Haha, yea let's be real ... that's when the real star of the show starts!
Need to cut the first 8:50 out. I am sure they are nice guys but I want to see the LC not watch them drive.
@@michaelrice2993 totally understand! We do too, lol! Thanks a ton for watching! We appreciate ya!
@@TrailGridPro great video
@@michaelrice2993 thank you so much! Really appreciate ya watching! 🙌
Wow, Jimmy Kimmel is doing vehicle reviews! Lol
LOL!!
I feel like most Americans are having trouble understanding Land Cruiser Prado and what it compares to. Here in Eastern Europe and pretty much everywhere else, Prado is Toyota version of Lexus GX, a smaller Land Cruiser. The focus is on luxury and off road capability whereas you can get a bigger 4runner that is just as capable off road but noticeably less luxurious inside and comfortable on road.
Americans don’t understand the rest of the world.
But this isn’t a Prado?
Thanks for the information! We appreciate you!
Man you guys are lucky. Congrats. I put a deposit a few weeks ago on a Land Cruiser mid trim for 64k MSRP no markups but was given a 6-10 month wait window.
one dealer told me 1 yr wait no mark up and dealer add BS
How and what state???? Did you get the color and interior you want
@@julien.9652 longo in los Angeles is my dealer im shoping
That's great you have one reserved! Yea, this one just came in and the deal was the deal. We were either going to do it or not do it, lol.
@@julien.9652 mountain states Toyota in Denver and yea I’m getting exactly the color combo I want.
I picked up my black First Edition from Koons Tysons on May 13. It is beautiful!
Woohoo! Twinsies!!
I have one in Maine... same as yours. First edition... can't wait to see what you do. Love it so far....
did you pay 120k?
That's awesome! Congrats!!
@@whoopi5257 nope... less then what they paid... and worth it. the Build quality and capabilities is top notch.
it looks so good!!!
upright glass looks so nice but also loves it some highway stones
Absolutely, you know it!!
Purchased an alpine ilx-f509 from you guys, excellent service. Thanks looking forward to the Land Cruiser vids.
Woohoo! We appreciate you very much!!!
Congrats! I'm on the list for a mid-trim, nice to see these hitting lots now.
Thank you so much! You're going to LOVE it!
Congratulations, it looks great!
We appreciate you!!
Will you guys do a video on how to use its off road features? I have watched the test drives... but they just "showed" using it now how it or why you use that feature. Its crazy we have both locking difs and stablizer bar. I would love to try it out ourselves on one of the closed toyota courses... maybe just have to sneak on.... when we travel through Maryland we will stop by. If want ever in Maine can show you some cool places to go...
Absolutely! We plan to put this thing to its test!
I pre bought this 1st edition a month ago. Delivery has been delayed twice now. Was supposed to be delivered May 1, then May 15 and now telling me May 30th. They are claiming supply chain problems with fog lites and skid plate. Who knows.
Yikes! We definitely got lucky but I feel your pain!
Thanks for taking that plunge!
Absolutely! We appreciate you!
Congrats guys. It’s beautiful! I love the round headlights.
Thank you so much! We appreciate you VERY much!!
Black color so cool! congratulations.😊
Thank you so much!!
Have gotten alot of work done by your shop on my 5th gen 4runner. Great work! Thanks for being there.
Thank you so much!! We appreciate you VERY much!
I kinda wish you got the 1958 trim, so you could really go into Modding everything
I hear ya, but we didn't have a choice on the trim level if we wanted it now.
Check out what Westscott Design did on the 1958. Looks even better than the 1st edition.
Congrats! I get my mid trim next month!
Woohoo! You're going to love it!
You guys are so lucky! I called the owner of my dealership last August on the day when the new LC was announced as coming to the US Market. Later I learned I was moved down the waiting list and ultimately told I could not get a First Edition. Not sure who they promised it to but I could not get it. That was 10 months ago. Do you realize how lucky you were to ask at six months and get a first edition?
Oakland Toyota here have 7 LC en route. 2 are 1st editions. All MSRPs and no add ons. San Francisco Toyota have even more allocations, but they want $5k markup……
We definitely got very lucky!
