@@RatishRam - it is not a 15 gallon tank AND even if it was, tank size is not the bar you should be trying to achieve, range is. The range in the LC is not less than others in its class. Again, the poster is a moron.

I hunt and camp (in a tent) and carry a bunch of crap in my 2016 4runner (lifted with roof rack and big tires). I get 283 miles per tank. Never had an issue running out of gas. They’ll have an extended gas tank for it in the aftermarket. If not, carry some Jerry cans like most overlanders do.

My biggest concern is premium gas which is not always available in the small villages. Just did a 13000km trip with my Tacoma pulling a small 3500 pound travel trailer from Ottawa, Canada to the Rockies and home. I generally did not take the TransCanada highway but took lesser highways through rural areas. About 20percent of gas stations did not have premium and often they were the only station in the town. Toyota insists on premium gas yet apparently the same hybrid in the Tacoma takes regular. This is, to me, a bigger issue.

Just curious why you didn't research the size of the fuel tank before buying a $75k+ vehcile?

Range anxiety with a gas car 😂, never thought it would be a thing! But seriously, very realistic review - I did not know about this issue. The GX 550 has 21.1 gallon tank and it’s basically the same car! Don’t know why the difference (possibly to keep weight low for mpeg reasons?), either ways - no other reviewer brings this point forward, very real owners review - thank you so much!

Thanks. Finally someone agrees!

Hello, Thank you for your review, which is a bit pessimistic however is truly insightful, I was a bit shocked to know the fuel tank capacity is 17.9g, Where i am from the GCC the LC250 we are getting comes 29Gallons ALTHOUGH no hybrid so it is 2.4 turbo petrol same engine with no hybrid pack but with a bigger fuel tank, is it from the space ? i am not sure. Anyway thanks for sharing

I'm sure there will be an extended range tank from Long Range America relatively soon. They make them for the other Land Cruisers / Tacomas / 4Runners

Please do the S500 Review, Really looking forward to it

Interesting point since I am someone who backed out of a Rivian because of the range anxiety it caused due to a low range of under 300miles…. Our Land Cruiser gets the similar range! It’s definitely disappointing but I don’t have the anxiety I had when I was about to sign the papers for the Rivian. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Still a great ride off road though! I still love this thing and would highly recommend it.

Thanks for your review. This is the first video I've seen talking about the gas tank. I saw in another video a GX550 owner with the same problem, the tank is too small and 15 mpg

@SundayDrives

Ай бұрын

100% agree

I get well over 300 miles to the tank in my new landcruiser and that’s with plus sized tires and that’s about what I got in my Tahoe and grandhighlander ….this vehicle is great!

Hybrid is for power. Not fuel efficiency. That’s been known since the new Tundra hybrid came out. I like the hybrid system in my 2023 Sequoia

Wondering how many mpg you get on highway? Compared with GX, 18 mpg does not sound like a decent improvement to trade off for better acceleration, extra space and v6 smoothness.

@octoslut

Ай бұрын

actually the land cruiser probably accelerates and is smother than the v6 on the gx, reason is the electric motor which offers considerable amount of torque at 0-1000 rpm range.

A lot of enthusiasts also share your concerns so jesse Suarez blaming you for “poor planning” is being overly critical.

So it’s a smaller gas tank, but you’d dint figure out the range after 1,200 miles?

Can't wait for the S500 video

One of best Toyotas I have owned . Great power very comfortable. I have a x5 as well and great car but good luck with resell vs this Land Cruiser. Both great cars but my Toyotas vs my bmws are so dependable and have way better resell and longevity.

I would love if a company came up with an aftermarket a gas tank extender.... I would prefer to take the tire out and put it on the roof and put more gas storage where the tire is

I think it needs a bigger tank, but there seems like theirs alway stations halfway close to fill up before you head into wherever your going, I live in oregon and lots of land, there’s always stations to fill up once you get close to where your going in the mountains.

After 3000 miles I'm getting 19.7 MPG and it's noticeably shorter range than the 5th gen 4Runner I traded in...

Thank you for the video: I have driven this vehicle at three different dealers and agree with your comments. The present tank holds 17.9 gallons which would be adequate if the vehicle did achieve the stated highway mileage of 25MPG. However a number of recent youtube videos point out the true mileage is between 19-20MPG. A big disappointment! The other disappointment is using only high test gas and paying the premium of up $1.00 a gallon more. I drive a bullet proof 4runner generation 5 now and for the price of this Landcruiser I believe it will not be a successful model for Toyota. The other negative was the pull-off plastic on the tear bumper to use the tow hitch! Absurb on a vehicle at that price!

What’s the fuel tank capacity is liters? I’m curious because my Land Cruiser takes 140 liters

I thought this car should give you 23m/g but looks like 2010-2024 4runner do better then this then.

I agree w you 100%. I added 33” tires and now it guzzles the gas 🫣. Can’t wait to see the damage when I add the 35s. I’m filling up more frequently. I’ll have to adjust and carry extra fuel for longer trips. Still love the LC tho. Also show us how you build that platform.

I agree the limited range is a huge negative with this vehicle. No one wants a strap on multiple Jerry cans just to get normal range and have to pull over several times... I hate it.

In the US people is complaining about price (starts at 55.000 dollars). In italy the cheaper costs 86.000 euros. At 55k I would take it for sure, but I hate this thing we have to pay everytime way much more than the MERIGANOS.

17.8mpg is really low; Toyota quotes 27. I know real world is always lower but this is significantly lower. Hmm. Maybe heavy-footed city driving or high speed cruising can contribute but still, this is disappointing average. I was hoping for 22 minimum. Edit: having checked LC forums it seems you are low end of things, dudes are getting 22mpg out of theirs more often than not, but some are getting very low figures like yours, almost as if the electric motor doesn't engage.
