The Toyota LandCruiser is an off-road champion, no doubt about that.
But does the new LC300 GR Sport - a new sporty, Dakar Rally-inspired variant touted as the most off-road capable of the new 300 Series line-up - deserve all of the hype?
We took it on a full-bore, hard-core off-road test to find out. Diffs locked, drive modes tested, CRAWL control activated, suspension articulation explained, ground clearance covered, approach, break-over and departure angles assessed, twin-turbo diesel V6 engine and 10-speed auto transmission put through their paces... this is Crafty basically going full send on this new Cruiser wagon.
Does it matter that it's a five-seat SUV not a seven-seater? Or does that add to the appeal? Is the price right, or is it too high? Crafty has plenty to say about that in this review. You can read his words at the CarsGuide site by hitting the link below, too.

As an owner of a GR Sport - its the full package with a focus on off road but with the plushness of on road comfort. Its quick off the mark and regardless of weight inside or out it just goes. I'm just waiting on remapping and exhaust upgrades. If your in the market - do it!

@yosefbegic8851 Год назад

I was quoted $156k and a 4 year wait for GR Sport in Perth last week. I was told I will see 4 price rises that I would have to negotiate before handover. The thought of negotiating 4 times for 1 car horrifies me. Hate dealing with car yards.

@markmerlin3424 Год назад

Hats off to Toyota fo having 3 lockers, this is now a beast offroad

@danwhite9436 2 года назад

Yep, GX. You need to add tyres, rock sliders, steel bull bar, lockers, proper platform roof rack, rear bar with a tyre carrier to get that bloody tyre where it should be and now a lift to cope with the extra weight. I think the aftermarket must love how soft each generation of cruiser gets.

@MrBasto73 2 года назад

Yes, GR Sport looks the go and with a whole swag of ARB accessories will be even better for work and play. Absolutely high priced however, what else is there for that money considering the Toyota reliablity and resale? Only my thoughts for what it worth which ain't much. 🙃

@HammerRocks 2 года назад

If the e-KDSS was offered (even as an option) on all models, I'd get the VX. As I can always fit aftermarket lockers. But no aftermarket is available that is equivalent to the e-KDSS. So sadly for me, that means having to opt for the GR Sport variant.

@robyncrighton1255 2 года назад

I think the thing people forget about the GR payload, is that the weight the lockers is already included in the GVM, as well as other differences. So when you go for the GX..pimp it up with lockers, better suspension, bullbar, rocksliders etc, you are likely to be getting close to your GVM just the same as a GR, anyway.

I would rather go for gr cuz I like the how capable the traction control is which is better than the 200 land cruiser. But if not I would buy a 300 land cruiser vx and fit it with good gear😉

@benvisagie8844 6 месяцев назад

I have build enough 70 series landcruisers, and always still frustrated by trying to make it a comfortable car, I think that the GR sport is the best option for me as is. I dont need to change anything except tires when due. The GX with those seats and no luxuries or KDSS wont work for me.

@bbatbileg 2 года назад

At 140 odd thou you have to swap out tyres...ffs that price the bloody thing should have top self off road tyres on it not more on road bias tyre's. Paying for the badge name here.

@robyncrighton1255 2 года назад

In the reviews though, the stock AT tyres on the GR are very capable, but we will change ours out when the originals need replacing. But we never use anything but Bridgestone A/T lt, as a mulga stick will spike the "top shelf" tyres just as easily...lol

Well they do cost the end user $50,000 but are probably about a $2000 cost to the factory. Upper models are always the profit makers for manufacturers.

@aslkdfjhg 2 года назад

Very poor value for money, if you don't do as much off-roading, the Lexus LX is a better place to sit. If you're not towing your house the Prado is great, and you can fully kit it out. There's no point paying this much money for a stock Land Cruiser.

@fabulousoffroaddesigns5080 Год назад

@@markmerlin3424 well that is just miss information. This 300 is based on the new Tundra which has been having all kinds of issues. It (the 2022) may turn out to be the least reliable half ton in the long term reliability study in a few years. Secondly the Ranger (1st place) has beaten the Tacoma (3rd place) for long term reliability once again. Toyota has never beaten Ford in long term reliability in the small truck survey. This just goes to show that Toyota reliability is in some cases just fake news.

I did, 18 month wait. As he said, get the GX or GXL, they are all good units. The 200 Sahara was $136K on road. This will work out at $152K, superior car in every way. Great resale & I've locked in a bargain. Why? Because London to a brick prices will go up by the time this is delivered.
