#LandCruiser #Toyota #suv
Wow! Dad nailed it about there is an image that people will gravitate toward. Absolutely 👍
you can see it in some of the comments
100% cam to the comments as soon as he said that. I'M A LAND CRUISER GUY
Land cruiser looks better, plus the aftermarket should be great. I really never liked the 4 runner look, the new one is not bad looking though...
I make it simple for you,
Old man is Land cruiser. He is a man of fine taste probably eating best Bourbon and Steaks.
Truck King is 4-Runner man. Without a doubt the king but still discovering about the world. He eats fried chicken and beer.
TK, The big bonus of the Land Cruiser is the more generous headroom. I find it frustrating that Toyota managed to make the interior of the new 4Runner so cramped. 🤨The fact Toyota has given us more 4X4 choices has to be a good thing. Now let's hope they give us an affordable 4X4 choice with their new FJ Cruiser. 🤞
I would still pass. I would still rather have a 2023 GX 460 or an older Land Cruiser. These plastic tiny turbo vehicles are not going to last.
Curious if the FJ will even come to fruition.
@@SaltyDog69 It will go into production but we do not know which markets will receive it.
Great conversation at the end gents! Cheers!
Yeah, I prefer the round headlamps but it’s a bit too barebones. Would prefer the LC trim with the round headlamps.
Yeah, I like the round ones too, but it seems like they purposely made it look "cheap" with those plastic surrounds so that more people get the higher trim.
They could have put a bit more effort into the round headlight trim so that they didn't give off "base model" vibes.
It matters what colour you get with the round headlights. I ordered a 1958 in black. It just looks better than the white truck.
As for getting the 1958…. I just like base and simple. People with all the fancy options screw around too much and don’t get moving. I wanna drive and not look at monitors. Also I just like the cloth on these. It looks awesome. 😎
Apparently the headlight modules will swap between the two styles. Will be interesting to see how many people actually do so. I also wonder if the 3-element lights on the LC trim actually have superior light output vs the single element units on the 1958/launch versions.
Toyota Canada is really overpricing vehicle's. Tundra and Tacoma pricing as increased by 25-30% in 3 years. Shame on you Toyota Canada.
Bidenflation has affected the entire world.
Get educated before you criticize toyota.
I know they sort of mentioned this but if you do convert USD to CAD the CAD price would be even higher. Tell me why it’s not US price that is too high vs CAD price ??
the why is simple. The charge Canadians more because we will pay it. Not nice but it’s a fact.
@TruckKing there could be unknown factors on why selling these vehicles in Canada are not as profitable. Nothing is cut and dry when it comes to pricing. Toyota is in the business of selling trucks to make money. They most likely are not just raising the price in Canada because of some willy nilly reason. I am willing to bet the Canadian government has something to do with added cost for Toyota to sell to Canada.
Father's getting at the aspirational reality of commercialism. "I'm a 4-runner guy" "I'm a Land Cruiser guy." I'm a chevy guy. I'm a GMC diesel guy. Great work guys! Always looking forward to new content.
The Cruiser looks more sophisticated than the 4Runner, In & out
Best reviewers on the internet period thanks boys 🇨🇦🤠
Great video as always. I really like hearing the Steve and Dad conversations. They each bring something different.
Glad you enjoyed it
I agree with dad. Most people buy their vehicles based on their lifestyle and life image. Same reason why a doctor or a lawyer would buy a lexus LX rather than a Hyundai SUV. And it's not because they cannot afford a Hyundai nor cannot drive a Hyundai but rather their lifestyles expect or even call for it. Toyota knows this and that's why they balance marketing and technical details hence making them the biggest car manufacturer in the world.
I am not a doctor or a lawyer. I drive an rx350L. I bought it for the made IN Japan and reliability not because of my socioeconomic status.
