The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones. If you wear headphones, your mind won't be blown, but it will go, "woah, that's cool."
I'm also the producer for the Winding Road UA-cam Channel:

Here on TheTopher, I'm known for putting a camera on my face and driving cars. Whether it's about any of my personal cars or reviews on weekly press vehicles, the goal is to give you an idea of what a certain car is like to drive or live with. Most of my videos are filmed in POV, with my clothes on, and (for like the 5th time) with in-ear binaural audio. Which, if I haven't made it clear yet, is why you should wear headphones. Because of the whole "woah" factor. It's there, trust me. Try it, it's pretty nuts. Or don't. As long as you whitelist me on your adblocker I'm okay with whatever you do or don't do with regards to headphone usage. That is all. Oh and I guess you should also probably subscribe. Why are you still reading this, you should be watching the video. With headphones! Hah, had to sneak that in there one more time. Later!
![Toyota Land Cruiser V8 4.5 night POV drive in snowstorm [4K]](/img/n.gif)
Finally a car youtuber who actually understands and appreciates this beautiful beast. So sick of all the negative reviews of what is possibly the best vehicle under $100k
There’s a guy that lives around me with a black one with shiny black wheels and like a 2 inch lift. Oh man it’s perfect dude
You mean the one with diamond cut wheels, its just beautiful
We have a 1999 Land Cruiser that we have had since '98 when I was a baby. 20 years and 185k+ miles later, it rides like a dream, and is currently my favorite car to drive.
This car is built to go for a minimum of 25 years and that’s a fact. Avg cars built for 10+years
Exactly this is why gangs and terrorists love to use these because they never break down and they don't have to worry about the car when they thrash it.
This. My dad bought his LC new back in 2003 and it still works like a charm.
Unlike Ford vehicles, you'd be lucky if it lasted for 5 years.
NXJ ONLINE Hi
I'm pretty sure that 25 year minimum is based on surviving in a third world country
Amazing vehicle!!! Bought a used 2013 and it's truly the best SUV on the planet
Yes finally a Toyota Land Cruiser POV! I’ve been waiting so long for this. Please make a day POV of this car also.
Its hard because people like me request a night POV and then other people ask for day povs 😅😅
I second this. The Land Cruiser 200 series is such an incredible vehicle so much so they are in use by US Special Forces in combat zones right now and there really isn't enough footage of the newer models on youtube.
No matter how expensive it gets, just remember you're paying for its reliability. Thats what most new cars miss out these days and nothing can compare its legendary reliability and capability on and off road.
Very few POV s on this one. Lucky you to get so much wheel time.
3, a. E a sua
Topher taking a roadtrip to my hometown.
I really like that you took the time to talk about the sound system. I realize a lot of people will put aftermarket systems if they're real audiophiles, but for the rest of us its helpful to hear if a stock stereo is poor, adequate, or quite good.
Yes!! The King of the road, conqueror of the mountains and the pride of the Middle East. It is my dream to own a Land Cruiser one day. This thing is an extremely luxurious land yacht. What a beast.
But all I have now is a 2014 Hyundai Tucson (TT^TT)
One day bro
One day bro. Soon!
One thing you paid for is reliability, other German cars can't match that for the most part while the bmw x5 is a nice car it will more likely have problems in the long run
GScottLH not really when bmw's depreciate like a brick and break down every other week with parts and maintenance costing a shit ton to keep them barely running. These Land Cruisers never break down and don't cost a kidney to run, even the 30 year old ones are tough af, if not tougher.
German cars are fun and fast, but drop those fuckers like sackfuls of hot flaming shit a few months before the warranty is up.
I am not saying German cars aren't reliable at all, my point is the landcruiser holds its value a lot better than its competitors, I can admit they are sportier cars than the landcruiser but off roading this car is a beast
an X5 isn't the same class of vehicle. I'm Australian, LC200's are everywhere, an X5 would not even cross the mind of people in the market for one of these
I collect classic bmws - e30s, e34s ... the list goes on. Sure, they are reliable - but the part costs are alot more expensive than parts for my 98 4runner. Not to mention on the newer ones, the electronics, turbos, oil pumps, vanos all that crap hits the fan real quick. So, german reliability? Please - I own the most reliable bmws and they are great but its very maintenance intensive. My 4runner? ball joints, oil changes and timing belt. Need I say more?
