- Range Rover v Land Cruiser off-road let’s gooooo!!
Mat’s rolled up to the off-road course in a V8-powered Toyota Land Cruiser, and he’s about to see if it has what it takes to defeat the luxurious new Range Rover!
So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the Toyota, it’s packing a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 diesel under the bonnet, which is good for 272hp and 650Nm. It comes with a number of off-road features such as low-range mode and a central locking diff, and it weighs in at 2,620kg. It’s not sold in the UK anymore, but if you wanted to pick one up it would cost you around £30,000.
Then we have the Range Rover. It houses a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol up top which is good for 530hp and 750Nm. It’s a bit lighter than the Land Cruiser, tipping the scales at 2,510kg, and it’s also packed with a whole load of tech to help it out off-road. It’s SO much more expensive though, coming in at £138,000!!
So what do you think - does the Land Cruiser stand a chance? Or will the super-expensive Range Rover snatch it? LET’S FIND OUT!

I've owned both vehicles. Range Rovers are smooth as silk over rough terrain, but have expensive electrical problems and do not hold up well. Land Cruisers are a bit of a rougher ride, but even if you roll one, it can get you back home.
I think driving a Range Rover on normal roads would maybe result in lasting??
Even worst, its Indian electrical issues, no resolve😊

When I lived in East Africa [Kenya] in the 1970s and early 1980s (my dad was with the Flying Doctor Service) there were lots of Land Rovers, very few Range Rovers, and countless Toyotas. The Land Rovers were much-loved by expat Brits and did pretty well; they were relatively simple, old-school machines and survived the often horrendous conditions if treated with respect.
Parts were cheap, the basic vehicles were rugged and durable, and servicing and repairing could be carried out by any competent mechanic.
Range Rovers were expensive and rare and so were only ever seen in towns and cities ferrying government officials between fancy hotels. They were too precious to be hammered off road, although the great rally driver Rob Collinge used Range Rovers in the Safari. He had to completely rebuild them, though, to cope with the extreme conditions.
The Land Cruisers were tremendous. Tough, reliable, and virtually unstoppable. Unlike the Land Rovers they were less like comfy tractors and more like regular cars, so they not only coped with the bush (a.k.a. 'MAMOBA' - Miles And Miles Of Bloody Africa'), but were equally at home in towns and cities.
They were so good that they were taken for granted, and there's no better recommendation for a vehicle in a challenging environment. The Land Rovers responded well to careful treatment and sensible maintenance schedules; the Land Cruisers just worked, no matter how badly they were abused.
I've got no experience of modern versions of either vehicle, but I'm willing to bet that they're both hell to work on. That's not important if they function perfectly all the time, but...
When you're stranded in the middle of nowhere with a dashboard warning message that says 'ECU error - Gearbox Mode 4 Interface Malfunction; Contact Service Centre', you want to be able to put things right with a jack, a stick, a screwdriver, and a hammer.
You need a car with a cast-iron reputation, and the Toyota's proved itself all over the world for decades. In my experience, a super-sophisticated Land (or Range) Rover MIGHT work flawlessly, but then again, it might not. And that's when you stop caring about trick diffs and air suspension and air-conditioned shiatsu massage seats and wish you'd bought something that just ruddy-well WORKED.
If I were planning a trip to somewhere remote, I'd take the Land Cruiser. If I were an English farmer doing nothing more dodgy than checking fields of spuds, I'd probably still choose the Toyota.
Better reputation. Better value for money.
Your opinion may vary...😁
Throughout that very long post, I suspect you were consistently confusing Range Rover with Land Rover
I feel I'm in an emperor's clothes universe questioning why I should complain that vehicles are now such a mass of unfathomable gubbings that you have little chance of easy wilderness repairs. So you are better either in something old and simple or new and reliable. Or both, and a 1990s W460 Diesel G Wagen is probably the ultimate weapon of choice.
Spot on my friend, you either know or you don't, and I'm afraid the majority in this country who can borrow money haven't a clue, the JLR range of vehicles are automotive boob jobs and Botox, the really sad thing is that they think people, their neighbours , family friends or whatever are impressed 🤣
@@ToeCutter69 .. Curiosity .. what do you drive ?

Range Rover is driven by someone who wants one, Land Cruiser by someone who needs one
My dad and uncle were working in Siberia from 1992. First car was a Land Rover defender. It just refused to start at 45 degrees negative. Then was something American, if my memory serves me well. That crap broke down even faster. Then it was a land cruiser from 1998. That car was running and driving almost 20 years. Has over 1m km on its odometer. Never gave us hard time.

