It’s time for two off-roading legends to go head-to-head!
We’ve got Mat in a Land Cruiser from 2002, and it’s about to face off against a Range Rover in a series of off-road challenges!
So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the Land Cruiser, it’s powered by a 4.7-litre naturally-aspirated V8 that can produce 235hp and 434Nm of torque. It comes equipped with a 4-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at 2,260kg. We picked up this car with over 275,000 miles on the clock, and it still cost us £5,000!
Alongside that, we have the Range Rover. It dates back to 2004, and it’s powered by a 4.4-litre naturally-aspirated V8 that can put down 286hp and 440Nm. This power is sent to all four wheels via a 5-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at 2,440kg. What’s more, the Range Rover only cost us £2,000 when we picked it up!
So the Range Rover is heavier, but it also has more power! Will the weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… Let’s do this!
Thanks to @DavantiTyres for their help with this video!

The landcruiser was on heaps steeper descent in hill descent challenge. In Australia those Rangerovers are all dead in driveways everywhere. The landcruiser's are all still powering on making own tracks anywhere they want.
Centre diff lock is crap. It's a transfer case lock, only supplying equal power to the front and the rear, it's not a diff-lock like people think. It doesn't stop wheelspin, and does f all for traction.
Nobody there understands 4x4s, especially Matt. Same tyres, different profiles...what about tyre pressures? The Cruiser will have better ballooning ability (more tyre on the ground) over bumps, especially the rock crawl, than the low profile tyres on the Rangy.
Settling an off-road capability test by a drag race? 😔😔 I mean 😔😔 There are many different variables in 4x4s. There's the gearbox, the transfer case, and the finals drive...none of which were taken into consideration in this...drag race or test. When you are away from civilisation, reliability is the main concern, not drag racing. It means nothing in a 4x4 test.
Also, the art of off-roading is not as simple as point and shoot. Most take care or their vehicles, and do hill climbs and rock crawls as slowly as possible allowing better control and wheel placement, only gassing it when there are no other options. That rock crawl was a joke. Fancy getting hung up on the centre of the Rangy and on the diff of the Cruiser... 😔😔 Matt might, I say might be able to pick a line on a track, but he's, Nick too, are mentally stunted when it comes to picking lines off-road. I do like Nick, however, he can take a loss on the chin and laugh it away. Yanni thinks he's racing for slips.
You get guys...well, you get some guys who can drive for the runs, why not get people who at least understand the basics of a 4x4? I know. It's Matt's show, and if he can't drive a 4x4 for shit, the other driver must equally be as backward... It's funny how there's never a professional driver who wins runs on that strip. It's always Matt or that goof Yanni.
This contest is Landcruiser all day, every day. Rangies are a pretty decent 4bi, and even though this one was $2500 or whatever, it does come with a $5000 annual repair bill, more if driven hard like this by people who haven't a clue. The alloy heads on the V8 cannot handle a hot climate, they have a history of warping and blowing gaskets unless they've been 'fixed' to better handle the heat outside of the UK. Toyotas, especially Landcruisers, have a world-wide support network, but rarely need it. Why else do you think Arabs choose them to run all over the desert? I've never seen an Arab in a Range Rover. I wonder why...
The Cruiser will never break (okay, they do, but rarely). And, that's what to buy if you want to get involved in this. I've had hands-on experience since the mid 70s so don't give me lip.
These cars doing off road races all sounded epic.

That Toyota can do the same mileage again..
Supra GR also can do this.
Nope. Supra is a z4. It will die after 100000
It’s only just run the engine in
My friend’s dad had a Land Cruiser with 700 000km on the clock. It looked like shit outside and inside but still run great.

The range Rover has gone to the scrapyard and the land cruiser still got 200,000 more miles in it😂

The HDC, Air Suspension, and brake fluid sensor warning tells it all for the range rover😂
Love the fact you took tyres into account and fitted both cars with the same tyre type !
Different rims. The Rangy is basically on low profile tyres, and has no ballooning ability like the Cruiser's 70 series tyres or whatever...
but rangie had a drawback coz it was on low profile alloys
@@bsjddjkthat's factory spec as same for the land cruiser. So pretty fair
@@rexeverything4578humans are hard to satisfy eh? We always complained about how the cars are on different tyres and it isn’t fair. Now Carwow has finally listened and used the same tyres, but now the profiles are different. 😂
@@PrioCaptSend It means a hell of a lot off-road. So you have as much understand of this topic as, say...Matt? Did you read any further into my comment or did you just stop there? If you did, you'd see that I explained the main reason why the profiles and especially pressures make a huge difference in many/most situations off-road. Low profile tyres also can cause rim damage, and that's the last thing you want with alloys.
This is why the 4x4 test will always remain unfair. There is no equivalent to hopping in a car and putting your foot down in a straight line. If you don't know what the hell you are talking about, it's better for all if you simply don't talk. 🙄🙄

Not true. That Range Rover would breakdown before it left city limits.
True..Australian's generally talk rubbish...they go on about a 10 meter sand dune they go up like that's pinnacle 4x4 driving. They haven't been anywhere else so have nothing to compare to. I took one mate to Scotland and he couldn't believe some of the tracks we took him on.
The difference is that you will comfortable in the RR... while waiting for the tow truck, but you'll be slightly less comfortable in the Toyota, while navigating through the harshest terrain known to man.