The price tags is also bigger than a 4Runner
That car is absolutely beautiful 🤩
Thank you so much!!
Hey question, the 2400 watt plug in the back, since its a hybrid does the truck need to be on to use it, or how does it work? Thansj
Whoa - good question! We're still digging into the rig but we'll add this to the list to check out!
He cracks me up they were really out getting all the paperwork set up of course they're making a sale they want the money every dealerships like that they kiss your ass until you pay them and then they don't want to know you
Yea, they definitely like making sales! They were a great team to work with! Thanks again for watching and commenting. We appreciate you!
Can you sleep in the back without modification? No one is answering this most basic question!
Haven't tried it, but there's definitely enough room to sleep in the back with the rear seats down. This can be accomplished in a 4Runner, and with the Land Cruiser being longer it will definitely fit most people no problem!
Congratulations! I wonder, with your improvement ideas, can you relocate the volume knob in a better place? that thing looks like a wart in the dash!
Yea, the knob is a toss up. If it wasn't there, I can see people complaining it's not next to the radio - I think Toyota just put it there knowing some people would disapprove. I don't find it to be in the way - I've actually found myself using it a few times!
Looking forward to take on this cruiser🤙
Absolutely! We drove it on the highway last night for about a 30 minute trip and it was AWESOME! Handles really well and feels super sturdy and safe!
Will be in a drawing at my local dealer in Jacksonville next Tuesday to be able to buy a first edition. Also considering a nicely equipped Defender for about the same price. Decisions decisions……
Right on man! We're loving the Land Cruiser so far!
57 grand for 1957 style 77,000 for the first generation lots of luck with that
Thanks so much for watching and for your comment! We appreciate you!
Ok guys what you have is the Toyota landcruiser J250 (prado) it replaces the J150 prado (2.8 cylinder diesel engine type) this was not on offer in the US although the lexus equivalent was. The American landcruiser also known as tge amazon (J200) came with 4.2 V8 diesel engine. It's replacement is not on offer in the US it's the J300 (3.3 V6 diesel engine and it's a massive beast its one and half times bigger than the J250 you've just bought. I'm on my 6th Toyota landcruiser in Ireland 🇮🇪
Great video and you may look like kimmel but you're not as fake as he is.
A v8 diesel was never offered in the US. The J200 in the US only came with the 5.7 3UR. Never a diesel. The 3UR was also used in the US Tundra and Sequoia.
I will add that the last US Land Cruiser that came with a Diesel was the 40 Series. The 60, 80, and 100 in the US were all petrol. The BJ40 (Diesel) are also extremely rare in the US. Often, a diesel 40 series made its way into the US from neighboring Central and South America were they are plentiful and abundant.
Thanks for the information! We appreciate you!
4 cylinder Hybrid but only 23 mpg combined. Friends V6 hybrid rav4 gets 39 mpg combined.
Yea, so far we're averaging about 17 mpg but we're gunning it all over the place, lol. It's got shocking pick-up.
A rav4 is way smaller than this, right?
@@Maxime-ho9iv oh yes! Absolutely!
I had the 2024 GX550 luxury plus with the 22 wheels and hated it. Rode terrible and the gas mileage was beyond bad. I’m interested in how the ride feels to you guys? Are those 18in rims? How does the hybrid feel? Does it shut itself off all the time? Don’t notice it? Lastly, that feature where it’s constantly monitoring your face barking at you all the time. Did you find it annoying, can that be shut off? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks
Oh wow. So you had it briefly and then returned it? The hybrid engine is definitely an adjustment. It does shut down the engine at stop lights, etc. We haven't figured out how to turn off the face-barking feature but we're working on it!! The LC does have 18-inch rims. At first the ride, and the vehicle all around, was a big adjustment but we're getting used to it and actually like it even more since this video! It's strange how things grow on ya!
@@TrailGridPro Yeah. Got lucky since it's so sought after they gave me full MSRP back for it. Thanks for all the info. on the LC. Glad you're liking it! I'm thinking the 22's ruined the ride for me with the Lexus, I bet the LC is a lot better ride with those 18's. Take care!