Nearest mechanic was over 350 km away, and Toyota dealership with proper service was it city of Tyumen, approximately 1000 km away.
Bro the defender can't start up at 45 angle 🤦 that's the only drawback of it due to having a old school engine the petrol can't pass upwards.
Other than that, it always is better than lc ever

The most important thing here is that a 14 year old Land Cruiser (2008 model) without lockers went everywhere the newest and most technologically advanced Range Rover with rear lockers went.
yes he is comparing an old model of a land cruiser with a current model of Range Rover.. thats not fair.. and still Land cruiser perfomed better
.....And an old series land rover will probably do exactly the same .
@@kizzyp2735 Never Never.. 😄 thats bullshit
I don't think getting 2 the destination is the issue here. The real question is, how did u get there? Yo argument sounds mo like someone comparing one individual flying in a private jet from Australia to New Zealand n the other flying economy. Trust me! U both get there but I can guarantee u the experience is not even close. U dig?? Bottom line, there is a very good reason y the range costs 4 times that of the Toyota. But the bummer here is most Range Rover owners live in cities were mo than half of the amenities of the vehicle never get applied/explored. The vehicle is mo of a status symbol.
My 1949 Jeep Willys, my 1981 Jeep CJ7, or My 1973 Jeep Wagoneer can do the same, I think. Why talking about 2008 technology? 😂
The Toyota will never break down and it will go for years and years, and it's so much cheaper. Enough said.
Did anyone notice 4:55 “Planet Charity” LENDS a £138,000 Range Rover😂😂😂
I was curious why a charity needed a £130,000 Jeep🤔
I did, was just about to comment the same but thought I'd come across as a twat, makes you think where the money goes to these charities, obviously the CEOs car with the private plate

Not in the UK you won't.
@@skylined5534 in australia you will
In the UK the RR is far preferred due to its unmatched ability to get across wet grass, sticky mud, and through deep farm track ruts and uneven ground, especially when towing trailers. These are the predominant problems here. The RR's tight turning circle is a godsend when negotiating narrow woodland tracks with a farm trailer. Also, the rising and lowering suspension makes putting trailers on the tow hitch far easier. Getting stuck in the mud in the UK is seldom life threatening except for emergency services, but it is a nuisance to have to get the tractor out. So RR's save a lot of time and hassle, and they can also double up as a great motorway cruiser and are fine in town too which saves having to buy a second car. In the UK there is always a Landrover specialist nearby to fix things within a few hours, so the reliability issue is minor. Lastly cost. Excellent secondhand diesel RR Sports are plentiful and cheap as chips in the UK, making them perhaps the most economical and capable 4WD farm transport. This is why most UK country folk have some sort of Landrover.
Finally, someone on UA-cam talking sense about Rangies. I love full fat Land Cruisers to bits but the Range Rover is perfectly designed for the UK (although the amount of theft is frankly ridiculous).
Rangies are more common because they are local. The LC is still better on most of those surfaces you stated. Tires matter a lot for that basic soccer mom stuff
Do the same off road tests for 1 week with those two cars exactly , I want to see something
I bet Jaguar wont like the results.
I owned a Land Cruiser 80 series with the HZ engine for 12 years and literally nothing on it broke in that time, the gearbox started sticking slightly one winter, I had used it for towing trailers and regularly up and down a bumpy track. My friend had a discovery 3 at the same time and it was constantly in and out of the garage I may have just been lucky/unlucky but I've stuck to Japanese engineering ever since.

