I have a 2015 land cruiser and I thought the turn assist was sort of silly gimmick until I needed it. Entered down a muddy road cloaked by snow and flanked by deep ditches. By the time I realized this was a mistake it was going to be very difficult to back my way out. Turn assist has absolutely saved me from going intothe ditch multiple times.
Great review. Love my 200 series Land Cruiser. Price is mentioned often, but these are made with the comfort of a Range Rover and the drive train durability closer to the classic Defender. You can drive hundreds of miles in a 200 series with all 7 passengers feeling like they are traveling in first class comfort. And, you’d have to look under the car to see how tough the vehicle is built. Land Cruisers are in a different class of their own, and are 100% made in Japan with factories dedicated to making these vehicles to the highest quality standard.
This thing is amazing, it's absolutely bullet proof. The only thing putting me off isn't necessarily the amount of fuel it drinks and the cost involved, it's having to fill up so often!
Bought one today! Delivery in Johannesburg only in March 2021. Compares favourably to wife's Range Rover being 2x the price. I am worried Wife will love this more than Land Rover product after a few drives.
Nothing beats this off-roader King and it’s been tested and tested for decades in Australian’s vast harsh land, from snowy mountains to sunshine beach, from Simpson desert to top end rainforest, from remote mining camps to large farm lands, from towing heavy caravan or a fishing boat to a weekend kids footy drop off, it’s truely an unbreakable SUV. Thanks to Toyotas superb reliability and strong resale value it’s worth every penny ( top spec model costs AUD $120k here similar price to a BMW X5) !! Really looking forward to the next series maybe later this year so I can replace my Hilux. Thanks for the video mate and stay safe.
I have a 2019 4Runner TRD Off Road with KDSS and I admit i never undertood the dealers over complicated explanation in how it works.. Your brief explanation made PERFECT sense.. Thanks a bunch!!!!
Been waiting for one to come in for me to take a drive. Think its awesome just a couple of things to check out. Also could care less about apple car play or the cars nav. Waz and Sirrus is all I need from my phone.
When one buys this car, they don't buy it for fuel economy, high tech features etc etc, you buy it and keep it forever, you buy an icon that stands out from everything on the road.
Land Rover's have also done all of this too. Besides I only plan on taking it into North Georgia, Arkansas, and similar places. Just put a good warranty on the Land Rover and it will be fine.
@@atlscorpatlscorp2620 When SF guys tell you on a podcast that the rover sucked and the land cruiser is what they'd take on missions in africa... that tells you something
The sun will explode in billions of years, and the last things to see that will be the rocks, the sand, cockroaches, and the Land Cruiser. When you buy one, there should be a wedding ceremony....and the Land Cruiser will outlive you.
True. The suspension system first appeared on the GX, but we shouldn’t have said it was the Lexus variant. We even filmed an LX a couple years ago noting it was a land cruiser under the skin. 🤷🏻♂️
@@alexanderup6095 Wash the chassis now and again. I have a GX right now. At the end and start of summer I usually hose down the chassis, use those foam brushes that remove most contaminants, then hit it with Inox MX3. Picked that little trick up from Ronny Dahl. Unlike WD40 that goops up and drips this self levels and clings to the chassis. Prevents a ton of rust issues in general. My GX has 205k miles on it now so it did go most of its life without it. Even in the snow belt a lot less mud and snow cake up on the chassis and rust is not a concern at all any more. Just make sure to hose down now and again. www.amazon.com/INOX-MX3-100g-Inox-Small/dp/B004RZOA0A
We are a family of Land Cruisers, we have a 1978 40series with 257k km, a 2005 120 series with 500k km and a 2018 150 series with 110k km, not a single glitch. We use them for work (vineyards, olive orchards) and fun... love these cars and they are so low maintenance. The 200 series is a bit big the type of roads we use otherwise we would have on. :) (we always buy used so the “new price” is not a thing to consider.
My dad has a 99. It’s been the biggest and baddest vehicle I’ve ever seen. If Toyota one day makes the land cruiser more affordable it’d be a killer on the market. I mean just imagine a land cruiser that’s not that expensive
Nothing else can take my family of 6 and all our gear to the ends of the earth like this thing can. Now to wait for 10 years until I can afford the 2020.
I salute the one who named it as "Land Cruiser " - Toyota does not required an advertisement or marketing for this suv ... They just need to tell "As same as the name "
Best LC review video I’ve seen thus far! Esp for off roading capabilities! I bought the heritage and love it! I was gonna buy a 4Runner, TRD pro, but then test drove the LC.. and the difference in the drive was crazy! Smooth!
