I Bought a Toyota Land Cruiser - FINALLY! 

This car is pretty expensive...

Yeah i also appreciate that he just doesnt get another g-class iyf car but sth reliable, subtle and frankly quite cool and for me more of a standout than a g wagon. Always loved those landcruiser its a pretty neat and good car.

@@yungboicontigo9278 your mom

Erm not really. Plenty of names pop to mind. Most journalists are really long past the excitement of driving an Italian sports car

@@yungboicontigo9278 iyf = in your face

As an owner, everything about the LC makes perfect sense except the hideous fuel economy.

It's nothing but subjective, it simply makes sense to buy what you want, especially with little research so you know what you getting into

Rest of the world has diesel versions

If Dough was rational he would have kept the e63 wagon.

Actually, buying a big car that is stored in a garage 90% of the year without use is the opposite of sensible.

me lol

Me

Me - he’s too much a nerd for new little tech things that I knew he would never keep it

My kids ask to go land cruising if they want me to drive through our yard.

Not funny bro

Facts

He needs as many offroad SUVs as how many undershirts he wears Imao

These bots need to shut up.

He should buy that volvo s60r with orange seats

@@yinyangsepticruski Report them like I did and they just might 👌

Absolutely

He has a place in Nantucket. That says enough lol

I think that applies for new cars

@@mystfire you can get a home on the island thats not much more than the mainland here. Yes, the prices here are insane, but it’s still not a huge premium to live there. Cost of living is a whole different discussion, as is transportation to the island, but the premium to buy property there isn’t as high as it could be.

@@mystfire and owns a Ford GT

I like how he constantly goes on and on about eco-efficiency while flying first class between the coasts 20 times a year. That sums up the hypocrisy (and the science-denial) of our ruling class in a very Orwellian way. Oh, and btw, I'm not a subscriber to CAGW. I just don't like virtue signalers who have never owned a mirror.

For how inefficient, dull and overall very bulky some of those Toyota SUVs were, they were super fucking utilitarian, simple to use and fix and very very bulletproof. Death, taxes and a Toyota V8 drinking gas and lasting forever.

Yeah, but in all fairness, Land Cruisers are probably one of the greatest and most iconic vehicles ever made.

Lol it’s a Land Cruiser - one of the greatest vehicles ever made

I wonder if he sandbagged the ratings for the Land Cruiser so people buy the Land Rovers, Mercs, or others so the pricing would come down. 😂

Very original.

@@powEnvy embarrassing lol

"rover" "cruiser" LOOLLLL

Wow never heard that one before

I feel you on that

Idk I’d rather have a bunch of lambos

This car is not cool in any way, the design looks about 15 years older than the year it was released.

@@Studeb good thing nobody buys these for design

Yep, a bunch of money and some Lambos. Lack of imagination. If I could afford a new Lamorghini, I would get a C8, a nice motorcycle, a summer commuter car and a winter suv for the same money.

One of THE most subtle enthusiast cars that has ever existed

​@@buffalobob7721 ig part of the reason would be because in that video Doug was talking more from a car reviewer POV than a car enthusiast POV plus Doug used to be a lot harsh when reviewing whereas now Doug is more critical and reasonable.

@@buffalobob7721 he talks about why in this video. He hated the 2016 refresh front end. Hated the wheels. Didn’t need the “features” etc

I’ve owned a 2000TLC which I paid $55k to drive it off the stealership floor - sold it in 2012 w/ 120k miles, for $28k, then had a 2012 Range Rover SC LWB Autobiography trim level, that I paid $110k for, traded that for a 2015 MB GL63 AMG, which I paid about $115k, which I traded for a 2020 Escalade ESV w/aftermarket supercharger and related drivetrain upgrades…. Now I’m looking for a white 2021 LC non-heritage trim level, w/ the red/brown/burgundy interior, or the Lexus LX570 version of same, sans running boards… the Japanese products are of superior build quality and their reliability is renowned, thus the high demand for late model examples

Buy an 80 series man! Absolute monsters

Jus got a gx470.. love it

@@mooreclarke6547 why would you rub that into poor Johnny's face...im about to buy a land cruiser

Have a 2013 LX. Can confirm. Its amazing. Can also confirm that it's really thirsty.