Wrong.. which one would still be around after 25 years.
Be honest, you never been off road so you have no idea what car people take off road. Hint: it includes these 2 cars.
Incredible...... Howd you manage to find a Range Rover that still runs?!
Doing the challenge with the latest land cruiser would have been a fair challenge though
The way that the RR climbed that final hill making it look like a regular road was amazing. Still if I was interested in doing some serious off roading here in Australia I'd pick the cruiser. They have a solid history of people actually taking them serious off roading and making it back.
I spend 99% of my time in outback Australia and have seen more LC's on the back of flat beds than I've had breakfasts. That may well be because there are thousands of them. In fact, i think its something like 1 MILLION of them have been sold in Australia over the years. There are so many of them, not because they are particularly reliable .. but because Toyota does MASSIVE lease deals with mining companies .. hence Toyota Service Centres on just about every street corner. Toyota certainly beats LR hands down on the number of service centres.
Check with ANY Landcruiser service centre and you will find that they are booked out doing repairs to these 'reliable' 4x4's.
As far as repairs go, LR is possibly cheaper for repairs than Toyota .. especially when you consider that most LR owners do repairs themselves. There is also a FAR MORE 'social' aspect around LR owners, clubs and forums .. a tremendous amount of help out there from the multitude of LR forums in particular. Where are the Landcruiser forums?
Guy in his 200 Series LC opposite me just had his radiator replaced .. a $2,000 job .. due to some 'plastic' part failure and quite a common fault apparently.
The fact is BOTH Land Rover and Toyota are NOT as reliable as they used to be years ago, but as far as comfort goes, LR are light years ahead of any LC.
If you want to question Land Rover's 'pedigree' .. just look up 'Camel Trophy' on UA-cam. Please direct me to the Toyota's 'equivalent'.

Hi Matt, enjoyed seeing the 4 by 4 joust between these two cars. Would be interesting to explore further; such as how each model/engine system copes with varying qualities of fuel, how easy are they to get competently serviced around the globe. Targeting the luxury market with a high spec system that on paper performs very well, a high performance engine that is very sensitive to varying fuel quality, dependent upon top notch servicing, good traction control but how well do they do in the real world. One of these car manufacturers made (sadly in my view) a decision a while ago to focus on the high end market share at the expense of the broader market with more mass appeal. The result; around the world and outside of modern cities of the developed world, one of these makes is much easier to maintain and readily repair than the other one. And when you're remote or in the middle of the desert you have enough to worry about as it is. London to Cape Town, now that would put them through their paces?
Let me say this. The Land cruiser is a tough car made for tough roads. However, the driver of the Land cruiser willingly and knowingly made the mistakes which brought the points low. So blame the driver for his poor driving and not the Land cruiser!!!
Agree. He talked alot
Dude. Seriously. Get over it. It’s just for fun. I suppose you think the low profile tyres on the Range Rover help it ? The Rangie has amazing tech. It’s a huge help. The ride being IFS and IRS suspension will mean it will handle better on bumps and cornering. That being said. Would I take a Range Rover on a serious expedition ? Hhhmmm. I think not. While they are clearly a more refined vehicle I wouldn’t trust it like a Landcruiser. My 2 cents is. The range is far superior but if reliability is what you’re after I’d go the cruiser with twin lockers every day.
The tech is exactly what rural remote and outback owners hate, too much to go wrong and too few service agents to repair them.
Also few 4wd here in Oz aren't modified with local upgrades including appropriate tyres and suspension lifts/upgrades.

I remember doing a stint in Oman back in the 80's. We were clunking around in Pink Panther Landrovers. Oman SF who could afford whatever they liked, were playing in Land cruisers.

Such a good program thank you! The Old Land Cruiser looks like an early 1990's vehicle, it looks like a Japanese vehicle from prior to Japan went into its lost, now coming up to 4 decades. The "Landie" as we call it here in New Zealand is still a Legend! The name "Landie" was once owned by Land Rover for 2-3 Decades and then the Great Brand Toyota took over the affectionate name "Landie" and showcased brilliant Japanese Engineering at its best!
It was great in the Southern Alps, McKenzie Country, getting up to the Ski fields, bush tracks hunting etc but it has become too expensive, both these vehicles have been replaced here in New Zealand by the Ford Ranger. Now we can buy 3 Ford Rangers for the price of a Toyota Landcruiser and yes the Ford Ranger is reliable as its Toyota!
There is nothing like the original Jeep, and then the Aluminum Land Rover. On Farms in NZ, when the Land Rover's engine crapped out as it did relatively early in its life Cockies (Farmers) here would drop in a GM Holden, or Ford Straight Six Engine and the old beast would go on forever, many are still going and valued on Farms.
Japan is now an expensive place to make things, but its Brands always stand for Quality. Toyota will come back as long as Japan only makes top Quality Products which I expect them to do!
Ford trucks are good, but Toyota is much better. Especially here in the United States where they're driving much closer to the million mile mark. I sold my Tundra with just over 250k miles and I only ever replaced the alternater. Hopefully the Ranger holds up to the test if time.
@@therednsx Thats weird the latest stats show Ford as the most sought after vehicle in the states especialy the F150 which outsells every flippin thing

