Toyota Land Cruiser vs Range Rover: OFF-ROAD RACE! 

The landcruiser was on heaps steeper descent in hill descent challenge. In Australia those Rangerovers are all dead in driveways everywhere. The landcruiser's are all still powering on making own tracks anywhere they want.

Centre diff lock is crap. It's a transfer case lock, only supplying equal power to the front and the rear, it's not a diff-lock like people think. It doesn't stop wheelspin, and does f all for traction. Nobody there understands 4x4s, especially Matt. Same tyres, different profiles...what about tyre pressures? The Cruiser will have better ballooning ability (more tyre on the ground) over bumps, especially the rock crawl, than the low profile tyres on the Rangy. Settling an off-road capability test by a drag race? 😔😔 I mean 😔😔 There are many different variables in 4x4s. There's the gearbox, the transfer case, and the finals drive...none of which were taken into consideration in this...drag race or test. When you are away from civilisation, reliability is the main concern, not drag racing. It means nothing in a 4x4 test. Also, the art of off-roading is not as simple as point and shoot. Most take care or their vehicles, and do hill climbs and rock crawls as slowly as possible allowing better control and wheel placement, only gassing it when there are no other options. That rock crawl was a joke. Fancy getting hung up on the centre of the Rangy and on the diff of the Cruiser... 😔😔 Matt might, I say might be able to pick a line on a track, but he's, Nick too, are mentally stunted when it comes to picking lines off-road. I do like Nick, however, he can take a loss on the chin and laugh it away. Yanni thinks he's racing for slips. You get guys...well, you get some guys who can drive for the runs, why not get people who at least understand the basics of a 4x4? I know. It's Matt's show, and if he can't drive a 4x4 for shit, the other driver must equally be as backward... It's funny how there's never a professional driver who wins runs on that strip. It's always Matt or that goof Yanni. This contest is Landcruiser all day, every day. Rangies are a pretty decent 4bi, and even though this one was $2500 or whatever, it does come with a $5000 annual repair bill, more if driven hard like this by people who haven't a clue. The alloy heads on the V8 cannot handle a hot climate, they have a history of warping and blowing gaskets unless they've been 'fixed' to better handle the heat outside of the UK. Toyotas, especially Landcruisers, have a world-wide support network, but rarely need it. Why else do you think Arabs choose them to run all over the desert? I've never seen an Arab in a Range Rover. I wonder why... The Cruiser will never break (okay, they do, but rarely). And, that's what to buy if you want to get involved in this. I've had hands-on experience since the mid 70s so don't give me lip.

These cars doing off road races all sounded epic.

Please do a drag race between Supra mk5 900 hp vs bmw m3 900

I am not selling my car for free

Supra GR also can do this.

Nope. Supra is a z4. It will die after 100000

It’s only just run the engine in

My friend’s dad had a Land Cruiser with 700 000km on the clock. It looked like shit outside and inside but still run great.

and again

Different rims. The Rangy is basically on low profile tyres, and has no ballooning ability like the Cruiser's 70 series tyres or whatever...

but rangie had a drawback coz it was on low profile alloys

​@@bsjddjkthat's factory spec as same for the land cruiser. So pretty fair

@@rexeverything4578humans are hard to satisfy eh? We always complained about how the cars are on different tyres and it isn’t fair. Now Carwow has finally listened and used the same tyres, but now the profiles are different. 😂

@@PrioCaptSend It means a hell of a lot off-road. So you have as much understand of this topic as, say...Matt? Did you read any further into my comment or did you just stop there? If you did, you'd see that I explained the main reason why the profiles and especially pressures make a huge difference in many/most situations off-road. Low profile tyres also can cause rim damage, and that's the last thing you want with alloys. This is why the 4x4 test will always remain unfair. There is no equivalent to hopping in a car and putting your foot down in a straight line. If you don't know what the hell you are talking about, it's better for all if you simply don't talk. 🙄🙄

In reliability, but people know that they suck in everything else.

Facts

Don't be stupid

​@@lostworld5667 it definitely will

It definitely will. There’s a reason why countless NGOs, civil services and so on especially out in the Middle East use land cruisers (cost obviously a big factor). Toyota/Lexus have always been hugely reliable versus the vanity project nonsense that is JLR

Yes but do you want to drive literally any car to 400000 km?

The Toy yes

​@@conor7154 yes

So will the range rover, if you keep fixing it

@@conor7154who doesn’t

and it has 100,000 more mileages than the range rover imagine that crazy hein! 🤣

​@@carholic-sz3qvalso has 125.000 KM more than even Nissan R32GTR.

Don't read my name!