Because of you, I'm buying the GX460 😄
Of course it can drive over inconsequential things like 'broken pavement' and 'speed bumps' with aplomb! It was designed with a 25 year service life, built in Japan at one of Toyota's most advanced plants, and it can cruise on the Serengeti with impunity. Nothing else comes close to the Land Cruiser's reliability and build quality.
split tailgate is my favorite.
you have sparked my interest in Toyota/Lexus 4x4s more than any Dougcar video I've seen. Show/tell us more 😂
That V8 sounds nice when you floor it.
Please consider doing a nighttime POV review on a two way street, preferably one with semi low lighting. It's a great way to showcase how a particular car's visibility fares when dealing with oncoming traffic
King of All roads
Soooo expensive. But takes regular gas compared to LX570 🙌🏻
But LX looks much better and is only 5k more expensive. Too bad about the premium gas but I heard lot of people fuel it regular with no issues long term
HugGest the 5 passenger lx is about the same price actually as the lc200 but is worse equipped believe it or not. The 7 passenger lx is around 96-98k making it around 10-12k more than the lc200 - a considerable increase. If it were me id just stick to the land cruiser, i like the notion of “stealth wealth”
I mean it has the same engine so I don't see why it wouldn't
The LX doesn't require premium. Premium just has better performance gains and the ECU is calibrated for both premium and regular. Its the same thing with engine oil. You can use 5w-30 oil with no issues in these engines rather than the more expensive 0w-20 if you do like i do and require an oil change every 5k miles (sequoia flex fuel)
Injection and timing
Love this video would love too see your impressions on used cars !! The first generation Lexus is would be lovely 😆😆
Toyota for life...
Drive a 2018 navigator! I drove a rental for a week. Easily one of the best SUVs I've ever driven. Also very nice night driving.
We need the same POV for the LX as well.
Awesome truck, I can’t wait to get one!
The car is great
Pound for pound and dollar for dollar the Sequoia looks like the best deal in a body-on-frame Toyota SUV.
If you are buying SUVs by the ton then the Sequoia wins in the value equation. The Premium vs Regular gas question is odd when Toyota sells 5.7 and 4.6 V8 engines with virtually the same output but different fuel specs. It makes little sense to me.
Somebody has to get out the calculator to see if a base 4Runner or base Sequoia is cheaper by the ounce. BTW that Land Cruiser (or Sequoia) has to fit securely in the garage or it might wind up on a one way trip to a country whose name ends with the letters "s-t-a-n". ;)
Desperate4Attention , Even if I had the 50-90 grand to spend (new or used) on one of these leviathans , I would still be too CHEAP to pay for Premium every time. Sequoia for the win.
Anthropology 4Everyone , As for the unintended ultimate destination for a Toyota 4X4, don't rule out countries that end in I and A either.
Land Cruiser is 100 percent made in Japan thats the big difference
Very OP content keep it up
I just wished the land cruiser/lx570 rear 3rd row area was more traditional like a 4runner with its one piece tailgate and fold flat 3rd row
Tech Defender the fold flat third row will sacrifice ground clearance. Land Cruisers have always had seats fold up to the sides since the 40 series. This makes them easily removable and more vertical storage space. In addition, the clamshell rear door is a hallmark of the LC series as well. With fold flat seats and a one piece door, just buy the sequoia.
One of my dream vehicles. Little out of my price range right now. Guess I'll go with a 4Runner TRD Pro for now. Not that the Pro is a bad thing......
Finally the LC200!!!
I am thinking to trade my 4Runner limited for one of these
Ofc man nothing compares to the land cruiser and lx 570
i understand rich people but isn't this car enough to do all that luxury stuff that people want?Why pay 100 grand for a land rover when in my opinion this is good enough
the truly rich buy the toyota land cruiser, the newly rich buy range rovers to show off.
