Basically the Defender if it didn’t break down and the electronics worked consistently
but no air suspension - height adjustment. lol but nothing to break hahah you are right.
The gx is more of a defender
no, not at all that ! like apart from it's square like most good off roaders
The defender has the better drivetrain thou
You reminded me of one of my favorite quotes, from a review of the first-gen NSX: "The NSX is a Ferrari engineered by people who went to college."
that desert sand color looks amazing with the white roof - love the nostalgia throwback look/feel
It looks like vomit
No. Worst color trend ever, just looks like you really really love peanut butter. 😂
I like the subtle dig at throttle house “we did NOT break the new land cruiser” 😂
Ha ya just messing around
If you give them enough time they definitely will break it lmao
It's funny that The Fast Lane broke the new Tacoma.
G-Wagen on a budget ❌
Regime change on a budget ✅
Not even close. The G-Wagon has center, rear, and front lockers. Not to mention power.
@@krane15 and then dies from an electrical gremlin that costs an arm and a leg to fix
@@HunterLord458 No, not really. They're actually pretty reliable.
@@holdthebeansmercedes are crap in reliability.
@@holdthebeans until the warranty runs out
Oh man prepare to see these everywhere
Bet it will end up like the FJ. Once you get past the quirky/toy looks it’s just a 4Runner for $10-15k more. The Lexus GX is a far better value for the money. I think the LC sales will underperform in the long run.
@@briancoleman971 with people who can not afford them but are looking for looks
@@briancoleman971the GX would be so worth it if dealerships didn’t tax the hell out of the rich white soccer moms with 15k above msrp and leaving actual enthusiasts in the dust
Gx or this ?
@@iangrant9117 It depends if you want to spend $30K more.
As a adult who was once a child road tripping in the third row of his dads 1999 Land Cruiser, I'm glad they added those vents back there
I’m gonna get one and V8 swap it
Why not v12 is you already go through the trouble
Because v8s are his thing JUST LIKE HIS RAPTOR
V6 turbo gt40
@dodiloi lol I was going to say the same thing..
@03rs62 yeah, but "go big or go home" - V12
For car thefts in Toronto (or the GTA) - this is going to be at the TOP of the list. Anyone buying this in Canada better know what they're doing. This vehicle is in huge demand in the middle east and africa.
And if you do buy it, remember to leave your keys by the front door with a plate of cookies
@@brotherazeem Exactly, milk and cookies - Toronto police approved.
isnt the LC 300 and the older land cruiser models sold there?? I think that will still be the huge demand despite this new model.
They prefer LC300 over there. This version is considered the Prado and its not overly desirable
@@sathyanarayanans7449 Regardless of what is being sold there, new or older models - the fact is the criminals can drive off with this vehicle from your home and straight into a container for almost nothing and make a huge profit pushing it on the other side of the world. They can even go lower than whatever is being offered there and still make a huge killing because they barely paid anything for our cars, except shipping and getting runners to steal them. And if its just the old models that are being sold there, then there will be an even BIGGER demand for these western models.
As a 4Runner owner only for 20+ years (current ride is a '15 TRD Pro I bought new), if I were ever in the market for a new vehicle this would probably be #1 on my list. The new 4Runners look good but, I like this better.
As a ‘22 4Runner owner, I’m just going to keep what I have and it will last four times as long.
@@skoolynugenator1802 I'm not getting rid of my '15 anytime soon. Was just making the point that I favor the new Land Cruiser over the new 4Runner. As to whether or not reliability will be worse with the newer 4R or LC -- only time will tell.
Agreed. I have an ‘18 trd pro and would definitely go for the cruiser on a trade in. Fortunately for me I only have 55k on the 4Runner so I’m going to keep her for awhile.
08 FJ and man I want this
@@TheIronMask1954 If you do get this I would (if you could) hold on to that FJ.
I like the styling way better than the new 4Runner.
Nah those circle headlights are easily the best
Nah. They look old and outdated. These look fresh and modern
I can’t decide which I like better. They both look pretty slick.
I ordered the 1958 in black. Yes I lose a few things. But the “sway bar disconnect” gives you 10% more articulation on just the front…. Needed? No. Something to fix and work around if you alter the suspension…. Yes. I don’t need a bigger screen. I would like the cameras but again don’t need them. And once everyone here has a kid spill milk or similar in a ventilated seat…. Well…. You’ll change your mind.
