indeed , And if you want to drive in the mud you can also but always better wheels on it .

Done nearly 5000 km in my GX now and just love it. Everything I expected plus some

6 months later , what do you think now ?

Wish the prado had the tailgate like the 300 though.... i like the 300 but not sold on it yet

@@PMe-my1td Prado is better value for money. Just needs the 3.3L single turbo engine and they won’t sell many LC300

@@bushmagpie3312 which is why they'll never do it. It takes them decades just to catch up to modern styles, let alone increase the engine size after they have released the 300.

Mark do you really think they do extra welds and frame work. They like everyone else do all that is required. Nothing more nothing less. Just like their leaking air boxes and ground scraping alternators. They build vehicles for profit and not any other reason. Don’t kid yourself they are better or stronger than most other manufacturers!

You win the stupid comment award. Well done.

GX makes sense in comparison to 76, but Nissan Patrol would be my choice if I want to pay that much money. If you are not locked on a certain brand, with that type of money you can get the top spec patrol. Its only major problem is its paint quality, but Toyota does not have the best paint quality either.

Also you cant remove rear seats in the 300 gxl

This is exactly what i was thinking..why did he not try this feature

Yes

Hard touch

@@clipzed Thanks, he spent the whole interior section talking about the 70 series

What was underwhelming about it? I bought my 200 new in 2010, 235K on the clock and she's still mint. I had the engine and transmission remapped a year ago, now getting 850Nm to the road and she will hold 6th at as low as 80 km/h. The 300 GX is appealing to me but I've not driven one, let alone actually seen one, so I'd like to hear you opinion of your experience with the 300 please.

Mate I have also tweaked my 200 series, with a remap, larger PWR intercooler with thermo fans and a ROO systems exhaust. And it made the car so good, especially once a added a lock up torque converter. The issue I had was apart from the stock landcruiser looking knock kneed with the stock rims and tyres, I found the steering ultra light, to the point it was odd not been able to feel the front wheels, I found the 10 speed box to be hunting for gears and all the so called tech was annoying, and yes perhaps I could have spent time to turn all that crap off, ie lane management, it actually is quite violent and I had not expected it. And as for the new powerpant, I found that a yawn, and if I want a car to sound like an old EA falcon, cheaper to buy an ea falcon, i was quite disappointed as I wanted it to be better. Now I am sure you can't make any determination in one day. But I just thought I will now wait and watch the aftermarket guys make them proper, I hope this makes sense

Thanks for the info Andrew. I've been discussing buying the GX with a mate who went to order a GR six months ago and was told the wait was two years ($152K) so he ordered a 76 ($76K) which still hasn't arrived, and in two years he'll buy a GR, sell the 76, probably make $$ on it and laugh all the way to the bank. The issue I have now is that 200s are pulling good dollars, I called my local Toyota dealer and he said the wait is about 6 months now for a GX as Toyota is really ramping up production. They only have the top spec models as demo cars and I can't physically get my hands on a demo GX. I'm seriously torn between keeping the old girl and selling her whilst it's still bringing good money on the used market. First world problem, I know!

It's worth every penny!

Throw in GST, luxury tax and stamp duty and you're getting close to $110,000.

You can either afford one or you can’t.

@@fourbysolo its 96 on-road, LCT is included in the 90k

No amount of money will cure bad drivers

Have a look at when this vid comes. Pay attention to when he said "before on road costs" Realize that since this vid was posted the LC300 has had a couple of price increases. Do these things and understand why your comment is idiotic

@@matthewh8005 Going to all the trouble of making a video and purporting to be be honest then not putting in a proper figure is idiotic. It takes about 30 seconds to find the correct price on Carsales, but maybe there's a reason to be misleading?

@@rowan54 It's because the price has risen since this video was made. Simple. Carsales can update pricing, you can't update a video. This review was well done.

@@dirtmonkey4x435 I am sure people will figure that out, but starting off with a little honesty is always a good thing

No

Have you driven one? I’m 6’ with a long back, this has heaps of room, I can’t drive prados or hiluxes off road I hit my head on the cab grab handle

So you would be under 6’1” then 🙄

🤣

Gx and gxl has volume knobs :)
