I have two Y62 s a 2014 ST L and a 2022 Ti fantastic cars on or off road , beautifully smooth and powerful , all independent suspension so it handles well and the big V8 gives it sports car like acceleration, on the open road or towing better fuel efficiency than expected . Huge comfortable interior . A delight to own and drive . Nothing has ever gone wrong mechanically. Great resale value . Strange 12 years after its global launch the car which remains largely unchanged suddenly is getting wide praise …probably because the land cruiser is so expensive and underwhelming.

A lot of people whinge about the LC200 and LC300 costs. But why does everyone forget to consider re-sale value? The 200 series at the moment are getting nearly all their money back and according to ABC who ran the article Landcruisers are better than having money in the bank. So the point I make is yes while the Cruisers will cost you more they don't in terms of running costs and re-sale value. The diesel vs petrol argument is a separate one but if range matters it has to be diesel IMO. Having said that the Y62 is a great rig if you don't mind filling it up all the time.

Pretty much the same conclusion for me when I was deciding between the two, main thing for me was internal and overall driveaway cost, but the ultimate deal breaker for me on the LC300 was the fact that Aussie only gets the dirty diesel along with all the restrictions that comes fitted with modern diesel, I've had bad experience with them so I would never buy another diesel new car.

Like modern diesels, modern petrol engines have come a long way in the past 20 years. We have to stop thinking of the tech in the Y62 engine as being similar to an old Aussie V8 because they are a whole generation ahead in efficiency and nowhere near as highly strung as a modern diesel.

I bought a s4y62 in 2018 new. Best car lve ever owned. I'm going to keep it for a long, long time. As soon as you said not much room in the back for the kids seats, I knew instantly you were going for the y62. The best choice mate. You won't regret it. Same colour as mine.

Personally I say good choice mate. Firstly the money you saved buying the Y62 can add a lot of mods (Bullbar, Winch, Tyres etc etc). Room wise I was really surprised to see so little in the Landcrusier and the back end doesn't look as long either. Interior, well I like the y62 more due to its shape. The Landcruser dash looks strange where the Patrol looks smooth and more sleek, I also much rather that steering wheel look. Only thing I noticed with the Patrol interior was the material seemed to be bunched up on the doors. External, well I much rather the styling of the Patrol as well. I dont like the bonnet on the Cruiser trying to resemble a muscle car or something. Last note, You should of shown Elenore more lmfao.

@@Australian4x4Adventures yeah you can’t escape the ugly. Ha ha ha.

I knew from last video you will buy y62. I just went straight to the end of video. Then I watched again

The rear seat in the Toyota locked really small. It's going to be a nice build.

You can't beat that leg room and the boot size. There are plenty of mods to future proof the 62 like the one in the video. I'll be doing all that to my series 5 one day. Personally I wasn't keen on buying a petrol V8 but was over having diesels. Too many things to go wrong on them and costs an arm and a leg for parts. Happy to pay more for fuel then expensive parts.

I think the y62 is a good pick and going by the video you thought about it for a long time and the reason on your pick makes a lot of sense to me so if you are happy with it am down to see what you can do with it am hoping for another diy drawers video

Haha. Thanks mate.

more interested in the cummins at 19:57. didnt know they sold those trucks in australia.

I'm so glad you went the Y62 route, the Landcruiser 300 is a great car, but for $140k, no chance of that, over $160k and when you said an GVM upgrade to 4.5T for around $30k that lost me for good. I know I have said this many times, but Toyota are taking people for a ride with the pricing of there 4WD's and if people like you say, enough is enough, the price may come down, but that's likely. So for now enjoy your Y62 and that $70k will give you plenty to do some great mods.

Your Y62 will look great towing your jet ski 😂😂 should’ve just got a Raptor… 😂😂 Oh, and great Vid!

Good choice! I like that with gvm upgrade you can legally run 37s

Yep. That’s a factor as well.

Congrats on the Y62 purchase! 🙂 Agree that the 300 Series seems tight in the rear seat area. The V8 rumble is last of its kind.

Definitely have an exhaust on the list as one of the first mods 😝

Great vid! Do you have further details on the 8t GCM upgrade? Does it need to happen before first rego? Does EC Off-road do it or do the farm it out to someone. Do you know what suspension changes are involved? Does towing capacity still remain at 3.5t? TIA

Towing capacity still remains at 3.5t. You can’t change that unfortunately. EC offroad do it themself but using DMW license who had it approved under their SSM license. It can be done pre and post rego.

For those figures quoted you could buy a new Y62 and get a 2nd hand Y62 for the Mrs.. it's a no brainer.. I knew you chose the Y62 as soon as you got in it and giggled...

Won't take long to chew up the other $40k+. Well done mate.

Both cars would need money spent on them. So the money saved is purely the fuel cost difference

I find it crazy how the passengers in the back of a 300 series or even a 200 series have as much space or less space than sitting in the back of a Prius

Excellent choice mate