It’s actually cheaper in Canada
Current USD to CAD is 1.38
Which means the 55950 USD 1958 would be 77200CAD
I said this way up at the top of the comments…. Exactly what you have. They deleted my comment.
@@charliemcawesome5012 yeah not exactly honest are they😅
I’ve had both. New 1970 Landcruiser ( fantastic) and new 1987 4Runner (underpowered 4 banger). I like the looks of the new 4Runner much better. I still have my 2000 Tacoma, bought new, and is the BEST vehicle I’ve ever owned.
Great overview gentlemen, great to see the Canadian prices, not cheap but it will be interesting to see the prices compared to the runner and the GX
I like the square headlights.
I probably lean towards the land cruiser simply because there’s more overall volume inside. I think it looks better and it has a full-time system with both high and low on its lower trims.
Just bought the LC mid-trim. Tri headlights model. 2 days in and way better than my 4Runner. Night and day difference.
I love round headlights. 1958 was a great year Howard, because my parents were born that year too.
As always, great video, great convo and points at the end. Thank you. The talk really comes down to, especially when talking about the top trims, the Land Cruiser vs 4Runner vs GX if you have some money to play around with. Pricing nowadays continues to make it hard for us Canadians, sadly.
Just subscribed your channel. Good job guys. Loved review..
however it’s just like RAV4 and Grand Highlander. Land Cruiser and Prado (international market small Land Cruiser) so we are getting Prado..
One other reason folks could want the 4Runner is that you can get it without the hybrid and get more storage in the back.
Round headlights got my vote.
Infotainment screen is done a lot better in the landcruiser than the new 4runner
Agree 100%! The 4Runner screen is way too big.
@@dogmanfitness2552 I especially dislike the small screen in the Taco/4R. At least the small screen in the LC and Tundra fit the dash nicely.
If you use a money converter you’ll see that it’s actually cheaper in Canada
Which headlights give the best night visibility? For decades I've insisted on a long night drive in every vehicle I've purchased.
Base 1858 round headlights
I’m more of a practical guy. Back in the 90s, I remember going through the outback in a Landcruiser, and it was almost effortless. That being said, I live in LA, so any suv would be overkill for my needs. My hatchback fits a bike or surfboard easily, and gets great mpg while sitting in traffic.
Round headlights for sure!!!! No competition
I’m really hoping the little FJ becomes reality in December. I want actually smaller off-road vehicles back.
70k for cloth seats and a mechanical twin to a 4Runner for 10-15k more is wild.
I will say it seems like Toyotas dealer model in Canada appears to be going to more of an order based structure. Any Toyota lot I go by there’s hardly any new inventory. So it’s not like at 70k these will be sitting on lots. Toyota is simply only going to build as many as people want in Canada vs supplying lots in the US for dealers to actively try and sell. Does this make any sense to anyone else??
Howard, you are very fortunate to do this with your family
Jeep should always be concerned when they produce the crap they make. It baffles me that people buy them.
Pretty much people that wanted a Jeep 30 years ago - they buy one now not realizing they're actually buying a Fiat with a Jeep badge and a Land Rover price tag. Yeeks.
Don’t be ridiculous. Jeeps are about as capable as you can get and whether you like this vehicle or that vehicle, you can’t deny their place in the market.
And it’s only $1100/ per month for 60 months.
Bargain by any measure.
Your supposed to pay cash for a new car. If you can’t, take the bus, walk, or bike.
That’s right. I always pay cash.
They are actually much cheaper in Canada than here in the states. Not sure why but it’s always been that way.
Canada is not more aggressive with their pricing. If you convert the US pricing to Canadian dollars, it is slightly cheaper in Canada.
LC should have had the V6 turbo.
Over priced in Canada for sure. It’s a small market compared to other countries but where we are currently heading for an economic meltdown (carbon tax, other taxes) and where people are struggling to put food on their table and pay their mortgages the timing is really bad for the Land-cruiser. All auto makers will really have to re-adjust prices or not sell anything. Cool vehicle though.
