    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
