It’s because it’s a global platform for LC. In every other global area you can get a diesel that offers the 3rd row seats in the LC. If you pay attention the Lexus model rear plastics and cup holders are completely different, so it doesn’t share with that platform. We don’t get the diesel because California is a communist state that for some reason other loonies copy for their regs…. Hybrid only for us. Battery in rear so no 3rd row.
1. the interior dark colour and fabric seats are part of the basic trim that you were reviewing called the 1958 with the round head lamps. 2. 3rd row amenities are there because in other parts of the world (eg Europe) it is offered with a diesel engine and 3rd row seats because not all markets get the Lexus GX
It’s a global vehicle. Other countries that do not get the hybrid power train get the third row. We do not since that is where your hybrid battery sits.
This is hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂 Especially for land cruisers. Maybe they should have a land aircraft carrier? Land battleships no longer exist, what's bigger than a cruiser?
2001 Landcruiser owner here and loved this review! We use ours for camping and having the 2nd row seats fold is crucial for fitting a mattress in the back to sleep, and the cup holders come in handy for that setup as well (even if it wasn’t intentional on their end!) We were considering getting a new one but they left out a huge part of this car design that we love, the tailgate! It used to be a bi-fold that you could use for seating or as a table space and now it’s just a life gate. Such a miss on their redesign.
Disagree! I prefer more rugged vehicles and am, in fact, a mom. I specifically searched “car mom Land Cruiser” to see if car seats would fit in the back. 😆
I hope you get to review the GX!!
LOL at the grab handles in the trunk 🤣

Hi Kelly, nice Toyota Land Cruiser & I like how it looks.
1. the interior dark colour and fabric seats are part of the basic trim that you were reviewing called the 1958 with the round head lamps.

That's exactly how the 4Runner trunk is too and it's been that way for years. Even the flip seats for access to the "third row" trunk.
I like it, it reminds me of the Chevy Trackers. I wish they would bring back more smaller 2 row SUVS with the bigger trunks.
Congrats on the new baby! Will you do the GX?
I was told by someone on the Toyota know, that the 3rd row amenities were left for the people who would like to camp / sleep in the back
That is what I was thinking
It’s a Landcruiser Prado, US doesn’t get the LC300

Maybe a "Grand Land Cruiser" on the way 🤔

Dont think so
I'd love to see a more in depth review of this car for someone with only one or two kids.
Kind of stupid they left that ‘3rd row stuff’???
This is probably a pre-production model.
It is so weird design, it's shame for land cruiser.
I was hoping this was going to be way better when it made a come back. Toyota has been so disappointing with their large suv lineup

I’m on the waitlist to purchase with my dealer!!!!!
Need a full review
2024 leather should be standard….
There is no way the Land Cruiser can return 3 years after getting discontinued.
Wouldn't light colored interiors at car shows get really dirty? That won't look good on camera.
Leather seats suck and they crack in due time! Those are awesome cloth seats!
looks great, are they dropping the 4runner? Seems to compete. Congrats on #4
In the original press release they said some models do have third row.
Hope one day you give a shot on Beijing auto show
Wrong car for your channel.