Landcruiser is a logical next step for previous 4Runner owners. Landcruiser will ultimately be significantly more expensive. However, Landcruiser does offer more luxury, better road performance, arguably better looking, and the Landcruiser legacy name.
What's with the Camry tires? Imagine how capable this would be with even a basic all-terrain tire.
I still have a 4Runner that I bought in 2009 when I was 30 years old. 2 kids and 15 years later, I’ve matured, I’ve had success in life and I prefer to buy a Land Cruiser over another 4Runner. I think I’m the exact target market for this vehicle.
Love both the LC and the 4Runner and would love to own both someday! I lean more towards owning an LC first. I have owned an 87 and 99 4Runner and a 99 LC and I loved the 99 LC by far better than the two 4Runners I owned. But now since the new LC's and 4Runners have many of the same features, it will be interesting which SUV will pull at my heart-strings more. Great job on showing the off-road and on-road capabilities of the new LC. You guys are the first I have seen to do that...thanks!
Born in ‘58 also - Old Guys Rule👍😎!!
I’d love to see you compare this with an Ineos Grenadier!
IMO Toyota blew it. Overcomplicated, over-styled, overpriced and went away from what made their 4x4's so popular in the first place. Adding a snail and a hybrid system to gain marginal improvements in MPG and towing while sacrificing simplistic longevity was not a worth trade off.
I totally agree ! 🤪
The 2.4T had nothing to do with MPG, it's all driven by emission mandates. While not as simplistic as a naturally aspired V6, the system is about as basic as you can get for a turbo engine. Toyota used mechanical parts everywhere they could. VVT is mechanical both on the the intake and exhaust side, and the turbo actuator is mechanical unlike the electronically controlled actuators on the TTV6. The engine is also an under square design which is a large part why peak torque comes in at 1700 rpm. I'm willing to bet the distain for the 2.4T will quickly fade once they start getting into consumer hands.
@@redtitan29 That's a fair rebuttal - appreciate the comment!
@@redtitan29what country are you in? I have yet to see anything that Toyota went to the 4cylinder turbo because of emission mandates
@@JohnDoe-wy2py I'm in the US. Automakers have less than 2 years to meet major emission regulations that will continue getting stricter each of the following 4 years there after. They are so strict that many gasoline engines will begin using particulate filters similar to what diesel engines are required to use today.
Just look at the power these new crop of engines are putting out. If efficiency was the goal, hybrid systems used on Toyota trucks for example would be designed to increase mpg, but instead they're used to increase power output.
Which has better droop. Part of the reason the LC sits lower is actually better for wheel droop when off roading, right? Lifting vehicle loses droop for tires to stay on the ground, no? Fairly sure the Land Cruiser is actually more capable than the 4R, not the other way around. LC also has full time 4x4 and 4R is part time which I think is less capable, maybe?
Jeep Wrangler is in a league of its own.
First car was a 1974 landcruiser FJ40, since then, I've owned an 80, 100, and now a 200 series landcruiser. 4runners are neat but it's nor a cruiser. But now it's almost like they're the same with different features. Either way love toyotas
Great review! Looking forward to more 4 runner vs landcruiser videos. We would probably go with the rectangular headlights. Thanks guys!
There shouldn't be square headlights. Love the round. The one thing I can't get over is how cheap the car sounds when you shut or slam a car door. Is it Cybertruck bad? Yeah, it's probably Cybertruck bad. On the bright side, it's nice having options with the Lexus and 4Runner options.
Land Cruiser is now the official Toyota Mall Crawler. I'm sure it will do fine on dirt roads which will cover 99.8% of buyers on anything they'll want to do. There's no point comparing this any serious off road vehicles because frankly it's way too big and no way at all a complex hybrid system makes any sense in that role.
