2021 LC 200 owner here. Thank you for the clarification on the “Prado” name. The Prado is a real Land Cruiser 250 and one of the best off-roaders in the world. I love this vehicle.

@blu_is500 4 месяца назад

I’m probably in the minority, but I absolutely LOVE the squared headlights! I think it adds to the premium look, whereas the rounded ones look retro and/cheaper. Great video, I love that truck. 👍🏽👏🏽

@matriximaster 4 месяца назад

The round headlights are a big fail imo. They could have worked well, but the size/placement is just not right. They should be bigger, or the same size but moved toward the middle more.

@PTbench 4 месяца назад

I totally agree I think square looks better here & I would have thought I'd like the round more. I think round look good on some cars like a 97 E class or 911 etc, but rarely on trucks/SUV.

I miss my FJ cruiser, so round lights edition and boxiness are welcome, as is a trunk window opening. I would certainly go for it since living with fj is not quite nowadays. Hopefully steering wheel is not laborous, definite buy next year when the dust settles. Current Prado is a bit on a softer side.

I actually like the square headlights. How do the dimensions of this one compare to the 1987 FJ60? To me, that was my favorite. If the new one matches the size of the FJ60, I've got no complaints. Except it's missing the short tailgate. :( That thing was so cool.

The 1958 model should come standard with sway bar disconnect (I don't believe it's even an option- but I could be wrong). I agree- the round headlamps look far better. It is just missing one thing to add that sense of character- a split rear tailgate! Would have made this vehicle near perfect.

@nm-qt2hb 4 месяца назад

The last years of Landcruiser sales werw horrible. Toyota sold less than 4,000 per year. Not sure why all the automotive journalism is full of pass glory about this vehicle? Over the years it got very expensive and they didn't sell. So its no secret on why Toyota had to reduce the price on the new ones. Still a well equipped one is very expensive. Time will tell how well it sells. Very good and detailed review. I like the name drop of fellow RU-vidrs.

@luxman999 4 месяца назад

I wonder what will happen if you open the power lift gate while the rear window is already in up position. Will they still latch together without any issue? Another topic. If a well-equipped Land Cruiser costs $70k, why would you buy it instead of GX550 which has same price with more features and V6? I know LC has slightly better MPG but not by huge...

@MotoManTV 4 месяца назад

@lexuslfa4739 4 месяца назад

I have the older 150 series Prado and you can open the barn door when the rear glass is opened. I’m assuming this won’t be able to do that because is opens upwards instead of sideways and it’s electronic, the other one opened because it was mechanical

People talk about the value of this but all I see is a slightly reworked 4runner with the badge costing 15 - 20 k more. I can sorta see it with the lexus but come on. Maybe they should have saved it for the lexus and made the cruiser shorter with a removable top etc and been like a defender competitor or a premium version of a 2 door wrangler/bronco

@javim2589 4 месяца назад

I was expecting it to be a bit more expensive. I have to say i like it somehow... but then again i also like now the bz4x so take it with a grain of salt. I´m sure it will sell pretty well even in today´s economy and hopefully i can see one eventually if they sell it in europe or they keep the good old (always in white color for some reason) former model.

The issue is what to buy for a daily given all the freaking regulations here. Now I can't buy anything is not phev or ev if I want full access to cities 🥲... creepy times we live in. Feels like being in a funnel that nobody wants to be in.

@chrispnw2547 4 месяца назад

As the Landcruisers are hybrid power plants. how are towing capacity and payload impacted once the battery is depleted? If I am towing 5,000 lbs with driver and passenger onboard will the battery be depleted two hours in making the vehicle rely exclusively on the engine only?

@chibbyylol 4 месяца назад

It’s a hybrid, not an plugin so the battery is never really ‘depleted’

@kylem324 4 месяца назад

@@chibbyylol They certainly can be depleted. It depends what battery chemistry is being used to an extent. Toyota typically uses cheaper less efficient nickel based batteries in their non-PHEV hybrids. These can be depleted both in respect to have no/little charge to power the electric assist. But these batteries can also fall out of thermal efficiency and overheat. This happens with heavy use. Which is possible on public roads at legal speeds. This will lead to a loss of performance and will feel less torquey. If its possible to overheat a Camry Hybrid battery not towing anything, it stands to reason a LC250 pulling a load could take the battery outside it’s efficient range. But once it cools down, regular performance would be restored. That said, even with diminished performance, it won’t impact the towing capacity. The non-hybrid model technically has a towing capacity that’s 500lbs greater than the hybrid. So the powertrain is capable of handling the mass without the e-motor’s added torque.

@IsmaelMartinezPR 4 месяца назад

This vehicle is not cheaper, it’s actually $15 more expensive. This is what the 4Runner was supposed to be to that it’s mucho more expensive. The new 4Runner is just a Tacome with a cab, less refined and cheaper materials. Check the weight of the doors and tell us.

I'm not sure why you don't have more subscribers? Other car reviews can't even stand on your little toe! They all like to talk about the door "thunk", soft touch plastics, and other B.S which is really not what consumers care about 😂 You've got class my friend and it's sad but most Americans are just cavemen which can't appreciate the way you present your videos. I know I previously said you shouldn't but perhaps you should do more videos on junk Kia/Hyundai, they are cheap and have lots of cheap tech which it seems most cavemen deem as the top property when purchasing a vehicle, not quality and reliability. In the end you get what you pay for. I don't know.... Do what you need to 😂

Im getting annoyed with these youtuber reviewers literally doing the same reviews on the same vehicle on the same day as if they were all given the same script

@MotoManTV 4 месяца назад

Being you brought it up . . . Funny, NONE of us like it either. However, there's a reason for it. Viewers are MUCH more likely to watch our episodes (no matter the channel) when they drop on the nose of an OEM embargo - such as the case as this one. There is a very easy way to fix that: Viewers/Subscribers watch their favorite channel within the first 24 hours after a video drops. That in turn would tell the algorithm the audience likes the video and it will recommend it to more viewers - thus replicating the 'bump' we all get on these embargoes after a manufacturer event. Instead, what happens - again, no matter the channel, most subscribers don't watch the videos that are NOT subject to an embargo and they languish - no matter the car or the channel - in relation to the normal audience size and those videos have nowhere near the ROI the embargoes see. At the end of the day, we run independent businesses and this is the nature of the beast.
