Which I$ The Better Choice? 2025 Toyota 4Runner vs 2024 Land Cruiser 

LC looks better looking, but 4Runner is all the way to go. I love 4Runner tire

Why you aren’t talking about the plethora of problems Toyota os having with quality control and power train 🤔 you should be telling/informing people since you are a Toyota guy at heart 😒

I was thinking the same thing! 😅

Can't wait to get one in 5 years as a used car 😂

@@user-pp1jl1pc4xToyota fanboys are crazy. Expect to pay 50k for a used one

@@user-pp1jl1pc4x in 5 years its still going to be $70k used, all you'll get is 100k+ miles engine wear.

Will do man!!!!! Thank you for the continued support. I appreciate it.

ikr. they went absolutely bonkers. I don't buy it's just because of inflation or whatever, they are really expensive and sadly people will still buy them using credit.

That doesn't make sense to me. You can get a Sequoia for nearly the same price

The last Land Cruiser was $90,000🤷‍♂

​@user-jd9bu1oe8g much better than the actual model

actually the premium is the cheapest

good luck getting one at MSRP for 70k....they are selling now in Calif at 20-30k mark up per and are sold as soon as they hit the lot at that price of 90-100k

Lexus vs Toyota maintenance cost comparison?

⁠@@fseb233 My local Lexus dealer in Texas is selling them at MSRP. I actually spoke with a salesman at that dealership and they never markup any of their vehicles. That may be an anomaly, but it’s out there.

​@cactuscanine3531 honestly, if your dropping 70k on a car, maintenence costs are not really a concern. Also, its toyota. Their costs will be almost the same.

Agreed, and after decades of driving part-time 4wd, I would like full time 4wd for snow country

It's highly unlikely the 4runner is not refined then either the LC250 or the GX550. Yes the 4runner has 9 avalible trims and likely will be much easier to modify especially sharing so much DNA with the Tacoma.

My sentiments exactly. 👍🏼

refined daily driver...you might as well get an Acura MDX elite or Type-S for literally the same price as an LC. LC has no purpose other than the 4WD, everything else its inferior to an MDX...They are gouging Toyota loyalists because anyone not loyal to the brand can see there are better alternatives elsewhere. I'll stick to Honda products, I don't need a top of the class 4WD, most people don't.

@PWCDN you lost everyone comparing an MDX to a LC250. Completely irrelevant comments

Great time!

I’ve liked the lasfit ones I’ve had in mine.

Less capable

@@JStryker7 more with the off road package with kdss. New generation doesn’t have it.

@@nordlandak6853 the new LC 250 performed extremely well without it in the car and driver test

@@JStryker7 I’ve rather have it and 15k difference in price. But each his own.

@@JStryker7 if you think that new four-cylinder is going to be more capable, I got a bridge to sell you😂 you will get stuck with that pig on the trail, struggling to get its fat self out in the ditch

The 1958 is the LC to buy imo. It has a lot of nice features without the price tag of the luxury bells and whistles. Reminds me of the TRD Rock Warrior and the early TRD pros

you rich fk

Imagine being glad of paying for a 2024 car released in 2009 with a 5 speed 80s transmission and an extremely outdated interior hahaha Imagine being this du mb

I bought 2023 definitely not dumb this guy super GAF. So reliability wise I get it. That 5 speed transmission and 4.0 V6 are bullet proof this guy must no nothing about 4 Runners. Although we really don't know how these 2025 Hybrids will hold up, I think I'll buy one just for MPGs alone. All the updates and more power might be worth it until everything brakes after the warranty is up and I'm wishing I still had the 2023...

@@Rapido20 Lol agreed. Atrocious gas mileage, old ass 5 speed 4.0. Basically the same 4Runner as 2010 but paying 2024 prices. 👎 But it's reliable!!!

