Apples to apples. Please do this test with two similar SUV’ (or two similar pick-up trucks). Pick-up trucks are light in the back and usually require extra weight in the bed (i.e., sandbags). Thanks.

Since when does Lexus make a Landcruiser

Love the manual being upside down. lol. Dam 5k miles. Lots of fun had on that bike. How much did u spend to get it up to fun status. Well worth it what ever u spent.

Hampton beeech

It’s not the snow tires it’s the dog that makes the difference. The Land Cruiser is obviously scared from the dog and somehow manages to run away from him

Best part of the video was the doggo

try not to run over your dog- not to smart

*Mmm... Yeeeah... I'd be able to take this seriously if you had demonstrated that you put some weight in the bed of the pickup to make it a fair comparison.*

Just got mine, an ‘18. Was looking for a LS430 but it wasn’t easy to find a clean one with documentation so my wife said just get a newer, lower mileage SUV and bingo! The GX light went on. I think the LS430 and the GX are the epitome of Lexus quality and reliability. Thanks for the video, nice job!

The Landcruiser would have been able to get up the hill with regular all seasons anyway because of the extra weight in the rear. But yes of course winter tires are better but that goes without saying

Nothing to see here. A truck with nothing in the bed vs a balanced SUV. The SUV is going to do better every time

That's not a toyota land cruiser

My ex girlfriend has a Subaru Impreza with all seasons, and we lived in Mass. We’d always take my crown Victoria with winter tires anywhere, it’s way safer than awd with normal tires

To me it's even more important on the road where stopping distance is critical. In deep snow like this an all terrain or mud tire would probably get you up that hill no problem, just not as effortlessly as the dedicated winter tire

Good deal , but that tank dent is bad.

As a teen I would drive to a church parking lot on first snow to do this. It taught me many winter driving skills. I'm 70 now and never one accident. Drive safe.

I had one of those about 20 years ago wish I never would have sold it

The landcruiser more than likely has diff locks on it which is a massive advantage

That’s the perfect consistency snow. Perfect for snowboarding.

That's one happy gsd 🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺😊

Try using American trucks not foreign toys

Road a Yamaha 175 just like it back in the day, man that was a fun bike, and had insane top speed too for its size and age

Pupper😊

Empty pickup is vastly different from suv.

All of it.

This is a 60 year old fact.😂😂😂😂😂😂

The dog should not be allowed to follow car that could slip on snow and roll over it please be careful

Never knew Lexus made a Land Cruiser

Not a fair test. SUV vs Pickup

Isn't the 2nd one a Lexus?

The Land Cruiser has lockers tundra doesn’t

Bad test. Heavier SUV will outperform light truck with same tires.

Why are you calling it a Toyota Land Cruiser when it’s a Lexus LX??

The real test is without traction control!

Gotta put them on the same car for a fair demo. The winter tires also carried more momentum up the hill. I agree with the conclusion, but the methodology was quite flawed

How much of a difference is all season with snow tires now

Put some weight in the box of the truck.

So you drove through the tundra tracks Not fresh snow, and incase it never acured to you the full cab on the land cruiser adds plenty of rear end weight the tundra does not have put 800 or so pounds in the bed of the tundra and try again weight helps with traction

WOW way cool video, 78 I almost purchased a GS750! Instead of a motorcycle I got a divorce, way smarter move…lol

The weight difference has nothing to do with it I'm sure.

The weight in the back probably helps quite a bit as well

2 trucks? One was a truck, the other one an Offroader/SUV

Awd and 4 wd is different also

While certainly true on the claims of snow tires, this is not exactly a fair and accurate comparison as the land cruser is far better equipped to handle the terrain with or without the tires.

Bullshit video, it’s obvious you want suv to win uphill there was a big difference of vehicle speed before reaching to the hill!!

They are actually called winter tires, not snow. Even without snow, driving in temperatures below 40 degrees, summer and all- season tires are borderline dangerous. Their chemistry makes their grip poor below 40 degrees.

Would snow peak rated all terrain tires work?

nice new invention!

There was a problem with your intro. Only one “truck” was pictured. The other one is an SUV. Thank u

People are more interested in the dog than your vehicles lol
