"Mighty off road ability and good reliability make the Toyota Land Cruiser a bulletproof 4x4, but it lacks the comfort of rivals like the Land Rover Discovery 4." Авто/Мото
You don't buy it for it's looks. You buy it because you need a beast. If you live in West London you buy an X5 or Cayenne or Q7 because you care what other people think. If you live on a farm or in the desert you buy a Land Cruiser because you don't care what other people think. It gets the job done, no questions, no frills.
Amen to "it gets the job done..." part.
Flat Eric absolutely true - I live in Australia and when you “go bush” there is no other beast you want to be in.
Exactly! It's a capable truck! Amazing features! good for farmers and those who live in rural areas where muddy tracks is a everyday thingi!!
Thumbs up mate this is a straight up machine not for posers!
If you want something that'll still be going in 30yrs with 300k Miles this is it
Obviously, the people commenting have never been to the Australian outback. Try taking some of those British and European faux 4x4s and you will have a long walk home. Toyota is the one.
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.

@@hawkesworth1712 meaning?
@@brotherdj777. Because your comment was about some ridiculous bronze age being that has no place in the 21st century.
Even more so since it's the only thing you could come up with on a Toyota video

The real value of these cars you see when you resell them after 8 years! And then you see that reliability pays off! And for me a Landcruiser isn't a real SUV it is much more!!
It has been 8 years, Did it pay off?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Landcruiser the best of them all . I live in a city and drive one still amazing 👍🏽
Finally, a British confessed about the poor quality of Range Rover LOL
I know lol that's a first
You're wrong: Top Gear has repeatedly called it the least reliable car in the world.
except when it breaks down it does only break down however whenever theres a week in the month
Master Yoda u dobt no about cars
Christ Bk lol you must be British
My favorite all time SUV, built like a tank.
In case of an apocalypse, this is what you want to be driving in.
Cough...cough...cough...Mercedes g class 6x6
Mikolaj Lukasik Cough*NO MONEY*cough
Yas The Defender cough....cough......cough...good point
Yas The Defender it would still be better in a zombie apocalypse
Mikolaj Lukasik Sure.
But it doesn't look like i'll ever be able to afford one :p
So am I the only one that doesn't think the Land Cruiser is not ugly?
No, you are not the only one...
wtrdogg20 He used two negatives which cancel each other out. He is bascially asking if he's the only one that thinks its ugly. Which means you're wrong when you say he is.
lostn65 Fixed... Thanks, I was probably sleepy when I checked his comment hahahah!
I agree with you. Lc is not ugly
Thank you!
The version with the spare wheel attached to the outside of the boot inside a cover actually looks better at the back than the one without it.
When car buyer was the best car review channel...
Now carwow is the best
I'm from a small island nation in the South Pacific called Fiji, Northeast of Australia... And this giant is a ruler on our roads! Most Government Ministries uses it due to it capability!!
There is a lever on the middle row tilt and slide seat Matt! You don’t need to reach over to the back of the middle seat for the release lever. It’s located at hip level and very obvious when you open the passenger side rear door.The one you pulled was for someone sitting in the third row to pull in order to exit the car if there was no one sitting in the middle row…
I have the Lexus version of this. I actually wanted a full size Land Cruiser V8, but it was almost 85K for the same level of equipment. It's an amazing vehicle nevertheless. I recently switched from driving Infiniti and Nissan SUVs, and I must say, Toyota is making some really nice products nowadays.
Travel with Mat or Rebecca and you'll never be hungry!
Anybody else think the front of this looks more like a Jeep cherokee than the new Jeep cherokee?
New Jeep Cherokee looks like Fiat Strada (80's) not the grille but the whole design. That's why it is actually Jeep Aztek.
long term owner: 1 reliability and low cost of maintenance first. 2.aftermarket modification, lifting 2 or 3 inch and KO2 , PRADO is value for money not for show off
Pretty much our 4Runner (same platform and body of a Lexus GX460), ours is even bigger, and the Lexus version is just insane.
Agreed
So Matt had a bagel and Rebecca a banana?? that is odd!
Yay finally added PRADO to the title!
Real quality instead of "initial quality"
Very informative! Nice. I have to agree with the Prado looking like Jaws.
Here in Brasil we love it. Land Cruiser is the best . Tks japan!!!