“Its just a toyota dont go all out”
The designer: 🔥🔥🔥🔥
From what I understand the headlights are interchangeable. You can purchase that model and buy the round headlights later if you like. When you are ready for a change switch ‘‘em out 😁
Is that true? I hadn't heard
99% sure…one of the engineers mentioned it when it was 1st unveiled
@@steves8322 that's an easy fix , sweet
demand of these will be massive.. be prepared to pay premium... reliability now comes at a extra cost
that defeats the benefits of reliability.
4 cylinder turbo hybrid moving 3 tons… What reliability?
This isn't the 80's man @@cmflippen
Yeah I would hold my breath on the reliability for a few years. New gens of anything have issues.
@@cmflippen Exactly, I still see people buying newer Toyotas thinking they're going to be reliable like the previous models were. No one realizes these modern day turbocharged motors will not see an easy 300-500k mile run like the last ones.
It looks like a land rover defender, but actually good.
Looks better than a Defender. And the best part is it isn't a Land Rover / Range Rover.
Right... well looks are a matter of personal preference.
The entire competition range in this class is pretty nice:
Land Cruiser, 2025 4Runner, Defender, Bronco, Wrangler, GX, G-wagon... only G-wagon is priced out of this world, but the Defender will bring up the same total after about 3 years....
@@georgetown8986 looks are in the eyes of the beholder, or something like that. I won't say it looks better than the Defender, though I do prefer the Land Cruiser lookswise.
@MaverickPhantom i meant actually good as in its an actually good vehicle, my bad. I like the way the defender looks, and i loved how it drove, but its still a Land Rover so its by default garbage. They just cant make anything reliable lol.
You can literally buy a brand new Land Cruiser and keep it for 3 years or so and it will cost you at most $10k in depreciation (if you keep the miles down and excellent condition).
Land Rover / Range Rover will cost you $40k-$50k in depreciation over the same time period.
And you have a better looking, more reliable vehicle while owning it. Plus, you don’t look like a maxed out credit card / lease special db while driving it like the Range Rover/G Wagon, etc.
My FJ Cruiser has a front and side sunshade for both front seats. It would definitely pass the Straight Pipes vibe check. 😎
They’re gonna sell the ever loving shit out of these
Yep, they will be everywhere eventually once the dealers stop gouging people.
Oh yeah. The 4Runner as well.
@@DeuceDeuceBravoif I could find one for 55k I would but that would be so damn rare
Even in Uganda they have brought them
I think the design will probably look better when you see it in real life
I expect Costco parking lots to be full of these soon to tackle those technical speed bumps :-)
like all those Tacoma owners that put a fishing pole in their bed 2x a year
That would be me and proud of it. It will be awesome in the snow and up to the mountains for skiing.
The Pricetag of this small SUV is insane
Lovely! I enjoyed it just like I enjoy a $80k monthly around the turn!!!!!
Yeah, I'd feel like that sometimes. Tell me about it!!!!🙏
It's such a contrast how you remind me of past and how Renee Marie Harrison changed my Life from a nobody to a home, $80K biweekly and good pretty daughters! I don't know why I'm saying this here but I kinda feel like I'm supposed to, few years back I was nothing but now I feel like I own the world and can achieve anything I want.
Absolutely! I've heard stories of people who started with little to no knowledge but made it out victoriously thanks to Renee Marie Harrison.
You work for 40yrs to have $1m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $10k in a meme coin for just few months sometimes lesser and now they are multi millionaires. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life💯
@@Richard1-v
That's exactly what I need. Does she address risk management?
“Early prototype, please be careful it’s composite…”
I'm can't lie. I want the nicer trim but prefer the 1958's round headlights... by a LARGE margin.
gasp! Land Rover that actually starts...
Dope vehicle reviewed by the best, most informative automotive youtube channel out there!
oh boy, I think I've found my next vehicle!
Im really liking that 1958 version!! Can’t wait for the review!!!
Tuned in to hear the guys say Tee-ota" love it!
I can’t stop. I tried
Price is outrageous! Can almost get a Lexus GX 550 for the same price
Facts
Plus you ain’t gotta worry about the battery eventually dying either. I’d just get the gx
Anyone comparing G Wagon and LC should not do car reviews.
