I predict that you will buy another vehicle, have one thing go wrong and then trade it for something else.

Yep the GX550 overtrail
If 2:2 LC200 have the issue, Toyota has some questions to answer. TSB
Not a question of bad luck, but your decision making in general obviously leaves a lot to be desired. Yes, every family needs 2 LCs and a Bronco- why didn't I think about it before?
“It started right up that’s impressive” that shouldn’t be the case for a 2024 100k vehicle. 😂🤣

Thank you for the update Ben. You made the right choice and you have a plan of action. I will look forward to your new purchase. That issue you have with a second Land Cruiser is a Toyota issue. It needs to be resolved. Maintaining and owning cars is no joke. You have to think long term and the impact and costs. I live alone and I have two Oldsmobiles( 1992 Toronado and 1996 Ninety Eight)and I am able to do the repairs and work on the vehicles ( 3800 V6) and take care of them and drive them. That is key and important. You are heading in the right direction. I look forward to your next video.
You must make a lot of money on KZread owning all these expensive cars. I think I need to get in the KZread reviewing business 😊. You are getting a new 2025 Land Cruiser or a Lexus GX
I understand your move from a reasonable perspective. If you use the cars for content it's a different scenario, but as far as I can see from your channel most of the cars are reviews at the dealership. You don't need to own many cars for content in your case. You just need one to get to the dealership. I would guess the next one will be off-road capable and family friendly. Maybe the new 4Runner or a Tremor.

Probably the best choice is a non marked up ranger raptor
Ben!!!! Thank god you’re getting rid crapter!!! I better see an Ineos Grenadier in your garage soon! We will be Ineos Grenadier brothers
Quite a saga Ben. Agree with your rationale and hope you find a reliable vehicle that suits your needs 😎
My guess is the new 4Runner TRD Pro since you used to have one in the previous generation.
What high speed off road are you doing? How often are you out in the dessert driving high speed.
Based on from what you said in the past few videos, it's most likely that that leaked and they fixed it and they should have documented it. So Toyota would have taken care of that. But that's how dealers go sometimes. And if you feel like it's going to get worse then get rid of it. I've been there
Great video... how about a follow up to how much money you lost on these?
I love our Braptor, but we also don't put too many miles on it, and mostly drive it on our ranch in west Texas. I don't know what it's like to live in some city with neighbors living on top of you with a tiny 3 car garage, but I can see some people thinking they have too many cars, just not me lol.
Ben, You are on the right track. Downsize, reduce overhead. Just pick up a reliable hooptie and move out to the Bitterroot Valley. See you soon. Cheers.
does the 35 f150 2023 raptor fits in a 7ft high garage
Guessing you went with a 4Runner v6 or the previous gen LX or GX
Auto insurance is expensive to, so insuring numerous vehicles and licensing is big bucks, and the vehicle depreciation on top of that.
You're getting a 911 Dakar.

Best offroader
Should have kept the defender! Was an easy fix just needing a reset and software update. Bad luck for sure it seems with the LC’s. Must be frustrating
Ben I hope you bought the Ineos Grenadier. If you get a truck, get a F-250 Lariat Tremor. You can definitely take it offroad and you've got a truck to use on your future new land. By the way where's the GT350? I remember you selling the GT500, but that GT350 is sweet.
Ima show the buyer this video ben!
Ranger Raptor or a 4 Runner... feels like either would be the right fit. I mean, a ZR2 Bison or even a Canyon AT4X would be also, but I don't see Ben buying a GM product.
isn't there a recall on air bags?
Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ineos Greenadier, Lexus GX450, 4Runner. If I was to have or be able to afford 3 car garage I would have truck, sports car and luxury 4 sedan. The sports car would be garage queen. The truck I would drive to work and luxury sedan would be my wife’s work car but that’s my opinion. It’s kind of insane to have 3 to 4 trucks because of gas, maintenance on it. I wish Ben all the luck. Hopefully, he gets a vehicle that’s not a lemon.
My M2 just arrived at BMW of Murrary so I am a happy car guy right about now. 😁
Lets gooooooo!!!!!! The Ineos Grenadier is COMINNNNNGGGGGG
You’re the first person I’ve heard say that the bronco raptor is better off-road than the wrangler 392 aside from the high-speed stuff which is what you said it’s not good at, very confusing. Also is the 392 significantly worse than a regular Wrangler to Daly Drive? I’ve daily driven five wranglers and yeah they’re not terrific but it’s doable lol And I’m going with the GX550
I would say get a Seqouia Platinum or Capstone, Limited is great too if you want to save some money
I know I recommended the Yukon Z71, but now I can see the Sequoia TRD would better suit your personality. My opinion of the Expedition Timberline still stands. It'd be almost everything you loved about your Raptor, only it has three rows.
My guess, since you said "we will see" about Land Cruiser reliability and the dealer found a buyer quite quickly is; Toyota Land Cruiser 250. I would have bought the Grenadier or a Ranger Raptor.
Lexus GX?
I had a blast in Tooele you guys have awesome off-roading I am jealous

