Great review John. Used this in my research prior to purchasing one.
Looking to upgrade the wire's TRD Pro 4Runner in the next year but man I just don't know what it will be. Would love to see a newer smaller LC type like the Prado. Something with good power and fuel efficiency would be nice. Right now our only option looks like the 6th gen 4Runner or a possible revamped GX. I'd love to see a new GXOR with a V8 or TTV6.
A top trim Escalade, Navigator, or Yukon Denali all cost the same and will all be on a used car lot in 5 years with a check engine light on….for 30 grand. The Land Cruiser will just be breaking in.
You can thank Detroit lobbyists for the price. They got the gov’t to put a $25k terrif on them.
Hey Jon, the next upload you should do a premier and reply to peoples comments on the live, since its close to July 4th
I’ve wanted to do that. But I always seem to upload late at night. Definitely need to get on a better schedule.
@@TRDJon maybe 4:50 pm would be a great time, most people out of school or work
I myself have a 17 TRDPRO in Cement that I love ❤️ but when I heard the LC was going away I searched for one and even though it was an arm and a leg I wanted one because we wouldn’t see the in the US ever again.Do I regret paying so much?#Nope
You were the 2nd person to claim they bought the LAST Land Cruiser in America … FUNNY 😂
Don’t care about the dislikes I still want one of these
Thought there were already pics out of the new, completely redesigned cruiser...
Nothing Lasts forever eh! with that price point competition will be stiff, most people in that price range won't be doing Overlanding! its a proper off roader for sure, just wondering where the tow hooks are located? I bet your gonna miss it greatly!
They should kill the Sequoia and offer the LC in different trims at a lower price point.
Good video 👍🏽
I disagree with you on the roof rack! Love it! It says "I'm a off road beast!" " Go anywhere " "do almost anything " "iconic off-road namplate"
Very nice! 👌🏾
Congratulations
Thanks for watching. Yet I just feel it’s cheap and could do better than a basket
Agree @@TRDJon. I took mine off mostly so that I could park in my garage and avoid the wind noise but they could have used a better rack. option. Even something similar to the TRD Pros would have been nice.
As I’m considering a replacement rig for my 4R, it’s becoming more and more apparent how out of date Toyota is. Aside from monster dependability, assuming your going to keep it as long as it will last, things like 360 cameras (bronco), better MPG’s (jeep 392 on 37’s 16mpg’s), more gears (just about any other suv) etc. I am truly hopeful that when the 6 gen 4R comes out it at least has some of the basics in modernization. Otherwise, if all it has going for it is the dependability, the used Toyota will be a the best Toyota to buy.
Agreed. Not sure why this LC can only achieve 15 mpg vs a big jeep Hemi on 37’s. It does have 360 camera at least, but it’s still a dull system and the quality is not the best. I’m sure the bronco will be reliable to an extent. Those ecoboost motors are very decent.
are 4runners more reliable than landcruisers? better off roader between the landcruiser vs ur 4runner trd pro?
Both are super reliable and capable off road. I’d safe the 4runner is better just because it is Smaller and easier to navigate on trails
I still can’t wrap my brain around dropping 90K and having the Land Cruiser as a daily… way too big and fuel cost will just be brutal. In my case, it will be best utilized as an overland vehicle with proper modes. ✌️🍁
@@TRDJon Compared to what a G wagon goes for at nearly double the price, its actually not too bad.
While a good vehicle, a 4Runner in any trim is not in the same class of "refined luxury offroad exclusivity".
The real dislike is not being able to have the 70 series here in the US
Its a great vehicle but not for 90k. OMG you could almost get 2 TRD pros for that price or at least 2 4runner premiums. Buy one get one free or buy one for the spouse. I would rather take 2 4runners over 1 Landcruiser. 1 4runner for the week and the other for the weekend
@@PureBlood777 Thats what I said. You can get a premium SR5 4x4 for 45K easly.
Toyota pulled the FJ Cruiser and the Land Cruiser from the US. Give us one back. I need a new vehicle since I gave my daughter my FJ Cruiser. I would buy a LC if more reasonably priced.
Looking back at this and knowing these are still going for $80k, might have actually been the cheapest vehicle to own over these last 3 years with that kind of residual/resale value.
How was the jbl system?
@@TRDJon thats surprising! I bet its better than the rav4 jbl "being a big vehicle"
That rack came with the truck?? That has to be a dealer-installed POS. Yakima/Thule/etc none of those are real roof racks. Take that junk off there. Put a real one on or leave it off.
And yeah, the 200 is a big fat lazy thing. It's off road prowess is let down by the IFS which is made of tin some say.
Great review.
I love the way this looks. I hope the new 4Runner will carry over these looks.
Today i saw a brand new land cruiser 300 series on UAE roads
i saw few Land cruiser 300 videos and man twin turbo make huge difference, Toyota basically killed land cruiser and they have to be blamed not sale , reason as you said overpriced and other hand Toyota Sequoia , Toyota Sequoia actually distorted Land Cruiser market .. if they want Land Cruiser back in action they must kill Sequoia .
Now selling for 120k
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I CANNOT understand those stupid basket style racks. They started putting those on 4Runner Pros too. What person actually likes those things?
Toyota is the only luxury brand in the UAE? Not sure about that one...
4runner to the grave ...
2019 TRD PRO 4RUNNER Voo Doo Blue.... no comparison looks rugged and no non sense full of beans ..
Freaking toyota. Why they put that fruit basket on top for? It makes the land cruiser look a little weird.
I will take my 4R everyday over this.
Amen!! Love my 4Runner. Would love to see more DIY videos from this channel.
After owning a number of 4Runner from 3 - 5th gens including TRD Pros, there's just no comparison. IMO, the LC is a better vehicle in nearly every way.
I bought a heritage 2021 for $83K in Dec. No regrets. It is like driving a bank vault. Had the dealership remove the basket before I drove it home.
