I love it but can't justify 60k for such little you get for it. Not to mention another 5-10k of dealer upcharges. The CX-70 for example you can get the TOP trim for shy of 60k and get TONS of stuff with it, wireless charging, heated and ventilates seats, heads up display, digital everything, amazing leather interior, moon roof, etc etc etc
Exactly the Highlander is far much better as I do have the Highlander I can say this So called Land Cruiser which is actually a Prado and not a real Land Cruiser this car is wayyy overpriced…
Maybe look at the prices of the equivalent sized Volvo, BMW or Mercedes (all of which have 4 cyl engines for the most common models)... they're all way, way more expensive.
The base GX is a compelling value for sure. I went with the mid trim LC and I just like the LC aesthetic over the GX. But at that level the LC is much better equipped than the 1958 trim.
@canto_v12 wow congrats on the new Land Cruiser! I also think the character is more appealing in Land Cruiser form as well-- after further research, I found that the mid trim does get an upgraded (non-JBL) 10 speaker system that apparently sounds very good at least from factory (can easily add a powered sub to fill it out). The mid trim with no-premium package might be the better option than the 1958. Adding the premium pack looks to push the price into Lexus GX550 overtrail territory. But at low/mid 60s for an LC mid-spec-- might have more curb appeal than the Lexus (more sense of adventure and heritage)
@canto_v12 💯 will have to get to a dealership and go for a test drive! And the cooler vibe of the LC I need to see in person. Have had many land rovers over the years-- while I do like the newer defender, it just lacks basic safety tech that comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 (lane tracing assist, etc). Those features are essential to have especially here in LA/socal/freeway driving. Pair that with Toyota (made in Japan) reliability along with the hybrid engine (that comes standard with a 2400 watt inverter)-- makes for one special vehicle. I've also seen youtubers with Toyota hybrids like the Sienna or prius sleep inside their vehicles and have the AC or heat on the whole night- With the HVAC being powered by the hybrid battery (running completely silent like an EV)-- then the engine cycling on to charge the battery up. Might make the new LC an ideal car camping setup too!
It’s slow especially after you recorded a similar 60 mph dash in a naturally aspirated V6 Nissan Frontier,which also recorded similar gas mileage but the Nissan only required regular as opposed to the premium in the Toyota and the Toyota dealer will probably mark up MSRP
I mean if you want a people hauler in the US market they sell the RAV4, Highlander and Sienna. The LC has always been a specialised product for enthusiasts or harsh working environments.
If you’re really looking to mod and off-road the car though, this is the spec to get. Most buyers will be getting the mid spec one in the 60s. Which is still cheaper than the old, larger LC which started at $90k.
The new LC’s primary differentiator over the new 4Runner, is its roof height. The LC is much more spacious. Whether that’s worth the $10-15k depends on your use case.
The motors are bad in the GX. Big problems with the 3.5. companies are not paying attention anymore because their productions are all over the word, so it'll be a slow decline or maybe a fast decline.
By the way your a smaller man for being 6.feet tall and you have very skinny legs, and your are using up every inch of that seat and there's nowhere for your left arms but that window ledge.
Man did these Land Cruiser owners got suckered into such a bland expensive cheaply made vehicle. Made the right choice rebuying a 5th gen 4runner. That trunk was already enough to feel how cheaply made it is.🙈 ITS THE DETAILS PEOPLE.
i can't believe that this slimmed down Land cruiser is going to be any greater difference than the up-and-coming refreshed 4Runner. Other than name and some cosmetic differences what is the point.
The LC has more cabin tech and a significantly higher roofline. That much is now known. The rest I think will be powertrain differences, with the 4Runner offering lower-powered trims in the $40s.
@@Christoph-sd3zi The fact that there are 2024 4Runners still asking over $60k is indeed insane, because that's how much mid-spec Land Cruisers are, with next gen hardware and much larger cabin.
Am I missing something... $56K.... for cloth, manually adjusted seats, and just generally looking... cheap?
You’re not wrong. At all.
It’s simple and durable. If you want surface-level comfort, buy an Audi. If you want capability, spend it on the LC.
@@supraphonic88 it sill seems over priced though. That's the issue.
4 bowls of ramen with an appetizer is around $100 bucks now. The question should be what’s not overpriced now and days?
I mean that's cheap for a land cruiser

Can't off road in a CX-70. It's a mall-crawler.
Exactly the Highlander is far much better as I do have the Highlander I can say this So called Land Cruiser which is actually a Prado and not a real Land Cruiser this car is wayyy overpriced…
I don't care how capable it is, $60k for a cloth seat 4 cylinder suv is not acceptable.
Definitely too expensive for what you are getting!
The base spec is really for enthusiasts to use and mod IMO.
The mid grade starts in the low $60s and is much better equipped if that's your thing.
It doesnt have a sunroof which means it will not require maintenance much so less service costs. Good for Overland
@@canto_v12 still doesn't fix that overstressed, born to be unreliable 4 cyl.
Maybe look at the prices of the equivalent sized Volvo, BMW or Mercedes (all of which have 4 cyl engines for the most common models)... they're all way, way more expensive.
Cava bowl and Landcruiser, a man of culture.
Good review, I’ll keep my FJ62 we bought new . Thanks
Wow, definitely keep that! (I'm keeping my FZJ80)
@@MilesPerHr: We paid 25K in 89’ with inflation it works out to 63K . We can complain about prices but that’s life.
i love your attitude and the land cruiser
Big fan of the the 2024 Land Cruiser, but at around 60k for the 1958 trim, the 64k base trim Lexus GX550 might be the better configuration--🎉
The GX with that 6-cylinder is mighty attractive
The base GX is a compelling value for sure. I went with the mid trim LC and I just like the LC aesthetic over the GX. But at that level the LC is much better equipped than the 1958 trim.

