So chill. Thank you Bern. If only the Land Cruiser came in nori green. Looks like I’ll have to get the Lexus just based on color choice alone 😭💚

The best Land Cruisers are, once again, sold by Toyota Gibraltar Stockholdings. They have the Prado (without the Prado badge😢) with the 2.8 liter diesel engine and a 29 gallon tank. The old one had a 40 gallon tank tho...

THANK YOU for finally admitting this is a Prado. Everyone is talking about the “new” Landcruiser, but it’s not. It’s the new Prado, and NOW available in the states. If you want the LC then you either buy an LX600 or leave the country to get the LC300

The Lexus in silver looks so good. Great review!

[NOTSoGoodHikers]

An excellent review Bern that was honest and straightforward. I will admit that street performance of the GX exceeds that of the LC. I previously owned a Lexus RX and bought the LC because i preferred its looks over the GX. It takes some time getting used to the sound of a 4 cylinder motor but i am very happy with my purchase. I think that the LC will be a little better than the GX off road since its approach angle will be its archilles heel.

12:38 Dear Lord the load floor is horrendous😭

Love your reviews!

Since you’ve reviewed both vehicles and i’m talking strictly from a driving perspective acceleration, transmission shifting ( no technology comforts) how does the 550 compare to the 470? Which one did you like better ?

Was excited just at the title of the video. Best line of SUV’s ever made!

[RCooper]

Looking forward to your review of the 2026 4Runner SR5 base model! Might be the best value of these off-roaders🎉

The new land cruiser looks so good. That said... starting at $55k? Jesus

[lunamaria]

The LC front end looks like someone shoehorned in an after thought front end bumper and grill, built with children connect blocks, like Lego lol. The GX front looks like it is a properly manufactured front end lol

[sentiencepsn]

Yeah, I’m good. Sat in the GX550, and saw no reason to upgrade from my 460. By comparison, the GX550 is smaller and more narrow for tall drivers.

The interior materials look and feel worse, and I’m not a fan of the grey plastic on grey plastic theme Lexus has in its new lineup.

I do like the look of heritage version of the Land Cruiser more than the GX550. Dislike the under headlight vents on the GX - that’s a Toyota truck cue, and makes the grille look like Gene Simmons face paint. Rear lockers on the GX550 is nice - the 460 never got those.

Land Cruiser will be the top candidate to replace my 2004 XC90 if it ever croaks (which it refuses to do)😅

[Corvette]

I will keep my 2016 LX 570. . . The gas mileage on the GX 😂 You are kidding me. I get 16-17 in town with the V8

4Runner delayed again. Supply chain issues. Won’t hit dealers now until maybe Jan 2025. Maybe
