Bet it will end up like the FJ. Once you get past the quirky/toy looks it’s just a 4Runner for $10-15k more. The Lexus GX is a far better value for the money. I think the LC sales will underperform in the long run.

From what I understand the headlights are interchangeable. You can purchase that model and buy the round headlights later if you like. When you are ready for a change switch ‘‘em out 😁

I ordered the 1958 in black. Yes I lose a few things. But the “sway bar disconnect” gives you 10% more articulation on just the front…. Needed? No. Something to fix and work around if you alter the suspension…. Yes. I don’t need a bigger screen. I would like the cameras but again don’t need them. And once everyone here has a kid spill milk or similar in a ventilated seat…. Well…. You’ll change your mind.

Intensity. I dig it

I can’t wait !!! I got back to Toyota to get one of these !!!

You guys are in my hometown! Driving on 94!

Definitely liter with LC videos but I really like the directions Toyota went

Do you know what you should start adding in your comments whenever you do the horsepower and torque and the towing numbers you should start adding how much the vehicle actually weighs. I think that would be pretty cool.

Circle headlights for the win, the rectangle lights look kinda goofy. I'm in the market for a new car but I can't wait the year plus it'll take to get one of these, hopefully Toyota can get a handle on their supply and demand issues.

And like always, the other Canadian automotive KZread channel made the far, far better video on the Land Cruiser 💀

I'm not even in the market for a car like this, it would make no sense but it looks so good that I want to get one lol

This is going to be insane........the dealership markups I mean.....

I wonder if there will be a way to mod the trunk space and delete the cup holder pillars to make more space. Or at least convert the cup holders to be just larger cubbies for storing things.

I see RR Cullinan in those squared headlights!

The Landcruiser brand is built to lay not to be flashy or fast. More refinement seperates the 4runner from the LC250

So I felt the same way but more so about the taillights I like the boxy lights and I'd love to throw that Lexus light bar on the back of the land cruise call it the GX Cruiser also how come there are no v6 hybrids? I felt like this would have been a great vehicle for it

At least they are working on looks🎉

Good luck trying to get one of the these anywhere close to MSRP.

The Pricetag of this small SUV is insane

When you say "not the fastest", I really wonder how it compares to the outgoing GX460 V8. Would this be an upgrade in terms of power & efficiency (hopefully with a newly designed engine)...

“Its just a toyota dont go all out” The designer: 🔥🔥🔥🔥

How much does it tow? I believe you forgot to mention the leg support extension for the lower part of the seat. Doesn't it slide out towards your knee to support the bottom of your leg more?

It is meant to provide what people wanted from defender and g wagon with reliability and comparatively cheaper price tag

Please, tell us at what RPM do we get 465 lb/ft of torque? In Canada I expect the availability and price will be unavailable and too high for more than next year. Always enjoy your reviews.

Sad thing that the actual Land Cruiser sales dwindled down during the 200 Series. Now US/Canada gets a Prado and they celebrate it like it's an actual LC. But I guess that not bringing the LC300 to NA made sense considering the 200 never sold that well while the Sequoia sold like crazy. Lexus still sells the LX, but that's just too much lmao

I don't know if they'll do a TRD Pro version of this, but all these iForce Max hybrids will probably get a plug-in Prime version in a few years, with a power bump...would be a shame not to capitalize on this with more "TRD" or "GR" version awesomeness.

Wish this or the 4 runner or lexus came in a 2 door I think in Europe they have one can't remember which one

How much “better” or different is it from the new Lexus Gx and is the price difference worth it?

This is the best SUV out there. Where you get the full package WITH reliability.

The only thing is I wish this car was in the 40 to 60 range usd and then the 4 runner at 60 to 80 range. Also Lexus with the v6

I don't think it make sense to compare this LC to the 200 series. This is actually a LC Prado which the biggest engine it came in was a 4.0 V6 gas.

You can literally buy a brand new Land Cruiser and keep it for 3 years or so and it will cost you at most $10k in depreciation (if you keep the miles down and excellent condition). Land Rover / Range Rover will cost you $40k-$50k in depreciation over the same time period. And you have a better looking, more reliable vehicle while owning it. Plus, you don’t look like a maxed out credit card / lease special db while driving it like the Range Rover/G Wagon, etc.

I like the styling way better than the new 4Runner.

Wish they blacked out the iforce badge to match the Land Cruiser badge.

Grocery store parking lots are going to be full of these.

Highlight swaps will be a thing for this lol

Now we are just missing the Water Drifter Toyota Land cruiser Groudon edition #teammagma

Toyota could make the 4Runner exclusively as a two-row SUV while giving both the Land Cruiser 250 and the Lexus GX550 Chevy Suburban-esque extended wheelbase variants with a standard 3rd row. While it's gonna cannibalize sales of both the Sequoia and the Lexus LX600 and will do so anyway, it may provide the two (mostly the former) something that they have both lacked compared to the massive SUVs built by Ford, Jeep, and GM.
