Dealer add-ons bring up the first edition to $80k+?! Defeats the purpose of making the Land Cruiser cheaper. The previous model was $90k but you got so much more and it was indestructible. I wouldn't go to that dealership because of the greedy add-ons.
I agree with you 100%. Local dealer in San Jose quoted me $88k. I will buy a 2 year old Mercedes for half the price and I am still head with a luxurious super safe car and more options.
Note: On the Landcruiser Edition, you can option the Premium Pkg which gives you heads up display, sunroof, full leather, JBL Sound, wireless charging, cool box in the center console, digiital rear view mirror, and a few other safety options. Price $4,600.00 for this pkg.
I was excited about possibly getting one of these till I found out you can't put more than 120lbs in the back without damaging the batteries. That's a deal breaker.
I walked into the Toyota dealer and saw a new First Edition on the floor fully loaded. I drove it home the same day. I placed an order for the Lexus equivalent, a GX 550, last April. After waiting six months I chose the Landcruiser instead. Great choice.👍
I own a 2009 Land Cruiser LC200 w/ ~190,000 miles and I've seen others with 300-400k on the clock. What're the chances the 300 series has the same reliability? Bc I am not seeing it.
I checked on the official website, and there are a lot of differences where you are saying it has, but on the manual, it does not. For example, there is no Android/iOS auto support, no drive assist, and some automatic options in trail mode.
Going with the first edition simply for the power passenger seat… I like to sit back and let my wife drive so i need the powered passenger seat… But this should of been standard on the land cruiser, especially for that price or they should at least make an option to upgrade the seats.
This vid shows-did not know the lower than 1Addition trim don’t have the driver assist tools for watching drivers attentiveness and beeps at you. Learned something new. I do not want my car telling me that or having to turn it off at each start-up
I don't get why the 1958 hybrid edition has the same gas mileage as the landcruiser (23), I thought the point of the electric motor was to provide better gas mileage
You need to show which model are you talking about, at the bottom of the video, because it is easy for the viewers to get mixed up as to which model you're referring to 🤔
@ToyotaJeffReviews Will it be possible to swap out the headlights on the LandCruiser trim with the round headlights? I've seen this suggested on some forums and would like to confirm.
“Boom boom let’s go back to my room” 😂 I’m surprised the LC edition doesn’t come with a sunroof. I’m sure that will change within a few years. I’m still very excited for this. Thank you Toyota for bringing this back at a more affordable price. We were all sad when it left and asked for it back. Of course now that it’s back the haters are complaining about it. They always do. lol
Next year toyota is releasing a new Land Cruiser Trim that will ditch the hybrid, add panoramic roof, heated rear seats, and 3rd row seating. It will take the place of the 1st sucker....errrr 1st edition.
I drove a 1958 recently, and 55k is way too much to pay for that thing. Id be okay paying 35k for it. It just feels cheap. The past Land Cruisers were 90k because they were designed to last for 30 years, they were well equipped, and were much bigger. These new ones are the size of a 4Runner, and the 1958 is not well equipped. I thought I'd be okay with that, but I'm not. The cheap, rattly plastics are terrible. Most importantly, there's no way that 4 cylinder hybrid is going to last for 30 years. I don't mind a bare bones utilitarian vehicle, but for that price, it's unacceptable. I was really looking forward to this vehicle, but I'm super disappointed.
German cars are the most unreliable cars on the road. That is why almost every last one you see are leases. No one buys Volvo. Probably one of the most uncool cars on the road.
Does anyone know how much the battery & electric motor add to the weight of the vehicle? Im not crazy about the extra weight & the room it takes up in the cargo area? I like the Land Cruiser but the return on gas mileage & extra hp does not justify the extra weight & cost. Too bad Toyota doesn’t give you any options.
The Land Cruiser is a higher end vehicle than the Lexus. The Land Cruiser name alone and resale value brings a significant premium. Lexus is for cackling real estate agents smelling of Liz Claiborne perfume who lease them and try to keep up on payments.
@@georgetown8986 you mean the Land Cruiser 300 series. Lets not get confused here because this thing has NO significant premium to it. Not all that plastic on the front, not the thin plastic inside and definetly doesn’t even sound premium either. I suggest you blow the horn on it when you test drive it because you will look at yourself in the mirror and rethink how much of a clown sucker they got you to think this is even remotely premium. NOT PREMIUM IN THE SLIGHTEST ON THIS MODEL.
Yikes… 77,000 bucks and ratcheting seats? -.- Can get GX550 Luxury or Overtrail for the same money. I don’t understand Toyota right now.. I say that as I literally have about 20 feelers out to local dealers for a Trailhunter lol In fact Jeff, I tried to reach out to you. You’re not that far from me. If you have a lead on one, I’m in the market
lol yeah that is a tough one to get i bet. I haven’t seen one at a dealer yet. Had to search out on my own. Feel free to write me at toyotajeff1@gmail.com if you ever need advice etc
What's your pick: 1958 Edition, Land Cruiser, or First Edition? Jeff
One of each please.
@@rightlanehog3151 yes!!
I ordered a Land Cruiser trim from our local dealer, they said will be months before one lands in Canada.
Oh really?
Landcruiser Landcruiser - has enough of the bells, without the whistles.