​@matthew48390 Just bought a '13 LX as well!

i watched the PTGT review and was interested lmao hes the goat

What about regular car reviews

And here we are

Oh no man. These rigs are awesome.

Perhaps you should start to reevaluate your priorities.

Theres a video from last year about that on MoreDougdemuro

Aaaand Fuel Stabilizer.

Matt Farah's garage

@@jamesalders896 Can you link?

Better go to scotty kilmers page

I live in dubai any car with a black interior/exterior is definitely a no it burns ur body

My Jeep has black leather. It’s fine in the summer. Cars nowadays have tint from the factory. The only thing I don’t like about leather is it stores the cold in the winter time

Your so right. My dad has an old 05 E-class and its all black on the outside and on the inside. And sitting in that car in the Texas heat is so terrible.

@@IntelliPocalypse Well you can get a car that has heated leather seats and they often work very well if the car is new enough. Sadly my driver's seat in my 2008 Acura no longer gets hot all that quickly. It got warm fast when I bought it...less than a year ago. Now it takes a bit of time to warm up. The passenger seat gets hot almost immediately though. Tempted to see if I could swap the two seats...but might just be easier to find one at a junk yard and leave the passenger seat. Only thing the passenger seat needs is a seat cover.

@@kingzach74 My jeep has heated seats. Just forget to remote start it sometimes. Than I am greeted with cold leather lol

Exactly, like what the hell...

and calls it 4x4x4...

As if the Defender can go offroad.

Along with a Ford gt and an rs2

And never go off road....

in fact, yes he is the one to do that LOL

@So Sexy i'm Sexy tell doug to take us on a tour of your quirks and features, see how you drive and give us a dougscore. Then we'll see if u are worthy :D

@@andrewblanco2657 bro, you just made me choke on my water hahaha

And then give it a Doug’s Score…

Yeah I don’t know how you can go from a Land Cruiser back to the defender after this.

200 plus likes for that 200.

You go to Africa to safari in a Land Rover and you'll end up in a Land Cruiser. There's a reason this cars are the norm in Australia, Africa and Middle East.

Kevin are you black?

“If you want to get to the bush in style, take a Jeep. If you want to get into the bush in style, take a Land Rover. If you want to get back out of the bush in style, and home before dinner, take a Cruisah’ and accept no substitutes” -a saying I’ve heard from at least three bush guides in Australia.

Do You guys get Toyota HILUX in Africa? Just curious

@@octoman_games Africa is a whole gd continent, you know? Many, many, different countries with many, many different car markets and regulations. You have to be more precisely, for example asking where exactly he's from and if they can get theit hands on the Hilux in his country.

A Ford GT is also a challenging car to achieve because of its rarity

@@bonzobonanza he was joking lol

Problem with white cars that dirt are more visible compared to darker colored cars, but since it's an offroader, nobody cares.

great suggestions!

@@automation7295 it's the opposite with cars. Dirt would be way more visible on a black car.

@@MazDanRX795 *"Dirt would be way more visible on a black car."* Depending how much dirt. On black cars, dirt can be visible when the car is exposed on sunlight or view the car up close. The downside with black cars is get hot when exposed on sunlight for too long.

Respect to Ghana 🇬🇭

Same in Pak lol

we in india, have the situation only important people or head of state owned these

San Diego where Doug lives in one of the most expensive places to live in the US. And Nantucket where he goes for the summer is also one of the most expensive places to stay on vacation/holiday. Safe to say Doug is doing alright for himself!

Same in Haiti

No

Jewish

It’s because he genuinely cares about the cars he reviews. He’s, at the core, a passionate car guy.

@@Gwartonium Doug is jewish?