Reliable land Rover 😅
Ohh idk man. Those turbos don't necessarily last that long.
@@jonlosito2004it’ll still drive with a turbo failure, so at least it’ll get you out of the woods 😂
Toyota is upping their game lately!
It has for about 4 years now...
Every time I see a 2005 Corolla I'm wondering what were they thinking
Yeah, after 15 years of the same outdated designs
@@MaverickPhantomYou're seeing 2005 Corollas, that should answer your question.
@ytj22 lol I meant looks-wise. I'm also seeing 70's Benzes, but those look way better than the 00's Corollas
The new 4Runner looks like hell
And like always, the other Canadian automotive UA-cam channel made the far, far better video on the Land Cruiser 💀
The 2-tone with the white roof is 🔥
the square headlights are money
Not sure how it wasn't mentioned yet, but this is sold as the Landcruiser Prado in Australia, and comes with a 3rd row.
I think this is going to kill Ineos Grenadier sales in the US (and the Lexus version will probably hurt Defender sales).
Toyota is killing it with their new SUVs! Gotta give it to them!
a super base model of these is in my sights. if not the absolute barebones GX.
LC300 says HELLO.
Sad thing that the actual Land Cruiser sales dwindled down during the 200 Series. Now US/Canada gets a Prado and they celebrate it like it's an actual LC.
But I guess that not bringing the LC300 to NA made sense considering the 200 never sold that well while the Sequoia sold like crazy. Lexus still sells the LX, but that's just too much lmao
It's a good car, but the 1958 base model costs 80k+ CAD including tax and it comes with that small screen and no sunroof (I'm not super care about those features but I prefer to have those if I spend 80k), nice job Toyota, I ain't buying it.
The inside looks cheap for $60K my uncle just got the 2024 Nissan Armada Platinum for $62K basically called the Patrol in the Middle East and it's way better and more luxurious. If you complain about gas then you shouldn't get the Armada.
Going for the GX 550 gotta have a V6!!!!
This has more hp than the outgoing GX lol with the V8 326 vs 301 and more torque
so 50 thousand dollar vehicle does not have a acrostic windshield .
I just saw one on the road yesterday and I was like what is that?? And then I said it’s probably a Land Cruiser so I asked Siri “does Toyota still make the Land Cruiser” and she said no it was discontinued in 2020 so I was confused and waited till I got home to find it lol.
I love it, price is hefty but it looks perfect inside and out.
I agree with the halo headlights (: they’re a must
Why is Toyota in The Netherlands selling these for €167,000???
Might be government discouraging buyers against ICE vehicles.
Checked Slovak site and it's 89990€ for First Edition. Must be some NL specific tax.
That’s your government, not Toyota. I have no idea why people in your country allow such high taxes.
@lvovodessa it's madness.
The styling is great but $70k for an inline 4 cylinder car...
And that's just the start, need the stealer fees, the taxes and doc fees, mark up. It will be a 90k vehicle when done
Idk why you are surprised, this is the flagship model, of course it’s going to be expensive. For the same price as the top end model of the LC you can get a mid-grade Lexus GX550 with the twin turbo V6. If that’s still too pricey that’s why the 4Runner just came out.
Honestly i don't see why it matters how many cylinders there are. Horsepower and torque are more important. This is literally just a more numbers equals must be better argument lol. There's a reason why no one really makes V12s anymore either. A V8 or even a V6 can make just as much or more power and they're significantly more efficient, easier to maintain and are less complicated.
You'll be upset when you hear Koenigsegg gemera, millions dollar car that only have 3 cylinders
Are vehicle prices based on cylinders? What’s the acceptable price range for 4cyliners? Does that price range include turbos and hybrid power? Link to the official document please.
This is going to be insane........the dealership markups I mean.....
I love the cup holders in the back. Perfect for some old school 80s road trips 💀
A lil biased review comapred to Doug… wonder if Toyota flying them out made a difference
I wish it had the same interior/exterior color options as the 4Runner, specifically the dark grey outside with red leather inside 🔥🔥🔥
The 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser cars is A Phenomenal ever!!!! ❤❤❤ Also,Bring The New 7th Generation of Chevy Camaro Back!!! Thanks and greetings from Indonesian!!!!
Watched my bois first again.
🙏
Doug popped up 1st 🤷♂️
I see RR Cullinan in those squared headlights!