There was no previous model in the USA. 300 series is bigger than this. This is 200 series aka Prado aka land cruiser in Europe.
@@alxdava2004they’re saying from a general standpoint

Oh this is great to hear! I didn’t realize that. Nice.
Yes, total price is close to $86K. Are you kidding me?
@@meenam300zx More like $67,000. At least in Hawaii.
Id go for the 1958 or the first edition. Solely on the fact that I WANT the round retro headlights
They are interchangeable
I test drove one today. That’s a lethargic unexciting motor.
Makes me sad good thing I won't be in the market for a few years
These prices are insane.
Who wins? Toyota. Who loses? Consumers. 😋
I was excited about possibly getting one of these till I found out you can't put more than 120lbs in the back without damaging the batteries. That's a deal breaker.
Wow didn't know that! Crazy... my dog is 140 lbs. Total deal breaker!
For half the price, get a 2 year old Mercedes SUV and save $40k and gain all the luxury and super safe car.
@@meenam300zxno one wants a Mercedes
As I understand it, that rating is only for the plastic cover over the small, rearward bin area, not for the main load floor.
@@andyr9168mate your dog is heavy
All trims have value, but I think I would go with the Landcruiser. I like the square headlights and softex seats. Thanks Jeff!!
Me too that’s the one for me
Can you get the Land Cruiser with cloth seat also
@@Toyotajeff Can you get cloth seats in the Landcruiser with the square headlights Jeff?
I walked into the Toyota dealer and saw a new First Edition on the floor fully loaded. I drove it home the same day. I placed an order for the Lexus equivalent, a GX 550, last April. After waiting six months I chose the Landcruiser instead. Great choice.👍
Always liked how you compare the different trim levels in 1 video! My favorite is the Land Cruiser trim
I sat in a base model with dealer add ons and they were asking $80,000. Please make it make sense! Cloth seats and hard plastic interior.
At first I didn’t like the 1958 but it’s nice how simple it is and it does remind me of the older models. Maybe I can get one in a couple years.
Just as well buy a new one. Landcruisers don't depreciate much at all.....
1958 retro! Beautiful in black.
50k plus for an suv with clothing seats no sun roof , what is going on with people why do they accept this rippof.
Land Cruiser with cloth seats, no sunroof with that amount of $ you have to spend and markup crap. What the hell
Holy Smokes, $80k for the First Edition.
I’ll just wait for like 2 years until the price go down.
You must not be familiar with this nameplate 😂
First addition ✊️