Have a real sweet spot Land Cruiser Prados and Utes. Used them as run abouts working in the mines in Western Australia over the last few years having driven thousands of kms on unsealed roads I can happily say they are very capable off-road in comparison to lots of the competition and very reliable. Admit they are a bit of a bus on the road but there is plenty of room for 5 adults inside with steel capped boots, hard hats and all. Not really sure why you would want one in the UK though...
Halfway through the video, i realised i wasn't watching carwow
Dad has put 140k miles on this and runs fine. Very reliable
I actually like it when the middle seat is smaller than the side seats in the 2nd row, because then the front seats and the 2nd row side seats are aligned which makes leg room that much more usable since your legs can be straight instead of offset to one side
Good review...
This is what we the customers want true quality instead of garbage
Great car, Reliable!
Resake value of 2014 Prado is 3x higher than 2014 BMW X5
Being toyota you know this car is made to last
I think the looks good ( tough ) its nice to be different from other people and drive something that u not gonna see at every red light
Some people say that its ugly. But personal taste is personal taste. I think its beautiful. And if i had to choose between LR Discovery, Merc GL (GLS), Q7 or Land Cruiser, i would choose Land Cruiser. Why? Well, i want a car that i can take to some unpaved roads and dont worry about it too much. I want a car that is built tough and is reliable. If i ever want to go on a journey of 1000-1500 KM, i want it to be trouble free. Yes, RR Sport looks nice, but its 30-40% more expensive and it breaks down every month, GLS is also a lot more expensive and it has 0 off road stats against the LC. Q7 is not that high, so off road is a no go. And even Porsche is not made for anything else but asphalt. Not to mention double the price. To be realistic, in Europe, for the price of Land Cruiser you cant buy any other capable off road car that is full equiped like Toyota. The brand new one is 75k full. No other comes close.
Great video... but what's the point of the CC if it's nothing like what he says in the video?
Best car i`ve ever had - dependable reliable tough as old boots and handles OK
The most luxurious tank money can buy!
I got same model as shown in this video (3 litre diesel without crawl control) but sadly in my country we have 3 year warranty or 100.000 km on car. But price in UK is enormous 50k pounds is roughly 75k $ and i got mine brand new 2015 from toyota for 60k $. And oh man as i was configuring Prado on UK toyota website there was same color as mine White Pearl for 900 pounds and here i got same color for 300$
It's one of the best off roaders ever & very reliable that's why the UN use them enough said
Eres el único que conozco que no me fallas porque eres el mejor de todos los you tuber
car looks really good in person though
will we see a land cruiser v8 review? :)
Finally a real SUV instead of trash ( x5,x3,q5,q7,discovery,,lr4,mB GL,range Rover,cayenne,toureg)
Can I ask you ask you?,does the Toyota Prado cruise control hung and the car keep going on the road and the cruise control doesn't accept the cancellation when you press its cancel key?
Euros think it's ugly. It really isn't. It just isn't over-styled like some euro cars. However, it is built for ruggedness and reliability - i.e. something that Euros are still trying to get right. If you want reliability in all terrains and all conditions, this is certainly the car for you. It's just a solid vehicle
This truck in the USA is the Lexus GX
hey, why doestn't car buyer do reviews on the land cruiser v8? are they not common in the UK or something?
Still waiting for the new Nissan Qashqai 2014 review!
When are we getting an all-new model?
Why do you never review the actual Land Cruiser? This is just its small brother Prado
True, they should have an L200 Review.
For people saying its ugly, this is not a show car car it is purpose built for off roading. There is the Land Cruiser V8 or the Range Rover for those who want off roading ability and flair.
I love Landcruiser models, but I'm always uncomfortable with the price when sold in East Africa. The same car sold in Europe can be sold in E. Africa thrice the price!
I really don't know the reason, I however like driving Land cruisers of all ages.
Love this car
It actually Takes upto 13 seconds for this 3.0 D4D with 160hp and 343nm of torque
It's heavy around 2.3 tons
This is the proper offroader unlike some luxury SUVs which are never supposed to leave Tarmac and outside ring roads of cities. If you are in outback, desert or in colombian jungle to your hide out then yu would want reliable and dependable luxury NOT other good looking don't take any where off raod SUVs.
Manual or automatic transmission? Help please!
does it come in the 5 seater version? i dont like d third row
+Shivanand Gunness No, the engine won't start unless you fully unfold the third row and put at least two kids on it.
The best in it's segment, definitely...