@@Rapido20 this Toyota mechanic here disagrees. the new ones have recall nightmares currently, HE ISNT DUMB😂 The only dumb ones are the ones that pay that much for junk rather than the proven drivetrain that goes 300k miles and more🤡 THANK YOU FOR KEEPING ME EMPLOYED THOUGH.😂 That old transmission will last longer on that older durable design vs the new one. FACTS ARE FACTS. He will be waving and driving by while the new one sits at the shop with me trying to figure out the new junk they come out with😂 Seriously the 90s was the peak of automotive mechanics, im sorry kids today can’t understand but there is reason why 90s toyotas STILL RUN TODAY!!!!😂 LIFE IS BETTER WITH NO WORRIES

Just got mine this weekend. Quicksand let’s go !

Ha. 👍🤪🏳️‍🌈

Also overpriced.

Agree. Fifth gen will be the next “ 80 series” desired vehicle…. Jmho.keeping my 22 TRD pro! No plans to change that

That outdated and overpriced as well

Most 4Runners are pavement princesses…

I don't think boys can afford a 70K truck. Or most men for that matter

@@thadlm2698most SUVs are these days lmao

@@MaddNomad1015 That is also correct.

I sat in a new 58 Edition LC hours after it landed at the local dealer. Leg room was ample and head room was massive-way way better than my 04 V8 4Rnr; note the height of the LC is over 4 inches higher than the 4Rnr and the ground clearance in the 4Rnr is about 1/2 inch higher than the LC-equating to a 5 inch+ net delta in favor of the LC cabin over the 4Rnr cabin-so if you are worried about leg room and headroom go for the LC.

I wish

Enjoy!

Both are grossly overpriced. Both will sit on dealer lots hopefully… I think we are almost hitting critical mass and now even the dumb people refuse to pay these prices…despite fanboy not hitting toyota for trying to rip people off

@@Wellh0wrya they aren’t overpriced, they are worth every penny. What other vehicles in this class have 320 hp and get 25 mpg.

@@thomas735 u are deranged!

@@thomas735 u are a couple cans short of a 6 pack

@@Wellh0wrya you got to get used to nothing being cheap anymore.

Full time 4WD is hard to beat.

Any links? Would like to see those videos, have been looking

@@AllenKrughoff car and driver did one recently. I believe I’ve also seen comparisons with the chassis and that it’s very close if not the same as the 300 series. This LC250 is one of, if not the closest the prado has been to the big LC. While the new 4Runner is on the same platform, I’m not sure it has the same beefy chassis.

@@JStryker7 would love to see it if you can dig it up, would make me feel even better about the LC250

Your first mistake is comparing Jeep to Toyota. LC250, 4runner, and GX550 all similar but they all with feel very diffent

@@NorthweSteelheadJunkies I did not compare Jeep to Toyota so that is not a mistake. This video is about the 4runner and landcruiser not any of those lexus offerings. I am sure i will make a bunch of mistakes today but none were made here. Enjoy your weekend 👍🏼.

Lets go!

I’m 100% with you on the full-time AWD, my understanding is the 4Runner Limited will continue with this, as it has in the past.

As mentioned, the 4R will have full time 4wd for the platinum model and I believe Limited as well.

@@TRDJon yes but if it doesn’t have the lockers like the Land Cruiser, same as the current gen, it’s not really comparable.

You didn't mention center and rear lockers in your comment so thats why I mentioned that.

The GX will be soon! Maybe next year?

@@TRDJon Yeah, I've been reading up on that. That's longer than I'm willing to wait, due to upcoming plans. So, LC it is! :)

Heck ya man!

They are similar with the 4R beating out the LC just by a little.

4R 6th gen has 9.2 inches of ground clearance compared to the LC w/ 8 inches. 5th gen 4R pro has 9.6 inches

Who cares how many cylinders it has? The 4 cyl has way more power than outgoing v6.

Fair enough! Thanks dude!

We want your 70s series. Trade?????

That would be insane!

4runners creep to 70 so not sure they are way better value

wireless chargers in general are just about convenience right now. They all suck. theyll do when you are in a pinch though. I've seen some third party 15w+ wireless chargers that look factory but ah, i still wouldnt put my money on them for real use.

4R looked like it did

Reveal reminded me of the reveal of Homer Simpson's car.

@@jwlafferty🤣

I believe so

It was a fog light issue. same with mind
