I previously owned a Hilux, it never failed an MOT and had 150k miles on it, I now own a SWB Landcruiser commercial, it’s absolutely fantastic, it’s a works vehicle and does a lot of off road driving, it’s faultless.
@@jimjoelliejack We don't have anything like MOT inspections, so I don't know what they entails. I average around 18,000 miles a year and went 12 years on my 2011 Ram 2500 with only routine maintenance, brake pads (2 sets) and tires (seems like thousands), 8 batteries (in pairs, has two in the truck), and two replacement headlamp sockets. I did swap out the front wheel bearings for a free-spin manual hub setup, but that was quite early on. I would guess that it wouldn't have passed your MOT when it was delivered from the factory. First major scheduled service is at 350,000 miles and I sold it before I got there.
I am a technician for Toyota in the Uk, The landcruiser 2023 with the impressive 2.8 2GD engine is one of the most modern reliable vehicles on the market right now the only draw back is the adblue, the vehicle shown is the Invincible trim level (top spec) as it’s a Toyota press vehicle. The commercial grade ones are my favourite 😎🙌
I have had one, 2023, now for a week., It is sluggish, heavy, burns fuel like a drunk sailor on first day onshore, lacks all modern quality in the cabin, no special AC for the back seats, no 220V electrical plugs, and it breaks like a tank, with an elephant inside. It is crazy how much it sells, it really is extremely outdated and not really a good car. I miss my Skoda Kodiaq, better in all sense
@@hatunid you’ve obviously got a lemon , mines doing 36 mpg, goes down to 18 when I’m towing, had a mobile crane pull out on me whilst doing 60 mph and stopped in 15 metre in a straight line. It’s basic but it’s got all I need. It looks good and I’ve never owned a car that people compliment me on. Swop yours for a new defender, in 6 months re write your feelings.
@@jimjoelliejackHey mate. I'm looking at these (always wanted a 100 series 'Amazon' but it's been too tricky to find a decent one). You'd recommend the LC150? I don't give a shit about tech. Just want a comfortable, reliable 4 wheeler which doesn't scream 'prick'.
@@SeaJayBelfast mines a commercial SWB version 23 plate, it’s brilliant, my work takes me into some very remote off road areas, hasn’t let me down once, it got me across a freshly ploughed field today ,no issues.
@@hatunid lacks modern quality in the cabin ? Most ridiculous comment ive seen all day. Built to last, comfy ride. I think you miss the point entirely about the Land Cruiser.
Correct. Ive just seen a comment about this car on here, an absolute joker. Clearly he hasn’t a clue what this car is about. Its the same as someone driving the Subaru Forester hybrid with CVT and expecting it to move like a BMW X5 M50d !
Honestly, we will never know, since the UK changes it's mind so much. Best guess is 2030 and hope they don't go insane. Looking forward to the new land cruiser.
I see no negatives with this car because like every other car, it does what its designed to do. Why does everyone compare to other makes and models ? Pointless. Ive had loads of cars over thirty years, each time I bought one I never compared it to another car that I wasn’t interested in buying. Weird people today, never happy, always moaning they don’t like this or that. Well don’t buy it then.
If someone is a BMW fan perhaps, with its engine and transmission. A decent car but looks like a bad copy of the last shape Defender and the current G wagon.
Please mate, don't be epically stupid and compare any Land Rover product to Land Cruiser. That is unless you like sitting in a dealers showroom, filling up warranty forms.
Old fashioned, really bad infotainment, not too comfortable, very wide seats, heavy, underpowered. I have a 2022 Prado, it is tiring to drive, and it uses a lot of fuel. Do not recommend at all.
Pretty stupid how they're still flogging that thing with no hybrid yet available. Pushing to sell what's most profitable powered by decades old engines. This Landcruiser will spend 99% of its miles with hatchback runarounds. But hey, it'll probably get business tax benefits.
I hate UK that's a Prado, rebadged as Landcruiser. Thats not a Landcruiser bro. This isn't the real Land Cruiser but Prado The Real King of All SUV Kings Land Cruiser 300 is Not coming to Europe nor USA but only Asia, Australia, Africa, etc Only Baby Land Cruiser Prado for Europe and USA
@@rich7447 Its not less reliable but as reliable as a land cruiser. Plus rolls royce like build quality matching that of maybach. Just sit in a fully loaded g400d. You can add 18 inch wheels with 285 tyres and it will give you a sedan like ride quality. Its a vault like experience. Its just more expensive and will require more money for maintenance. Thats the only difference. Its a maybach jeep in a sense.
Probably the best suv I ever had. Much much better than range rover, merc g class & bmw x7.

150,000 miles is not very much.
@@rich7447 it’s not a lot of miles but my point is it never failed an mot, now that is a lot of miles.

Disco and Defender will spend more time in the workshop!
It is a body on frame SUV, not a sports sedan. Judge it based on criteria that a BOF SUV is designed for.

Is it okay to buy diesel car in UK, Nd how long can we use without any tax increase, can anyone explain..
Honestly, we will never know, since the UK changes it's mind so much. Best guess is 2030 and hope they don't go insane. Looking forward to the new land cruiser.
Spare tyre placement is only negitive thing i dont like on my 2010 cruiser.

What about the Ineos Grenadier as another alternative.
The “British” landrover defender that’s built in France by a brexiteer you mean ? 😂
That thing is junk and so is the owner of Ineos.

Do you have one?

If you want a hybrid car you can find it in the market. Toyota have hybrid cars but they are not supposed to turn every of their cars hybrid
And for getting stolen. Gallons Per Mile vehicle only for rich.
I hate UK that's a Prado, rebadged as Landcruiser. Thats not a Landcruiser bro. This isn't the real Land Cruiser but Prado
The Real King of All SUV Kings Land Cruiser 300 is Not coming to Europe nor USA but only Asia, Australia, Africa, etc
Only Baby Land Cruiser Prado for Europe and USA
We get the LC300 in the US as a Lexus LX 600. The older LC200 was sold in the US with a Toyota badge, but the LX570 outsold it 4 to 1.
Are you stupid? There s no one Prado for USA! Land Cruiser is not suv its a рамный внедорожник!
And you don't have money to buy an old land cruiser even old prado 😅
Land cruiser prado!!!
The G Class Merc is far better
Its is a bit better but not far and also its more expensive. The beige interior prado looks fantastic.
@@oriondoublecrossed He's one of those My Dingaling is bigger than yours. Toyota Land Cruiser have been tested and have the seal of approval.
@@xzing7 yup
The G wagon is less reliable, slightly smaller and a lot more expensive. What does it do better?