I think he's more of a aztek than atrailblazer

Man, I cant imagine how much the Lexus version would cost.

i read it as 9, without the "k" and said to myself: well, it's a new car, of course. and then i realised it's 90 000 😲 edit: i was told 9k are actually 9 000, but i'm still amazed. not so much as if it was 90k, but still :

@@kylestephens9593 yes, it wasn’t new, it was a Certified Pre-Owned

@@goingindieEN Actually not much more. Landcruisers have a near cult like following that the Lexus doesn't. Landcruisers always command high prices. I helped a friend buy a new Tundra a couple of years ago. They had a new landcruiser on the showroom floor. It was the only car that was locked. I asked a salesperson if I could sit inside and he said their policy for landcruisers is to have a credit app on file before they open the door.

@@kylestephens9593 9k is 9,000

in my place you could see like 2-3 land cruisers in every traffic light mostly j200 series

yea...Qatar is the hotspot for land cruiser enthusiasts (especially LC100)

Same in Monteria, Colombia

I know rytt also seen lx 570 too much

I see at least one (not including mine) on just about every drive i do around Adelaide, Australia

100% agree Rahul! This is why he will be more successful on the long-run than others.

YES! I went on a vacation to Dubai and stayed at the Atlantis resort and we went on a whole trip and I almost threw up from the insane driving and after that we relaxed and enjoyed a meal. Excellent experience.

Same here lol. When I pulled up I was kinda shocked then when we took off I was like holy shit

He bought it for the same reason. This video could’ve been a minute long but he was trying to justify his purchase to us for over 23 minutes. He bought it because he likes the styling that’s it. He was also in Dubai and saw Arabs use white Land Cruisers and other Toyotas and he wanted to buy into that lifestyle. He thinks it looks cool. He says he wanted reliability but there are many US made SUVs that are just as reliable if not more.

Dude they’ll drive up anything. I’ve driven mine up a giant sledding hill that was covered in sheets of ice because my friend bet that it couldn’t

I can only afford 87 gas not 89 gas. But maybe one day! I can dream!!!

​@@j_freed 95 to 97 for me

It is a brilliant machine, in my country dignitaries are exclusively transported in these around the city and beyond.

Yeah, until gas stations fade away within the next 15 years

@@MrMentalSoul they aren't gonna fade away in at least 100 years

*"Pretty sure that LC will last forever!"* Until there's no humans left, who's gonna service the Land Cruiser then? Servicing cars requires a human. I love how people assume that all Toyota's last forever. No car can last forever.

its for the camera, dummy. did u expect him to be monotonous in his expresions?

Tbh 10 year in one hands is not something special. Wait another 10 years and that will be a different story

I heard that the reason the land cruisers are so reliable is basicly because the parts are engineered to last 25 years, while in all other cars they're made to last 15.

What's wrong with bots? My brother had a 2011 toyota sienna, yes a "mom van" and what a car it is. 10+ years he only changed front bushing (we are from latam, streets here are like the moon land).

@@PaszekoYT it'll be fine then as well. This is Toyota, not any junk

@@batialexis9339 I have a '07 Sienna and a '21 GX and I can attest that the Sienna is a very honest and reliable car. I will drive it until the wheels fall off. I've never had to take it in to the shop.

Just do it already🙂🙂🙂

Did u?

Don't hesitate, you will not be disappointed of the content on this channel.

@@danielgeorgenahabwe5382 yep

We picked up a 2013 black over black with 15k miles recently.. took forever to find to say the least.

Just wait 15 years and buy Doug’s with 105k-120k on it. It’ll still go plenty after he nurses a 1000-2000 miles a year on it. 🤣

@@chrisg5712 or just u. but what do i know 🤷‍♀️

I’m from Morristown and I’m sad to say that I recently totaled my 2021 LC and there seemingly no replacing it at a reasonable price.

Agreed I wasnt going to watch this but once I realized he bought one I was excited :)

I get about 14-15 city and 18-19 highway with my 2013. The only time it sees sinle digits is towing a 6,000 lbs trailer with boat.

