2018 Toyota Land Cruiser - Redline: Review 

Holy shit! That's awesome

@Muugii N They aren't sold Anymore here in EU for emissions 😭

It’s game over for reliable/durable diesels in the US. Toyota knows this and won’t risk their reputation for reliability on trying to make a US EPA compliant diesel. They stay away from turbos for the most part as well. They focus on what they can do best here and they do it really well!

Lets see who starts buying all those trucks from your counrty. I have a feeling some will be shipped to the middle east.

@@talosgoat8697 They have the gasoline version actually

Crickets Creations girls drive Toyota,did not know you were a transgender

Why I see so many soccer moms drive these trucks if it’s a man truck?

Thunder, these trucks are built to last 25 years so if you think Toyota's are what "girls" drive, it sounds like you have some serious sexual insecurity issues....and Zaddy, I see many more soccer moms driving Tahoe's than Land Cruisers

Scott Sanders where I stay a lot of women buy this truck and drive them like they’re late to work. Even the short women. Great truck just terrible mpg

You said this 2 weeks ago "Why I see so many soccer moms drive these trucks if it’s a man truck?" I just see far more "soccer moms" driving Tahoe's and Lexus RX's than Land Cruisers....I just think its funny that that the most durable and reliable SUV sold is some how not cool because it's perceived as woman's truck.

The ting is he does no a good brand.wen u buy toyota u get value for ur money.it last a life time and u get real value for it after 10 years.wen u sell it.

Agreed. He doesn’t seem to understand the vehicles true intrinsic value and why people buy it. Example: “It’s a full foot shorter than the Sequoia, so if you want the biggest Toyota SUV you need to go with the Sequoia.” Ummm, sure, right. Anyone who’s seriously considering a Land Cruiser would never consider a Sequoia (and vice versa). They are two Completely different vehicles for entirely different purposes/missions. It’s shorter because you want and need a shorter wheel base in order to be more effective off road. It also has much higher clearance and much stiffer and different frame and suspension for off road use. Entry and exit angles (does Sequoia even have this? Do their owners even care or think about that?). You’d never think about taking a Sequoia off-road , that thing is a large heavy pig (well, the LC is a large heavy goat, but you wouldn’t want a pig off road, you’d want a mountain goat...) How many times does he say “soft touch” in this video? Lol Anyway I think he totally misses the mark and the whole point of this amazing vehicle. I’ve had 5 friends who’ve had Range Rovers. They lasted about 3-4 years before encountering major issues , mostly electrical, chip/sensor malfunctions and engine and transmission issues. Completely unreliable, I’d never think of taking a RR off road and far away from the nearest town or civilization with my kids or family with me. No way. And are those RR’s still on the road in 25 years? Seriously, that’s the design paradigm and horizon Toyota has developed this around. How about even 10 years? At 10 years these vehicles still drive like brand new vehicles. Ask anyone who’s ever owned one. For real. Also: notice he doesn’t even bother taking it off road? That’s where this thing shines dude. You didn’t even scratch the surface of what this thing is made for. Disappointing.

They should get a MAN to review the Land Cruiser

The problem with this review is that the guy doesn't know what he's talking about.

@@ScottRutledge He got me with the "dated style". What? This is LC. It is an elegant brick. As long as it is not ugly like some previous Prado models it does the job. The visibility is a priority and square simple shape helps with it. I drove LC200 as a tester and ... well.. it is incredible. Too bad roads in Japan are too narrow for 2m width. I would love to see split tail gate in LC150 :) Saying all that, I think it is time to put a V6 as an option. It might work for some people - it would for me. I only mean it as a option, not the replacement.

This is a small light tailgate. I am short and skinny and can lift it no problems.

This guy reviewed the base model as well. The Sahara comes out with power everything. Great for driving the kids to school or buying some groceries.

honestly it's not worth it's $85k price tag that toyota is charging

Robert Blackford a used land cruiser

Robert Blackford it would be better if it was $75k so toyota can sell more of these. Range Rover competes more with the LX570 but the range rover is a piece of crap made in china...