@@ronturitto3934the difference in tire size especially between 22s & 18s will definitely make a huge difference in ride quality. I experienced it just going from 19s to 18s on a Honda Civic 14 years ago. The driving modes on Lexus cars will have a major impact as well.
Everyone is buying first edition. Amazing but too expensive. Are they going up in value later?
If they're anything like previous Toyotas, they'll hold their value for a while!
Toyota (among many other manufacturers right now) really pricing themselves as a premium brand..😂
We love it so far! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! We appreciate you!
Congratulations on your new purchase of the land cruiser. Will you still keep your 4runner? And what do you think of the new 4runnner? For me, I'm quite disappointed in it.i think it's lost its identity, meaning it looks too much like the Tacoma
Yes, we'll definitely be keeping the 4Runner! There's been 4 years of work done on that thing! I'll drive it until it falls apart, lol! I try to remain open minded to change - as much as I love the 5th Gen, I think I'm going to hold my thoughts on the 6th Gen until I get the chance to drive it.
Congrats!
Thank you so much!!
Congratulations 🎉👏🏿
Thank you so much!!
@@TrailGridPro you are welcome
I hope to have my Trail Dust First Edition in the next month. I'm so ready for it
You guys mentioned the ride is super smooth, could you expand on that? How does that compare to the 4Runner ? Thanks
More details to come in the next video!
Comes standard with a $20,000 dealer markup!
Not the dealer here, all MsRP and no add ons. Including 1st editions.
Thanks for commenting! We appreciate you!
I got a 1958 from one of their other locations 😊
Woohoo! That's awesome!!
Congrats 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯
Thank you! We appreciate ya!
I looked at one, but chicken to make the switch from my F150 Raptor.
Oh yea, I get that. The Raptor is a beast!
Two different capabilities.... I'd do both 🫡
What type of gas mileage did you get on the way back home after picking up the LC?
Looking forward to what you guys do to it. I would be interested to see what you can come up with for max tire size on factory rim without a lift and new suspension etc etc. Like could you fit a 285/75/18 tires on the stock rims?
How much?
My guess is 100k
Is it true these are starting off with a limited run of 5k
I actually haven't heard that, but that very well may be the case!
I'm a man, I need to know about the engine, you skipped it entirely!!
What would ya like to know? We touched on the driving experience a bit on the drive back to the office.
@@TrailGridPro How is the reliability of the new engine?
Did you all each put same amount $ down?
We made one down payment on the rig!
Other than the name, Land Cruiser, this vehicle has nothing in common with previous land cruisers sadly
You obviously don’t have a clue what your talking about.
Thanks for commenting! We appreciate you!
Can this Land Cruiser run on regular gas?
Needs premium
Runs on Premium!
in short. this is prado in US? or LC series?
This is the LC prado in other markets, LC in US, Canada, and Japan
It's our understanding that Norman is correct - LC in the US and Canada but Prado elsewhere!
How much they take off the sticker price for you guys make this video😂😂😂
Honestly, nothing but that would have been nice! Thanks again for watching and commenting! We appreciate you!
I like everything about this car but the engine
Totally hear ya! Our first impressions is that we're very shocked by the torque and speed of the engine. Coming from a 5th Gen 4Runner and a V8 Lexus GX, I'm surprised how zippy it is.
@@TrailGridPro yeah the pickup and torque is great... it takes off so quickly
Hi Bro,How much did you paid for it ?
Most likely in the $90k area.
My state about $68,000 plus tax.
👍👍👍
Shoulda bought a Sienna
Haha, dang ... definitely love the Sienna!
Must be nice.
It's a great rig! Thanks for watching and for your comment! We appreciate you!
Is it Benzema at the left ? 🤔😆
LOL! Cliff has many doppelgängers!
And you paid over MSRP ! Shame on you. What a joke.
Thanks for watching and for your comment. We appreciate you!
How can you tell it´s a "she"?
You just know! LOL
Intro is way too long! Get to it already!!!
