Unless he is selling off some other family vehicles and talking his daughter into driving his Hyundai and him driving this LC.
I think it’s only fair that the guys who go over budget, have to give up that amount of money on the next build. So, Andre loses $500 and Nathan loses $5k …..
Its a shame your videos aren't getting millions of views.. this is the car and truck content we need, respectful, gracefull, and you guys don't buy perfectly good vehicles just to TRASH them like so many huge youtubers. Kudos to TFL👏👏👌 edit: also you guys are truly hilarious, i love the banter between the crew🤣
This series really needs to continue on through the winter or for at least 6 months to really test how reliable these vehicles are 😁 But having owned multiple Toyota's with 200k to 300k+ miles, I as well as most already know the answer 😎
I daily drive a Ford with 401K that I would still drive across the country in without a second thought. While i acknowledge that Toyota has made some truly excellent vehicles over the years I remain unconvinced the Toyota pickup/Tacoma is the most reliable truck on the market. In fact I don’t believe it is
@@BC08I would argue that the Tacoma edges out ford not because every ford is bad, but because ford trucks are inconsistent. Some do run for forever and some die pretty quickly. Toyota is a little bit more consistent with their trucks
@@crispyjokingtuna1495 I think that’s mainly because Ford typically offers so many powertrain options vs Toyota which generally offers 2 engines and 2 transmission in the US Tacoma. I will agree that across the lineup the Toyota will have fewer “avoidable specs” than a Ford.
@@Oddballtech I can find more million plus mile Ford than Toyotas. In fact go to million mile van website to see a 1997 Ford E-Series that went 1.3 million miles on the original 5.4 2V and transmission with no major repairs
Add a rear locker to the Land Cruiser and it’ll be the best off road by far. I think it’s worth doing a mini series on with modifications to see how it does.
I want to see more of these vehicles. Test them at the ranch, do some other videos with them. Maybe even build them, Tommy and Andre could have at least taken the running boards off.
4Runner is literally the best option it can do everything what a bigger land Crusier can do but still lighter body, 3.4L V6, locker, Perfect size and wheel base and is cheaper then Land Crusier and super relable.
I think the next challenge should be a Honda vs Mazda vs Mitsubishi off road challenge. Yes, Jeep and Toyota are known for off roading. However if we’re going to make it a really interesting fun challenge, go with brands that aren’t known for off roading.
My '17 Outlander Sport (stock) has the same ground clearance as a Subaru. Took it off-roading numerous times, with minor rock crawling. It was a super reliable crossover.
🤣 This series is a hoot,1 nail biter ,1 budget buster, 1 responsible buyer, you all bring your own chemistry to the show, Roman's the luckiest one of them all, he gets to spend $$, spot, watch them scrap, scratch, and hear Andre's pain every rock he hits , and Nathans oh this'll need a little momentum down goes his 100 pound right foot as he smiles cresting the rock face , and Tommi just cruising along in the 99 4Runner making the other 2 look tired rolling up the hill with ease, Roman had the birdseye view of it all, the best spot in Moab, it has been awesome, Tommi wins, since you started this series, I looked for a used 200k plus mileage Toyota in Canada ,particularly a 4 Runner and they are out of reach and reason and some bodies looking like Swiss cheese , when your done maybe I'll make an offer on the 99 4Runner Epic video👍
@@rickeycooley9139 I agree. I put a 2” spacer lift in my Tundra with stock size KO2’s and it goes almost anywhere. Lifting that front end is essential.
hell yeah. My dad has a 2008 crewmax and we took is everywhere mud, snow,dirt/sand, and rock. Its still going strong after 15 years. Always going to be there for us
Agreed. 80 series is really cool and all but everyone has already seen and knows about it. Nothing new. 1st gen sequoia or tundra has always been relatively under the radar and would’ve been pretty interesting
I knew Tommy was going to win as soon as he said rear locker. I have a 2000 4Runner I bought from my ex-wife, (she bought it new), and the first thing I did was remove those running boards. I gained about 6" of clearance in 30 minutes. Everyone was asking me if I had lifted it. Then I did do a 2" lift with Bilstein 5100's and OME springs, Falken 285/70/17's on Level 8 aluminum 6 spoke rims, SPC adjustable upper control arms and a front diff drop. It does not have a rear locker. It has 250K miles and has been in our family for 24 years. It crawled all over the Alpine Loop in Colorado without a problem, and got us back to KY in one piece. Great vehicle!
As a tundra double cab owner with a 3" level. I like the versitiliy of having a bed and the V8 power for towing. With the ELocker in the rear I've had a great time off road with it in the one year I've owned it. Great vids, keep them coming!
In the Land Cruiser community we call the trailer hitch a "rear stinger"...it's not going anywhere with a big hit and it makes contact (audibly) before anything important does.
Yes, especially the half tons are all around most reliable. Had 2. Sold one and I still have 1 as a second work truck. 2015 SR5. Just hit 100K miles of mostly towing amd hauling. I just had to replace a seal. Other than that brakes and oil changes. Sold my 2010 trd tundra regular cab with 203K for good money and with no issues either. Just basic maintenance really.
Old 4Runner is by far the best. No mods and basically stock and under budget hanging with an over budget and moded Land Cruiser. Love the 3rd gen 4Runner.
I pretty much LOL'ed through the ENTIRE episode because I knew Andre was going to be the one with the most scraping along with Nathan proudly boasting about his Land Cruiser, and Tommy basically reminding us all of how he's been mindful of the rules for this challenge. I was thinking more along the lines of "Itchy" for Andre instead of "Mr. Plow" because he scratches a lot... 😉
Andre brought the over-budget low-rider. Tommy wins for staying within budget and buying a competent off-roader! And TFL wins for finding a 15k G80 LandCruiser that Toby approves of!!! I wish Nathan could have found a reasonable Sequoia for this series . . . that would have been cool to see!
I did the exact same thing Roman did, crushed my 7 pin draggin my 07 Tacoma haha, however… it ended up somehow shorting out my transmisson parking brake interlock. When I parked it, it refused to come back out of park and I had to remove the tranny cover and push the hidden red release button. So, if that ever happens, theres literally a hidden release button!
Listening to Andre’s truck groaning and scraping over obstacles sounded like a ship slowly rolling over and sinking. Fortunately, the truck didn’t sink! Well done!
If you want the best mix of all, get a GX470. Great approach, departure, and break over angles, small like the 4Runner, V8 like the tundra, and looks great and holds value like the Land Cruiser. You also get a low range transfer case, locking center diff, ATRAC traction control, and a plush Lexus cabin. You can pick up a higher mileage one for a decent price too
Tommy has enough for springs and shocks to put a mild lift on that 4runner if he can do the work himself. Take the running boards off and he would have a great little off-roader.
Thanks TFL for a fun production using my favorite vehicles. Retired 30 year Toyota MDT, and a long time (way long time, family's first Toyota was a 77 TE Corolla DX my mom bought in 1980, through the 3 I own today, 11 Taco TRD Off Road double cab, the 15 Sienna the wife drives and my daily driver, 04 ES 330, we live and breathe Toyota. Most miles for me, was the 2000 Tundra I bought, sold it for the Tacoma. It had 230,000 miles on it. Again, TFL proves why us Toyota owners love our vehicles!!!!
I wish Nathan would have searched harder for a sequoia. You can find them all day for under $10k. I would have loved to see that do your tests. We all know Land Cruisers are great. We don't see much on the sequoia I just purchased a 2005 with 247k mi. for $3500. $1k for a timing chain, shocks, and a tune-up. New tires and I've already done a couple trips throughout CO with no issues.
2k to paint hood and roof! I took my hood to bare metal primed and shot in few hrs and like 100 bucks in materials. Acualy did whole truck in red with body work and in around 8-900.00 and not rattle can but base/clear. Even in shop rates ID Say 850-1200 to do respray on hood and roof.
If you want a super reliable all rounder and capable of doing whatever the Bigger LandCruiser can do but budge friendly then definitely the 4Runner is the best option.
Love this series, the tundra has been the most impressive so far. Toyota’s are great, but over rated IMO. Was in debate when looking for an overland vehicle to build. 4Runner, Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, or 1st gen Durango. 4 runners $7-10k Durango $2.5k Bought the Durango, $1250 in repairs needed and some maintenance items. And probably $3000 in upgrades. I saved my self probably $3000 -$5000 just by not falling into the Toyota fan boy club. Lol
Paid 6k for a brilliantly running 235k GX470 that would comfortably execute these challenges. Honestly most impressed with the Tundra for it's size and length it somehow manages pretty good performance. They can fit such large tires compared to a 4r too that I think it'd be a serious competitor with a locker and a tire
the coolest cars we can buy instead of buying 1 latest series limited anything, even financing 1. You can get 10-15 vehicles that would probably last last than the 1 limited latest series anything car.
wife just sold a 2006 Tundra with front end damage SR5 with 137,300 miles that never had any real maintaince done to it and was trashed inside by a smoker for $5,800? Her son has a medical problem and can't drive.
TFL keep the $10k budget vehicle videos coming. What modern people can afford.
Next year, make it 1K. That's all modern people can afford by that point 😂
@@adamsitar2717most people can’t afford $1k
Moral of the story is that is difficult to find a Toyota offroader that is less than 10k even with more than 200k miles.
Damn... So true.
Fake news
@@patmaldNot fake news: it’s difficult to find a GOOD Toyota off-roader that is less than 10K even with more than 200K miles.

