Which Land Cruiser is the best ? Answer: Yes.

People aren't upset about the change from V8 to 4 cylinder because they are worried about power. They are complaining about it because a boosted 4 cylinder with electric assist won't last as long as the under stressed V8 or even the older sixes. You could buy an older Land Cruiser and pass it down to your kids.

Toyota thinks that tipping a dealer $15k for doing nothing is just American culture.

The diesel version sold in Europe actually does have a 3rd row, and it's spacious enough that even tall adults, up to like 6' 3" can sit there in relative comfort

I’m worried about longevity of the drive train. The v8 easily went to 300k+. Add a turbo and hybrid system these won’t touch the reliability that the LC badge is pretty much known for

Dual injection, Solid axles so you never need a wheel alignment, swichable 2wd, 4wd high and low. Eight speed automatic. Mild hybrid option. Seats that adjust to fold fully flat. Headunit that is integrated into the dashboard not sticking up. A price point just under $50K. A wheel/tire package with real sidewalls and better ride quality like 275/60/18.

Toyota put a Man Bun on the Land Cruiser...

The only concerns I have is the dealership ADM. Why can't you guys just do MSRP (Monroney) and not add an addendum sticker. These rigs will be modified as soon as they leave the lot. Therefore, I'm out and will find a 1958 several years down the road from a private party and pay cash. That's what I did with my FJC TT, which is still my daily driver. Thanks Jeff!

I am amazed that you didn’t talk about the rear cargo area and how the battery intrudes into the space giving you less vertical storage area.

Jeff, My first concern is the placement of the spare tire. Just about every serious off road SUV you can name places the spare on the tailgate for ready access and that is not an option as it was on the last Prado. My second concern is the current absence of a 2 door model with manual transmission. For decades the mid-size (Prado) Land Cruiser offered these options.🤔

Toyota in their infinite wisdom, however, did ZERO ADVERTISING for it and instead pushed the mall-crawler-only Sequoia because "more space" instead of pushing the same suv the UN deploys to warzones and natural disasters...

The Land Cruiser PRADO now has joined the class of rugged cars like the LC FJ and LC 70 series. We used to enjoy the TREAMLINED PRADO as a SUV State Car just second to LC 200 and LC 300. We hope the streamlined FORTUNA won't be rugged.

I am glad they went smaller. They were getting too large for trailing well. The smaller engine will probably not be as reliable. Hopefully it's better than the ecoboost in the Bronco!

Not getting the 2.8L diesel engine option. Also what is the price to replace those electric batteries? How long are they warrantied for? Past land cruisers are running strong 20 years later. In 10 years are 2024 Land Cruiser owners gonna be sticker shocked when the dealership say it’s gonna cost $15000 to replace the batteries for that 48ph electric motor? Those are two things I don’t like about it. Plus if the batteries are located in the floor under the cargo mat. If I or anyone wanted to put a Truck Vault or Cargo guide back their doesn’t look like a option.

Yeah I asked about Turbo lag on TRD Jon page. I get that the electric motor increases torque. But when and where? If you’re fully loaded and driving to say Heber City UT in the middle of July. Or in Arizona in July at S.L. With Hi temp. Are you gonna have serious turbo lag doing a simple drive up the hill To flagstaff or Prescott? I had a 2004 Audi 1.8T twin turbo the lag was horrible in summer months trying to get up to speed. I ended up installing a cold air intake to aid in performance. But I’m not a fan of any 4cyl twin turbo. Most of the KZread poster talking about not caring don’t understand that 200 series LC are going strong and were built before most of them were born. These cars will go 300K if maintained properly.

The question is how much does it cost to repair or replace the hybrid drive train when it does go bad? We all know this model will likely have longevity issues compared to previous editions.

Love the two tone paint job - reminds me of the FJ Cruiser.

This and the new Saquoia are Frankencars. It's hard to comprehend how a new ground-up design can have the batteries simply suck in the back rising 5+ inches above the tailgate opening. It's like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. I understand that integrating the batteries into the floor will take time but I'll pass on these until they get that done.

Better in the 4cylinder? Yes maybe for the first two years. That is a lot of stress on the 4cyl. The old land cruiser was a 300k to 400k vehicle in mileage life. Doubting this one will do the same.

In Australia, that isn't a Land Cruiser - it's the smaller Prado. The Land Cruiser now has a V6 diesel (they dropped the V8 with the intro of the new 300 series). The 2.8 diesel in this new Prado is what we have had here for years in the HiLux ute. They are gutless and known for problems. While this new model is a huge improvement on the current Prado we have here, the engine choice is going to cost them a lot of sales.

Its interesting as an Australian hearing the LC Prado (LC250 in the US) being compared to the LC200. Over here we have the Land Cruiser Prados which are like the little brothers of the Land Cruiser 200s and 300s, and this is the new Prado...

