Get your next watch from Lewis Jewelers: bit.ly/49BbxfU Mention TheTopher and ask for D.K. he'll take great care of you guys!

I wonder how many that watch these videos are from SE Michigan. I can't recommend Lewis Jewelers enough. I bought my wife's engagement/wedding ring there about 10-years ago. Also work on the north side of Ann Arbor, so the normal (not California) first person perspective is somewhat familiar 😂

OMG, look at those seats! I love everything about this. It's such a throwback.

We're def gonna see people swapping in the circular headlight front-end and the cloth seats. Now to find one at MSRP...

The first editions come with the circular headlights according to their website at least 😅

maybe in 3 years stealerships will lower it to 5K above MSRP

@rightlanehog3151 Ай бұрын

Chris, To me the contrasting white roof should be readily available on all grades of Land Cruiser. At least Toyota kept up with the Prado tradition of a higher greenhouse that better accommodates taller drivers and passengers. From what I have seen, the new 4Runner seems paradoxically cramped. In other words, the model specifically aimed at corn-fed, plus-sized Americans and Canadians is smaller inside than the global model that caters to people of a generally smaller stature. 🤔 Going forward, there has been no word of a new 2 Door Prado despite the fact that version has been sold globally for decades. At least the legendary 2TR-FE 2.7 engine lives on as an option overseas. 🤩🤩

Now that you've driven every TNGA-F platform, what does the Land Cruiser provide that the Tacoma/4Runner doesn't provide at the same price point?

Does the 1958 have the same stereo set up as the more expensive trims? Thanks

Prado has always been the landcruiser for the people. Even here in Africa where all models are sold.

@xxichikokoxx Ай бұрын

with the mark ups were almost 10K, your better off buying a GX at that point. LC are at like 79K for a regular LC in So Cal. its absurd.

@jafutube1 Ай бұрын

Where is the testing facility? Is it open to prospective buyers?

@CodyLeslie Ай бұрын

Hey TheTopher, the lc200 and this new one are very nearly the same size. Same wheelbase, same width. The new one is 1.2 inches shorter in length overall and less than 1 inch shorter in height. It’s not way smaller.

@davidnuxoll7074 Ай бұрын

Hwy tires for EPA fuel economy they put it on the base because Toyota predicts the first edition and middle Land Cruiser trim will be the top sellers

@skyblueobsessed4760 Ай бұрын

So glad they are bringing this thing to the UK. For sure a big competitor for the Land Rover Defender.

@brettdixon600 Ай бұрын

GX550 is the way to go. This is basically a 4Runner with Land Cruiser badges.

@Adventure_blac Ай бұрын

How do you call it luxury then basic and simple? Which is it? It’s looks nice but def simple and not at all upspec. The 4 runner looks more cooler/special

I LOVE these new vehicles toyota is putting out buy my goodness are they expensive. Why is the TNGA such an expensive platform? Even adjusted for inflation I don't think toyotas older truck based vehicles were this expensive other than the landcruiser of course.

this trim with leather seats would be perfect for me

@majood245 Ай бұрын

This Land Cruiser Prado 250 looks awesome . And way better than Land Cruiser 300 series with twin turbo V6 The shape looks too good it looks like back to 1980s, and solid frame solid built excellent design In Middle East we have options with engine, the 2.4 turbo non hybrid electric and also it comes with a diesel 2.8 (looks like the Hiluxs pickup truck and fortuner suv) and it is really ashamed with a price, but other than that looks great, in USA and Western Europe countries it called land cruiser, but with Asian East and Middle East and Eastern Europe called Prado, thank you topher guy for this review

@NewIdeas226 Ай бұрын

I hope no one buys this so we can get normal prices again. 56k + markups for a basic off-roader is nuts. Idc what the brand or model is.

@Alex-rl3mj Ай бұрын

I see a dirt road, but I don't see off-road. An ordinary crossover or even a not too low front-wheel drive passenger car can cope with such a road.

@levtsarev Ай бұрын

How can the base model be missing so many features from the higher trims yet still be so expensive? At $56K starting this trim seems like a huge rip-off, comparing it to the middle LC trim. If you REALLY like the cloth seats, round headlights, and slightly smaller screen, I guess this is for you. With all the features that are removed though, I would expect this to start at $50K, not $56K. Why even have the slightly smaller screen on a single trim and have that weird cheap looking bezel around it? Why remove the front camera or the sway-bar disconnect on only a single trim, when this is an off-roader? Why put in the smaller, more-cramped/harder-to-read gauge cluster on only a single trim? All these downgrades do not make this a $56K experience.
