  • In today's video, I test drive (for my first time) the all new 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser! So stoked the nameplate makes a return here to the states, and I'm even more stoked after driving one. A lot has changed--it's a hybrid turbo 4-cylinder full-time 4WD SUV now, but what hasn't is the fact that it's a very solid vehicle! Check out the whole video to see why I think so 😊
    Special thanks to Isaac from Team4Runner for the collab--check out their socials below!

    there is another very cool feature that comes with toyota hybrid tech, its the ability to super efficiently camp at night with the AC while barely using any fuel, people have been camping in prius, rav4 and even sienna for years now, not having to use diesel or gas heater is a huge plus.

      Well there is a whole team of mechanics that baby those, and this is supposed to be an off-road away from the garage platform that doesn't need the typical maintenance of even a Tacoma. I think it's a great car, but a huge departure from what "Land Cruisers" should be.

    • @CraigBarron-qx9bq
      @CraigBarron-qx9bq Місяць тому

      True. That said, I think people will have more confidence if it proves itself through water crossings. Many adventure tracks in Australia involve water crossings, and many water crossings are in remote locations.

    For me, I've removed myself from the Sequoia and LandCruiser waiting lists, but on the GX550 and '25 4Runner waiting lists. Mainly, it's just personal preference or styling issues. As asked, I like the rectangular LandCruiser headlights over the round ones.

    Did the parking sensors turn off when using 4lo or using MTS in the Landcruiser trim? And the volume button on the Landcruiser grade is only in that weird spot for the NA market. Other markets have it in a MUCH better location.

    It'll be great if the hybrid proves itself through repeated water crossings, and/or through mud over a period of time. Many adventure tracks in Australia involve water crossings and/or mud, and many water crossings are in remote locations.

    It is grammatically incorrect to state that something is "very legendary" because when something is legendary it is remarkable enough to be famous or very well known. There can be no less legendary or more legendary classifications of people or things. It is either legendary or not legendary.

    • @christorealov9050
      @christorealov9050 Місяць тому +2

      Yep. A fully loaded 4runner TRD pro will prob top out just about where the 1958 starts and you get bigger tires (A/T not these crappy all seasons), a lot more fancy suspension, better interior and you can put down the window on the rear hatch.

  • @charliemcawesome5012
    @charliemcawesome5012 Місяць тому

    No MTS and no sway bar disconnect because if you lift or change tire height and diameter and width, with the sway bar it’s now “complicated” any work you do. And with the MTS the algorithms likely won’t like massive changes to the vehicle height and change of tire size and weight.
    Thats why I ordered a black 1958. The colour choice sucks though…..

In 2wd. 4 high, 23 and 4 low 13. Out would go anywhere and take whatever I threw at it. My 2nd Gen Tacoma with the 4.0 V6 only gets 15 mpg in 2WD. Great truck though, still.
