We MAX OUT The Toyota Land Cruiser TFL Pro To See If It Tows! | TFLpro S.1 Ep.6 

Was going to suggest the exact same.

"smart one" You must have missed the point of all this. It is their version of a factory TRD LC.(if Toyota were to make a TRD LC)

@@WW-wf8tu Actually that is a TRD product. It was pulled by Toyota in 2015 as too many were installing them affecting their CAFE numbers. Still sold by Magnuson.

Yes, for the price of the LC it should have it from the factory!

Not a fan of twin turbo?

Mark Ryl-Kuchar i’m sure any car will drink a lot of fuel when towed to the max

@@Datsun7705 But the LC will consume more fuel regardless. Even when not towing.

Ibraheem Al hadede so? u buy a big heavy vehicle and expect it to get good gas mileage? no, all big vehicles will use a lot of fuel regardless. ppl who buy big vehicles and expect it to get good gas mileage are dumb

@@Datsun7705 That's not what I meant. What I meant was the LC will consume more fuel weather it's cruising in the highways or towing than the Chevy suburban even the older generations. And the Chevy engines will last longer. I know because we have Landcruiser's everywhere here in the middle east.

Ibraheem Al hadede Older chevys i agree but the new ones with cylinder deactivation and auto start stop, i’ll doubt that it’ll last longer since it’s constantly starting and stopping that wears the engine quicker

Doctor Nick 🤣🤣🤣

Thommy.

My 2000 Ford Expedition has 169,900 Miles.

And it is parked permanently in a field ..

Still more reliable then a new domestic SUV

@@beemrmem3 Bullshit

@@cammedls3532 Not even a little bit

@@sansfreedom1629 If that includes diesel pickups most definitely not. This isn't the 70s, *most domestic brands are pretty damn good. Excluding fca, the rest have always served me well. My dads 2007 highway patrol Tahoe was turned in last year with 188,000 very hard miles, thing never skipped a beat. Motor and tyranny was as smooth then as when it was new. Hell,the interior was decent as well, definitely better than a Toyota's interior, they never seem to hold together.

Cammed LS Yeah agreed, pre 2008 Chevys were some of the best bang for your buck trucks. Once they started adding cylinder deactivation and computerizing everything they quickly fell far behind Toyota in terms of longevity.

Lol I have a 2016 Silverado on its 3rd engine, 80k miles.

@@fopm008 sounds like a personal problem to me. My trucks last forever with nothing but fluid and filter changes.

@@TheDaltonmichaels I have a whole fleet, 23 oldest being a 2013, and they all have the same issues. Radiators every year, transmission every 80k, engines normally around 150k, electrical issues constantly.

@@fopm008 that's cool. not my experience.

@@TheDaltonmichaels well yeah, you only have one and I have many. I have more experience lmfao

The way it was clacking, those tires are the least of the new owner's concerns.

We have them in all Latinoamerica too

They have had issues. Injectors only last 100,000km. Cost 8 grand AUD to replace. LH turbo dies at the same milage. The air filter system is junk and they suck dust and the engine dies. You have to remove the engine to replace the starter motor. You don't want them, trust me.

Aussie Farmer not to mention the VD engine can have a severe “dusting” problems.

Ya, but for a f-150 that's kinda alot

Does that mean I can get a 2011 toyota Avalon without worrying?

XxSilver_ GamingxX don’t know about the larger vehicles but corollas and civics are pretty damn reliable even at 200k

Yup, more torque= more tow. More power means more speed and handling.

Engineered to fail. That is the whole principle behind the leasing idea. The idea being that because most people are changing cars after two or three years and don’t need that sort of dependability makes it easier to build a car that will be dead after a few years

Trust me, they still are. The only unreliable ones are the CLA, C, and the GLC - the cheapest ones. My SL's have all been bulletproof.

Keon R. Why would i trust you when your profile pic is bmw? Hmmm

sothickitssickk its a skyline ..

@@sothickitssickk It's a Nissan Skyline, jackass.

@@keon5779 For a minute, it looked like an older BMW so you being rude for nothing won't take you anywhere.

I drive a Hummer. My top speed is 65mph and I can say without a doubt that if you aren't keeping up with traffic you ARE being dangerous unless you're a giant truck. Even in the slow lane.

Tad P - to each their own I guess. I have yet to see a dangerous situation occur around me excepting when some idiot flys up on me with his phone in hand and head down reading the phone, instead of driving responsibly. That is not caused by me, that is caused by the idiot behind me. Why do you only drive 65 if you think you are a danger on the road? Baffling.

You don't see it, because you're oblivious to the stack-up of traffic behind you.... As someone gets slowed down in the right lane behind you, they eventually have to pull out to pass your slow ass. The time it takes to get up to speed causes someone behind THEM in the passing lane to have to slow down, too. Long story short, you're creating a cloud of dangerous blockage that follows you down the interstate. There have been times where I've been stuck behind 30+ vehicles all jockeying slower and faster, slower and faster (dangerously so, changing speeds by 30mph or more), all to find out the SOLE reason for it is some very slow vehicle in the right lane that's causing a rolling half-highway barricade that everyone is trying to get around. Long story short, keep up with traffic. Speed doesn't kill -- Speed differentials do.

