2024 Land Cruiser Real Life Ownership Review

[@georgetown8986]

Outstanding review from an actual owner. I also have a '24 Land Cruiser Premium. I have owned three previous Land Cruisers and this one is, by far the best. I love the engine. It is quick, reliable, and decent mpgs (I'm averaging 19-21 combined). The appearance / look is by far the best looking LC ever produced. It is a very heavy truck and the engine out performs my 200 Series with the outdated V8. Again, well done video. Appreciate the honest review from an actual owner and not just another KZbinr looking to get a couple of views.

[@JPontheMountain]

I’m so glad you’re enjoying the new LC as much as I am - I’m really loving mine so far too!

[@georgetown8986]

@@JPontheMountain Great. I recommended your video on our Land Cruiser forum, so will likely see a few upticks from LC enthusiasts like we are. Cheers!

[@JPontheMountain]

Thank you my friend

[@jonstubb1913]

Great video. The background you shared about loving Toyota and dreaming about LC ownership yet waited for tech. I feel that. Thanks for sharing man.

[@JPontheMountain]

I felt really similarly about the 4Runner. I appreciate you watching!

[@eebclee]

I'm with you on the roof rack options. What I'd really like is a full length side bar for greater stability but so I can still take the cross bars off when I don't need them. And use whatever Thule/Yakama cross bars I want.

[@JPontheMountain]

That would be a great setup. I’m considering running a Rhino Rack platform on the oem rack. We’ll see

[@TofuRobots]

Really enjoyed hearing all your real owner, not professional reviewer, thoughts!

[@JPontheMountain]

That’s the goal! Thanks for watching.

[@noctilucent7396]

Ive owned my 250 LC for 2 months, I wanted a 200 series as well, Buuuuuut after weighing back and fourth the 250 is the move. The Power generator in the back is the MOVE!! does the 200 series have a 2400w inverter in the back?! Hell no!! the 250 does! which one looks better the 250! I LOVE the 250. Subbed.

[@JPontheMountain]

Couldn’t agree more! I need to take more advantage of the 2400W inverter.

[@noctilucent7396]

@JPontheMountain in a power outage situation this thing is amazing. Its the best prepper vechile

[@agentlemadness1348]

Well done JP - Thanks!

[@JPontheMountain]

Thanks for watching!

[@cue03]

Can you share info / links for the “attic” that you put in the cargo section of the Land Cruiser? As well as the molle panel for the visor? Thanks.

[@JPontheMountain]

Hey there! They are both from Blue Ridge Overland Gear. I’ll be uploading a separate video going over the small additions in more detail soon.

[@cue03]

@@JPontheMountain thanks for the info. I will keep an eye out for your video on the little additions to the LC.

[@cue03]

@@JPontheMountain I just checked blue ridge and they don’t have a vehicle attic specific for the LC250 on their website. So did you pick the one for the old 4Runner/GX or the old LC/LX?

[@JPontheMountain]

@ LC/LX I called and confirmed dimensions before ordering. It’s a perfect fit in the 250

[@khh6243]

hey - I know that roof top parking lot! :-) I have 7000 miles on my LC250. I love mine, but I agree on some of this model's minor shortcomings.

[@JPontheMountain]

It’s a staple :)

[@fabricemaurel9199]

Wait for the old men emu. Best / most reliable suspension imo. And build like a tank.

[@JPontheMountain]

I do agree. I’ve had both Icon and OME suspension systems in the past. I loved them both, but OME is definitely more tested and proven.

[@simon359]

The things I’m concerned about with the land cruiser, is not only the cost of the vehicle, but the maintenance and upkeep, the insurance and the fact that you have to put premium gas in the vehicle! All of these things tell me that it’s going to be very expensive to keep up and use.

[@JPontheMountain]

Time will tell! I’m hoping to keep this vehicle for 20 years.

[@JC_DILLO]

Thanks for the video. I've had mine for almost 3 months as well - love it! The gas tank is also my biggest gripe - seems like I fill it and that first click down on the fuel meter happens too fast! I'm also having issues with my Cruise Control - doesn't work consistently - weird. Curious what other or any upgrades you've done - I have upgraded from the tinny, weak horn and a few others - but wish I could find a rubber mat for the area where the LC/FE has the phone charger - mine is a 1958. Thanks again!

[@JPontheMountain]

Thanks for watching! As soon as an auxiliary tank is available, I’ll be making that upgrade. I’ll be posting a mods video soon that shows all the small things I’ve done so far.

[@noctilucent7396]

Falken at4w are excellent. worth adding it to your consideration list

[@rsii83]

Are the tyers quiet on the highway bitumen surface?

[@noctilucent7396]

@rsii83 i really enjoyed them on my 4R they felt like a limousine ride imo

[@rsii83]

@noctilucent7396 cool, thank you for sharing your opinion. It is very hard to find a good AT tyers that works well on highway. Especially most of us will be using it 90% on highway and 10% offroad.

[@sylviawelsh9518]

Check out the Falken off road tire very much like the KO 2-3 but rated a bit better.

[@JPontheMountain]

You’re not the first person to recommend Falken. I’ll definitely consider them

[@eighty6films]

Don’t feel bad, the new LX only gets 17.9 gallons of fuel capacity which is NOT enough IMO

[@JPontheMountain]

Totally agree

[@sylviawelsh9518]

What mileage are you getting.

[@JPontheMountain]

19.5 combined. And that includes a few camping/offroad trips were I was getting 10-11 mpg

[@Yogi5D]

In Europe we get these with a high displacement 2.8L I4 Diesel engine gets 27mpg

[@JPontheMountain]

I know! So jealous

[@Yogi5D]

@ They want $80k for the diesel here i dont know how much its there. If I could print money it def wouldnt be a bad car to be in haha Its def a huge visual improvement over its predecesor the Prado 150.

[@Jaa2019]

What's your mpg?

[@JPontheMountain]

Averaging 19.5 combined highway and city

[@Jaa2019]

@JPontheMountain wow! That's great

[@ramoftherose]

Rooftop tent >:)

[@JPontheMountain]

Maybe….

[@Chen-wh6is]

20' wheel is a seperate option, not included in the premium package.

[@eebclee]

But at least in CA it's almost impossible to get a premium that doesn't have 20" wheels.

[@JPontheMountain]

Exactly

[@dawidbenyahudahisrael6959]

What good is this review if you’re a Toyota fanboy?! Lacks objectivity and validity. Conflict of interest. Pass.

[@JPontheMountain]

All good! Thanks for watching

[@dawidbenyahudahisrael6959]

@ you’re welcome. I do hope your channel grows. Just consider more objectivity and avoid your adoration of the brand you’re reviewing. It’s quickly discerned and distasteful.

[@peterdaniel66]

Sorry. This isn’t a land cruiser. It’s a Prado. Massively overpriced and actually a pretty dumb choice for the money when the the new 4Runner is out. I simply do not understand Toyota‘s mind when it comes to this.

[@adamk8197]

Rude!

[@JPontheMountain]

I totally get this perspective. I considered waiting for the 4Runner, but ultimately I see pros and cons with both. I’m pleased with my choice!

[@TTR323]

Don’t listen to the haters. I’ve had my 1958 for a month and couldn’t love it any more than I do. Off roading has been so fun and it’s a great daily driver.

[@JPontheMountain]

Couldn’t agree more
