The Greatest SUV Ever Made 

Hey brother, good to see you make vids again 👍 these Landcruisers are very common here in Aus cause they pretty much cover every aspect everyone needs in a car (except good fuel consumption 🤪) but I never knew how people could afford them, most are upwards of $100k

04 LC 100, with the 2UZ FE it is the last of the Simpler Reliable. My Decked Out/Tilt Over Lander takes me any where I want to go, Tows like nothing and gets me Home!

@@kennethrhodes7143 Quite sure my mom’s 100 series was an 04. 100 series is maybe my favorite looking LC (06/07 to be specific). All class.

You can upgrade it to 2021 model without cutting anything

@@ahmadutyakapeanutusa6135 bro theres a lot difference between price of 2009 lc200 and 2021.

200 series is a beast compared to the GX version. GX feels more car like when you drive it. LC / LX feel like a tank.

@@JP1050xhe said GX-R, which is a mid-level trim for the LC200 in the Middle East

Oh my god. Terry! This made my day. Haha yes, Jonathan and I were Mario Kart fiends. I hope you and yours are doing great!

I am so alive

Nice, I actually wasn't familiar with the 105 until your comment. Pretty rad!

Isn’t the NA diesel woefully bad on fuel and lacking in power though?

@@dominicscaliseoh that’s just the beginning. Australia has just about every numbered land cruiser you can think of, 70, 76, 79, 80, 100, 105, 120… They even get a land cruiser pickup 😅

I think terrorist groups have known that for a very long time...... ask Hezbollah, ISIS, Taliban, al Qaeda, Hamas, etc why they only attack the USA military using the Toyota Landcruiser and Toyota Hilux truck...... so tough that the UN made it its official vehicle since the 80s..

Both are dull and boring.

Thank you! So happy to be back. Man, 100 series are so choice. Might be my favorite looking LC.

They're great, man. Took me a long time to find one that had reasonable miles and wasn't priced to the moon. They are finally starting to come down.

​@@dominicscaliseWhat year did you end up purchasing?

@@nyquil762 it’s a 2013. I wanted the facelift and all the other features that come with it.

Hell yeah. White was my first choice. That's all I'm planning on doing as well: rubber mats, delete 3rd row, and all-terrains. I've been on the fence with a small lift - how has that impacted ride quality?

@@dominicscalise It rides a bit stiffer, but it doesnt dive on heavy braking. MPG also went down about 2 mpg.

Thanks, Jesse! :)

Thanks so much, Cory!

Thank you! I bet the ISF is a blast. Always thought those were cool.

Thanks, Miguel! I’m a general good thing enthusiast - so if you dig those boots, I’d bet you’d like the other items on my channel. I’ve noticed these things are all strangely tied together.

Thank you! I've been on the fence about doing ~ 2' lift + All Terrains (that's all I'd do) but I don't want to take away from the stealth/ride quality.

Thank you!

Deal! And thanks so much!

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the love.

@@dominicscaliseI got a LX570 and I agree it is a tank and a joy to drive!

Thanks so much!

Yeah he should.... i love his humour too

ok

I'll not even call the Prado as the new land cruiser 😂 I'll call it the Baby LC or simply call it Prado 150 base on the model numbers

Thanks so much for the love! So happy to be back.

@@dominicscalisepicked up that denim rogue territory supply jacket since I’ve seen you last 😂

@@northeasternflyit’s so great.

Haha thank you so much!

Haha Thanks, Niklas

Thank you! The 100 series is my favorite looking Land Cruiser; I find them so classy. The 06-07s in particular have some upgraded parts the make it a bit more special, including a motor that puts out some extra power from previous years. Those two years carry a premium but will always be sought after because of their rarity.

Thank you! It's good to be back. You got that right! In town gas mileage is laughable, but on the highway it's actually eeked out some decent MPG, at least compared to some other cars I've had. I had an 80 series too! It was a champ.

Thank you! It's good to be back. Really missed y'all.

Thank you!

Haha I love Ferris Bueller. Thanks so much! It’s good to be back :)

Thanks so much for the love, Mike! Means a lot

Man, I’d be so pumped. Thanks for the love!

What a nice thing to say. Thank you. I really appreciate the love.

06/07 with AHC was what I was hunting so hard for. Grail 100 series.

Maybe you have driven the wrong spec non ahc 100 series. You should check out 2007 land cruiser amazon UK spec with rear infotainment and orginal headphones. It has all the bells and whistles. 98k miles for 24 grand. Its also in rare blue color.

