Which V8 Tows Better - An Overland-Ready Toyota Land Cruiser Or a Built Land Rover LR3? 

You are right, they should compare stock to stock

People love to knock Land Rover, I've had no issues with mine either .

@@carlpearce2252 I’m at 170k miles on my lr3, it’s been more reliable than my Honda and my Honda never went to 11k feet off road or Death Valley.

LR4 isn't too different. The LC100 tows pretty well and in my opinion it feels more stable than the LC200.

Exactly, the 200 series wasn't out when the LR3 was new. The LR4 was the one to compare which has way more power plus the stupid remarks about reliability showed his bias.

@@CACressida the 100 series are so solid that the people who talks smack probably never drove one or own one . The land cruiser wraps around the lr3 in price after a few years because it’s that much better . No one wants a shit box rover after 4 years . When we go over landing it’s always the rover that falls apart . The lc and pajero and keeps takes it ahead !

You're, right it isn't activated. Like, mine came from the factory towing package and if you go in the car config file, you have to enable tow hitch installed to enable otherwise it won't recognize trailers and you lose all the trailer controls. Also, I too have the quick release hitch that came with it and like you said, it got left in there so now it's rusted and I may have accidentally smash the plastics hitch lock thing. Also to fix the led issue I put relays in my lr3 trailer wiring behind the tailight

This issue is one of the reasons it is usually a good idea to place a block under the jack. Another reason being there’s less cranking to do.

@@jamesbeaman6337 It is true, but it was amusing. 😁

You’re funny ass hell , you must like to fix a piece of shit all the time .

@@backinthedaybmx7940 it looks nicer imo and the interior is way nicer it’s a bit better off road and much better on road than the Toyota so yes I would definitely have it over the land cruiser

@@lbnewell23the way it look is a opinion but the way it preform is far a lesser off road rig . There’s no way in the world can the rover compare to a cruiser . I’m a real overlander and I can honestly tell you that it takes a reliable suv to be a real overland suv . Therefore the rover is not a good suv . I bet if you realized the rover is a Asian made suv now , you’ll be even more biased .

@@backinthedaybmx7940 I’m quite confused about you mentioning that JLR is owned by an Indian company, not sure what relevance that has. I never said I’d take the land rover because it’s a better overlander I just said I’d take the land rover because I’d rather use it day to day

Yes these guys don’t know one thing about off road . I choose the lc and pajero over anything rover .

Approx01 It was 5 pm and nearly evening.

@@Agent.K. I posted right after the video was live on youtube, around 6 this morning. I work nights and am usually up all night. The videos usually show up between 4 and 6AM. I'm not complaining!

Their brains havn't woke up yet !!

That’s why the lc cost triple the price of a rover after 7 years old

This is un believable yet true,

That’s hell of a truck !

V8 tt that is . California needs to fall off the earth !

Ive got one, and your right. Best car ever

I agree!!! Toyota should bring their diesel to the United States.

Considering they sold less than 3000 in 19 and rumour is the LC will be pulled from the US it’s unlikely. Cost of fuel here you need a bowser to tow behind you to run those V8s, thankfully we have the V8 4.5 TT and 70s 4.5TD

Most Americans agree with you and would sacrifice certain children and/or non-vital body parts to get some real Land Cruisers here.

Ben Williams is Great!!! But is not Aussie Only Edition, in Costa Rica we have the twin turbo diesel V8 200 too. Cheers mate 👍🏻

South africa has the same engine

SORRY its going to be a 6 cylinder haha

Ahmed Moosaji don’t rub it in lol

I live in Australia and my diesel discovery 3 will drag a Toyota V8 diesel !!

