60k for a 4runner with a lift and skids is insane

Im convinced the loan culture in the US has completely eliminated any incentive for manufacturers to keep prices low.

Nobody even considers the actual price anymore, its all about the monthly payment.

Toyota's profit margins must be HUGE. That $70, 000+ Land Cruiser has the interior of a $35, 000 vehicle.

I may be in the minority but I’m a bigger fan of the Land Cruiser’s interior. I think the 4Runner’s is a tad overstyled and won’t age as well. Still, very cool green seats, love those.

I've come to really appreciate the simplicity and reliability of the older gen Toyotas (and price). Nosebleed prices, even though I can afford them are just a non starter.

[johnb-kexi]

crazy we're cross shopping $70k SUV's though when they should be closer to $50k... pricing has become insane. I do appreciate this video! THANKS 🙂

My wife really wants a new 4runner. Her 5th gen 4runner has 240, 000 miles on it. However, given the state of Toyota's current reliability issues and pricing (WTAF is going on there?!), we've decided to keep the old 4runner and wait and see if any issues pop-up with the new 6th gen 'Runners.

It makes no sense to put the same 4Runner engine in the Land Cruiser, which is probably more expensive. The Land Cruiser needed a bigger engine too justify it.

I just got a new 2024 4Runner TRD Off Road premium for a little be less than $46.000, and this is the most I ever pay for a car. I got it because I know this car will run forever, even though is very retro, It will hold the value, it fits my lifestyle and will do everything I need it to do. I didn't want to wait for the new 4Runners that will be more expensive and after the Tundras and Tacomas problems who really wants a $60.000 dollar car that may be a headache.

I cannot even fathom the markups on these!!

[JorgeMartinez-iqtc]

$76, 000 for a 2.4 turbo engine it's crazy

[Toe_Knee_]

Still think 70k for a 4 cylinder turbo with a tiny battery pack is insane.

[georgeday]

I like the full time 4WD on the Landcruisers. I know some trim levels of the 4Runner will offer it, but not the Trail Hunter nor TRD Pro. I have a deposit on the TRD Pro. I wish I could get that option on that trim level. I live in a snowy region in Canada and some days have to drive on-road through patchy ice and snow.

First real non bot comment. New 4Runner looks great and beefy. Really close in size to the Land Cruiser we get in the US.

[paulbradshaw]

I almost waited for the 4Runner but got the LC first edition. Much more mature looking vehicle. Threw on some BFG K03 in 275/70 R18. Looks amazing. Stock tires make it look bad.

Check the suspension bump stops on the 4Runner vs the LC. The new Tacoma has been having issues where the shocks have been breaking the top shock mounts because of that. The 4Runner shares the same poor/defective design as the new Tacoma. The new LandCruiser however has proper frame mounted bump stops.

[KNRS]

I have to admit, both the new 4Runner and Land Cruiser look absolutely beautiful. Toyota really nailed it on these redesigns in the looks. However, I’d wait a few years to see how these new engines hold up since they’re quite a move from the old V8s.

[thomaslam]

I would choose the 4Runner also from the specs and the look! Good video! 👍

[JAP]

I like the exterior of the 4runner, and the interior of the Land Cruiser. I also really would want the Land Cruiser's lockable center Torsen, so that would push me into the Limited or Platinum trims of the 4runner if I were to go that model. At the same time, if you don't care about the MPGs as much, just spend the $70K on the Lexus GX Overtrail and get the twin turbo V6.

Just got out of a gladiator into a 1958 LC. Yes, the LC has proper bump stops. Im tall, and yes the more upright glass and tallness of LC is way better than jeeps. These LC's are built in Japan and not im mexico like the tacos. I went for the cheaper 1958 edition and will build it how I like it without the price tag of the LC LC and 1st edition. The new hybrid max motor is crazy fast and full of fun torque. Pleasant surprise.

The Landcruiser is more cleaner though and I like how more boxy the profile is on the A pillar.