If Ben does buy the Grenadier, it will be short lived. The steering will become annoying and competent dealership troubleshooting and service will be hard to find. Replacement parts are currently 6 months wait or more. I personally love the Grenadiers looks and basic interior layout but until they establish service and mechanics to work on these things I would hold off.
GX 550 on order... But yes, I agree with you on land being more worth it than metal!!!!
If I had to guess. First, Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro. Reliable, off-road capable and fast. Second, F150 Raptor R or Ram TRX. Based on off-road capable plus fast plus the fact you want to buy land.
I think your going with a pickup for your next vehicle
Lexus GX 550 Overtrail+ or the Ranger Raptor.
New GX?
You’re getting the new Land Cruiser/ Lexus GX. Based on your history, those are the only ones that would make sense for garage space and financially.
grats on your Ineos Grenadier
Ben. I’m going to guess that your getting the INEOS Grenadier🤓 I so love that vehicle. Maybe if things go right I can get one in 2025.
What happened to the GT500
EVERY vehicle has things come up. I feel like looking for a perfect, no issue, dream ownership experience is setting yourself up for failure. I’ve got a BRaptor, 2 Wranglers (JLUR and 4XE JLUR), and a TRX currently. I’ve also owned all the standard boring reliable 4Runner, F150 Raptor, Grand Cherokee, Tahoe (+ cars)… They all have a compromise somewhere and have ALL had some minor issues I had to deal with to have fixed. I would fix the Land Cruiser and let her keep it rather than pushing for another perfect scenario. Just another car guy’s .02.
Bronco Raptor horrible at high speed off roading??? That seems like a driver issue tbh….
2010 Sienna with cloth seats.
Four Runner Trailhawk or Ranger Raptor.
Oh Ben why the land cruiser, sell the Bronco and leave the LC, or sell them both and get an LX 570 or Ford F150 lariat
Also incoming Prospector XL.
I’m gonna guess INEOS Grenadier. A V8 Sequoia TRD Pro could be one too but less likely I think.
Definitely an issue with this in the 200 series. But also uh... I'm beginning to think someone dumped two on you.
Lx or Gx
Land appreciates value, cars depreciate value. Smart move, sir.
I’m goin RS6 Avant, CT5-V Blackwing, or G63 4x4 😅
Ben, Now you are being smart investing in real estate. If it were I; for a car I would get a beater with minimal liability insurance. When it dies; remove the tags and leave it where it sits. Then get another beater. Do your channel with dealers vehicles. Real estate doesn't depreciate😎
Suzuki Jimny?
You came back to your senses and got a Last Call TRX.

@@kcw9313 lol You should think about heading out to Sydney and doing a few reviews of the trucks, or Utes as we call them. Toyota Hilux. Mitsubish Triton. The Toyota 70 series just to name a few of one not sold in the US of A. I would also include the Ranger but you guys have them now.
You must come to uae and bay nissan potrol super safari one door ...
Awe shucks, just catching up…still a good decision. You can get a new (250) lc and still have two…and a wrangler! I did the wrangler thing and I get same satisfaction w/windows down on other slabs(autos). Off-roading suburbia in the bronco had me laughing! Thanks!
Ranger raptor is a Jack of all trade, its the trend now.
I’m guessing the GX550 OverTrial 😎
Glad I don't have to deal with real world problems like three car garage parking, two Land Cruisers with the same issue, and whether the 2023 $80K Raptor that I'm trading will start. All in just the first four minutes.
He's buying a Sienna or a Ridgeline. You have the worst Land Cruiser luck on earth.
Land Cruiser 100 series or a raptor 37 package or a G550 over trail !!!
Utah and CO are the best states especially for these SUV's!! I just got a Bronco and can't wait for it to fall apart! Meantime will enjoy it
People saying buy an F150!! He has a Ford HALO vehicle and he is saying is not the best ride, comfort, it’s loud, and makes no sense. What do you think is going to be with the run of the mill?

💯 you are getting an Ineos Grenadier.. 😜😎
Before you lose the long hair, Ben, can you style it as a perm or Afro? As for which vehicle you're getting, my guess is a Ford Pinto. (I'm not being serious, but I will say I want you to have a vehicle you're happy with).
He's just leading us on with the high dollar badass offroaders. He's actually getting a Honda Odyssey.
Defender or Mojave
Toyota Prius. But with a 2 inch lift and K3s.
gx 550 or 4runner
Gx550 overtrail
I think a fun car for your drives would be Stinger
Do you live in a city in the United States؟
gx550 or new landcruiser
Recession squeezed 🎉
Yukon Z71 with 3.0 diesel is my guess.
crazyyyy
TBH, I think Toyota is in really bad shape right now. They did this massive launch and increased their pricing 20+%. I am also seeing quality issue with the new Taco out on the web so that's another reason to be concerned but that could just be 1st year of new gen issues which most vehicles have. If I had to guess, you stated the Bronco Raptor was too wide, but you like the land cruiser so I would probably not go with a pickup, at the same time you're only going to get high speed off roading unless you go something like Ranger Raptor..so that's my guess or maybe a Colorado Zr2, that's what i'm getting, hopefully this week.
Yes, Lexus GX 550.
Just get a f350 platinum. Surprisingly great for a family vehicle.
By a Lexus or Genesis
Gx 550 or Ineos Grenadier
Dacia Duster, obviously
Mercedes G-wagon is what you are getting, Ben?
Really going for that Kris Kristofferson look there, Ben. Oddly enough, it seems to work for you brother. Stay classy my friend.
keeps, sponsorship ?

why don't u get like a F-150 platinum
