@stratfanstl Ай бұрын

Given that it includes that critical feature to control starfish from attacking traffic cones, this looks poised to sell well. The street acceleration and stability on the rally route indicate the suspension tuning and handling are well designed. Let's hope they have corrected the engine problems. Also the LACK of moon roof is a huge plus. I never use them and they are ASTRONOMICALLY expensive to fix if the seal leaks.

In general, the reviews Sarah conducts are both informative and entertaining. If anyone is interested in purchasing a vehicle her channel is an excellent source for in-depth information. What would be nice is her getting the opportunity to review more performance based vehicles as I think she gets a kick out of it and the audience does as well. The rally stage is a good example of this.

One of the great things about your reviews is the nuances in how you describe things on a vehicle. For example, the fact that the suspension on this is great off-road but the tires are a very poor choice for off-roading. Or the way you describe understeer/oversteer happening. I get such a better sense of the vehicle from your reviews. Great job!

Yes. The 1GD-FTV turbo diesel is one proven engine compared to the 2.5 and 3.5 liter turbo hybrids. The GD is the engine of the Hilux, Prado, Hiace, Innova, and Fortuner, not to mention the 70 series Land Cruiser. It gets superior fuel economy over the legacy 3.5 2GR-FKS and 4.0 liter 1GR-FE V6s while delivering better torque.

30 degree dirt approach with street tires no problem is fairly impressive! Cool review. But if that thing breaks in wild in any way whatsoever, say a stream crossing dislikes electricity and batteries, well, it would be hard to get going again. And it’s a Land Cruiser pointed at the wildlands, etc, so that sort of possible system complexity and fragility might be viewed as a bad thing.
