“I can’t test it out because it’s raining and muddy…” Wouldn’t that be an ideal weather situation? 😂

[bigusdallastexamas]

I gotta say for my money I think the Land Cruiser is MUCH better looking than the new 4-runner. Full disclosure I've got my name down for a GX550 so I'm probably biased.

[theunknown]

It's so weird Doug doesn't mention this is the Land Cruiser Prado and there's still a "real" Land Cruiser in other countries when he definitely knows it

[DarkTangoFox]

When the "back to basics" lowest tier model starts at $58, 000 with cloth seats, we've missed the mark. Pricing on cars is beyond ridiculous and anyone who pays new car market price or MORE is a fool.

[Wargasm]

Doug, the kind of guy that shows every Toyota SUV ever made in one week.

[rbrt_]

Actually Doug, the Land Cruiser hasn't died; the 300 Series is alive and well, sold everywhere else but the United States.

You're just getting a LC Prado, which has been the “baby” LC since the 80s with the 70 Series, succeeded by the 90, 120, 150 and now the 250.

It doesn’t have a third row because of the hybrid battery. The 4Runners that have a third row are gas only and so is the Lexus GX. I will say, I actually like that it has vents in the back for dogs. And I like that it has cup holders and USB plugs if you are using the cargo area to camp, etc.

"I wanted to off road the Land Cruiser, but it rained." 🤣

[willmtaylor]

The lack of bloated body lines, extra screens, and interior fanfare is exactly what I’d want from a rugged Toyota SUV. The new 4Runners’ interior looks like a the fever dream of a 12-year-old Transformer fanboy. The Land Cruiser design language is more restrained and mature.

[Ahmed]

I think it's more about the fact that some of these cars aren't available in all markets, for example in Saudi Arabia this land cruiser is called the Prado and there is a 300 series land cruiser that isn't sold in america but the 4Runner isnt available in saudi arabia, but there is a different car called the fortuner

[HammerRocks]

The two headlight option harks back to the 60 Sereis Land Cruiser. Where it was offered (in Australia anyway) in circular headlights for the lower variants, and for the top of the range variant, a quad-rectangle headlights.

[scottprewitt]

I think the Land Cruiser is supposed to be more subtle. That's the whole point! No nonsense, just quality.

[doggedlydetermined]

This is really just a modern FJ Cruiser.

[CarCultureColombia]

This isnt the real Land Cruiser, that is the LC300 which we get every where else in the world, this is the new Prado which is why there is all the confusion on the toyota line up

[lgmisfit]

Doug: “It does not say Land Cruiser anywhere!”
Me: 14:05 😑

[edwinattard]

In Australia, the model reviewed here is called the LandCruiser Prado and will be arriving soon. We also have the new 300 series LandCruiser (3.3L V6 Diesel) and the more rugged 70 series (4.5L V8 Diesel) still for sale. All are incredibly popular here

[damilolaakanni]

The Land Cruiser only came back like this in North America and Europe, every other country gets the actual full size Land Cruiser (the 300 series). You can get that with either a 3.3 turbodiesel V6, a 4.0 V6 (the same 1GR-FE as the outgoing 4Runner), and the same 3.5 twin turbo V6 as the LX600. BTW, the Lexus GX doesn't have a 4 cylinder engine, it has never used one.

[abdullahmandugay]

I like it when you make reviews of cars outdoor.

Just watched this vid from the other side of the globe, Philippines!

[numbr]

Love this video. Good one, man. I especially liked the rear wiper part where you say "If you're immature and easily amused, like me!" You are one of the best, Doug. Always entertaining.