15:28 I like the new Toyota/Lexus body on frame SUV’s. A lot. Might grab a GX550 in a few years once the dealerships are done taking advantage of the first and 2nd year customers. But I’m calling it now. This segment is still big enough now thanks to the “human malware event of unknown origin” that inspired many to van life it and go “overlanding” instead of working. But it’s gonna dry up again as does any enthusiast segment. I give the LC about 5+ years and it will die like the FJ because the segment is too crowded and it’s the in-betweener of the trio. I hope I’m wrong and this comment doesn’t “age well”. But I fear I just might be correct. Cheers for now and see you back here in the comments in 5-6 years, internet!
I'd call this a competitor for the subaru outback tbh. in the modern day both seem to serve similar purposes. Nobody is going rock crawling in either of those but for a general purpose adventure machine I could see them as competition.
THis has less ground clearance than the 4runner so I don't think even the 4runner is worried lol
Angle of approach and departure and break over angle are also key.
I have a 2019 200 series and enjoy everything except the fuel economy and touchscreen stereo/climate control system. The newer options in North America really didn’t seem that much better.
Can you imagine trying to work on a hybrid in the back country?
😃 You won’t even find a Toyota dealer in small towns but you will find a Ford and/or Jeep dealer.
I like the round headlights better. I’m surprised they didn’t move the trailer light connection, it’s the same location on the 4Runner and it’s a pain getting on your knees to hook up lights. Also, I think most people will buy the cheaper option due to the current economic climate.
SQAURE HEADLIGHTS!!!!
I prefer the round headlights. But it's probably low in features.
I Think toyota had a miss not putting a third row in the Land Cruiser. To me, the Land Cruiser should have some extra flip down seats or something in the back and the 4runner should be the two row off roader. I think of the land cruiser more as the safari ride. not the rock crawler.
I noticed the 1958 doesn’t offer the front stabilizer disconnect. Do you guys think it makes that much of a difference off road? I know it’s independent suspension, so I wonder if it really matters.
Landcruiser is for Toyota fans including current 4Runner owners
4Runner is for bronco and wrangler cross shoppers
People that have never owned a Toyota
Those people won’t go for landcruiser because they don’t appreciate the brand.
That is why 4Runner has the laptop on the dash and landcruiser doesn’t.
Landcruiser customers know what they want and the base version will be the big seller.
Toyota knows this.
Customers will trade 4Runners for landcruiser and 4Runner will get customers from other brands.
That is the thinking
Thank me later😅
Agreed. And Jeeps and Broncos are for cross dressers.
Like the vehicle but Canadian prices are insane.
Round for sure. 😊
What about the headroom and shoulder room compared with the 4runner ? is it smaller ? do you feel tighter ? Does somene 6'4 feel okey in this Landcruiser ? i didnt see a moonroof. Any thoughts for tall people ?
Is there a front locker differential on this? It sure doesn't look like it from your video shot of the switches...
Otherwise, I'm not sure what Toyota are basing their credentials on...
Or does brake-based traction control make up for the lack of front locking differential?
Because I know the Land Cruiser 300 series has a front locker, and I think the Lexus might too?
Honestly the headlight style should have been a selectable option.
I was waiting for it here in Canada, but I will not pay there ridiculous Canadian pricing
In the UK we have 2.8L diesel only and its then home land of land rover. Similar price vs new defender 110 d250. Hard choice(no reliability arguement again please😂)
Nice but don’t think my wife will give up her Jeep for it, and I certainly won’t give up my Bronco. Good review. 😎
In Europe the price starts with 80,000 Euro to 100,000 Euro which is way too expensive
Always wanted a 80 series Land Cruiser, when they announced that the Land Cruiser was coming back to the states at a more affordable price..Why not get a modern Land Cruiser…Plus I work for Toyota, getting a killer price on one
GX Overtrail > new “LC” in murica. LC looks good except for the front end on all trims.
Give me that 58, but why is it only available in 3 boring colors? Gimme some strong reds, blues, or a nice green.