Nope. I bought my Sequoia for $5400 and I’ve been taking it off-road for the past 2 years. 2” lift and 33” tires, it’s really good off road.
Nathan needs to admit that he’s keeping that Land Cruiser for himself when this is over
I can’t blame him I would too
@@j.7584 I would as well he got a great deal, but I would at least admit I was keeping to justify the spending and “cheating” on the challenge.
It's interesting that I was thinking that would be exactly why he not only chose it, but Roman allowed it. However, having some insight into what Nathan has in way of vehicles already and the budget of family costs, etc. I am not 100% sold that he is going to keep it. Unless he is selling off some other family vehicles and talking his daughter into driving his Hyundai and him driving this LC.
I think it’s only fair that the guys who go over budget, have to give up that amount of money on the next build. So, Andre loses $500 and Nathan loses $5k …..
They will just cheat again.
Next time you do a budget series make the guys use the vehicles as daily drivers for 30 days.
I'm at 350k on my 98 4Runner and its still a daily driver.
Nathan was disqualified as soon as he bought it for 50% over the 10K.
It should have been the 5k 10k 15k used Toyota challenge
I agree with you 100%. He should be disqualified.
You should be disqualified from posting. 🥱
He did no mods and went through unscathed....sounds like a win to me.
Its just entertainment. We don't need to take it too seriously
I appreciate you guys being so careful with the vehicles as normally a owner would be instead of just beating the shit out of them.