Interesting take on what 4WDing is all about, in all my years of off roading I have never heard of someone wanting to get through an obstacle in the shortest possible time, it's always been about who can actually get through the track safely and getting home reliably.
Unkess you drive an XJ, i fully agree. More about having controll, then flying thru and destroying you car😂
Completely agree, this is just driving like a yob
Japanese “Kaizen” versus UK “snobbery”-I’ll take a well-built beast over a name brand, any day…
Need an off road battle between new range rover and a new land cruiser 🙃 that will be aweeeeesome 😅
Yes!
land cruiser will crush new range rover modern range rover got lot more electronics! while land cruiser is still raw & tough modern range rover is for ppl who want to so hardcore offroading but in a slow & calm way no way it could take a beating like a lc
We definitely need that

Facts
Don't be stupid
@@lostworld5667 it definitely will
It definitely will. There’s a reason why countless NGOs, civil services and so on especially out in the Middle East use land cruisers (cost obviously a big factor). Toyota/Lexus have always been hugely reliable versus the vanity project nonsense that is JLR
Just another demonstration of what makes the Land Cruiser the best of the best. Utterly incredible performance from the old girl.
Lol just love how he introduces Graham in these videos 😅...that drop is iconic
they should've put point deduction for everything that is not working after the race LOL
The back of the Range Rover says "Ran over" lmfao
The front says "Anger"! Huge fan of that combo

5k for a v8 land cruiser is cheap
Ikr 😂 here in Fiji that same exact model can go for double or triple the price he mentioned 😢
I got me a lexus lx470 for just 10k.
In Portugal 🇵🇹 they are selling around 15K to 20K
why are used cars so cheap in the UK?
Sold my 2000 V8 for 5,000 dollars 325k miles glad to see it go. Traded for 2005 discovery 3 HSE HD. No comparison love air suspension 235k miles going strong. Always in the desert or dunes.
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen of yours!
Thanks for that.
Landcruiser. The saying is. Going to Africa? use a Landrover. What to come back? Better Use a Landcruiser. The cruiser has been competing all its life.
As an Australian, I'd rather take the 100 series Landcruiser any time. They're everywhere here for good reason. Often with 400,000km's plus on the odo.
Land Cruiser 100 still pretty good even after 1million KM driving.
Yeah and try to get a rangey fixed out I the bush
mine has over 440k miles on it. Eats gas but it runs like a watch.
They are everywhere because the choice of trucks in Australia was almost completely limited to Japan until the 2000's.
@@marcooconnorYou've obviously never been to Australia.
Y'all know what they said "If you want to go into the Outback, take a Land Rover. But if you want to come back out again, make sure it's a Land Cruiser"
Worth watching for the laughter after the air time the Rangie got! Good work lads 😂
This video, to my liking, can only be described with one word
Perfection.
I’ve actually had both of these cars! The 2004 Range Rover had 45,000 miles and I put $15,000 of repairs on the extended warranty (hallelujah) in under a year and 8,000 miles of driving. While the Cruiser had 340,000 miles after putting in a new used engine at 300,000 miles and was a tank there on.
you must be so agresive with your engine mate 😂
New engine and bro acts like this is a win 😂😂😂
This point system is a scam. The rover didn’t complete the rock crawl so it should have gotten 0, finishing first by 0.01 seconds is a tie, especially when the timer is stopped by hand and the rover should get a -100 points penalty for not being able to drive home 😂
Cruisers are beasts 🔥
You salty😂
He’s actually right. Points system is biased.
The fun thing is that none of that actually matters and you can see very clearly which one is actually the better vehicle
They should've had each driver use each vehicle twice, and the RR would've gotten through if they used the air suspension after the pump cooled, this is common for air suspension vehicles and is just user error. A tug of war in the mud would be a better tie breaker.
Stop sulking RANGE ROVERS FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for your efforts and time spent for this video, i really enjoyed it
That was awesome, I laughed so hard! Nice work
Yeah that race to the top should have been even points for both cars. 0.01 second is well within timing error from Graham.
but u should also look at the fact that range rover did it with those low profile alloys & air suspension problem
@@bsjddjkThose off road cars doing drag races makes me remember something from TEST DRIVE OFF ROAD 3.
@@bsjddjk unreliable junk
@@bsjddjkthe Land Cruiser did it with a 50 hp deficit
That's not how races work.
That was great entertainment! Thanks Matt and Nick.
Man nothing beats a good ole drag race. Wow that was good
There is a saying in Australia - if you want to go to Outback you need a Land Rover, if you want to go back - a Land Cruiser
Toyota is so much reliable
My family has the Lexus version of that car just as a backup car and everything still works, it’s incredible. It’s still very nice inside too.
@@conor7154 Toyota and Lexus are like brothers, I would be happy with either