So the driver was killed because he was distracted because he was texting and driving not because of speed.

Ricky C - I see it, I am a very aware driver. That is also why I call it a gong show due to all the people, you even confirm are jockeying for position etc. The thing as a former member of law enforcement and having many friends still in law enforcement, the accidents that occur are never the fault of the slow vehicle. The rare occasion it is the slower vehicle’s fault is due to them swerving lanes to block 1, or every vehicle behind, the idiots that brake check them because they are “going to show them!” It is not illegal to go slower than you feel safe on the highway. The speed limit of 70 mph, for example, is the top “limit” as to how fast you are to travel on the highways. There are also freeways where there are no vehicles allowed under 40 mph. If they are doing 50 mph, they are legal, as long as they stay in the right lane and don’t intentionally obstruct traffic. Like I said, don’t listen to those that say driving slower causes accidents, it is a myth. The accidents occur because those that are behind them drive irresponsibly and cause the accidents, not the slow vehicle. The slower vehicle is following the law. Period. It is those that drive like jerks having to be at the supposed front of the line, have to do exactly 70 mph, because that is what it says (which is incorrect) are too important to recognize that they are not the only vehicle on the highway/freeway going somewhere. How can it be exactly 70 mph? No two vehicles register the exact same speed, there can always be a variance from one to the next in the speedometers. If I were on ANY freeway and drove the exact speed limit posted as per GPS, for example, I can legally drive in the left hand lane in North America. I don’t have to get over, I don’t have to do anything but set the cruise and go. That is because the speed limit is exactly 70 mph and no one else is driving any other speed thus no congestion. If only it was that easy. Even if there are varying speeds like the real world, I don’t have to get over for faster traffic. The speed limit is 70 mph, I should already be the fastest moving vehicle on the highway. I only need to get over if I am doing less than 70 mph. Cool!

SC14 I’m guessing your the sort of person that’d say get a Lexus, miles better.... Because of emissions, you guys don’t get the 4.5l V8 turbo diesel the rest of the world gets. Look up the 79 series Cruiser that Australia and New Zealand get. Same engine in our 200 series LC

@@Crashryding have had 100 and the 200. I'm over here in America and with the ways our motorways are, and towing at 115-130kph to get anywhere, the LC isn't great for towing relative to what else is out there in the pickup truck market. And yes I know what a 79 Series is, while it is an amazing vehicle, a 79 as a dedicated tow rig would wear me out quick and make me deaf.

I agree that the LC200 is certainly capable of towing (boat trailer that pushes 6000 fully loaded), but would not be my first choice if I towed regularly. The short wheelbase (vs a pick-up) is an issue, but I have not had a problem with my trailer, but then I don’t really tow often at all. Since the LC gets crappy mileage with no trailer, you can imagine the mileage with a trailer! The size of the fuel tank seems to be the one oversight that I’ve identified, but I’m not quite a year in. Nice to have the capability, but towing is definitely not the reason to buy an LC.

@@anthonymrskipt9252 100% with you on that. My experience with 100 and 200, I'd get about 160-200 miles per tank before needing to fill up again. Motor and drivetrain are stout, more so than a lot of 1500 series pickups, but 192" wheelbase is where it falls short but is nice on the trail.

SC14 - interesting to see the test, though. I actually was wondering how they’d do with an off-road trailer. That’d be an interesting test!

Why not buy a real truck that already has power

supercharging will just end it's life that much quicker.... Turning it from a low power TRD to a high power soon to be broken TuRD. I would just leave it alone, will be more reliable if you do...

thudtheace there are some pretty high mileage examples of supercharged tundras. Toyota is pretty conservative. I’m not saying crank it up. The oem trd product with oem tuning should be pretty reliable as most Toyota products tend to be.

DWB it’s for deep water crossings

Yeah generally, but Toyota does not even claim it is for that purpose. They need a whole lot more than that for deep water running. Can’t remember the install exactly, but I don’t think that is even sealed to the intake.

@@Crashryding Exactly. How else are they gonna get to Japan when mother ship calls them home.

I personally like that snorkel 🤿

No, they are the affordable classic car choice.

when Ford releases them... lol

L W August

Asphalt8ficionado Lol 😂🤙good one

snomass1 👍

You don't wanna know

doesnt matter who makes it. after 20 years stuff is just old and going to break.(its not a model T) if you plan on driving alot in those twenty years a Toyota makes sense but if you drive 1000 miles a year then not so much

D B because it is pronounced Mur-kay-deez.

I'd say the value is probably comparable to before the mods, however you would be selling to a much narrower audience, so it might take longer to find a buyer.

@@RyanRKJ One quarter panel has to be replaced just to get it back to factory specs, they definitely decreased the value.

Consider the RU-vid revenue it’s brought to TFL. Damn I’m in the wrong business!

Why? Overdrive is just another gear. They had it in tow/haul.

@@beemrmem3 Land cruiser doesn't have tow haul mode. It has a power button which holds the gear longer. Also my truck has an over drive button which has to be switched off when towing .
