Which Land Cruiser is the best ? Answer: Yes.

@pabo8080 9 ай бұрын

People aren't upset about the change from V8 to 4 cylinder because they are worried about power. They are complaining about it because a boosted 4 cylinder with electric assist won't last as long as the under stressed V8 or even the older sixes. You could buy an older Land Cruiser and pass it down to your kids.

Jeff, My first concern is the placement of the spare tire. Just about every serious off road SUV you can name places the spare on the tailgate for ready access and that is not an option as it was on the last Prado. My second concern is the current absence of a 2 door model with manual transmission. For decades the mid-size (Prado) Land Cruiser offered these options.🤔

I love the new LC. I think Toyota nailed it. The 200 series didn't exactly sell like hot cakes. Why? Too expensive. Deplorable gas mileage. Useless 3rd row. And huuuge... (although not that much bigger than this one). Honestly, like you said, this slots perfectly above the 4Runner price wise. I personally hate leather seats, so I'm thrilled about the cloth seats on the 1958 edition. I have been waiting for the new 4Runner, but seeing how close they are priced, I may wait a bit more, wait for the guaranteed dealer markups to die down and just get an LC.

In Australia, that isn't a Land Cruiser - it's the smaller Prado. The Land Cruiser now has a V6 diesel (they dropped the V8 with the intro of the new 300 series). The 2.8 diesel in this new Prado is what we have had here for years in the HiLux ute. They are gutless and known for problems. While this new model is a huge improvement on the current Prado we have here, the engine choice is going to cost them a lot of sales.

But I’m not a fan of any 4cyl twin turbo. Most of the KZfaq poster talking about not caring don’t understand that 200 series LC are going strong and were built before most of them were born.

Don't really think price really came down, because this is basically what the next gen 4runner would have been. GX has always shared the same platform as the 4runner so not a true Land Cruiser like the last gen that was discontinued in 2021. 2024 GX = 2024 4Runner/LC in true terms

@@gotcoke795 That's funny, people around the world who drive a Land Cruiser 70 Series consider it to be the 'true' Land Cruiser. They think of the Prado or 200/300 Series as overweight, over complicated station wagons*. The fact is, the 200 Series sold in appallingly low numbers because Toyota inexplicably priced in on par with the Lexus LX. This more affordable Land Cruiser will sell as fast as Toyota can build them.😁😁

Let's be clear...the Land Cruiser is a vehicle that was NEVER supposed to have a third row. Ever. Some troop carrier configs sort of made sense for the Japanese military back in the day, but that is a whole different configuration. For civilian POV use, this is not primarily a soccer mom tike carrier or similar concrete jungle taxi of whatever sort. It CAN be used for that, but that isn't the focus. That back end is meant for the utility of other gear...and that's assuming you do not take out the second row for the same. 2 rows makes sense. 3 did NOT belong. There are other vehicles for people who need 3 rows.

Thats why I'm in no hurry to get one. I'll stick with my 2005 LC. Since I'm only using it as my weekend vehicle with no issues, might as well wait and get a GX550 used/certified in the future. I'd rather have the turbo 6 over the 4 pot with hybrid. One more thing that will be an issue(battery) in the future.

I can't see myself hating it for any of those reasons. I've been waiting for a reasonably priced SUV that isn't compromised by a 3rd row I would NEVER need (also that isn't a squinty-face Lexus or Land Rover Defender) that has decent offroad ability, will let me toss golf clubs in the back, take mountain bikes out and generally be something I can keep for a long time. I only do 5k miles a year now so this could be another 15 year vehicle for me.

I think that middles 50s price point is unrealistic. Toyota won't make very many units and dealers will have insane markups on the few that they get. Also for the change from a V8 with reliability know to last several hundred thousands miles, there is so much more that can go wrong in a turbo, hybrid setup. There are many more parts involved. Maybe the new power train setup will turn out to be just as reliable as the V8s and Straight 6 models, but because of all of the extra parts involved, it is not as likely in my opinion. If it turns out that you really can purchase one in the mid 50s price range and the power train turns out to be incredibly reliable, then this is going to be an awesome vehicle.

My LX570 weighs 5800 lbs and I can see the benefits of the next generation going on a 1500 lbs diet would help the environment. I remember as a child when GM cut the weight of its full size models such as the Caprice from 4,800 lbs to 4,200 lbs was a big deal. 600 lbs lighter. Other manufacturers followed suit. Then base engines went from 5.7 litres to 5.0 litres. With improvements to transmission, fuel efficiency went from 13/18 to 17/24 which was remarkable from 1975 to 1976.