Tundra proves that you can do a lot with a pickup truck if you don't care! Impressive it made it through thanks to the short front overhang.
A lift and some steel bumpers and it would hang with the other two just fine. Love those trucks
Add a rear locker to the Land Cruiser and it’ll be the best off road by far. I think it’s worth doing a mini series on with modifications to see how it does.
And it really only needs a rear...everyone lusts after the "triple-locked" 80's...just a rear "lunchbox" auto-locker and you can do almost anything.
Amen.
I want to see more of these vehicles. Test them at the ranch, do some other videos with them. Maybe even build them, Tommy and Andre could have at least taken the running boards off.
Did Nathan cheat with his purchase? Yes. Does a badass old Cruiser make the series better? Absolutely!
maybe next time they do a 5k, 10k, and 15k used series
4Runner was a solid choice for the price killed it most of the time
I think Nathan's experience was typical of a someone looking for a Toyota. Start looking, then realize you need to up the budget by 50%, lol.
The land cruiser is the land cruiser, the Tundra is doing better than expected, and I'm liking the 4runner more and more!
4Runner is literally the best option it can do everything what a bigger land Crusier can do but still lighter body, 3.4L V6, locker, Perfect size and wheel base and is cheaper then Land Crusier and super relable.

The Tundra kicked ass out there. As a fellow Tundra Crewmax owner, I can attest that these things will go amazing places.
I was rooting for Andre the whole time as he had the biggest disadvantages with the long wheelbase and lowest ground clearance.
I’m not a lift fanboy,but that Tundra would do better with a 2-3 inch lift. Just my thoughts.
@@rickeycooley9139 I agree. I put a 2” spacer lift in my Tundra with stock size KO2’s and it goes almost anywhere. Lifting that front end is essential.