The Landcruiser is unnecessarily expensive in the US. In other parts of the world one can get equally capable landcruiser with less luxury features for much less. People who want to use the landcruiser to the full potential will not be buying the luxury US version.
it is expensive everywhere and also very popular. I just can't understand why it is popular and expensive given the many way better european and american options that perform way better on and off road?
@@sifx.z1524 - so wrong on so many levels. I've had my 97 for 18 years now, brought my son home from the hospital with it, now he drives it. Front center and rear lockers from the factory back then. Now they have a mode that will get you unstuck buried to the frame. Nothing here in America comes close nor will last anywhere as long as a Land Cruiser
I myself have the same car in black colour. I live in Pakistan and here it's used mostly by ministers and business tycoons. I'm really enjoying it and it's really a head turner in Pakistan.
These off-roaders only make sense with a 3L Diesel engine unless you own a gas station! Awesome car! Can't wait to see the new version LC300 later this year
Many People Hate Land Cruiser because it doesn't have that Technology compared to the others at the same price segment but , Land Cruiser are made for LC lovers 💪
An important difference to note between the LC and 4Runner TRD PRO is the 3rd row option in the LC not just the close turn option. This feature alone makes the LC much more attractive IMO.
tried dubai desert safari tour in this legendary car. 99% of the operators use lc & only saw only 1 hummer h2. the operator inform only lc is reliable enough for long term desert tour - as getting stuck with a breakdown in the midst of desert is their worst nightmare
Someone says, if your father buy a Toyota for you and says you can get a new one when I this car is broken. You probably will only have this car in you life.😂
minor correction - the Torsen center diff has a nominal 40:60 torque split (not max) but if can transfer more or less as needed. Based on documents I found it looks like up the split can go from 53:47 to 29:71 F:R while being unlocked, and of course O:100 to 100:0 locked. It's a killer system in that unlocked you have Quattro level AWD and locked you have true 4WD and you can pick your poison. Unlock 4-lo means crazy tight turning with no scrubbing while still having 4 lo speeds. Thats how you have to use the OTA function as well, with the center unlocked. Same story as my GX470 which is glued on and off-road.
@@drivingsports how interesting. Its definitely nominal not max since the torsen gearset is naturally geared rear bias. Then again I've found critical typo's in their official brochures (wrong angles) that they acknowledge so I guess it doesn't surprise me so much. This is what I found. its a technical paper about the ins and outs of the Torsen and its fascinating, if a little heavy. pdfs.semanticscholar.org/1e59/16df64c80cd903bdaf6f68d8b1bf93e8b033.pdf
Why not put three torsens on this thing? I mean, I know the cost would increase and likely bust the economy even further, but it would be an absolute beast would it not? Could even make it electronically triple locked. Toyota would never do it, but a guy can dream...
In my country, full option Land Cruiser variant is ZX and its price is $187,000. Whereas high optioned Porsche, Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Land Rover SUV priced lower yet our people prefer LC and interestingly less than 5% take it for serious off road.
I have a LC200, and am finally using it overlanding in China. Love it. So much better than the G Professional i also own. But now i am very tempted to try one of China's modern SUV. Tested the BYD Pao. Very impressed
Great video, really enjoy how you present the vehicles. I love the Land Cruiser but can't afford it just yet. I will probably get a 4Runner TRD OFF ROAD. I will only buy a Toyota or Lexus because I have a long history with Toyota and its quality.
We own 2 four runners. SR5 and Limited. Got rid of the Cadillac and the ML359. We'll NEVER go back......... Looking forward to the new Land Cruiser. I'm hooked............
When it comes to luxury, the land rover defender/range rover would win, but when it comes to reliability, the land cruiser cant be beaten by any SUV in the market
I own a Lexus LX 570 version of the Land Cruiser, and when people ask me about my mpg I always add, "If you have the money to own this vehicle you don't care what the mpg is". The 570 version is hands down the absolute best vehicle I have ever owned, and I have owned several incredible vehicles over my lifetime. None of them compare to the Lexus LX 570.
For $90K the Land Cruise should get the locking diffs like the 4Runners so Land cruiser 200 can be capable off-road as a 4Runner. Yes the Terrain management and crawl control is good but a locking diff is way way better than electronic systems. Too bad USA market does not get the real Land cruisers like in Asia, Africa, Australia,etc have, the 70 series.
Lion Runner I agree, also size and weight matters off-road and it is not an advantage of the LC. I hope the rumors are true they're bringing a stripped down rugged version to the US
@@fouUili684 if they come with solid axles (front+rear) and a better fuel tank it would be so awesome. If its a IFS that's no good. Toyota definitely need to bring something better than a 4Runner to compete with a Jeep Wrangler in terms of off-roadability. I'm absolutely not a fan 4Runner been IFS despite all the offroad tech.
