Sat in one of these at the dealership. Great build and very luxurious and comfortable and I'm 6'6". I don't know how much they'll sell even though the price has been reduced. I may go for the GX over this because I can actually configure the premium GX for $64k with a few packages and standard features that are upgrades that put the Lancruiser over $70k. That's the issue. If a 4 cylinder is pushing over $70k and I can get a v6 for less that's the exact same platform it's an easy choice. Understand that the new landcruiser in the US is the Landcruiser Prado elsewhere except outside the US the exact vehicle body, etc, mostly comes with a turbo diesel. The GX has always been the same body as the Prado hence the body similarity with the new Landcruiser. Before the Landcruiser and the Lexus LX were the same amd now the Landcruiser and the GX are the same so makes sense to get the GX.
Don't listen to the haters ... I have one of these and it is in fact a great daily driver with plenty of grunt and it rules on shitty roads. This review is pretty spot on.
I have a GX 550 Overtrail Plus, however I have driven a 1st Edition LC and loved it! Coming from 12 years with two 5th gen 4Runners, I love the power delivery. I had to supercharge my 2019 4Runner to get it to satisfactory power output
@@StevenJohnsonR Yes it definitely has balls! i have forced myself to stay in eco mode and smoother on the pedal to stay out of trouble. I’m also commuting 90 miles round trip to work on mostly flat freeway to see what the max mpg will be. i’m at 21.7 currently and it’s still climbing
@@toothnail605 I understand, the 4 cylinder engine options have historically been the "affordable" option. My father worked for Toyota Motor Corporation (Japan) for 17 years, in corporate accounting. He explained that Toyota is using the hybrid system in this Land Cruiser and Tacoma to justify the price point. Rather than just over charging for midsized 4x4s with 4 cylinders, like other manufacturers are. I think the price is reasonable with the hybrid system, but would not be otherwise
Haters are gonna hate. Bots are gonna post their BS. In the end this thing is solid, has some serious balls in the power department. I’ve had mine all of 4 days and 130 miles and at 20.9 mpg and climbing. If you’re on the fence with a 1958 and Landcruiser trim go with the LC trim.
I'm not knocking the car at all but I'm struggling to make the advertised fuel economy. 21 mpg......highway. Hopefully it'll improve as the car breaks in.
With price difference in premium fuel here in Canada, the better mpg is negligible to my 2022 TRD Off Road 4Runner. I’ve added 285/70 AT C load tires x 5, and 700 lbs to it (roof tent, roof rack w/window panels, EcoFlow 2kWh pack, 12V 45L fridge, drawer set up, food, water, recovery gear, skin panels, 2 x 100W rigid solar panels, awning, etc) and did a road trip to Tuktoyaktuk (14,600 kms round trip in 13 days). I avg 14.5L / 100 kms pushing it at times, driving easy for most of trip. I figure Land Cruiser would use a bit more fuel with that weight added (say 11.5L / 100 kms vs 10.7L for stock wheels/weight) so this trip I would’ve maybe saved $50 Cdn, or about 1.5% savings in fuel cost.
Do you mind sharing your MPG? Also have you had a chance to test your battery range, like how long can you "idle" with the A/C on? The longest we timed was about 15 minutes with my wife's Rav4 hybrid. 90F outside, full sun and A/C set to 72F. Truly amazing!
I really liked it when I test drove one but being 6’5” , there was just two little room between the steering wheel and the giant center consul. I just plain did not fit, it was ridiculous. It just seems like a vehicle made for the US market would have a little bit more room there. I ended up buying the 2024 forerunner
It is a large vehicle. It is not much smaller than the old Land Cruiser. This new Land Cruiser is over 5,000 lbs dry weight. It is built like a tank. The engine is outstanding and very quick. Well-equipped, the Land Cruiser Premium is around $72k-$75k. Outstanding Land Cruiser and much improved over the outgoing Land Cruiser.
Turbo charging a 4 banger on a big SUV seems stupid to me. Plus not having NA option is disappointing to Toyota enthusiast like me. Will wait for the 4 runner.

Battery should have move further forward to give larger space for in bed storage versus the two small one.........Btw going for the 1958 edition,,dont love the wireless charger..cool box is 50/50..love the disconnect sway bar ..will see if i can get without the wireless charger-

so true the Lexus GX 460/470 was a prado. if the LC200 was more utilitarian ,than the top top luxury trim ,3 row luxury family school bus ,we would have bought more of them .other markets get a LC300gx basic base utilitarian model , steel rims ,cloth interior no 3rd row ,no luxury car bits , plus the LC 70 series

The limited model is definitely a more luxury vehicle than the new generation they are putting out with the higher price tag. Let the fools buy the overpriced “Econo” vehicle that needs premium fuel with a small gas tank that it has.
Major metro area / high traffic dealers maybe not at MSRP yet, but if you can find a less "conveniently located" dealer you should be able to find a mid trim in the 60s at MSRP now.
@@canto_v12 I literally bought right off a major freeway just outside Phoenix… this is all false speculation. If a dealership is adding on “fees” just walk away….