The color choices are limited so they are pushing you up on the trim ladder so you will spend more money. 🤦♂️
@@is6566 Going to the higher trim only adds the yellow and the blue and different whites or blacks
But there are still more colors.
round headlights with the cloth seats. powered hatch is a no.
Gives me bronco vibes. 2025 4 Runner looks better and does the same
This thing may very well get me to open up my rusty wallet.
I like the LC quite a bit, but dang $56k in USA is steep. Thats previous limited 4runner pricing.
LC in other markets has roof ac vents and 3rd row. So if you have passengers regularly (a small family) I think lc would be a better option. Two people and more offroad 4R. Personally I'll first look at lc 300.
This LC250 has 3rd row seats in other markets because certain markets gets diesel or non-hybrid gas engines. The battery for the hybrid takes the space where the third row would be.
I don't know why Toyota and all other manufacturers go so high in Canada compared to USA! Canada is a smaller market (population wise) but the difference isn't justified!
I don't understand why Toyota design land cruiser's engin to require premium gas and not regular gas...
Love it! Square headlights…
Surprised that MTS and trail cameras aren’t standard. My TRD Pro has them and is cheaper. These aren’t different enough from the upcoming 4Runner. I don’t see Toyota’s logic.
Landcuriser for North America. To bad its not a world Landcuriser like a 79 series or 200 series like Australia gets. But would certainly take the 1958 edition with round headlights. Great suspension movement while wheeling. Noticed in video footage.
Land Cruiser - Upper Class / 4Runner - MIddle Class
I'm going to skip both the Land Cruiser and the 4Runner. I was really hoping Toyota wouldn't follow what every other vehicle manufacturer is doing by making it bigger. When you're out on those back roads you want something nimble to choose the best line and make it around obstacles. Vehicles are getting too big. The new Taco is even worse.
When talking about price, you forgot to tell everyone that in Canada we do not get many options for our Toyotas like the USA.
The Tacoma options here are asinine. If you want a short bed you’re stuck with a manual transmission!
Excellent review as always!!! 😁
Did he really just say he thought it was fairly priced? Wtf? It's worth maybe 40k with power seats
Toyota Canada is pricing themselves out of the market, that is just ridiculous.
I disagree. I think they’re just approaching the market differently, at least that’s my theory. Go to any Toyota lot in Canada and they might have 1-2 new vehicles of each model, if that. They’re all order based now, so Toyota only needs to build what customers order in Canada. If they don’t have many orders, they simply won’t spend the money to build them for Canada. Again just a theory but I have no other answer for why Toyota Dealers in Canada still have so few cars on their lots..
Round lights
This type of vehicles should not have hybrid system. You add more weight and you lose cargo space.
The land cruiser is cheaper in Canada than the US, when converting USD To CAD.
Prefer the ROUND lights and a V6 (non-turbo).
Does the rear seats fold flat?
They don't
1958 has stabar disconnect?
Square headlights
$94000 CAD is only $68000 USD. That’s a bargain by comparison to the US price of $75000. Not sure what you’re complaining about.
I like the square head light
Round headlights
Everything is supposed to make Jeep afraid.. yet look at catalogs and prices for aftermarket mods and used parts supply .thats where Jeeps win.. half the costs for similar mods like bumpers , doors
etc.
And about 10x the choice for Jeep products. Even looking at the Bronco vs Jeep aftermarket scene. Way more Jeep choices for same product and the Bronco was brought back 4 years ago with the explicit goal of being Jeep Wrangler competitor with same features (removable doors, roof etc).
Half the cost for the Jeep mods but about 12 times the cost in repairs!
@@mikelaughlin270 Have a Gladiator and a Tacoma. They cost the same to repair so far. Zero. Just oil changes.
@@gs98999 Obviously you haven't had the Gladiator very long.
@@mikelaughlin270no comment 😂