We appreciate you watching! Yea, there's a bit of a story that goes along with it which is the purpose of the introduction. We understand though, the real star of the show is the vehicle, lol! Thanks again and we appreciate you!
First half of this review is just non relevant chatter
Haha, yea I hear ya. It's just relevant to us as a company and the journey we've been on to try to be a great solution specialist for the Toyota community. We appreciate you watching and commenting!
I enjoyed it
That's nothing but a leftover FJ Cruiser they had a ton of parts in the warehouse so they come up with this Land Rover it's a FJ look at the nose they didn't even have the dignity to change the nose on the car looks just like an FJ Cruiser
Totally understand if it's not your cup of tea! We love it so far! We appreciate your comment and thanks so much for watching!
Stop the madness! The 250 is NOT a true full-size Land Cruiser! It’s equivalent to a mini Bronco. Clearly you guys have never been in a 200. The only vehicle in N.A. that is equivalent to a true Land Cruiser is the LX600. When the 300 comes to N.A. then get excited. So please stop confusing people that this is full size LC.
We appreciate your thoughts and thank you for your comment!
All j series Toyotas are land cruisers, there is no such thing as one 'true' land cruiser.
But the LC 250 prado has as much legroom, and more headroom than the full size 300 and LX600. Heck it even comes with a pano roof (on overseas trims or gx550 luxury+)
Mini bronco is a front drive unibody CUV. The Land Cruiser is a frame based rear-drive base SUV. Might not be the very most rugged but it appears to be a beast.
The new LC is on the same platform as the LX600 and shares the same wheelbase but is a bit narrower so is a better fit for off roading. It’s a Toyota after all!
not worth 80k
Thanks for your comment! We appreciate you!
Hey Jimmy Kimmel, I am a big fan of your show!
LOLOLOL!
For the same money as the 4 cylinder Lc 1st Edition you could get a turbo 6 Ineos Grenadier.
Awesome - didn't know that! Thanks for letting us know!
Ugh. I dunno. But good luck.
I hear ya! Thanks for watching and commenting! We appreciate you!
lol you absolutely lose space. Thats a 35 square foot boot, tiny. Not to mention how crammed you both look in there 😂
Thanks so much for your comment and for watching! We appreciate you!! I think we're just trying to make the point that the new LC design is larger than the 3rd Gen Tacoma, 5th Gen 4Runner but not as big as the Tundra & Sequoia. It fits between those two segments. We're not comparing it to the previous LC's.
@@TrailGridPro I just worry folks are going to be confused. Everyone keeps saying something along the lines of “you can throw anything back there” which is just patently untrue. It’s less space than behind the second row of my GX460 which has a third row folded down. I like the power train ok (I’ve driven the new LC250) but the sacrifice in space is maddening.
You should never get a car that's just redesigned all brand new didn't you guys learn what the tundra look what's happening right now they got problems with the engines other issues quality is not the same anymore. My suggestion is always wait a couple years and then get the car see what the people are saying about it what problems are common You know they will fix most of the stuff the first two years.
Yep, definitely! We knew it was a risk but just wanted to get our hands on one! We appreciate ya!
All I saw was two guys in a SUV cab driving around. 😂
Hahaha! We did our best ... we'll get more footage in later vids! We recorded a ton of exterior footage on the drive back but since it was raining all the camera lenses were covered in rain so it ruined the shots, lol.
Personally i like the lc 300 better i hope they launched that instead of this lc
Totally understand! The LC 300 is great!!
This is the issue with our chit economy. Influencers by these vehicles for business purposes creating artificial demand when vehicles were rarely bought prior to 2014 for social media. We need a tax for the next two years on any influencer buying cars. Then prices can fall.
Totally hear ya! Prices are definitely high! We're not influencers, though. We're just a small 22-person business located in Frederick, Maryland that are passionate about Toyota vehicles!
Yeah, taxing businesses that buy cars and make videos is soooooo smart. If you can’t afford one or don’t want one, buy something else.
I'll get me used one in 10 years. 🥱
There ya go! Great idea!!
@@TrailGridPro I'm expecting critical review for that kinda 💵💵💵💵💵