Jeff...Great video. Is there any chance in Hades that we will see the Toyota Century SUV in the US?!? 🙏🙏

Let's be clear...the Land Cruiser is a vehicle that was NEVER supposed to have a third row. Ever. Some troop carrier configs sort of made sense for the Japanese military back in the day, but that is a whole different configuration. For civilian POV use, this is not primarily a soccer mom tike carrier or similar concrete jungle taxi of whatever sort. It CAN be used for that, but that isn't the focus. That back end is meant for the utility of other gear...and that's assuming you do not take out the second row for the same. 2 rows makes sense. 3 did NOT belong. There are other vehicles for people who need 3 rows.

Toy should have named it Land Cruiser Jr.

I can't see myself hating it for any of those reasons. I've been waiting for a reasonably priced SUV that isn't compromised by a 3rd row I would NEVER need (also that isn't a squinty-face Lexus or Land Rover Defender) that has decent offroad ability, will let me toss golf clubs in the back, take mountain bikes out and generally be something I can keep for a long time. I only do 5k miles a year now so this could be another 15 year vehicle for me.

I remember as a child when GM cut the weight of its full size models such as the Caprice from 4,800 lbs to 4,200 lbs was a big deal. 600 lbs lighter. Other manufacturers followed suit. Then base engines went from 5.7 litres to 5.0 litres. With improvements to transmission, fuel efficiency went from 13/18 to 17/24 which was remarkable from 1975 to 1976.

Everyone be forgetting the sequoia exists

I don't hate the car but it's not for me I want reliability and mechanical reliability as well and that's what the 4Runner brings I don't think the new 4Runners going to be that good be honest with you that's why I'm currently looking for a 5th gen I currently only fourth-gen love it

What's the safety rating?

Thank you for this review... I only liked the box shape... What is the difference between the new landcruiser and prado? Almost the same... No v8... No 3rd row... Too much plastic for 1958 edition... Clothes seats... Smaller size than previous model...

This is a substitute for LC 150 (aka Prado). The big LC 200 was replaced by LC300.

I got a kick out of the Hyundai ad about Wah. Wah is what you scream when it bursts into flames in your garage.

24 tacoma vs 24 land cruiser? or wait for 4runner? daily drive w/ camping in mind.

Got a little excited when I heard about the new model but after this I realize it's not for me. Not a fan of the interior. Plus I'm guessing they will sell for $75k after markup.

I will keep my 2020 LC, 28K miles on it....will also hold on to my 2022 4Runner TRD ORP, 15K miles. for a long time...but I will have to say the 1958 model is a lot of throw back to the first LC I ever looked at closely, a beautiful tan 1982 LC, that one vehicle stuck in my head

This video is obviously clickbait. I will only buy a vehicle with cloth seats, no sun roof, level beltline, level roofline, boxy upright ans spacious cabin, upright A, B and C pillars, with clear visibility, generous cargo area and good ground clearance. This vehicle has all those features I love and will pay for. My main concern is the NMH battery longevity, maintenance and replacement cost.

No Matter what people say about it, I think it's awesome. When others don't like it, makes it that more special.

If it will be available with a manual transmission and a naturally aspirated engine with decent power I would seriously consider it. I will not buy one if they are only available with a slushbox ! Lucky, my 2010 6 speed manual TRD Offroad Tacoma that got a new FREE frame in 2019 is still going strong and only has 130k miles on it.

Keep your gem, these won't have either, modern worldly garbage big companies are feeding us with.

I actually like the cloth seats. Simple and comfy asl.

I went from highly interested to highly UNinterested when I found out you have to pay a RECURRING Subscription Charge for some of the features to continue to work even though you already paid for it when you bought the SUV

My only complaint is honestly the hybrid system. I just feel like the washboard roads will destroy internals cells of the batteries. Like I hope I am wrong but that amount of shaking and voibrating makes me nervous.

This is the new Land Cruiser Prado which is the smaller brother of the current Land Cruiser 300. Its meant to be smaller and cheaper then the 300.

I want to know if the bed is flat for sleeping with the back seats folded up.

I don't like the lower ground clearance, approach and departure angles.

This is a 4cyl FJ cruiser definitely not a full scale Land Cruiser. The Lc300 Land Cruiser is much larger and much more luxuries there is almost no comparison. I still think it should’ve had the 6 cyl option.

This is technically the Prado, but they killed that nameplate for this generation. I looked on Toyota's global newsroom website and they're calling this just the "Land Cruiser 250 series".

I had FJ TRD for about 10 years, nearly 300k miles. Now have 4Runner TRD, 105k miles so far. Both all black. Great vehicles, but if they do this LC in all black, TRD, V6 a must, I will bring her home to meet mama.

They should sell the 70 series that they get in Australia. Solid axles, diesel, spare tire on rear door.

Buyets must master “the art of walking away” if dealers add unreasonable markup.
