4:37 that is very disappointing that Toyota stopped providing an independent turn signal. I don't really mind the color but a different bulb/unit from the brake/tail light. Weird that they went that way now that the domestics are going with that safety feature. Even the F-150 have amber rear turn signal now!
I loved the older land cruisers but the new ones are sweet as well. I get the v8 wants but these new technology with 465 torque etc have made these very nice. Plus the heads up display etc are perfect. Let’s face it not many Land Cruiser owners are not off-roading every day. In fact many probably never leave the highways. They buy them for size, convenience and most of all the likelihood of driving 3-400k miles in their lives with little to no issues.
But this is not the old land cruiser that u are thinking about. This is a land cruiser prado, and it is a lite duty land cruiser sold overseas, until now. That never had a v8, unless you get the lexus version called the GX that came with a v8 from the 1st and second generations. Now, it's a twin turbo v6, but some people rather get the hybrid max of the LC 250 for improved milage, but only slightly less horsepower and torque
This has not replaced the 200 series, this is a model below that series aka Prado in other markets. The replacement for the 200 series Landcruiser is the 300 series which is available in other markets except the US. The reason behind this is most likely sales and the cost of the Landcruiser 200 series in the US. Toyota includes the wording Landcruiser with multiple model variations.
It did replace the 200 series in the U.S. lol I think the 250 (Prado) harkens back to the real Landcruiser anyways, which is what they were going for per Toyota
@MaddNomad1015 it's a different model and not a direct replacement. The direct replacement would be the 300 series. The heading is factually incorrect. It should list the model/series/ Landcruiser.
We are getting that as the Prado for around 100k usd here in the Philippines and it will be the 4 cylinder turbo base model. We have the LC300 which is 120k usd. It's expensive over here.
Another RU-vid channel just recently stated that it can use 87 octane, unless you are towing something of considerable weight. The introductory RU-vid video by Toyota, also stated that this engine could use 87 octane.
Those don't really make sense to cross shop against each other. If you need the off road ability the Landcrusier is the only pick. If you don't then it makes no sense over the other two.
A $40k plus vehicle, slapped a landcruiser name to it, charged $58k for it, let add 10k to it for the 1st edition, now let add $10k for the dealer markup. sound like a great idea.
This car is sold overseas as Prado with a third row seating option. They just didn't want to kill the new Sequoia in the US. That's all. I promise you, next year you will see LC with a 6 cylinder engine, the same as the one used in the Tundra.
Cant imagine anyone getting this over the 4Runner with the same exact drivetrain & roughly $12,500 less than the Land Cruiser. It would be different if Toyota at least allowed the 5.7l to be optioned in. But why do that if you can just give your customers the finger?
The comp for the Land Cruiser is the 2025 4Runner TRd PrO or Trailhunter. Both of those will be within $5k of the mid trim Land Cruiser fully loaded with premium package

It looks amazing and I'm sure it's great...but it's $68k. Seems grotesquely overpriced. No one needs this vehicle to commute to the office. It's a toy. A very expensive toy.
This in other markets is toyota land cruiser prado j250- with previous versions j150, j120. There is a real LandCruiser with version like lc100, lc200 and most current lc300 which is the mighty one than this!
Prado is more of a throwback to what the Land Cruiser used to be. During that Japan press release, Toyota said they’re going back to just having 3 versions of the concept instead of the 300 being THE LC
Who is exterior designer of this car? It is terrible, bumper could be going through without black grill coming down, because they're not using chrome, this is not expensive or cheap car, but at least it should look luxury
Reliability no more tell that to my 2022 TUNDRA WITH A SECOND BLOWN MOTOR WITH 17K MILES AND NEVER TOWED ANYTHING!!!!!!!!ALL THESE TURBO'S SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for you and good luck. I just traded in my 2023 Sequoia for a 2024 4Runner Limited. I had it for a year and even though I had no issues didn’t want to risk it.
Overpriced... Toyota lately has gone insane with their pricing let alone how these new models have less features for the price. I'm in no way a Ford fan, but their Bronco has similar and some cases, more features for much less (wouldn't trust it long term), but damn - Toyota is definitely dropping affordable cars in favor of "luxury" light cars that cost the same as their premium brand Lexus. Just like how pick up trucks have suede and leather seats with almond milk latte warmers for you to load a bag of groceries from Whole Foods - this "land cruiser" is ridiculous
I agree that Toyota's are insanely overpriced, BUT to be fair, they earned it - they have zero competition by most brands out there. Their reliability and MPG is pretty much unmatched...only other Japanese cars can compeitie there at best. And sense you mentioned the Branco...most of those are trash except 1 trm that costs about 50k. No offense if you rather get bang for the buck, but Fords just can't be reliable as a Toyota. Toyota is expensive because they know most people will pay a small fortune for that - which sucks, but they aren't wrong in it. Kia and Hyuandais are exploding or their transmissions are just falling part under 40k miles. I'm not happy with Toyota pricing, but if you are going to spend a ton of cash, at least it will work past 100k easily. Its just one of those things you have to weigh out now. Reliability/high cost/less features vs. Nice features/less reliability/less MPG
@@JoseR-bw2gs the V8 was actually gold now hon get a 4 that is bead and it a a few thousand less For that price I would rather get a F250 Platinum 7.3 L Godzilla
@@JoseR-bw2gs Looks line your only body on frame option, with a V8 are the Tahoe-Escalade, Suburban-Escalade ESV. Too bad the old Land Cruisers were fantastic l, expensive but at least you got a V8. Btw I thought it was a twin-turbo V6 or that is only in the Alexis GX 550 variant?
@@Tylander_ they are still more reliable than twin turbo v6’s engineering background here ideally you want to get a diesel inline 6 which or a 7.3 L gas V8 if how want to get a truck. I might go with the diesel 6.7 inline 6 power stroke
Depends if somebody cares about mileage/range. That Lexus is a posh ride, but early reports are 13-16 mpg in the real world. So comically poor, and far worse than estimates. But it's damn nice.
@@bassandglof I had a 2023 Sequoia and traded it in last week for 2024 4Runner Limited. I will probably go back to a Sequoia in a year or so once they figure out the engine situation.
Y’all best be tripping rn tho!!! 82K for that fugly car???? Ummmm no no no boo!!!! Why you gonna buy that when you got a chance at these luscious yams if you get a Bimmer or Benz!!!??? Step up that game boo!!!!