1. Being narrow is a huge advantage for off road. 2. Regardless of fuel cost, the emissions are less to conform to USA standards and that's good. 3. 465ft/lbs of Torque is frickin' legit. I never needed 4wd low for trails I definitely needed it on before.
Another swing and a miss by Toyota. Making this a 4 Cyl turbo hybrid , Toyota engineers messed up big time. Why? I currently drive a 4 Cyl Hybrid SUV that is every bit what this vehicle is, full time 4 wheel drive , locking diff. all the driving features and luxury interior, AND my SUV gets a Solid 37 MPG combined mileage every day. I don't have to use premium gas either. There is nothing my current SUV can't do that this Toyota can. Toyota engineers really seriously have a problem with the iforce max powertrain used in this and the Tacoma as far as they suck gas for no good reason, and the hybrid system is poorly setup. Why would they build a Hybrid that the fuel MPG sucks so bad. This is horrible! Also the huge premium price for this Toyota, is outside reason.
@@jojo4rmdabronx I agree. The Infiniti is a very solid SUV. And they are also sharp vehicles with the right color and packages. And Infiniti is a lot less expensive than a Land Cruiser. I have been a bit disappointed with Infiniti / Nissan after Renault acquired them. Reliability issues. And you must agree....there really isn't another vehicle that has better resale value than a Toyota Land Cruiser and is in more demand--right or wrong. It is what it is and there is a reason for it.
It seems like the new movement in the world is bots, throw bots everywhere in comments to spread hatred. Whats wrong with some people that dont appreciate good things😂😂😂😂😂
It requires premium gas which is currently an extra $1 per gallon, so you get ripped off every week... after paying $70k for an SUV that should probably cost $45k. Enjoy...
No, this car is a big negative. You can only put like 150 pounds in the back anyway takes premium gas and untested hybrid system. I’ll stick to the 4T which is proven and my GH kicks ass.
I was told that the weight restrictions in the back only refer to the small area just above the under floor storage. We’re good to weigh down the rest.
Regarding the hybrid system, which auto maker has more experience than Toyota regarding hybrids? The warranty that Toyota provides for the hybrid system speaks volumes: 10 years 240 000 km for the battery and 8 years 160 000 km for the hybrid system. I think we should be able to sleep well with these warranties!
The 5th gen limited models wernt even this much. This thing is claustrophobic inside like a nissan cube with a slightly lifted suspension.

My 2023 Lexus GX 460 Black Line in Nori Green MSRP was $63K new just a year ago (before dealer discounts.....). Here we see Toyota's adoption of their new slogan: you pay MUCH more, get way less.

@@davidhouston7812but it’s not a real Land Cruiser like the LC200, or the LC300 for example.
It’s an LC250, a Prado.
@@faheemabbas3965 ok even better to my point. The LC 300 series is the LX 600 which no one can afford a $90,000+ vehicle already.
$55,950 price tag defeats the "everyday ride" .... thats an overpriced Prado
Good compromise between Wrangler/Bronco and luxury SUVs like MB/Land Rover
Totally handsome..love it as a gift😊
I hope it's a home run for Toyota, but no third row seating is a deal k*ller for me.
I like it but hardly anyone talks about the weight limit for the back due to the battery being their. The sticker says not to load over 150lbs in the back. That is a huge turn off as a family of 3 will 1 check in suit case each will most likely exceed the weight limit for the back.
That’s just for the small section with the storage cover, not the overall cargo area.
@jrd5403 With all 5 passengers, there is no choice
That limit is not for the while trunk. It is only for the “storage” area.
ck the payload #
Lexus looks horrible! Maybe it is better, maybe it is faster! Not for me...
I love land cruiser!
Needs a third row. All of its competition has one - LR Defender & Discovery, Kia Telluride, Lexus GX550, even the new 4Runner Limited, Grand Cherokee L...
The Lexus GX can be spec'd with the third row.
the 3rd row the fold down seats would be as bad as a sequoia takes up all the cargo space with the hybrid batteries
Pretty expensive
Too bad it doesn’t use regular gas.
It’s tiny and looks like a vehicle that belongs in LEGO city. It has a 4 like the Corolla. It has tons of plastic and cloth seats. Did I mention it’s a tiny vehicle. It costs $58,000 for plastic and cloth seats? Did I mention the Corolla 4 cylinder? My $58,000 is safe from Toyota! Fact!
What new SUV competes at $58k?
@@Lamartian it’s tiny. It narrow and short. It looks like a Lego SUV for Lego City. It has a 4 cylinder. It is full of plastic and cloth. It has a tiny 7” display. I expect more for my $58,000. Cheers!
@@Isovapor $58k doesn't get much these days.
@@Lamartian I bought a luxurious fully loaded foreign made midsize SUV fully loaded with 20” rims and AWD with leather, heated and cooled seats. Not sure what you are even talking about. $58,000 and cloth seats is a no brainer regardless of the vehicle. Cheers!
@@Isovapor You would have named the year and model if you had actually bought a fully loaded mid-sized hybrid SUV. We get it, Kia makes a cheapo non-hybrid SUV. It's not in the same league.
WAY overpriced.
Saw this at an auto show.
Cloth seats, outdated interior design... for the price of a luxury midsize.
No thank you.
4cyl? it is crap
its too expensive :)
Long term reliability sus af tho.
Toyota has been building hybrids for decades. I don’t know why everyone thinks this.
Only because it’s new (tho most of its parts are & have been used in other TM products for a minute). TM has been making hybrid 4 bangers for decades and they’re tops in reliability and durability.
Not really … Toyota does this bro 😎
150,000 miles or 10-year Warranty on the hybrid battery
Looks like a plastic box with a Land Cruiser badge. Outside of Toyota fan boys nobody is falling for the garbage they are producing these days.
You’re right, even this toyota fan here isn’t falling for the new generation trash they are putting out. This thing is a old looking ford escape needing premium fuel and being a hybrid. 🙈
Every day? It eats gas, why would you ever??
bring back 1GR engine! 4 cylinders turbo engine is trash.
says who? this has more power and torque than that old pos
Coz its ugly?
Japanese products, beautiful outside, rubbish inside
yup you buy chevy that breaks down in first 20k, simp
No thanks, lack of technology and fake fuel efficiency (mild hybrid) , call back potentially happens, sick of hearing sorry from Toyota, over priced, Bye Toyota
What more you want in technology? Honest question
you couldn't even afford it to begin with lol
