The New Toyota Land Cruiser is Better than I Thought It Would Be

Toyota nailed it with this new Land Cruiser. It's the right size. It has proper style. And it's priced at a point that makes sense compared to the competition both internally and from other automakers. I'm officially a fan of this thing...

I just got the exact same vehicle. After 1k miles I am 100% impressed. Way more than I thought. I have had them all but this is by far my favorite so far. I have had the older Land Cruiser 200, 4Runners and sequoias. Love the power, tech and comfort so far.

@Solacer8 Месяц назад

I love how it’s front bumper is divided into like 5 pieces. If you ever get caught in a car crash then no need to replace whole bumper. Same with rear bumper, no need to repaint vehicle if we get rear ended.

@UnsightedADV Месяц назад

I guess the flip side of that is if its a big hit you get to buy 5 different sections at whatever price toyota wants to charge you lol

@xeontis Месяц назад

There's 1 electric motor in between the engine and transmission. The premium package on the LC gives you all the first edition gadgets except rock sliders, roof rack, thicker skid plantes and mud flaps. Love my LC w/premium pkg

Here in South Africa, we get this with a diesel engine. It's very good in fuel and has heaps of torque from very low rpm's. Awesome vehicle 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@bigseff23 Месяц назад

I sat in the other day. It was small and cheap on the inside. Way overpriced for what you get. 4runner is a better option for cheaper lol

@quincyjones725 Месяц назад

I 100% appreciate the tire rant. Toyota has been doing this for forever to its trucks. My 4runner TRD Off Road came with those same style tires. And I just dont have it in me to just go straight to the tire shop and replace them. It's such a waste of money. Just give the option to put All Terrains on anything with a ladder frame. Especially if it says Off-Road in the trim level. PS: BFG's are goated. Any argument otherwise is just for the sake of arguing.

I think the LC200 will go down as a legend, especially now that early LC’s and LX’s are so cheap. That being said the LC250 is a good platform. It’s not perfect (battery placement wtf) and some people will dismiss it as a Prado, but it’s a solid rig and it looks pretty handsome.

@ALMX5DP Месяц назад

What do you mean dismiss it as a Prado? I think in some countries this is named as such. It’s not a knock to call it a Prado either IMO.

@floofy117 Месяц назад

It is never dismissed as a prado. There's nothing wrong with Prados, the rest of the world loves them.

@stevenfeffer2391 Месяц назад

Battery placement in the rear makes it 50/50 weight distribution. I love mine

This is a fantastic SUV but I’d rather get a Lexus GX550 Overtrail for a little more money, the new 4Runner coming out soon is also a great option for less money than the LC/GX

@gideonighodalo3476 Месяц назад

You're right 🙂

@SethHalstead Месяц назад

I would suspect the initial brake weirdness is probably related to regen for the hybrid system.

@TheHooniverse Месяц назад

That’s a good point and it’s dumb I didn’t think of it

@SethHalstead Месяц назад

Well, I have the GX550 Overtrail, and the brakes on that are just amazing with nothing weird, so I figured that was the most likely difference.

@mattbowen9751 Месяц назад

There are no regenerative breaks on this car - the hybrid system in this model charges as part of the powertrain not the breaking system, I believe

@mattbowen9751 Месяц назад

I could be wrong - I thought the electric motor generator (between ICE and trans) did all the battery charging … upon further review it could be that the rear brakes charge … I work for Toyota but I am not a mechanic.

@TheHooniverse Месяц назад

It's interesting but sad it's so confusing, wish Toyota could clear it all up - Based on the sticker on the door of this one plus the published curb weight, my numbers are correct. BUT based on actual owner findings, it appears maybe that's not the case.

@TheHooniverse Месяц назад

In terms of capability? Yes, between the underbody protection, locking differentials, and disconnecting front stabilizer bar, it’s leaps and bounds ahead of a Yukon for off road work. Also the size is much better on trails.

@freedompanda9438 Месяц назад

Appreciate the video & work you put into it. 👍🏼 But the issue with the new 4 cyl turbo’d Toyotas isn’t the “fresh out of the box” performance, it’s the longevity.

@TheHooniverse Месяц назад

Maybe on the turbo side, but the hybrid side I have zero worries - Toyota is one of the automakers with literal MILLIONS of miles on hybrid powertrains. And back to the turbo side, most automakers have figured out small turbos by now. Honestly, I think we're good there... and I hope those words don't bite me in the butt, haha.

@user-qq8jn5bb4m Месяц назад

Not a fan of the stepped rear window, looks odd. Rear wiper needs to be positioned right to close top window hatch 😏 Front window way to steep. Gonna keep my 2012 Prado 3.0 Tdiesel for the foreseeable futures. Best of the last 😉

@thelandcruiserproject Месяц назад

Regarding payload, please don't parrot the incorrect specs from Toyota. The website and press sheets are wrong. Owners have already taken their 250 on the scales and it comes out at around 5,560 lbs. That puts payload at 1,200 lbs (or so) max.

@ALMX5DP Месяц назад

Jeff said GVWR is 6835lbs for the model he is driving, subtracting the claim of 5560 means a payload of about 1275.

@thelandcruiserproject Месяц назад

@@ALMX5DP You see the issue, but why are you busting my balls about 75 lbs? The GVWR is what it is on the sticker and we all agree to that, but Jeff said curb weight is 5,038 lbs - which isn't true. So instead of the bulky 1,800 lbs of payload he says it has, based on Toyota's wrong figure, it actually has the 1,275 or so you agree with me on.

@ALMX5DP Месяц назад

@@thelandcruiserproject no ball busting, just providing the calculation based on what you and Jeff said. I’m sure there will be different weights depending on spec or trim. Many different vehicle makes and models operate similarly.

@TheHooniverse Месяц назад

I can only go off the numbers I see. But if owners are doing actual weighing that’s pretty damn important so that’s good info.

@thelandcruiserproject Месяц назад

@@TheHooniverseYou're right. And shame on Toyota. The official specs online still show 36" of headroom for the LC, but 42" for the moonroof-less GX. The 36" is less headroom than a bz4x.