I’ve driven 06/07 with and without AHC and I certainly do prefer AHC. The ride quality certainly is good but the 200 series has other creature comforts. My biggest issue is rust, my 2006 has some rust unfortunately. Now that I’m in CA I could easily take care of it and never look back, but the appeal of a low mileage almost-new 200 series as a car for the next 20 years is too high. Also, I’m surprised to hear you say 24K for a 96K mile 2007. More like 35-40K in the US.

I had an 05 LX470 and it was an amazing ride, smooth, quiet, super comfortable. Didn’t think it could get better then I got a 14 LX570 and it was so much better. Then we got a 17 LX but that doesn’t ride as nice as the 2014, most likely because of the bigger wheels and tires it has.

One of my favorite movies

Thank you!

I’m BACK

Thanks for the love! I really appreciate it.

Thanks, man. I really appreciate the love!

I'm BACK. Thanks for the love :)

I said it's good but lacks soul

@@dominicscalise try do adjust settings you will feel the quality

@@joserasak Thanks, I turned off the DSP stuff and that helped. (especially the “surround”. Sounds more natural now.

@@dominicscalise in my case i reduce midles to 50%, put bass on 90% and tweeters on 100%. Sorround on and it work very nice.

100%

They are fantastic. I’m quite sure the final facelift version of the 200 series (yours) is going to be my next car. I just love ‘em.

A subscriber recommended that I turn off all the stereo system “enhancers” which really helped

For u. Done.

Thank you!

Hell yeah. How do you like the 2019 compared to the 2014?

@@dominicscalise There really isn't that much difference other than nicer infotainment software and blind spot monitoring. They are absolute tanks, and will only get more desirable as the last of the V8 Land Cruisers

@@sceinceguy any difference in ride quality or is it identical?

​@dominicscalise I replaced the rear struts at 147k miles on the 2014 due to one of them leaking. The 2014 was a little softer, my 2019 has 78k miles and still drives like new

I had an 80 series too! Do you have a tailgate story?

Thanks, Samuel!

Oh man. I’m ashamed to say I’ve never been - it’s just never been brought up when talking places to go. I think the outside looks rad and I hear the jazz is good. But I couldn’t tell ya about the vibe or the food. Some recs (there is so much good stuff here - this list is missing a ton): - Oddly Correct for coffee - Happy Gillis or Room 39 for brunch - Nelson Atkins, our free art museum, is so good - The Campground is my usual haunt, then Lucky Boys down the street when I want to hop into a dive bar - Green Lady Lounge for jazz (love this place) - Some favorite restaurants for dinner: Grunauer, Antler Room, Campground, or Tiki Taco for something fun and easy.

I do love those. I take it you own one?

Thank you! I really appreciate your saying that. Cheers!

Thank you!

Thanks for the love! Means a lot.

I'm not sure if this is a compliment or not

@@dominicscalise it's a great compliment if you've watched Quentin tarantino movies, they describe things in unique ways and that's what u were doing if you don't realise it, I'm amazed , and impressed, keep it up,

@@luqmxnyonkou5650 Thanks!

I went from an e46 M3 -> G500 -> 2013 LC. Man, I’m over the moon with the LC. I love M3s, and BMW is so considerate with their design choices, but the 200 series Land Cruiser is capable, comfortable, and reliable. The fact that they hold their value so well means you can’t lose.

Random question, what car phone mount do you use?

Yes

@@johnspeed_ I thought I answered this! I have the Peak Design car vent mount. I love it.

IM BACK BABY

Totally. Such a great truck.

Thank you!

Thanks, Martin!

Thanks so much, Erik! I love 4runners - 5th gens look fantastic.

One of my all-time favorite movies. Thanks for the love! Means a lot.

I’m gonna keep this one basically stock.

It's a crime

@@droiddevx03 Projection

@@droiddevx03 I have an LX570 with a split tailgate. I'm smiling.

Thank you!

Nice, what years?

Haha love that

Haha Thank you!

Haha I appreciate the love!

Haha thank you! I really appreciate the love.

Yeah basically the same thing! They are such great trucks. Can't get over how enjoyable it is to daily.

🙏

2013

Haha I love this. Man, I love the 100 series. Probably my favorite looking Land Cruiser.

Mine is a 2013

Looks beautiful

Thank you!