Weird how I went to every Toyota Class on the 3UR-FE engine never wasthis brought up one time and it is also weird how the part numbers are the same for every component I have ever ordered for those engine between those models. They make that engine in Alabama.

So says the Toyota car care nut

Little-known fact, the Toyota 5.7 is a reverse engineered Dodge Hemi engine with different tuning

@@Lexrolla-1 Not really. That is a pushrod engine. The 5.7 is an evolution of the 4.7. It has a longer stroke, timing chain, and aluminum block with cylinder liners.

Would you explained the Civic Reference in Toronto? I'm curious.

@@ferramirez4570 There are lots of Civics in Toronto.

Habibi, come to Africa. 😂 We have it in every corner, parking lot and driveway.

Hello

Hello

Hello

I agree but this guy literally owns a Ford GT

@@shellshocktm lmao I was just thinking the same thing

I have a 1995 Land Cruiser, and daily drive a 2003 Sequoia Limited. The best of both worlds I'd say. Land Cruiser is the weekend getaway vehicle that doesn't see salt where I live. Sequoia is all I'm driving at the moment.

Yes, there are enough channels out there already for the jerk off millennials who get impressed by that crap. I much prefer his stuff.

@@yungboicontigo9278 hoovies even says its the dumbest automotive channel....also Tavarish, Samcrac, WatchJRGo, its getting lame. Who cares if you have a salvage title Lamborghini with 2000 miles on it, if it costs 1500.00 for an oil service. Scotty Kilmer, Legit Street Cars, Doug, and some of RichRebuilds are for the common man.

@@yungboicontigo9278 I unsubscribed from him long ago. He became nothing more than a common click baiter.

This is the most natural "Doug is the type of guy" comment I've ever seen.

Is this prado? Also, is it easy to drive a car with this length and size?

@@ajl2232 This isnt a prado. But it feels like a standard toyota, in large countries a large car is perfectly fine.

@@betalpha5846 Whats the difference between a landcruiser, prado and a v8? Plus what brand of toyota does the United nations use? I really love those cars.

@AJ L This particular one is a 200 series Land Cruiser, the Prado is more luxury oriented and slightly smaller. It's not sold in North America and some other markets, and in Europe it's sold as the Land Cruiser V8

​@@ajl2232prado is a tuned down land cruiser. Im from Africa and I live in the middle east. U know horrible roads alot of actual off roading that u actually need to do so those are the cars that make the standard. Drop dear reliable vehicles that keep their value. 70 series is based on the land cruiser from several generations and decades ago. All around the world its the standard military vehicle (yes) driven by formal armies ans militias. Incredibly rock solid and usually comes as a single cap diesel pickup with some guns and canons attached to its beds. In the middle east its driven by civilians as a combined farm, desert and daily. Plus the Hilux wich is standard in the middle east and considered luxury in africa. Usually douple cap that can carry pple and stuff indefinitely. In style and pride.

Are you high? How much kool-aid have you been drinking? He bought an SUV to keep on a small island on the other side of the country when he vacations there. Nothing about that seems practical or justified. He found something he wanted, bought it, and talked himself into justifying the purchase.

@@cwg73160 it’s ok to have your own opinions! Maybe you can keep them to yourself!

@@stefanb5266 You don’t have to get angry because of someone’s opinion, guy.

@@stefanb5266 Go chew on a rock. codars is 100% right.

How could you ever be excited about a tribute car.

It's a land cruiser. The only normal thing about it is the badge.

Its a Land Cruiser... a vehicle in a class of its own. Might as well not have a Toyota badge.

Even I would be excited as him after getting the most reliable SUV after all the previous cars he bought

linus

Same here! 2013 Lc200 owners unite!

@casi what

Yeah! Amazing feeling

I think this is as close as he will get to reviewing my Starfire Pearl/Cashmere LX570, but it also feels good!