They have the same 4 cylinder turbo engine as my 2024 tacoma TRD off-road and transmission I sure love mine excellent engine
Nice!
Who wins you ask ? Nobody except the dealership and the banks with pricing and interest rates the way that they are right now
@@EverydayJ1786 ok so there wasn’t one of the three trims you liked more than the others?
@@EverydayJ1786 just trying to have some fun with my reviews on this 99 degree day
Only extras I'd be getting would be the tires and the floor mats everything else is a bunch of hoo-ha
So awesome to have ALL 3 at the same time!
Believe me I love the old version of land cruiser
How do you get the front headlights to flicker?
ayyyyeee jeff teague atlanta hawks legend
They should have added a rear-mounted spare wheel.
So unfortunate that we don’t get the new real LC here in North America
Glad to see you got more and more!
Jeff, I want a 1958 in Heritage Blue with a white roof. Can you arrange that? 🤔
@@rightlanehog3151 lol nope! 1958 comes in black, white or silver :)
I wish!
@@Toyotajeff After all you have done for Toyota, I don't think a Jeff Teague Edition of the 1958 is asking too much. 😅
@@rightlanehog3151 please this needs to happen!
@@Toyotajeff I know you are too modest to say this but it is overdue.
Where is the panoramic moonroof ? It needs one like most SUV’s have.
Only on GX luxury trim for US market.
I want 2.0 hybrid.. I hope I can find it
Adding leather seats to the 1958 is under $3K. Well worth it if you’re looking at the 1958 trim
Want the Land Cruiser spec but with the round lights.
Why this one get the rear temperature control but not the gx
I’m just waiting for TRD PRO
What about a two door LC? Hopefully Toyota brings that out.
Too bad for that cramped rear seat access for both kids and adults.
Get a minivan
@@whelmanlandry We looked at those already, doesn’t meet our needs and seats are too far from the door entries for our disabled son to enter.
@@Daniel-it1dp the Honda Odyssey seats slide to accommodate how you get in and out. Good luck on your car search.
Going with the first edition simply for the power passenger seat… I like to sit back and let my wife drive so i need the powered passenger seat… But this should of been standard on the land cruiser, especially for that price or they should at least make an option to upgrade the seats.
THe 1958! Price point, same engine, like the cloth seating, dont need all the bells and whistles, esp do not want sun or moon roof
This vid shows-did not know the lower than 1Addition trim don’t have the driver assist tools for watching drivers attentiveness and beeps at you. Learned something new. I do not want my car telling me that or having to turn it off at each start-up
Price is Right, 🤣 Thanks for keepping your reviews entertaining
Now that theme song is going off in my mind hahaha
@@Toyotajeff When are you going to do a livestream like TRD Jon? Holla!
@@FL_Jake I wasn’t sure if people would watch. I’ll do one in the next few weeks to see if people like it.
@@FL_Jake HOLLA!
that air vent in the back with no third row seats make no sense haha wtf
could be good for back area sleeping if you need to turn on some AC overnight.
also great for 4-legged travelers
Some markets won’t be hybrid and will have 3rd row
I don't get why the 1958 hybrid edition has the same gas mileage as the landcruiser (23), I thought the point of the electric motor was to provide better gas mileage
If the 1958 didn’t have the hybrid bs then that would have been great
Rectangular lights
Hi Jeff do you know why the 1958 and first edition run different tyre sizes, both on 18" rims?
1958 has a 7” wide wheel. LC and FE have 7.5”
“additional dealer markup” or “added accessories”; on every one of these.
I’m in the market for mid trim in black. I’d like it most available options. Can you arrange?
Damn, I’ve been wanting a bronco, but they’re overpriced but seeing this is more than my price range
You’re not missing much from this. I would look into a honda passport.
@ don’t mean to be rude, but that’s more of a soccer mom vehicle
Raleigh!
if we are going turbo, it needs to be a V6
This is the Prado. The LC300 is the main Land Cruiser. It seems like the 1958 is not coming to south africa.
lol ur a casual this is not a prado it’s nothing but a highlander lol

Yes
That’s not all of the models. U forgot Kakadu
Mazda cx 70 or Lexus gx 460 2023 edition
Why did bro all of sudden turn zesty half way through? 😂lmao
5:20 No third row but they made cup holders for third row lol. Bad design, it looks like they just lifted some parts from other Toyotas.
“Boom boom let’s go back to my room” 😂 I’m surprised the LC edition doesn’t come with a sunroof. I’m sure that will change within a few years. I’m still very excited for this.

Going with the Lexus over trail within the next two years after Toyota gets all of the bugs fixed. Thanks!
Who wins?
Me and my ‘71!!!🤘🏻
Why would anyone, other than an astronomer, want a large hole in the roof of their caaaar
Are u stupid
1958 is the best I like the cloth seats and round headlights all it needs is a moonroof and I’m sold.
What tires were on the 1958
Nitto grapplers on the 1958 and FE
This looks far duller than I’d hoped. Take the Toyota badge off and it could be anything. Shame.
Dealer markup is absurd on all three models
call it the rav4

They will sell everyone they build because sheep
So cup holders, arm rests, USB power, room for 3rd row.
No third row... 😅
For that much I'd get the Lexus GX550 overlander
For $70k plus, the winners are Mercedes,,BMW and Volvo. No way in Hell I would buy a Toyota with cheap flimsy doors.
nobody is buying a garbage volvo, their sales are way down especially in america
German cars are the most unreliable cars on the road. That is why almost every last one you see are leases. No one buys Volvo. Probably one of the most uncool cars on the road.
Doors😂 you buy a car because of doors 😅..
@adesojiosinusi2512 Yeah, when you get Tboned, you'll be dead on scene.
@emikomina Volvos are fantastic and thanks to China. Volvo was garbage when Ford owned it, today's Volvo are great.
Tow hitch looks like an after-thought 👎. Hope Toyota will fix that
You know they won't
First Edition!
LC1958 is the winner
Does anyone know how much the battery & electric motor add to the weight of the vehicle?

Too bad Toyota doesn’t give you any options.
When they put a 6cyl engine in one I'll consider buying. Until then, pound sand.
These cars are about 20k overpriced
Wish the interiors were nicer like the new 4 runners
Insane to add Fred Anderson badging. I'd want a discount just to remove that ugly logo.
Most dealers do that. It peels right off easily and it’s not a big deal in the least :)
20” wheels are not an upgrade, they’re just stupid.
TY. "Trim levels" used by manufacturers are.....*&^^%%%%
✊️
2 for me and……
With a 2.4L Turbo engine? No thanks! I'll buy an older model.
None!!! It requires premium fuel. Ridiculous or else I would have considered buying one

100% before design better
200 series for the win, overseas Land Cruisers for the win. These turbo petrol motors are garbage. EPA ruins another one for N America