Land Rover guy at the dealer: Is gonna be 15,000 pound to fix the air suspension.

or you can buy 7 land rovers with working suspension 🙂

And front says ANGER lol

#DEAD you are both hilarious lmao

200k? my dad got one that he's still driving since 96, its got 900k, that thing is a rock, worth every dime

na 200k is less my dad has a 667,987m right now on his and it has zero major issues, or any warning lights XD

@@daviddawood3272 its crazy that thats the norm for these cars not the exception, where i live there is a lot of them with old models too going back to the 70s 80s , people still drive them

@@3aster in my country (Pakistan) ppl buy old 2001-2005 models of landcrusier and facelift it to latest 2020-2022models and tbh the conversion models look better then original 2022models + some ppl even change interier to latest ones

The HDC, Air Suspension, and brake fluid sensor warning tells it all for the range rover😂

No, it's not... it's a 12 plate. The range rover is only a 04 plate!! How is that even near equal!!

@@andrewtorrens947 Reread the comment…

​@@andrewtorrens947The Land Cruiser is a 2002 and from a model introduced in 1998

​@andrewtorrens947 watch the video properly, and you can pause and rewind, you know. 😂 02 and 54 plates.

​@@andrewtorrens947 12 is second half of 2002, not 2012

Land Cruiser surprisingly has amazing reliability like Dodge Viper SRT.

Don't read my name!

@@purwantiallan5089 not surprisingly. Its known as rhe most reliable 4x4 in the world

А победил в итоге Рэндж Ровер! Не плачь!!!

oh shut up

@@Ze_Hans Did I hurt your feelings? Would you like a cookie 🍪

@@Blitz9287 He'd rather have a AAA membership for his broke down hooptie range rover...

I thought it was Hilux or Dodge Magnum at first glance.

Richard Hammond also quoted it

@@purwantiallan5089stay off the drugs

Not true. That Range Rover would breakdown before it left city limits.

True..Australian's generally talk rubbish...they go on about a 10 meter sand dune they go up like that's pinnacle 4x4 driving. They haven't been anywhere else so have nothing to compare to. I took one mate to Scotland and he couldn't believe some of the tracks we took him on.

As comfortable as riding on a goat 🐐

definetely not.

☝️☝️ Butt hurt Landrover fanboys.

​@@N1ckZdefinitely is

The same also goes to RAV4 and Chevrolet Blazer Hybrid.

👍

@@AbdullahHassan-gc1sz bro, do you know how to read? Or take a joke? Or perhaps both?

@@AbdullahHassan-gc1sz chill out :D

Very true

@@AbdullahHassan-gc1szi m glad you didn't go 9/11 on him😂😂

The front says "Anger"! Huge fan of that combo

Don't read my name!

I read Fix me more.

Friend had one that read Hangover at the back 😊

Yes!

land cruiser will crush new range rover modern range rover got lot more electronics! while land cruiser is still raw & tough modern range rover is for ppl who want to so hardcore offroading but in a slow & calm way no way it could take a beating like a lc

We definitely need that

​@@bsjddjkthe new turbo V6 in the LC300 isn't that reliable

​@@bachhunghoang yeah but still beats range rover in reliability all day 😂😂

Unkess you drive an XJ, i fully agree. More about having controll, then flying thru and destroying you car😂

Completely agree, this is just driving like a yob

they should've put point deduction for everything that is not working after the race LOL

Ikr 😂 here in Fiji that same exact model can go for double or triple the price he mentioned 😢

I got me a lexus lx470 for just 10k.

In Portugal 🇵🇹 they are selling around 15K to 20K

why are used cars so cheap in the UK?

Sold my 2000 V8 for 5,000 dollars 325k miles glad to see it go. Traded for 2005 discovery 3 HSE HD. No comparison love air suspension 235k miles going strong. Always in the desert or dunes.

Land Cruiser 100 still pretty good even after 1million KM driving.

Yeah and try to get a rangey fixed out I the bush

mine has over 440k miles on it. Eats gas but it runs like a watch.

They are everywhere because the choice of trucks in Australia was almost completely limited to Japan until the 2000's.

​@@marcooconnorYou've obviously never been to Australia.

You salty😂

He’s actually right. Points system is biased.

The fun thing is that none of that actually matters and you can see very clearly which one is actually the better vehicle

They should've had each driver use each vehicle twice, and the RR would've gotten through if they used the air suspension after the pump cooled, this is common for air suspension vehicles and is just user error. A tug of war in the mud would be a better tie breaker.

Stop sulking RANGE ROVERS FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you must be so agresive with your engine mate 😂

New engine and bro acts like this is a win 😂😂😂

but u should also look at the fact that range rover did it with those low profile alloys & air suspension problem

​@@bsjddjkThose off road cars doing drag races makes me remember something from TEST DRIVE OFF ROAD 3.

@@bsjddjk unreliable junk

@@bsjddjkthe Land Cruiser did it with a 50 hp deficit

That's not how races work.

It truly is the peasant's chariot.