@@chaquisa1 while that is true The land cruiser is much heavier Besides the engine is detuned by Toyota for reliability, but they have lots of potential and can make atleast 400hp and 1000nm relaibily, only Toyot a is way to conservative

@@AHMEDMOOSAJI the lr3 and lc are tbe same weight.and lr have motors in later models in excess of 600 hp

they would eat the LC!!

not everone is having issues with their land rover its just the reality because there is more problems with land rovers compare to land cruisers, you can see it on resale prices, i see alot of russian videos where they convert range rover/land rover, gwagen, porsche cayenne to the toyota 3uzfe v8 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h7B_oYVs4zU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AfYS2zqsrRM.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_9cJA2CzcCA.html

mo power baby!!...

@@benwilliams949 That LR was never designed as a competitor to the 200, do yourself a favour and ride in a SDV8 RR,, there is no competitor to this anywhere,

Well this is America so Toyota doesn’t give us the cool stuff 😢

Jealous because you can't afford to move up to a Discovery.😂😂😂

@I know you are right, And I just got owned but: your dum

Yeah, that's why the LR3 was considered it the best heavy towing vehicle in its day lol: www.thetowcarawards.com/tow-car/land-rover-discovery-3/

@@therealSIRBOOM thanks. I thought somehow in that direction but wasn't quite sure.

You mean like making tow hitches optional. . .or selling cars that have no tow rating? They both already exist.

@@donkehmcdonkey3703 OK Thank you.

UK limit for Disco is 3.5 tonnes but Europe has Gross Train Weight limits which don't always compute to overseas markets.

Yea they can only share so much since they are not the same vehicle. They also share the rear axle and the engine. The Sequoia also shares a lot with them. Front suspension/axle, engine and interior parts. The Tundra and Sequoia also share the Transmission. However, the Sequoia is the only one with IRS.

dangerousmythbuster ahaha 😂😂💯👍 So True

So what do you drive now?

@@fredbrackely Toyota Camry Hybrid , Mazda cx5 and an Mazda Rx8 R3 . the mazda's are not reliable like Toyota but they drive very well, alot better than a landrover though 😂. I am looking for another series 80 Landcruiser and should have one soon.

If they were so good why did you sell them ?

I tow very regularly with our Sequoia. It has rear air suspension and it works flawlessly. We tow an almost 7000lb trailer with 4 kids and our dog. We pretty much max the GVW but the beast doesn't complain one bit! The air springs with IRS and adjustable shocks make for a quality ride loaded or empty. I would imagine the LX would be a little nicer when towing given the 8 speed transmission. Never had to opportunity to drive one so not sure what the hydraulic suspension is like.

What!!!! they are twice as strong those ZF trans than Toyota which are crap!!

@@chaquisa1 No, they will fail from excessive wear of the clutch packs if you dont replace the fluid at regular intervals (sealed for life is a hoax) and if heavy towing in normal drive mode. A landrover specialist advised me to use sport mode when towing as it applies greater clamping pressure to the clutch packs. Even still, mine requires a re-build now, I did all the right things but evidently the previous owner didn't.

@@noelwhittle7922 My LR3 has done 400,00 towed heavy weights since i bought it . I have never Changed the oil in by ZF only renewed the filter at serivce intervals it is definately NOT a hoax Lol That is it in a nut shell !! y LR3 is a diesel by the way

they are both 4x4 with very powerful engines they even have diesel engines, even the land cruiser diesel engine iss still biger than the land rover diesel so.....

short answer...no.

No .. it's not!!

Why worry about a lift it can clear 12" now then some with the air suspension extended mode

My money is on the LR, I own an lr3 it’s a tank

Yes. Left rear brake light

It's because they have it in off-road height by tricking the sensors into thinking they're at normal height.

Zachary Solomon I ran my truck with rods for years. It does make the ride a little stiffer, but I feel like having shocks that are shot affected it much more. They’re comparing a truck on rods with shot shocks to something with brand new high dollar suspension...

@@andrewhovanetz3525 how would they be shot, it's just an airbag no springs or hydraulic shocks. It relies on air pressure in the air struts.