Yes but most people who spend 90k on a car change their cars every 3-5 years so reliably generally isn't an issue

merc is fine

Erick Vagabond in Australia they get a 4.5L diesel V8, along with an extended fuel tank up to 34 gallons. Trust me, those Cruisers have a long fuel range before going empty. That diesel gets pretty good gas mileage as well.

Sergiu Puscasu yes, my cousin in the Philippines has the 4.5 diesel V8 with the big fuel tank and its an awesome truck with a ton of range.

@@RobbieHerrera lucky.

The troop carrier has two 27 gallon tank by default, and mpg around 15 ish ? That's pretty long

Sergiu Puscasu sure does mate!

Tell these fool.they wnt all teck. Speed.for wat.just going to broke u.toyota tink for the ppl.u get value for money everytime.all d fucking time.

@Muugii N hell no that means a camry should be around 50k then with that logic lol

@Muugii N well no shit cars don't usually ride of the same platform as a Truck. But nothing can justifies it costing double the price of other trucks/SUVs that can do the same in its class. Just saying man.

AudaciousMarv no the fuck it doesn’t

The orange in our president does not justify his price. This shit is overpriced considering a corolla for $60k less is just as reliable and that there exists no off road locations that warrant a super wide heavy leather suv.

@@Saki630 You have to understand, the LC200 has beefed up parts, everything is. Even the exhaust is twice the normal thickness and SS... If you don't like it, don't buy one, I love ours and it is insane offroad.

Which European competitors? I don’t think any European manufacturers build a truck based body on frame SUV like this one. Well maybe a classic Land Rover but that is not really in the same class. Mercedes G-wagon perhaps.

All of them! Overpriced money pits, per Scotty Kilmer.

pedro fernandez depends on how much you take care of it. Same goes with Toyota vehicles. it’s all have mechanical parts which can break

nothing like rover pos

I Live in Florida and Range Rovers are constantly on the side of the road overheated.

I noticed that too. Those same people own Suburbans and Yukons rather than Escalades or Mercedes GLS. It's called discretion.

Both x6 and q7 are far cheaper than this majestic beast here in India 😭

It's also caring that you get where you're going without drama. Like to ski? This is your ride.

So so true. Everyone that I know that owns an Lc is basically driving a stealth luxury car. That’s truly what they are.

Agreed. We had a 2005 470. Was perfectly fine but the air suspension acted up. Only complaint.

shindawg3 Well said.

For $90k this vehicle is severely under equipped. You can modify a 4Runner to be better equipped and still come out cheaper than this.

Cristian Jimenez stop comparing this to 4Runner, this truck is way bigger, u can throw as much money as u want onto a 4Runner, it won't magically grow into a full size SUV. The Land Cruiser it is what it is, a legendary SUV with lots of history. It doesn't sell well in the US because of how close it is priced to the Lexus LX and how dated it is. The Land Cruiser do sell extremely well in the middle east countries like UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.

Ro0ster I agree with you about stopping comparing 4runners to land cruisers but 90k price tags are definitely an issue. This is no lexus. There is no reason a Toyota truck or any non luxury truck should be hitting such high price tags. These car manufacturers have been price gouging like crazy for the past decade or two.

You guys complaining wouldn’t buy any of them anyway.Why nag on the price when you know you don’t have the coin? Smh

Yup, any feature that adds less reliability like LCD Speedo or power tailgate doesn’t belong in a landcruiser

I love toyota but this SUV is way to pricey

In Australia we have many more options than the US for the LC, some cheaper others much more expensive, the Sahara is the premium model. What you get when you buy LC is reliability, they are incredibly popular in outback Australia (and in town strangely) and in the Middle East for their deserts where in both situations reliability is extremely important. Unlike what i understand in the US that have well maintained paved roads and places to get the vehicles fixed if any issues occur, in the Australian outback you are very much on your own in many areas and the distances traveled between towns is huge often not seeing other vehicles for several days.

I believe you have made the point that matters the most. Qrd.

Very expensive, but for a very good SUV! You got to pay for the best.

buick park avenue true, most of lexus and toyota trucks on craiglist are approximately 200k miles, these cars are built to last. I dont know why people blindly buying BMW and Mercedes, most the guys i know just buy MErcedes because of the badge, doesnt even know how to change oil...