that horn is funny lol
Great video! We love to see real drivers enjoying their cars
Nice one man!!!
first
Glad you enjoyed it!
btw @MilesPerHr do you still drive that 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser?
Yeah, he does
Every week at least once!
Nice This is the best
Nice video! and the new haircut looks great👍
It’s slow especially after you recorded a similar 60 mph dash in a naturally aspirated V6 Nissan Frontier,which also recorded similar gas mileage but the Nissan only required regular as opposed to the premium in the Toyota and the Toyota dealer will probably mark up MSRP
But the Nissan doesn’t have 465 lbs-ft of torque at 1700rpm. This thing is a torque monster.
The mid-range punch of the Cruiser is definitely strong
@@MilesPerHrwow. This thing had a turbo 4 cylinder and your defending it?
If i had a land cruiser i'd live in it. xD
14:47🤣 Cool review!
Why are people calling this a 4Runner? It’s not a three row seater and is smaller. This is more similar to a RAV4.
This video convinced me to skip the LC and get the GX.
RIP landcruiser.
Paying this much for a hybrid
Premium full
Meh 20’s gas mileage
Drug test needed at Toyota
Is it just me or did miles say “Lane Cruiser” in the beginning 🤣
Thing is worth at most 38k lol
I just got out of a 24 tundra trd pro and into a 24 land cruiser and I gotta say I miss it lol, the LC is nice and all but idk the tundra is special
Should have gotten a 5th gen runner, Bigger, same price, better quality, and the list goes on.
56k wow, that's affordable! The landcruiser starts at 120.000 euro in the Netherlands 😢
Toyota tamed the Beast.
The 200 series will always be my favorite
60k for a 30k interior, yikes. I love everything about this car, I love base models and the utilitarian feel, but yah come on Toyota
I mean if you want a people hauler in the US market they sell the RAV4, Highlander and Sienna. The LC has always been a specialised product for enthusiasts or harsh working environments.
wish they made them manual :(
my fellow aussie's is this the new prado?
how's the car payments? LOL
Produced and exported with the Yen at all time lows against all major currencies. Nice profit margin there Toyota!
Just about 60k , is like its cheap, its way overpriced, this should be max $40k with plastic everywhere
I Want 1GD FTV!
Bro, can you review the new toyota chr 😂🎉
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Slow as molasses. Should be under 7 second 0-60 for that much money
Is Toyota giving big discounts or deals to all the UA-camrs getting new Land Cruisers?
Do you think he bought this car that's on Texas manufacturer plates?
Can we get Kia k5 next
Yo ever think of doing a live stream?
He used to do live Q&A but he stopped due to busy schedules
I did a Live Q&A a while back - might be time to dig those up again!
@@MilesPerHr .
craw control is quiet.. not like my 4runner
Toyota lost me with 4 cylinder turbo
A 4 cylinder Land Cruiser with cloth seats? Wow, Toyota really did this automotive icon dirty. No thank you.
But it’s a Toyota! So reliable!!
If you’re really looking to mod and off-road the car though, this is the spec to get.
Most buyers will be getting the mid spec one in the 60s. Which is still cheaper than the old, larger LC which started at $90k.
That price for fuel is terrible. Y’all are getting taken.
Good morning, will it fit in your garage?
Not with the rack, unfortunately
Once again, the Land Cruiser (Prado) will leave the US due to high prices.
Good riddance to this thing.
It's a beautiful car, and You think it's better than the new 4runner?
If you want to have kids with ketchup and mayo y
It’s basically the same car
I haven't driven the new 4Runner yet, but if that truck is priced $10-15K cheaper than this, it will be tough to recommend the LC over that.
The new LC’s primary differentiator over the new 4Runner, is its roof height. The LC is much more spacious. Whether that’s worth the $10-15k depends on your use case.
Basic is better. Never buy the 1st year of a new vehicle.
Upper middle class American
The motors are bad in the GX. Big problems with the 3.5. companies are not paying attention anymore because their productions are all over the word, so it'll be a slow decline or maybe a fast decline.
I don't like turbo. V8 was better
Aye first!
☝️
A vehicle that looks like it’s year 2000… disgusting design, previous one is way better designed (exterior)
I am driving one and many heads turn over..
By the way your a smaller man for being 6.feet tall and you have very skinny legs, and your are using up every inch of that seat and there's nowhere for your left arms but that window ledge.
Wow. This thing is an overpriced pos and your recommending it? Guess you don’t want to lose the Toyota press cars.
Man did these Land Cruiser owners got suckered into such a bland expensive cheaply made vehicle. Made the right choice rebuying a 5th gen 4runner. That trunk was already enough to feel how cheaply made it is.🙈 ITS THE DETAILS PEOPLE.
Omg they somehow made an UGLIER FJ Cruiser 🤦♂️
i can't believe that this slimmed down Land cruiser is going to be any greater difference than the up-and-coming refreshed 4Runner. Other than name and some cosmetic differences what is the point.
It will be interesting how Toyota differentiates the two.
The LC has more cabin tech and a significantly higher roofline. That much is now known. The rest I think will be powertrain differences, with the 4Runner offering lower-powered trims in the $40s.
The Sequoia, Land Cruiser and 4Runner all cost about the same($65k +/-). Toyota has gone insane.