Zachary Solomon that’s false. It’s the same design as a traditional coilover but it uses an air bag instead of a steel coil spring. So there is an airbag and a shock.

@@andrewhovanetz3525 yeah, you're right. I forgot that I didn't replace that portion of strut when I replaced the bags.

We never got the Y62 in America back then.

CACressida fair enough. I just saw the video posted a month ago. Y62 5.6 V8 is an awesome tow vehicle from my experience

And tow with the trailer pointing 20 degrees up? That's an accident waiting to happen. They just had the wrong hitch drop with them, and made due when they should have swapped hitches.

No. The jack should be able to lift quite a bit higher than the trucks hitch so you can still hitch it up even if it’s on a hill.

Your full of it mate hahaha or Braindead !!

Simple they are Far Far more superior !!

Hiluxtaco yeah there’s no argument

@@AmazonDeals78 how????

@@carholic-sz3qv for people that embrace the Toyota Brand Mythos, they are true believers.

@Mr Troll who cares?!??!?!?!

@Mr Troll other don´t and some does

I have had an 06 Range Rover Sport Supercharged for 5 years now, and as far as the kind of reliability you're talking about, I trust it 100%, but it is by no means reliable, lots of little annoying things mostly, but nothing that would strand you. Mine has 130,000 miles. It's really nice for towing too, because its supercharged!

@@turbovolvos40 shhh don't try to educate the toyotanuts with facts. It just makes them irritable and cranky.

@@turbovolvos40 .. and that's EXACTLY the point .."lot's of little annoying things". and the reason it has many annoying 'little' things is BECAUSE it has far more refinements than ANY Toyo .. therefore by definition .. there is more to go wrong. But as stated .. NOTHING that would usually strand you.

If you want to see where LR's 'pedigree' came from ... Google 'Camel Trophies'!! I have NEVER seen Toyota's undertake anything like these trials!

Same here!

Did that vehicle fail? I do think it should be in the comparison though!

Did it? If it did I don't recall seeing that episode. It's towing capacity is 7700 lbs so I believe it's right up there with the LC and LR in terms of towing capacity.

Because it's better.

Keon R. No the land cruiser is overpriced, it’s why it doesn’t sell. They literally sell the Lexus version for the same price. It’s not that far off from a 4Runner yet it’s $50,000 more. No one wants to drop $85,000 on a Toyota.

John Moore surprise surprise!!! There is countries where we pay $150k for a twin turbo V8 one and sells great when a mall crawl like the Land Rover Disco cost $97k and you barely see one. Also take a look at the UAE and see how many 200 vs Landies. Quality and reliability is highly more appreciated for normal people than sophistication appeal.

@@johnmoore1495 The 4runner is completely different, idiot. The land cruiser has a v8 with over 100 more HP and an 8 speed auto. The Land Cruiser doesn't depreciate half as much as the LR and is much, much more reliable.

Keon R. a V8 and an 8 speed _”completely different.”_ The 4Runner and Land Cruiser have the same target audience, Toyota has artificially made the Land Cruiser a rich people version. It shares the V8 that’s in the Tundra (and the Sequoia) which starts at $33,500. I imagine that 8 speed is borrowed from a Lexus. The 4Runner and Tundra are just as bullet proof at this point. My guess is that their production line in Japan (only place they make the Land Cruiser) is small so they jack up the prices rather than expanding. But even Toyota themselves know it’s overpriced because they sell the Lexus version at the same price. Meanwhile Lexus usually draws 25-50% more over the Toyota equivalent. The resale value is so high because no one can afford a new one. I’m not trying to make a pro-Land Rover argument, I think they’re POS. I’m just saying the Land Cruiser isn’t worth it at its price and that’s why Toyota sells almost no units in the US.

I have both an 08' 200 and a 10' LR4 (V8) The LR4 is better at both. The LR towing program with stability and self leveling is muuuuch better than the LC. The LC is on stock suspension unlike TFL's
