if you want to get there, take a Range Rover. If you want to come back take a Land Cruiser

Come to the Middle East. Land Cruisers are more popular than orange juice.

I like this SUV and always admire them traveling in Saudi Arabian roads! I pray to Allah to own a land-cruiser before I die!

[sulijutt]

no company in this world has made good truck like land crusier.

[Kiddomike]

Very reliable machine. The family was so happy we got all three Cruisers. The LC200, Prado and the FJ.

No one buys? I'm seated at a balcony in Nairobi, and during the short time I've taken to type this, two Land Cruisers have zoomed by. Oh look, a third one.

[snazari]

I was in Dubai for couple weeks and man, I couldn't believe how many land cruisers they were driving. It's insane

TIP: If you watch the video at 1.25X the speed it actually sounds more cohesive and not broken up because of the way the editor pauses in between words.

If you think the Land Cruiser is made for Australia, you haven't been to the Middle East.

[RohanGNair]

Why are you calling it a truck?? ITS THE KING OF SUV'S!!

[amkmkamamakami]

Guys this is for the American market .. The land cruiser has been proven more popular in Australia than any where else .. And for the people calling it cheap .. The Toyota Land Cruiser 200 series Sahara is priced at $136, 785 so stop talking shit about a truck you can't afford.

[saifu]

No one really buys ?? Come down to the Middle East... There are more land cruisers than people ....

[kyleburns]

Great review. As a 20 year land cruiser owner I can say that this guy gets it. It really is a truck in a class of its own

[doodskie]

bulletproof engines I say. the v8 diesel is the way to go, im not talking about fuel economy anyway because people who buy this doesnt even care about the fuel economy, but the torque this thing makes is crazy

[Jubboo]

More than 50% of the SUVs in my country are land cruisers, and we have four variants 😂

[alexstern]

I would argue locking diffs are the most important off road feature. Crawl control is more of a gimmick

[CamberRockerCamber]

I'm having a hilariously fun time reading these comments. lol.

fuck. i want a land cruiser so bad.

[BFG]

one of the best and reliable 4X4 in the world

thank you Steeve. very informative review like always. however just want to point out an important information about how rare is the Land Cruiser as you mentioned, well maybe in north america, but it's not the case for big part of the world, precisely the middle east. for example here in saudi arabia we're one of the biggest car market in the world and guess what ... Land Cruiser has always been the most popular car for ages. in a country that each family has to own an SUV, there's no comparison between american or european SUVs to Land Cruiser due to two main facts; first the Toyota is much durable and capable to the rough hot wild environment and better maintenance. second due to a big favour to the LC that it handles the sandy desert and dunes very well! in contrast to big commercially successful car SUVs that can't handle a mile in our dunes and sandy desert (like Range Rover, Grand Cherokee, Ford Explorer and etc).
thank again, and just wanted to clarify an aspect that am sure large of north american citizens don't appreciate in assessing capable SUVs like Toyota LC or Nissan Patrol.
regards.

Its a 4Runner Limmited with a Landcruizer tag. realistically it doesn't off much more than the Limmited 4runner. Balls and whistles asides the suspension and off road features are indentical including the active control feature.