The choice between a Toyota Land Cruiser and a Land Rover depends on various factors, including personal preferences, specific needs, and usage requirements. Both vehicles are renowned for their off-road capabilities and have their own distinct features. Here are some points to consider:
Toyota Land Cruiser:
Reliability: Toyota vehicles, including the Land Cruiser, have a reputation for being incredibly reliable and durable.
Off-road performance: The Land Cruiser is known for its exceptional off-road capabilities, with advanced features like a robust four-wheel-drive system, solid axle suspension, and excellent ground clearance.
Resale value: Land Cruisers tend to retain their value well over time, making them a good investment.
Land Rover:
Luxury and refinement: Land Rovers, particularly models like the Range Rover, offer luxurious interiors, premium materials, and advanced comfort features.
Off-road prowess: Land Rovers have a strong off-road heritage and are equipped with sophisticated technologies, such as Terrain Response systems, which optimize the vehicle's performance on different surfaces.
Styling: Land Rover vehicles often feature distinctive and eye-catching designs, combining elegance and ruggedness.
Ultimately, the "better" choice depends on your priorities. If you prioritize reliability and durability, the Land Cruiser may be a suitable option. If you value luxury, refinement, and advanced technology, a Land Rover might be more appealing. It's advisable to test drive both vehicles, research their features, and consider your specific needs before making a decision.
Having owned a FJ80 4.2 TD Landcruiser and currently a Range Rover, The LC was slightly better off road, the electronics help in the RR and having 3 locking diffs on the LC really made it a very capable off roader. My current RR has centre and rear diff locks and coupled with the traction control for the front wheels make off-roading effortless, where the LC you had to take a lot more care with how you drove it. Most weekends you could find me up top of the Pennines in the LC.
Land Cruiser is the King of the Road. Love you Matt for bringing it here.
Really would be nice to see the 2022 Range vs 2022 Lexus LX. Which is more like for like
Watch suv battle channel, range is better
The most important test in my eyes, is resale value, and you won’t beat land cruisers on that one.
Matt! You should’ve put the cruiser on crawl control mode, that limits the speed to 1-3km/hr.
If I remember correctly the first model year V8 diesel did not have crawl. The diesel version got crawl control later.
This version doesn't have dac crawl control
points should have been awarded for reliability
This comparison should be between defender and land cruiser
Would you please make another similar video, but adding the Mercedez G-wagen?
And maybe tougher terrains and muds
Matt, you just got a taste of how we feel when you make us wait for a drag race with all the stats and info you give before the race.
I think you should make the comparison with at least the same tires... they are really important on off-road
Agree Marcello, but he doesnt want to spend money,just make it, from idiots like us that click it.
It is disappointing that a lot of comparisons do not compare like with like. Vehicles should have similar tyres etc and both have the same locking differential. I know this may make the comparison costly but I think it would be more interesting.
Hmm...pretty sure by visuals alone, one is luxury vehicle and they other is an under dog. Why not run them head on and the same speed and see which still drives away. Then turn the 2 over and drop them on their and see if the driver and passengers arn't crushed.
A serious comparison is kind of pointless. If you want a car to show off to your yuppie friends get the Range Rover. For everything else the LandCruiser is superior. Theres a reason why you never see Range Rovers doing 4WD.
Comparing the RR to the LC is wrong to begin with. A better comparison would be the LC to a Disco.
@@LabiaLicker I think the reason you dont see range rovers doing 4wd is more because of the cost of the things, if money didnt matter I would take the range rover as in lots of test videos it genuinely seems more capable, but in the real world I would take the land cruiser
Watch suv battle channel the real offroad channel, and the range won over the lc there as well, I'm taking about new and old both lc
It’s not fair that’s a old model of the Land Cruiser