My parents bought an 99 Lexus LX470, a re-badged Toyota Land Cruiser with extra goodies, and its currently have about 120k miles. The only problem was the my parents ran into was the issue of the throttle body. Nonetheless, it a good car meant to last.

Yeah and people still ask like 10 grand for a 15-20 year old land cruiser with 200k

I have a '02 LX470 with 140k miles, it is a lemon. ABS/Brake problems, cruise control problems, and AHC is a pain in the ass. The ABS/Brake master cylinder fix was $2600 from the dealer part only. Regret getting my 100-series and wish I had gotten a 97 or older.

My ‘05 Land Cruiser is about to hit 260,000! Besides replacing the steering rack and some light east coast rust marks on the body... it’s running like it’s new. Freaking tanks lol

bossman special Sofyan

I think it’s more of a I paid 80k for a vehicle that doesn’t have it. Plus people have health issues that make it hard to push up on a tailgate.

Need to get the lexus for that lol.

bossman special a gay one

A man with a short wife

Kyle Burns I did the same lol

Merry Christmas to you too Joshua.

Who would buy japanese cars? Its design is bad compare to its price. you would rather buy cheaper cars in China or commute. If you go for designs if you want to look good buy European cars, American cars and some China and Korean cars.

J Invincible I would never go to American cars ever again. They have issues that need to work on. Korean cars are well done and improved over the years so they have a chance. Europeans are too expensive to maintain. Nice cars but well too We don't have Chinese cars yet but I imagine US consumers won't even look into Chinese cars over Japanese. Japanese have a good reputation of durable cars in the states. That's something that American cars are struggling. Had a '99 Escort and it sucked my money out of my savings. I'm sticking with Japanese all day.

+Double JJ it would be a scrap in 5 years in america its consider...thats they dont overdo its maintainability

Ikr

TheVP Skywalker, eh?

Hahaha. Sand is a nuisance

Baby party

i really hate sand too.

I like sand. I'm a beach boy. come her in Iceland. the country with cold sand!

Mig D I just wish the Land Cruisers that are available in other countries were in the US.

Tevaris All the power tailgates I've seen are slow. For elderly, very short people, or people with disabilities they may be nice, but for everyone else they're a nuisance. I'm surprised he complained about the lack of power upper tailgate, but didn't mention that the lower part of the tailgate wasn't damped like most truck tailgates.

You made a good point, some people might need it. But yeah it pissed me off that he complained about it.

Plus they always end up failing and have to be repaired.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks of this.

Tevaris on the XC90, its pretty fast and also, its useful for children, or if youre holding something.

A Dream seriously?

The Sequoia would be more for big family's who wants space and comfort. The Landcrusier is for someone who wants reliability and quality and know they can go "anywhere" The 4Runner is for someone who lives a active lifestyle and knows their vehicle can get them to point A and B.

A Dream landcruiser will win

Still driving my 2005 Sequoia with 275,000 milers, runs like new. A little smaller than the new ones. Nice but not luxurious, roomy for camping and travelling with two adults and two big Boxer dogs. Considering giving it away and going to a 2019 LC, will be trying to decide between the LC and 2019 Sequoia. Hoping for some upgrades to both.

As soon as they deal with the apparent emissions issues with the US, I'm getting one

Jonel Albano Toyota will never do it. The turbo will effect reliability and they will never tarnish that reputation. Turbos are known to have problems let alone the lag that comes with them.

Ray Johnson Toyota makes a twin turbo V8?

Jonel Albano turbos are the future with all the crap they are enforcing to all car manufacturers it’s inevitable. except if you or someone with magic power come up with a V8 NA engine that can do the job without using too much gas. Let’s be real oil will go away sooner or later and electric cars will also come into play.

omar nasser Funny, because Lexus flagship sedan, the LS series which historically has been rated as the most reliable car ever built, is now moving to a V6 Twin Turbo (2018 LS500).

