The Land Cruiser looks much better than the Lexus. That big gaping maw of a front grill is ugly.
I've a Land Cruiser 100 that is twenty years old this year, having covered 200,000 hard farm truck miles with much towing. It has the hydraulic suspension and I bought used standard springs for it 15 years ago just in case the hydraulic system failed in the future. It still hasn't failed and works like new.

I've been looking at prices between the two. There is more inventory of the lx570 than land cruiser. Also way better deals on the lx570. I personally like the 2014 , 2015 which was toned down but more refresh than the 2008 model. I believe the lexus lx570 has had 2 refresh since the first model for this gen in 2008. As far as the land cruiser 2016 and up is the best one !

I daily drive and wheel an ten year old LX570 (2008 MY) and have zero issues with it. Other than adding some 34" Falken AT3W tires it is stock for now. Plastic steps will be coming off to make room for SLEE Sliders soon. Coming from a built FJ cruiser on 35's with front ARB locker and rear E-Locker I was expecting a huge downgrade in capability but these rigs in LX or LC form are shockingly capable. I do prefer the looks of the LC to the LX, but I love the AHC system on the Lexus.
Both trucks are nice and will last forever. However they both cost around the same price... LX570 wins.
Land Cruiser
Land cruiser looks more simple so I like it.
i’d rather buy or lease a range rover or the lexus because for $95k to $105k, you can get a fully loaded Lexus LX or a decent spec Range Rover. i’d never spend $85k to $95k on a toyota. you wouldn’t see where your money went

Very well taken care off a but higher miles than I was initially looking for but the owner took great care of and has all the records. I'm excited to get it and drive across country then take it through its paces in CO!
Land Cruiser any day.
much needed review many thankx
The Land Cruiser is the epitome of stealth wealth; some people don't want to gloat about how much money they make or have saved up. To me, the LC is the superior choice if I had to buy between the two as a die hard Toyota fan. The suspension in the Toyota is more durable, and has KDSS, and smaller wheels for off-roading. Good luck off-roading in the LX with those 21 inch rims and no, the hydraulic isn't a substitute for the dedicated off-road stuff in the LC. The LX is a great overall vehicle; and I love it, but in my perfect driveway, I would have an off-road SUV like the LC, and then a dedicated luxury one, specifically to me, Lincoln Navigator. Luxury on-road and luxury off-road!

@@tortoru2827 That's subjective, I for one think the Lexus interior is uglier and too complicated the buttons are smaller and placed in weird spots and the touchscreen navigation joystick thing next to the shifter is just stupid to me. The land cruiser is set up to be less complicated and just all around a more intuitive user friendly experience where the lexus is just copying the trends of other luxury dashes like the BMW and Mercedes.
The LX with the hydraulic suspension has been around for 10 years without reliability issues.
Woah Alex! Great to see him!
“What’s wrong with your trust fund.” Lol
Really Roman your arguments are very contradictory considering how much you love your peacocking G wagon which is 50% more the price with much less technology and sophistication then the LX. As far as the Land Cruiser I do like the hood and front grill as that has been updated but the side profile needs to step up to the sculpted new look of the front end.

The LX is a Land Cruiser with luxury! They are both the same vehicle.
I sold my 1999 LX470 with factory air suspension 5 years ago - at 250k miles. The factory air suspension worked great still. While some people did experience issues, usually it was due to not flushing the fluid every other year - which I did. The new owner (to my knowledge) still has not had issues with it. Now at nearly 300k miles. Sorry Roman, do your research on that first - this aint no range rover lol
I think it just depends on what you want. I would pick the LX for the luxury even though I think the Land Cruiser is way better looking from the outside.
I rather get the lexus, just removed the size step for rock sliders and trim down the front bumper and install an off road with hidden winch. And finally put some 285/70 17 , and it would be better looking more comfortable just as reliable as the land cruiser.

I rather get the lx 570 better looking more luxury, and still can take it off road with some modifications.
Finally, a proper reviewer on this channel.
Which one has less road noise?
As an owner of a 14 year old LX 470 I totally disagree with the hosts blinkered observations. The LX has infenantly more and better kit than the cruiser. From paint thickness to windows and real wood, better leather, better suspension, extra sound deadening etc etc. Facts Vs opinion. Stick to the facts mate.

The lx570 really was made for the Middle East market
Landcruiser is made with life of 25 years. All other cars are made for a life of 10 years. This is evident why land cruiser looks old school inside, infotainment, engine(no supercharged) and all small parts(try to do away with electronics as far as possible). If I need to take a trip from India to England, this is my only choice for such a long trip.
had a choice to make, Lc200 Sahara or a Lexus LX 570! but i chose Lc200 Sahara which is the top of the range here in Australia! its worth of having for a family car:).... ive always been a toyota fan!
Its a simple choice. For frequent offroad purposes get a land cruiser, for a ultra luxury experience which can last long more than twice of any escalade or navigator, get a lx570.
I agree with Alex that the LX570 is a luxurious version of the Land Cruiser, which, by definition, negates it being a copy. Bottomline is: Land Cruiser for practicality and utility; LX570 for luxury and better performance, off and on road.
I have a 2007 gx and the adjustable suspension never failed so
My 2 favorite guys in the same video!!! You both have great shows, and I follow you both, thank you guys for great videos!!!
what happened to the turbo diesel version?
In India, it is like 2,03,420usd for TLC and 3,38,549usd for LX570.
This is the odd case when the Toyota land cruiser has more brand value than its luxury cousin.
One of the best reviews. Thank you!
Land cruiser for what it is, is way too expensive. The Lexus has the looks and luxury to back up its value. Land cruiser doesn’t have the looks to have identical price as the lx. Lexus for more onroad driving, Lc for off-road driving

The Lx can go all the way up to 100-105k the land cruiser doesn't go further than 90k. There's a price difference and the Lx is the better vehicle for luxury and tech, don't mind these guys. Even the graphics and quality of the screen is top notch on the Lx and rivals anything else out there. The land cruiser graphics isn't on the same level. All they complained about is the use or how intuitive is it. That in my opinion is a personal and subjective experience. There are people who have stated it took them a few days to get a hang of the Infotainment system and after that they thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