Loved my 200 series V8. Unstoppable. Awesome engine. And will actually keep going. 350,000 fault free kms
Did you not have the 300 series cruiser in the UK to test? It has crawl control, diff locks, detachable sway bars etc?
7:57 now it has a dent 😂
AWESOME OFF ROADING !
WOW, well done to the Rangerover 😯😉😁
I was SURPRISED 🧐😳😬
AWESOME WORK !!!
Aah yes! Another great competition between cars i can never afford 😌
👍👍👍👍👍
My 25yr old 80 series LandCruiser could do all that, just not quite as fast.👍
80 series are beasts
But without traction control you will fail when the 200 series throught
@@sandrinatoky5584 You don't need traction control with 3 diff locks and the knowledge of when & how to use them. With all diffs locked, all wheels turn at the same rate. If all 4 wheels lose traction you're not going anywhere with diff locks OR traction control!
Range Rover = iron fist in a velvet glove.
@user-ep3qc7yr9c sorry but how do I dm you, you'll have to forgive me I'm not very tech savvy 😑
@@kelvinbeels9530 it's a scam
Would have loved to see the 2nd gen LC200 considering It's the one most people buy or consider
LC200 not gonna rival Range Rover still.
@@purwantiallan5089 the range rover is gonna be broken down earlier doe
@@purwantiallan5089 Obviously it wouldn't perform as well as a Range Rover I'm saying i would have loved to see the 2nd gen instead of the 1st gen LC 200
@@purwantiallan5089 Purwanti, what we're saying is, your Range Rover is shit.
@@erensfeet5563
It's not *though.*
Truly, when two king of off road collide then, we see a huge challenge and rise in competition. Good to see Mat Watson reviewing two challengers
That height control which won the range the challenge won’t be in operating condition in 2-3 yrs time 😘😝
In Australia. If you want too drive into the Outback, take a Landrover....if you want to come back...take a Toyota!! Lol.
the range rover is an absolute work of art this thing is wonderfully designed.
and hopeless reliability
@@darrengoodale6854 thats a myth
Lol oh really read any reliability report
@@darrengoodale6854 mine of my range rover sport never had anything, thats my proof. Not from an american web fully sponsored by the competition with fake reports and accounts from the internet. Thats called fake news, you learned something new today.
I'm not in the us and I've been in the car job for yrs but I'm sure you no far more than me🙄
Toyota Land Cruiser always be the King of the hill ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Test an offroad equiped rangerover sport versus one without lockers and low range would be nice to see that difference from two realy similar cars.
Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
No one cares
Interesting. With many years in Africa, away from towns, I'm used to using 'various Toyota products', so perhaps nice to see just how competent the RR really was.
Good point was to consider how it would fare 'in the real world', for months at a time ....
Al.
Alan Toms, wish we could see an offroad battle between RUF BTR4 vs Nissan PICKUP.
It's a 2008 v 2022 though, so not quite fair.
@@1Dustin I know which I'd rather be in in a 10-20 hour hammer through the African bush ..... not the RR !!
It wouldn't. We all know that.
You would not want to be in the RR in Africa, just for the wrong attention it would attract...
That's a stock 2008 200 series. 13 year difference. How much is a 2008 rangerover now?
Nobody buy the RR for resale valve. Its a fun machine to drive that's it.
Nobody's going to buy them anyway because any range Rover from the year 2005 to 2012 for the most unreliable electrically faulty pieces of crap ever to be put on the road
You can buy a 2008 Range Rover for as little as £3500 🤣
Here, the race comes first before the race, and that's how the Range Rover won. Period!!!
Having owned older models of both I’ll take a new new Range Rover then trade it at 75,000 miles for 90,000 mile Land cruiser and drive that relatively trouble free for the next 150,000 miles.
What makes you think that the Range Rover would last for 75 000 miles?
The Range Rover comes top in two lists in the UK: It is the least reliable car sold here and the most frequently stolen.
@@gustavmeyrink_2.0 the 5.0L land rover motor is solid, it can last easily
I'm taking about the 2013 and above models, the previous had chaintime issues
Also this V8 is bmw engine in the new range
FMD another dreamer
Pretty good from the Range Rover bearing in mind it’s on normal road tyres.
Will take that cruiser every day of the week
No
A Range Rover will get you anywhere but if you want to get back get a Land cruiser 👍
would have loved to see the range on off road tires for this 1
I would never take that Range Rover off-road, it's just so beautiful.
I suspect you’re never going to have to worry about this
One important point: Land Cruiser will run up to 1 million miles and won't break down The Range Rover will be in the shop every 2 weeks.
👍 Quality Respect to Japanese people honest and truthful hard work people's, having Such a trustworthy company's 👏🇯🇵❤️ Toyota Land or Lexis
Mine only went in the “shop” for routine servicing.
One is built for 40 years of rough use, the other is an expensive joke played on consumers. Guess which is which.
Now i wanna see 2015+ 5.7L V8 landcruiser vs any suv in same comparison …..