Great comparison and a lot of fun had by all ❤️👌
“Graham off road expert” is the best thing Carwow has ever done 😅
The Land Cruiser is the better purchase, hands down. Doesn't matter that it costs more than 2X the price of the Range Rover, or it's milage (Toyota's V8 can last easily 400.000 miles or more if properly maintained).
The range rover still looks modern today! It looks so great
This was fun. I like videos that are more organized into categories rather than just randoms stuff
I will choose the Toyota till the end of time
It truly is the peasant's chariot.
I will choose the Range Rover until the end of time. I couldn't care less about its reliability. if you take care of it, buy genuine land rover parts and service it at a main dealer, it can last a really long time. I woiuld never buy a Toyota. Ever.
@@N1ckZwhy not? Prejudice?

Love the ranger rover that in the front says “ange r” and in the back “ran over” 😂😂
I’m glad that some notices this. This is actually funny
Fond memories of an ancient and rusting Mk1 Range Rover in Saudi Arabia in the late 1980s where the letters on the front had been cleverly altered to spell 'HANG OVER' 🙂

i love it when Matt introduces us to Graham and its just a clip of him falling 🤣
Range rover shouldn’t have gotten a point for the rock crawl. It didn’t complete the challenge.
Matt is biased. He really tried to get out to a good end that Rover no matter what. Toyota had 0 errors, even with 100k more miles, and could do twice, meanwhile Range Rover is almost destroyed.
British car and a British man what do you think the outcome will be...
@@robertczimmerman3774Matt is definitely not biased towards Land Rover, have you seen his comparison videos? The reason the air suspension and HDC kicked off suddenly is more than likely due to a poor/low running battery, and if you know Range Rovers, you’ll know it’s common knowledge to not cheap out on batteries as they have loads of electronics, if the air suspension was up and the diff was locked it would’ve swept the rock crawl easily as it has no rear solid axle for it catch on like the LC did, also the L322 was hardly destroyed, especially when you consider it was bought for less than 50% of what was paid for the LC, nicer examples fetch more and it’s common to see L322’s at high mileage.
Interesting to note that the recent pickup battle, both the Isuzu and Hilux made it across that without issue. The 35" tyres probably helped to be fair...
12:00. IF they finish. So it doesn’t matter if they finish. The car that went the furthest got the most points or which did it the fastest.

Hey Mat 👋 love your videos
Land Cruiser does NOT have air suspension . Its hydraulic.
Oil based.
Features accumulaters and hydraulic struts. Way way more reliable than air suspension.
Also shocking it cost £5000
Here in kenya, same vehicle would be £10,000 minimum
Ah, another Kenyan. And he’s knowledgeable, I don’t know why they don’t know that LCs don’t have air ride

@@devmike7890 thank you 🙏🏼
In my country it's 4x the price it's pretty much expensive
Even in the good ol' USA, that Land Rover would have gone for probably closer to $8-10k, maybe even more. $5k is insanely good value for money.
"If you want to go into the Outback, take a Land Rover. But if you want to come back out again, make sure it's a Land Cruiser."
You're absolutely right, mate!
What other choice do you have? Besides have a Land Cruiser tow the Land Rover back.

@@1corinthians15.1-4kjv the only problem with Nissan as a whole, and sadly the Patrol as well, is they have not manufactured any good ones for approaching decades now.

I had both of these SUV's lol! Unpopular opinion, but I loved the Range Rover much more. I am a DIY-type person though so the small repairs and upkeep weren't anything crazy to me.
Totally agree, not liking all the ridiculous “love this, hate that” comments on here. Both cars good in their own way.
Range Rover is pure class and will take the rough terrain.
Land Cruiser is more utilitarian and will go anywhere on the planet without breaking down “easily” but not very sexy.
My view, different horses for different courses - so just buy both 😊
@@PNoblesGarage People are naturally ignorant. It's easier for them to "pick a side" rather than use their brains, see perspectives, etc. As someone who had both, I shook my head a lot lol.

Good job on running the same tires. So often thats not taken into account and the rubber on the wheels make all the difference rather than the car. Big thumbs up for that 👍
17:49 what a shot! Pure chaos!

Been waiting on this review since 🎉
Mark massive fan, but not going to bother with this one, the answer is Landcruiser (and bit of a Landrover guy).
As they say, if you want to get anywhere take a landrover, if you want to get home as well, take the Toyota.
Oh go on then, I’ll watch it anyway.
Range Rover may have won, but ultimately, as Mat said, the Range Rover wouldn’t be able to drive if this course after the race was done. The Toyota just kept going. Clear victory to the Toyota
That drift of Cruiser at the end of drag race was awesome
I always love seeing 100 series Getting tested. Makes me cherish mine even more.

They do it for the views and comments. Land Rovers are really awesome vehicles when maintained properly or you don’t have a bad example. Just like other brands
and they're all brits
With the Land cruiser presented at the time, you can even use a Prius and slap a "Recovery vehicle" badge on it and everyone gets home at the end of the day.