Clevver I think it’s luxurious to be honest When my dad bought the sequoia in 05 I thought it was the coolest thing ever I’t was so much fun.Toyota trucks are amazing
Exactly, they are pretty basic but that's what keeps them running. Range Rovers are good for 2 years before they turn into a shitbox
Truly rich buy neither LC nor RR, they're both too expensive.
Dushmanu Munkinboy because it is Japanese
Really surprised that he didn’t like the seats. I thought they felt more comfortable than my lazy boy
Can you do video on the new Subaru Ascent
Can you make a video for f150 ecoboost 3.5? I have the similar thought process as you did, looking around like LC, LX, GX, Tundra, tacoma. I need to tow RV in the future, so more prefer Truck at this moment, and seriously think about f150 ecoboost, it would be nice to see your point of view of the truck
Great review
That's unfortunate that we don't get this in Canada.
I'm curious if the LC will run on 87 but still recommends premium, or if it makes full rated power on 87?
Finally
Hmm it is pricey tho. Might be good for the long run
you can still drive this with no problem after 20 years.
Can you do lexus lx570 pov drive
I would love to see you do a porsche Macan.
I have a 2014 4.0L V6 model and its awsome. But you only get the V6 in the middle east and its about 56K here
There’s also a 4.6L V8 and a 5.7L V8 in the Middle East.
Qatar cars yeah I know but I meant that Middle East is the only place where you get the V6
This a common theme from toyota about steering wheel. We own 2 4runners and the limited model has very stiff steering wheel. When I compare it to my parents GX 570, its identical in strength. So I noticed that it's a toyota thing.
Now try the Nissan Patrol
De Kronik Snowsill they don’t sell the Patrol in the US.
Plz do a Honda CR-V 2018 1.5 turbo
Do Ford Mustang Test Drive
I don't understand how you can drive 70mph @1600 rpm and only get 18mpg. they really need to figure out how to make this vehicle more efficient and then it would be the best vehicle on the market.
because of the weights and vehicle dynamics.
You call $85000 expensive. Guys pay $200K for this machine where am from. We pay like 100% custom duty, yeah our government really fucks us over. A ranger rover will cost $250K and an LX570 somewhere close to $350K (I know, that's rolls royce money).
i love the diesel version of this
Man that right headlamp is anoying, video is good of course.
I totally agree on the looks of Land Cruiser, needs a good update...look old and a bit ugly...
Ugly looks?? Oh man land cruiser face is far more unique... the stylish is quitr retro
I should not understanding your language
Just I see you r driving
Man I am big fan of Land Cruisers, but the colour, Nahhh!
$85k for a Toyota though? 🤷♂️
you can drive it for like 160k miles and still sell for $40k. probably one of the best made vehicles in the history of mankind.
You're right. It should be sold for at least 100k
And? You could easily waste 100k on a new Ford, Chevy, or Lincoln in the same class and none of them will ever hold their resale value like the LC. I know my LX will sell good if I ever want to sell it no matter what the miles.
Its a bargain when you compare it to the Mercedes G-Class. They are made with pretty much beefy bits and are made to last. With the Mercedes the American running gear isn't as reliable as the land cruiser but for vehicles used by militarizes and in harsh areas the price is very affordable. Of course I would get both vehicles used. I'm a personal fan of the G55 AMG, The earlier 200 series land cruisers, and the LX570 throughout the lifecycle.
An LX in good condition that was $90k in 2011 and has 105,000 miles on it can sell for $27,000.
First
You can get a good bmw for that money kid.
Yeah but how about reliability and depreciation? Thats the thing about German vehicles they dont last long parts are super expensive and they lose value very fast! But dam you right tho! 85k for this with no ambient lights no side mirror lights smh!
i think most of us have been where you're at... as far as having that mindset. NO BMW will keep running as long as a Land Cruiser, without any major issues AND retain so much value. If you were going to purchase a vehicle for the long term, this over any BMW ever. However, if you were going to lease and try to impress your yuppie co workers then go with a beamer.
Ur a jew
Bmw for gay person wkwkwkw