Yell yes a bonus episode ‼️ 🤙 I loved this old Toyota truck series super dope 💯
You can tell which one of those is being kept after the series. Fun stuff!
Listening to Andre’s truck groaning and scraping over obstacles sounded like a ship slowly rolling over and sinking. Fortunately, the truck didn’t sink! Well done!
You guys should have picked up a 4x4 first gen sequoia. Can get them for $5-7k and have enough left over for a good lift and tires.
If you want the best mix of all, get a GX470. Great approach, departure, and break over angles, small like the 4Runner, V8 like the tundra, and looks great and holds value like the Land Cruiser. You also get a low range transfer case, locking center diff, ATRAC traction control, and a plush Lexus cabin. You can pick up a higher mileage one for a decent price too
I got a 2008 Tundra passed down to me with the same miles. Pretty funny to see pretty much my Tundra doing offroading.
that's a great truck to get for free
"Who needs a therapist when you can go off roadin'."
Did deep and you’ll find 79-96 are the overbuilt years of the Toyota trucks. After 96… things had to change.
The new trucks are stronger but bigger. The old ones were tiny
Been waiting for this episode 🔥
Tommy has enough for springs and shocks to put a mild lift on that 4runner if he can do the work himself. Take the running boards off and he would have a great little off-roader.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Tommy bought that 4Runner from the company.

If I had to choose of the three, Tundra!!, I love problems always.. 💪🏼💪🏼
The Land Cruiser just takes it to a new level . Great series, great job, really enjoying it. Need more of these $10k comparisons .
These series are a lot of fun to watch, thanks for making them. You guys are awesome!
I like the concept of this series, and I would like to see more real world daily driver videos of these older Toyota trucks.
Tommy got the best vehicle in this series. Price, size, off-road chops.
I love how Andre cringes like it's his personal expensive truck. 😂
Every scrape, every bump 😮😢
Nathan's disqualified for failure to follow the rules
I wish they would do a few actual mods in these series, especially with rigs under budget.
that big A tundra is awsome and the 4runner bit a lift kit on that tundra would have been great but it was funny seeing it get all scraped up.😂
Love that 4Runner.. Needs a lift..
A similar series comparing the tundra with other full sized trucks over 200k but less than $10k would be a good watch.
I love these challenges. Very entertaining. TY
Nathan just standing in the back round saying this is the crap we have to put up with each day 😂
Tommy and the 4Runner for the win with cost vs capability.
I wanna see a series about the first 3 generations of Nissan pathfinders that’ll be a good one
Great thanks to these guys now I'm looking at used Toyotas and Lexus along with off road accessories. I'm thinking maybe a GX.
Roman needs to study a tape measure. Calling out 6 inches. When there's 2 feet left. 😅
Roman has never used a tape measure in his life. Or any tool for that matter
As a proud Tundra owner, I knew right away it would struggle in Moab. Wish Andre had gotten an FJ Cruiser.
Always look forward to watching these! Thanks guys!

Great video! Love the Toyota content, and can never have enough Land Cruiser videos.
If you want a super reliable all rounder and capable of doing whatever the Bigger LandCruiser can do but budge friendly then definitely the 4Runner is the best option.
Love this series, the tundra has been the most impressive so far. Toyota’s are great, but over rated IMO. Was in debate when looking for an overland vehicle to build. 4Runner, Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, or 1st gen Durango.

Bought the Durango, $1250 in repairs needed and some maintenance items. And probably $3000 in upgrades. I saved my self probably $3000 -$5000 just by not falling into the Toyota fan boy club. Lol
The last test should be what they resale the Toyota’s to see if they lost money or made money
I love these series.
Can we get back to testing 3 new trucks here? Like you guy's did wirh The Raptor, Trailboss, and Rebel?
Tommy has the best vehicle for the money!
I really enjoyed this! Thanks, TFL Team!!! 😎👍
The Early Tundras have a known defect, the airpumps , I spent a fortune to replace them on my 2012 and I am only at 70K miles.

Good luck. 🙄
poor tundra was so out of its element lol. That thing needed a significant lift to compete