I will choose the Range Rover until the end of time. I couldn't care less about its reliability. if you take care of it, buy genuine land rover parts and service it at a main dealer, it can last a really long time. I woiuld never buy a Toyota. Ever.

@@N1ckZwhy not? Prejudice?

@@N1ckZ Couldn't care less about reliability? Good, I'll enjoy reading about how you perished out in the desert because your vehicle died on you.

@@X50505 Anything wrong with that?

My family has the Lexus version of that car just as a backup car and everything still works, it’s incredible. It’s still very nice inside too.

​@@conor7154 Toyota and Lexus are like brothers, I would be happy with either

Pretty much every Toyota

That's why Toyota has the most sales and is the most profitable car manufacturer

Toyota is not a luxury brand thats the main reason any luxury brand cant do it ​@@Alirezarz62

I’m glad that some notices this. This is actually funny

Fond memories of an ancient and rusting Mk1 Range Rover in Saudi Arabia in the late 1980s where the letters on the front had been cleverly altered to spell 'HANG OVER' 🙂

Ah, another Kenyan. And he’s knowledgeable, I don’t know why they don’t know that LCs don’t have air ride

MGC has the best Land cruiser content on the internet with your Cygnus, been following for the past 3 years. 🔥

@@devmike7890 thank you 🙏🏼

In my country it's 4x the price it's pretty much expensive

Even in the good ol' USA, that Land Rover would have gone for probably closer to $8-10k, maybe even more. $5k is insanely good value for money.

Matt is biased. He really tried to get out to a good end that Rover no matter what. Toyota had 0 errors, even with 100k more miles, and could do twice, meanwhile Range Rover is almost destroyed.

British car and a British man what do you think the outcome will be...

⁠​⁠@@robertczimmerman3774Matt is definitely not biased towards Land Rover, have you seen his comparison videos? The reason the air suspension and HDC kicked off suddenly is more than likely due to a poor/low running battery, and if you know Range Rovers, you’ll know it’s common knowledge to not cheap out on batteries as they have loads of electronics, if the air suspension was up and the diff was locked it would’ve swept the rock crawl easily as it has no rear solid axle for it catch on like the LC did, also the L322 was hardly destroyed, especially when you consider it was bought for less than 50% of what was paid for the LC, nicer examples fetch more and it’s common to see L322’s at high mileage.

Interesting to note that the recent pickup battle, both the Isuzu and Hilux made it across that without issue. The 35" tyres probably helped to be fair...

12:00. IF they finish. So it doesn’t matter if they finish. The car that went the furthest got the most points or which did it the fastest.

That is a glorious scene

They hired a camera man from Hollywood

Land Cruiser also recommended to use by many driving it.

You're absolutely right, mate!

What other choice do you have? Besides have a Land Cruiser tow the Land Rover back.

Don't read my name!

@@kellstat Nissan Patrol

@@1corinthians15.1-4kjv the only problem with Nissan as a whole, and sadly the Patrol as well, is they have not manufactured any good ones for approaching decades now. The old school, I think y61/y62's are some of the best, but Nissan dropped the ball a long time ago, and not sure they will ever recover.

And au falcon

Jeep?

And a Land Rover, a proper one, also Isuzu.

No way thats a grown ass man yelling like that

Land Cruiser along with Nissan Xterra also.

Yet while that LC driver will go home alone in a boring trip, the Land Rover one will make a lot of new friends, like the people who were sympathetic with him, the one who borrowed him the phone to call for the help, the wreckers drivers and others from the Land Rovers community. Lots of new stories to tell the grandsons. 🥳🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@paulog8813yes and also empty your wallet 😂

@@paulog8813 No one wants to make friends with the owner of a broken vehicle, paul. Keep coping.

Wrong the land cruiser would get stuck where the land rover didn't 😂. And I'm on about an defender not a rangy. You can't beat a land rover offroad. Yes land cruiser may be more reliable but defenders aren't that unreliable and are super easy to fix and will hold their value better than a Toyota. I still like toyotas tho

while toyota will always be boring workmans tool

​@@Ze_Hanscrazy expensive tool

Agreed, this gen of off-roaders is the best

​@@sebastianguerra343imagine if we got off road battle between Land Cruiser vs Citroen C4 WRC.

Are you serious? The land rover broke on the track! What're you talking about? The Toyota is better in every way

@@smh1245100% - Land Rover’s are beautiful and initially impressive, but one the least reliable vehicles. If actually using the vehicle off road, it’s the Toyota.

Treads are identical, but side wall the LC has more of it.

They do it for the views and comments. Land Rovers are really awesome vehicles when maintained properly or you don’t have a bad example. Just like other brands

and they're all brits

With the Land cruiser presented at the time, you can even use a Prius and slap a "Recovery vehicle" badge on it and everyone gets home at the end of the day.

VS new EV G-Class that dies after first race.

The new RR will break down in the middle of the race against the new LC