Discounts? These things have waiting lists lol

Lol try buying one... There aren't any discounts. Positive part is that there's no premium either. You buy at sticker price. No incentives and you pay to have the truck sent to your dealership cause typically there aren't any just sitting around.

What competitors???

@Robert Blackford Closest is Nissan Patrol (sold as "Armada" in USA). Others are Tahoe and Expedition. Obviously some cross shoppers with X7 and GLS

truck?

It built on a truck frame

This raises the question: what is the TRUE definition of "truck," and where did that definition originate from? Because in Australia, where you see plenty of Landcruisers, "truck" refers to something completely different...

It’s an American thing. My insurance policy for my Mercedes-Benz ML350, a mid-size SUV, classifies it as a “truck” given that the GVWR is north of 6,200 pounds.

Agree. The truck is an icon and is known for long term reliability. The reviewer has no clue as to the heritage and background of the Toyota LC and their owners.

Neverquiter 6 buy it in America and drive it over

i've been to China this year for 1.5 months, never saw a single one of these there, but the Land Cruiser Prado were freakin everywhere

Dream car lmao

bend over makes no sense for canadians unless they really want the toyota badge, cheaper to just buy a lx570

ya nobody in canada would buy a 6 figure Toyota when they make a corolla too. Canadians be like that.

This is not a Parado, the Parado is half strength Landcruiser.

kellyvtec i cringe everytime he stresses that the land cruiser is a truck.. Like i get it!! The fcking platform was from a truck but omg Toyota sells it as a SUV just call it a SUV and those comments he made just made him look like an ass

Elijah Blancaflor for sure, he's only hurting himself

For $90k I would expect a power lift gate too. Hell, I’d want to need to smoke a cigarette after each time I drive it.

Lexus LX 570 2018

As a 200series owner, the LX570 looks like an aliens vagina. I love LCs and all but the current LX? Burn it with fire.

SC14 lol 😁 😂

Clint 007 yup I wish they put Toyota engine and components into the L4 Land Rover...

Lash195 “As soon as gas prices go up this thing will become extinct” ...Things a Peasant will say.If you can afford one gas will be the furthest thing from your mind.

High end SUV buyers are relativly wealthy and don't care about gas prices. They do need to improve the range though.

ピーター Those that stayed on the lot were for the people who actually couldn’t afford to buy them & were just Stretching their wallets.Those who truly can afford don’t bother with gas prices.Same as those buying German cars out of warranty & cant afford to take it to the dealer when things go bad. How often do you think the ppl who can afford these drive them? Maybe to head to the cottage or go fishing or a little off roading with the kids.So the gas theory is out but for those who knowingly cannot afford the thing & buy it as family vehicle for all uses then that’s their business lol.

ピーター Yea you better run along.

ピーター Thanks for agreeing,your cooperation is greatly appreciated:)

Abdelhameed Alotaibi we get 4 choices, three gas and one diesel!

Abdelhameed Alotaibi Oil money!

RAYAN653D wow nice , we dont get the diesel unfortunately.

Abdelhameed Alotaibi I saw some Toyota LC Prado videos uploaded from Middle Eastern reviewers. Toyota definitely save it's best options and upgrades for that part of the world. Lexus obviously bases it's GX 570 on that platform. Toyota would sell a ton of Land Cruisers in the US if they borrowed even a few of the Prado's design queues.

J High true .. i do think its a bit harder for them to compete in the us because of the strong offerings of GM and chevrolet and ford ..

It's a fair price. These land cruisers can do 500k miles and be run hard all day. These are for the working people who need to have a work truck as well as a transport car. In Australia they sell these stripped out with manuals and no features

Tony Badivuk fair? No. Its not a truck and if it some one wants it for transportation then there are plenty of cheaper options

90k?!?!? Wow.

I’ve seen one with 750K miles These trucks last !

Toyota Land Cruiser last forever with almost no repairs! It is very reliability! Classic!

Because he thinks this should drive like Miata? ;)

Khu NoPie it’s ironic when society calls a gay man a sissy. And he’s obviously carrying a silk purse. Heyyyy yeeesssss

Khu NoPie apologize to Sofia