The petrol engine its very good. And in the vx model you can get a lot of things like off road camera and suspension adjustment live it... Don't change Toyota prado
That grille looks like a rappers dentist went to work on it
plz can u do a video review of the bigger Toyota landcruiser?
The discovery is reliable? Really???
Of the big 4x4's I'd own this over any Euro one with reliability as the reason, but man, I'd have to be desperate or have an exact need to buy something so expensive and ugly!
what a lovely car
hi, what is the size of those tyres ?
nice family and safe car.
Do u reckon it could roll over on the road while making a sharp turn?
Prolly not
Anyone in 2021?
Here🤣
For what it is, I found it rather impressive.
Does Toyota have an employee called designer or is it the same guy that builds tractors?
My nephew has just bought a 51 plate 150,000 mile land cruiser. I am not sure that it would be a wise buy for many other makes. Even in new vehicles they are sluggish for a vehicle likely to cost £40K plus
Does it ever come in Manual
Great car, real quality
Saw one again in the flesh today. They sure did ruin those headlights. Called a Prado in Australia too.
Do you know how much this cost for a 2011 model (recond) in Malaysia? around 70-80k pounds :) For a Lexus LX570, 2012 model, almost same price as a brand new 2014 Range Rover, yes a Range Rover! Or 160-170k pounds
Is it a race car next week
..in Sabah Borneo, we call it Prado King !
Not really a big fan of Toyota to be honest. Seems to me, minus the integrated fridge, there is precious little difference between this and my 52 plate Land Rover Discovery. Does all the off-road you need it to do and it has reasonable performance on road. Most likely better off with a newer Discovery.
To be honest though, when we change we are looking at a Volkswagon Amarok which is far more suitable for agricultural purposes than this. New Discoveries are far too expensive, even second hand. Though saying that, I would prefer a Discovery.
Cheeky reach-around? XD That's not very PG, Watson!
how old is this video? 5 years? or is Toyota lacking seriously behind?
luv u Toyota 😘
Ain't it a Prado?
In europe the real land cruiser is sold as the "land cruiser V8" available only with top specs, but starts at 70-80k euros it's more of a luxurious vehicle.
this one in the middle east (and america i guess) it's sold as prado, and in europe just as land cruiser, costs less than the land cruiser v8 but it's still costly, and very ugly i don't think they will sell many of these since there's not much need of offroading capabilities in europe.
Maurazio In Africa, where it is a very popular model, it is a Prado as well.
Maurazio
Arthur TheSemiDutch thanks guys! We didn't realise it was called a Prado in other countries. We've added it to the title now!
its like you never read it before ....... land cruiser prado ......
KingStivan who never read what? The title was only changed after the comment.
I actually like the Prado. Good thing Toyota is sticking to a real 4x4 chasis/SUV, unlike Nissan that converted the Pathfinder from a SUV to a crossover.
My boy Matt from carwow
This is a proper 4x4, not a lightweight SUV. It won't suit the urban environment as well but it is much better in remote areas and proper off-road. Outback Australia has plenty of these. It is much more important how it goes than how it looks.
Cool man🚕
Its verey good vedio
I really feel like a rear diff lock should be standard. It's so common is Pajero V80s
I would anyday but this over the unreliable ugly land rovers. Toyota anyday over land rover.
VIRAL VIDEOS do you have a Land Rover . Because they are not that unreliable and they are certainly better looking then this . It looks like it's been crying .
VIRAL VIDEOS but you wouldnt take it over a Lexus.
Look at the young Matt its so funny, I dont know why)))
Have the same car bit never seen the cooler pwr button😂
The screen is bigger than 4.2 inch :))
The time it wasnt carwow
Where is carwow
@a oh
How much is this car now
I live in the us and you have to buy this model as a Lexus and it’s gas
PLS MAKE A VIDEO ON MERCEDES BENZ CLA
Landcruiser the best will still be going strong in 30 years with 300k mileage when the rangrover, Merc etc will be long rusted and gone.
Those who really know drive a Landcruiser.
Posers and fools drive the rest
Isn't this basically a Lexus gx?
They don't sell the big V8 land cruiser in the UK.
If the UK Government allowed LC200 to be sold there they would NEVER have SALES of Range rovers and Land rovers..😂....Reliability.
This car starts base at $78,490+ORC NZD... Over priced if you ask me
NZ GANGG
nice car
nice shoes