Do you know what you should start adding in your comments whenever you do the horsepower and torque and the towing numbers you should start adding how much the vehicle actually weighs. I think that would be pretty cool.
I’m getting one. Traildust First Edition. Not sold on the color but may look different in person. Going to put a 2 1/2 level kit and change out the rims and tire. Maybe a bronze rim to tie in the color. Thinking also maybe PPF and make a mat finish.
Liking this video before fully watching it just because of the car lol
8:13 WHAT. this might be a deal breaker for me.
The circle headlights look way better
Some people don't care about EV, or FSD, they just prefer to drive .....
at least toyota gets that right
The vents in the rear are fantastic for us dog owners. 🐶👍 Love the looks of this thing.
why don’t the rear seats fold flat so we can sleep in the back? Overlanders and Campers won’t be too happy about this.
You said car play doesnt have the split, but yes it does...you click 2/3 modes. The 3rd click on the bottom left would give you the split.
That’s not what we’re talking about. Watch the Camry review
Looks cool, but the new 4Runner looks way cooler
The title reads as 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser BUT during the introduction they say 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser.
Turns out lexus gx has an identical twin 😅
The one with square headlights makes it look like the whole thing is made of legos so much more
Nice review tho I like you guys reviews. 👍🏾 keep it going
Has these new Land Cruisers models shrunk from the previous model Land Cruisers?
The front end on this vehicle just fits the rest of it so much better than the Lexus.
It looks like a Land Rover Defender.
This thing looks great. I'd buy this over a Defender every single day. Every day.
Let’s make the most complicated power train of all time and sell it like an overlander…..a steal at only $60….folks that’s a nasty car payment at 48 months.
Try making one for $60,000 and see what you come up with.
But seriously, this isn’t for someone looking for economical transportation. Toyota makes the Corolla for that niche.
It’s a modern FJ, which is awesome. I saw one driving around today and to me it looks smaller than an FJ, almost like that electric FJ they threatened us with.
I would probably get the base model. Love the round headlights and that 90’s style cloth interior.
So basically it doesn’t feel powerful enough??
If it had a 3rd row it would be the perfect vehicle imo
"Times are changing" is not an excuse for politicians and corporations to decide we don't want V8s anymore. EVERYONE WANTS A V8!
I just think they need to offer a V6 or V8 at least for those who want it, same with the Camry. I don't see these engines lasting as long as the older ones just because it has turbos on them. Looks are absolutely killer but this will be mark up heaven for a year or two. Now they need a new smaller FJ cruiser!
I like the circle headlights, makes it look like a jeep wrangler. It is also mean looking.
Why not just get the Lexus GX over this?
Well, this is more like 55 grand to 65 grand and then I think the Lexus GX will all be like 65 grand to like 75 grand. Everything is such a blur nowadays to it comes down to preference and availability.
They called it the landcruiser for this reason. only the name will sell this overpriced prado
A non hybrid v6 or even a L4 2.4 turbo or a turbo diesel would be perfect.
G Wagen on a budget. This thing will eat the G-Wagen for breakfast off road.
Straight up awesome guys
I think the Lexus GX which is based on this has an option for a 3rd row
Plus a v6
This is not trying to be a G wagon. Is its own thing. A Toyota.
It looks amazing, but let’s be real. Most of us are going to be driving this to grocery stores or in places with close corners. And that view looks extremely at seeing what’s down below.
Great video guys!
Buying this and crying cos it will outlive me
It's the 2024 4Runner in a different dress.
This is the best SUV out there. Where you get the full package WITH reliability.
Lmaoooo the poke at throttle house in thumbnail is hilarious
I think the 250-Series Land Cruiser should get the Trailhunter and hardcore TRD variants depending on how successful these extreme off-road trims are for both the Tacoma and 4Runner.
Wish they blacked out the iforce badge to match the Land Cruiser badge.
When you say "not the fastest", I really wonder how it compares to the outgoing GX460 V8. Would this be an upgrade in terms of power & efficiency (hopefully with a newly designed engine)...
4 cylinders?! 🙄
Literally all Honda needs to do is give us an Element but we just get the Passport. 💔
The white roof always makes me think of a porta-potty
Pretty beautiful 😮
Dog: “Wake up everyone movie just started 🤷♂️"
