  • In today's video, I attend the Lexus x Toyota x SEMA Garage Measuring Session in Diamond Bar, CA for the 2024 GX and 2024 Land Cruiser! This was a great opportunity to see both new vehicles parked side-by-side, and stripped apart since they were being measured for product development by aftermarket manufacturers. What do you think of each of these new and off-road oriented SUVs?!

    Huge props to Ms Kuo for having this vid...of all of the YuuToob talkers who post vids about vehicles, this is the first time ive seen/heard of this type of 'Session'...why havnt any of the so called 'experts' ever been at one of these to show vehicles?? Great vid I was hoping for some sort of measurements of the two vehicles, but having them sitting side by side like that shows...they are very similar except for the engine...I love em both, but im not a 'Lexus' guy...my wife has a 2020 ES, nicest car ive ever been in, but i'd be way too nervous to own it for myself. I'd want the LC...more utilitarian. But i'd need to be convinced of that 4-cyl engine for sure. My bullet proof 4Runner V6 has given 10yrs of completely trouble free ownership...

    interesting looking at the trunk area of the landcruiser. Chloe says that there is more room due to no 3rd row, but at 19:03 you can see that the trunk floor is still raised up, so that to me is a lose:lose situation.... no 3rd row and reduced trunk capacity.

    The stuff that comes on the Overtrail is sweet, but only if you plan to keep it. the combined AVS/eKDSS is getting rave reviews. If the GX comes factory with a 33, 35's should fit with the crash block removed (safety-shmafety!) The LC not only gives you 20A of 110VAC, but should have electric air conditioning as well. That would let you stay cool on a sleeping platform.

    I still don't understand why Toyota doesn't offer front locker in the US off-road trims when other vendors are offering them. Even the rest of the world Land Cruiser 300 and LX600 have the option for a front locker. In fact the TRD Pro and Lexus off-road trims should should come default with front, center, and rear lockers as well as an uprated engine option. Previously, you have to spend another $10k plus to add superchargers and aftermarket lockers (ARB, Harrop, etc) to make your own "Pro" models. ATRAC is great but there are situations when a front locker would have an advantage.

    Toyota is taking a HUGE gamble forcing customers to only have a 4 cylinder Hybrid drivetrain for the Land Cruiser and 4 Runner. The presence of Lexus has marketing feeling the need to restrict the V6 drivetrain to Lexus. I suspect if Toyota customers are unhappy, we will see the V6 show up in a future release with software controlled detune. In a few days (Tuesday) we will see how Toyota will differentiate the Toyota Land Cruiser from the new 4 Runner. Towing and Overloading will quickly demonstrate id a V6 was truly needed for Toyota.

    If only we can find out why both of them have a very intrusive hump on the second row floor. The tailshaft is no where near the floor, so why is that space robbing transmission tunnel there at all? It turns the LandCruiser's 2nd row seating effectively for just two adults, as the middle seat passenger simply has no comfortable foot placement.
    I also wish for Toyota to put a guard over the rear lower shock bolt, to protect it from getting pummeled out of shape by small rocks flung up from the front tyres. After a couple of outback trips, the lower bolts becomes quite pitted and likely to require the socket to be hammered onto the bolt head because it becomes misshapen.

    • @OldelCpt

    The Land Cruiser isn’t back. These have always been here. The GX is a rebadged Lexus version of the Prado Land Cruiser, a smaller Land Cruiser model from the full size. That’s all these are. Just a new generation. The 4 runner is also a prado, made on the prado line in Japan, and sold in the U.S. as the 4Runner or again, the GX. Sure Toyota is going to release a new 4Runner, so now we just have 3 options of the Prado, unless the new 4Runner generation is made here and just a Tacoma with an SUV body. The “Land Cruise” is not back. Land Cruisers are full size trucks. The Prado Land Cruiser again is not a regular Land Cruiser. 300 series won’t be sold here, along with dozens of other models of land cruisers we never got. If you look at pictures of prados years past, you’ll see the GX is just that.

    Hellbent is a strong word , but I will tell you I do believe Toyota makes some of the best and most reliable trucks. My experience has been validated with owning 4Runners from 3 generations, a first gen Sequoia and an LC200. All have been great trucks and very dependable. Loved all of them! Rather than defend the merits of each one in a forum like this , I will share the following video from a respected mechanic. ua-cam.com/video/67DdH-EvjoA/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared

    I just don’t understand why they didn’t give the Land Cruiser the same v6