To answer your question sir, if money were no object, i would get the LC200. I dont need the car to steer, ill be driving, i dont need hi-rez/hi tech, i have computers and a modern smart phone for that. but what i would be buying is an auto that would last anywhere from 300-500k miles, mostly only needing the normal scheduled maintenance. Some may want to trade in their cars/trucks every 3-6 years, but id spend the money and just own this vehicle for 10-15 and be happy about it. There are several youtube vids about people or reviewers who own 6, 10, 15, 20, 25 yr old Land Cruisers and they still run very very well with very little being done to them. That is the kind of dependability I would want out of a vehicle. The only next-car i would buy after my current 5th Gen 4Runner is a LandCruiser 200 series...
This is easily the most respected product Toyota makes, even over their long serving Camry and Corolla sedans. I just want them to modernize it and the LX so more people would consider it.
Another great video 👍🏻 This spec is about £55k new in the Uk with a 2.8 diesel (only engine option ). So not bad for what your getting. $89k is high though. Stay safe 🙂
The Prado is the Lexus GX460. Different engine and specifications, but basically the same vehicle and chassis. LC200 and LX570 are based on the same vehicle.
My 2013 has Multi-Terrain Select and I’ve never had to use it or the turn assist feature, but I feel reassured in knowing they’re just a button away. 😊
Sorry, me again. KDSS was developed for the 120 series Prado by an Australian company for their domestic market (the GX470 is the same vehicle but Lexus). Its always active and is never "disabled", its a hydraulically cross linked sway bar. It doesn't "disconnect" the sway bar, its always connected. It actually hydraulically forces the sway bar apart with cross axle articulation and forces the sway bar to stiffen with same side loading (turning) which allows for a much stiffer sway bar without affecting off-road composure or comfort. Its better than a sway bar disconnect in a number of ways.
While I won't dispute the Land Cruiser's capability, the price in North America certainly makes the 4Runner look like a better deal, especially if you go used.
Only we know what is the value of land Cruiser and land Cruiser pickup in 56 degree of hot climate with 4 hour 4 wheel drive still car is fresh All other car have faild this hot temperature test 1998 model till
D.S. TV... nice video honestly it was. However you point out the price point and the few obvious differences or tools that the Land Cruiser offers and some similarities with other Toyota offerings as well as the fact that you can get a G-wagon for near that same money. Here’s the thing, the Land Cruiser has intangibles that the other Toyota trucks don’t offer. Every land cruiser is built extra tough and so on many features you may often over look like the fact that is built to last 25 years before any part failures. Other than oil changes and tires and other typical routine maintenance the Land Cruiser should not fail. It also is the Toyota badge that attacks the Land Cruiser customers when bought new. It’s typically a business owner that doesn’t want to show up places looking like a show off to his or her employees. They don’t want to be seen in a Lexus or Mercedes when the average person sees them they may assume it is a 4Runner. But they get the quiet comfortable ride like a high end luxury vehicle. They typically own Mercedes and other high end vehicles but want something less in your face to drive as a daily driver. -
Nice demo, and yeah that CRAWL system sounds so awkward. My RC crawler has the turn assist feature which they called it a "dig" feature. I am sure Toyota went pretty conservative on the tuning of this feature because theoretically, you could make the car rotate at its inner rear wheel at the cost of its mechanical lifespan.
I have a 2015 land cruiser and I thought the turn assist was sort of silly gimmick until I needed it. Entered down a muddy road cloaked by snow and flanked by deep ditches. By the time I realized this was a mistake it was going to be very difficult to back my way out. Turn assist has absolutely saved me from going intothe ditch multiple times.
Toyota has spent countless days in the R&D dungeon to get it as close to perfect!!!!!👌
Landcruiser is also one of the best overlanding vehicles. It can cross continents in comfort and without compromise.
And not break down on the way
seen a lot of people reviewing the LC but never seen the turn control being used,thank u for the revelation.
Yup
Yeah probably the reviewers didnt know about it
Some lower options like my fathers 200 gxr trim models doesnt have it
This is the Swiss army knife of SUVs...
I lived in North Africa, LCs are the only cars that pass the test of time -- and they off-road like the best out there. They are legendary.

I dont need the car to steer, ill be driving, i dont need hi-rez/hi tech, i have computers and a modern smart phone for that. but what i would be buying is an auto that would last anywhere from 300-500k miles, mostly only needing the normal scheduled maintenance. Some may want to trade in their cars/trucks every 3-6 years, but id spend the money and just own this vehicle for 10-15 and be happy about it. There are several youtube vids about people or reviewers who own 6, 10, 15, 20, 25 yr old Land Cruisers and they still run very very well with very little being done to them. That is the kind of dependability I would want out of a vehicle.
