you!
The difference in price between of lex and toy in Japan is much bigger. The Toyota is cheaper in Japan by a big margin. Usually the prices are similar between USA and Japan. Also I still don't understand the lack of LC150 in North America.
I do wish Toyota would redesign the LX, GX, Land Cruiser, Sequoia, and 4Runner. They really show their ages. They’re good vehicles but they look old compared to competitors
Would this apply to the older Gen Toyota and Lexus Land Cruisers or were they more off road capable? 🤔
2018 Land Cruiser ground clearance 8.9"
2018 Volvo XC90 ground clearance? 9.4" (plus higher with air suspension)!
Not that the Volvo can match it offroad, but it obviously is enough for 99% of users in the US. $60K fairly well loaded.
The LX570 looks like a basking shark so... NO
well the cruiser we got in the states is kinda the most plain cruiser cause in the UAE it has a lot of trim level starting from GX which is the cheapest and the VXR the highest or maybe the AX or ZX is the highest (i think,) in there you could get a cruiser with 4.0 v6 gas,4.6 v8 gas and a 5.7 v8 gas or an diesel 4.5 v8 twin turbo which is an option (according to wikipedia)
and you could even get one with a stick (manual transmission) but it is rare the cruiser there has a lot of flashy chrome part and sometimes it has a chrome bodykit or whatever it is called on it's bumpers and sometimes it has a 20 inch or 22 inch rims and it will come with an E - step board (on expensive trim levels) just search on google theres a lot of it for sale and BTW
Trim levels
GX - is the cheapest
GXR - MID range i think
VX - MID range i think
VXR AX ZX - HIGH END
(search it on google)
This car can take on any 4wd car fact.....
And a solid axle is one of the most durable and solid design that is commonly used in most 4wd setups
There is a saying in the 4wd community in Australia, “If you want to go into the outback take any 4wd, but if you want to come home again take a Toyota Landcruiser
‘It’s in the name.’ , ‘halo’? No mention at all of reliability and build quality to link back to its price? Really, zero mention at all? It’s the #1 reason people shell up for these.
I just bought a 2017 Landcruiser. Had 3 before. They are the best. This reviewer was great, but he forgot the most important disadvantage of the LX570. It has to have Super Unleaded gas. Which here in San Antonio is about 70 cents higher per gallon. For what?? 383 HP versus 381 HP? And these people who run regular unleaded in a LX570 could possible be hurting the longevity of that engine. I sure got tired of putting Super Unleaded gas in the 1999 and 2005 Landcruiser I had. These Landcruisers are holding their resale value better than the LX570. You can see this on Cars.com and Autotrader .... Another thing this reviewer is not aware of. Great review, except for the 2 MOST important items. Come on, Alex!!!
Like a lot of people have said-you dont know what you are talking about.How dare you compare the lexus with a LC and say its better? Better for what? The city Yes-offroad no, ruggedness, No, reliability, No, Looks, No, gadgets YES.You even lie and say Lexus looks better? For you, maybe, for the vast majority, the LC has that commanding presence starting with the Grille.Do some reseearch before you start misleading people like this.
No... the Tacoma would not. The AWD system on the LC is far superior and that platform/suspension is also far superior, yes, in the US version. But take all that away and just compared the vehicles as if They had identical systems and suspensions... the Tacoma has a MUCH longer wheel base even in its shorter configuration (bad), ground clearance is the only place Tacoma wins, but thats a easy and typical upgrade to LCs. the approach, departure and brake overs on the Tacoma are not as good as the LC and as little as they are, these are not a very cheap shortcoming to improve for the Tacoma (Lot of heavy expansive bumpers and some cutting) , these are the things that decide what works best off road. Then lets add the payload capacity, something that matters a lot when “overlanding”, the contest is over. The poor Tacoma and it’s horrible power is an even bigger dog once loaded up with all the usual stuff while the LC barely feels any of it. People like to bring up MPG but they forget what a done up Tacoma does in MPG after its all said and done and how little the same mods affect the MPGs on the LC, they are almost identical by the time a typical off road Tacoma is built and the LC is built. I have a 4runer, and I acknowledge that the LC is a superior platform and system than mine, never mind the Tacoma.
Disagree 100% you don't get it, as a Land Cruiser owner of multiple Land Cruisers and currently driving a 200 Series. Its more capable, more reliable and has a better resale value of all others you mentioned and has a high customer appreciation and big following of 2, 3rd owners ready to buy one. It dominates in Australian, Middle East and in Africa you can research that. th-cam.com/video/IXNDx_XgoKg/w-d-xo.html
Is Lincoln Navigator even worth mentioning in this conversation? Sure Navigator is much more bigger than a Landcruiser for one obvious reason, they're not exactly direct competition. Keep it in mind the Landcruiser has no direct competition. And, you are not gonna buy Landcruiser for all the tech and most comfortable car like what you're saying, you buy that car to go places that your Navigator wont take you and so as youre Range rover why? Cause I have never seen or heard a Range Rover dealership in the middle of the Moab and any Mountains here in the States have you?
This will outlive all humans on earth. As efficient or luxurious as the Range Rover or navigator or expedition may be, they simply can’t match the Toyota reliability of this beast and I don’t think the efficiency from the competitors can really compensate
Guy thinks the Tacoma is more capable, and recommends the Lexus LX (with its non existent entry angle). SMH. Do some research before shooting your video.
Extremely knowledgeable and therefore such a pleasure to watch. Thank you.
I dont think he knows how capable that land cruiser he drove is...is it more capable than a range rover and g wagon, just cuz the g wagon has front lockers and rear lockers does not make it more capable..a trac is soo good you dont even need lockers..the thing is merc and range..their systems will fail before the land cruiser runs out of gas.
I just can't buy a 570 with that funky body cladding. But I wish that Toyota had put a bit more attention into their flag bearer. Maybe next year.
If you going to the mountain drive a land rover if you want to get out of the mountain and go home alive drive simply a LAND CRUISER.
This guy........doesn’t get it. He should review vegetables.....
Plus the vehicle doesn’t lose value. Compare it with the LX and see used prices. Self explanatory.
Land Cruiser and Patrol are the best off-road SUVs ever
Is it an AWD? I thought this one is a 4WD.
The truck has no competitors... I have a 4Runner and still drool over this vehicle and the LX570.
Spoken by someone who barely knows jack about Land Cruisers.
I'm still trying to figure out why if you go to an Arab country or parts of Asia you will always find a lot of these things everywhere you go
It’s not based off of the Tundra.
The Tundra might share the frame that the LC generously is letting it use.
Could you possibly enunciate the word Toyota. At the moment you sound like you're calling it Dorothy's dog from the wizard of OZ
thanks alex!
Mate - You got it wrong on the Land Cruiser .
If Land cruiser is a dinosaur, what of Mercedes G wagon then?
It's a fossil. But I have a video on that for next week!
awesome!