The only next-car i would buy after my current 5th Gen 4Runner is a LandCruiser 200 series...
Toyota land cruiser rock solid suv, G wagon can't compare to it even with more features. Good video 😎👍
This is easily the most respected product Toyota makes, even over their long serving Camry and Corolla sedans. I just want them to modernize it and the LX so more people would consider it.
Got a 2019 LC 200 in 2024. It’s a beast!
Just got a 2018 with 26k miles I love it so far
Is that the zx varient
Excellent video
Forever landcruser❤
Another great video 👍🏻
This spec is about £55k new in the Uk with a 2.8 diesel (only engine option ). So not bad for what your getting. $89k is high though.
Stay safe 🙂
My understanding is that you cannot buy a 200 series landcruiser in the UK. Only the smaller Prado version.
@@jcpoiuy You are right,in Europe we have the "150"(prado).I think that the 200 is available in Russia and Ucraine.
The Prado is the Lexus GX460. Different engine and specifications, but basically the same vehicle and chassis. LC200 and LX570 are based on the same vehicle.
@@alexs3187 Prados are the 90,120,150 and some of the 70(79G and 71G) and the lexus gx.The LX is an LC.
strofimios you are correct, I meant Lexus GX460 not LX460. I have corrected my post.
Took my 2005 Cruiser off-roading today to the mountain. There’s nothing this car cannot do fr
I love this vehicle. A true off-road amazon, Toyota should definitely not discontinue this vehicle because it's been in their blood for a long time.
Love the review. New subscriber here.
My 2013 has Multi-Terrain Select and I’ve never had to use it or the turn assist feature, but I feel reassured in knowing they’re just a button away. 😊
Great video! Thanks.
Wow it was raely nice video good job my dear thanks
Sorry, me again. KDSS was developed for the 120 series Prado by an Australian company for their domestic market (the GX470 is the same vehicle but Lexus). Its always active and is never "disabled", its a hydraulically cross linked sway bar. It doesn't "disconnect" the sway bar, its always connected. It actually hydraulically forces the sway bar apart with cross axle articulation and forces the sway bar to stiffen with same side loading (turning) which allows for a much stiffer sway bar without affecting off-road composure or comfort. Its better than a sway bar disconnect in a number of ways.
My limited 2021 nightshade has the same 4x4 system and is also Full time 4x4.
While I won't dispute the Land Cruiser's capability, the price in North America certainly makes the 4Runner look like a better deal, especially if you go used.
Absolutely sensible point.
Only we know what is the value of land Cruiser and land Cruiser pickup in 56 degree of hot climate with 4 hour 4 wheel drive still car is fresh
All other car have faild this hot temperature test
1998 model till
Where did you get that jacket tho?
Press launch for the Toyota Camry all wheel drive.
8MI NT8 I wanted to ask the same question💪
Where did you get that awesome down jacket
I'm amazed watching the new Toyota, my vehicle is the first Toyota ever invented in 1977.
What was that departure angle again?
Land Cruisers FOREVER
Please make a video on one of tesla cars..really love to see that
Where did u record these videos? 👍👌
D.S. TV... nice video honestly it was. However you point out the price point and the few obvious differences or tools that the Land Cruiser offers and some similarities with other Toyota offerings as well as the fact that you can get a G-wagon for near that same money. Here’s the thing, the Land Cruiser has intangibles that the other Toyota trucks don’t offer. Every land cruiser is built extra tough and so on many features you may often over look like the fact that is built to last 25 years before any part failures. Other than oil changes and tires and other typical routine maintenance the Land Cruiser should not fail. It also is the Toyota badge that attacks the Land Cruiser customers when bought new. It’s typically a business owner that doesn’t want to show up places looking like a show off to his or her employees. They don’t want to be seen in a Lexus or Mercedes when the average person sees them they may assume it is a 4Runner. But they get the quiet comfortable ride like a high end luxury vehicle. They typically own Mercedes and other high end vehicles but want something less in your face to drive as a daily driver. -
Nice demo, and yeah that CRAWL system sounds so awkward. My RC crawler has the turn assist feature which they called it a "dig" feature. I am sure Toyota went pretty conservative on the tuning of this feature because theoretically, you could make the car rotate at its inner rear wheel at the cost of its mechanical lifespan.
Yeah they’re absolutely sick vehicles. I love em. But towing power aside, imagine putting $40k worth of modifications into a 4runner.
This will last forever unlike a Range Rover or a Mercedes.
Land Cruiser customers don’t care about there Navigation screen or phone integration bc they only listen to AM talk radio on the way to work lol
