If 50k is poverty spec, I'm interested in the destitute spec.

[@toyotas4ever]

I love the look overall, especially the old school fabric seats. That's something I appreciate them offering. All my Toyotas are SR5 models and have cloth that's pretty durable, but the Land Cruiser looks to have the older style, heavy duty fabric that was common in the '80s and '90s. I really think that's a good thing. If I had the chance to buy a new Land Cruiser, this would be it. Simple, durable, reliable materials. Great video of an exciting vehicle.

[@paulm6481]

Magnificent vehicle, love he simplicity. I can not wait for 4-Runner.

[@cherokeelaketennessee7895]

From a guy who has owned a dozen Land Cruisers and bought my fist one over 30 years ago, I like it a lot. Now, if price wasn't a consideration, I'm buying the Lexus GX 550 because of the 3.4 V6, plus I think the Overtrail looks beefier. Either way, this will be a winner for Toyota because it's affordable compared to the 200 series and I think it will be easier to mod. I'm looking forward to seeing one in person, reminds me some of my old FJ60. Just found your channel and subbed, great reviews!

[@philippelarocque4207]

I really like this new Land Cruiser!

[@zer0kelvin212]

love your vid! Would also get the base trim, keep it simple and go camping. Thanks for the video

[@donaldlester1997]

Enjoyed that!

[@davidhillbrand2302]

Perfect!

[@JustGrannie]

I love durable 😅. Another great video guys.

[@mattt7815]

Love it!

[@rickper]

This one could have been called the new FJ, I think the mirrors are identical to the old Fj

[@tinhinnh]

FJ were 2drs and 4R priced

[@jojodelima1953]

Nice, and another reliable Toyota off road capable vehicle

[@demize6]

Really wish it came with a pano roof even the gx doesn't offer that which is a shame. But I'm torn between trading in to get this or wait for the new 4runner when that drops

[@thedarkestrainbow]

I need to find a way to make this my next vehicle. I also would love the powertrain from the GX, or at least not a hybrid for simplicity, but probably nothing you’d have to worry about for at least 100k miles. And even then replacing a battery pack isn’t the end of the world. I hope they offer an option to add the disconnecting sway bar to the base. Don’t need leather or anything fancy. Just all the off road goodies.

[@zer0kelvin212]

i think you can disconnect sway bar in other trim option. At least they all come standard with rear diff lock

[@stanleyblazeraznik6047]

I am drawn to this styling inside and out.

[@CACressida]

Love the fabric on the seats. Its a throwback to 1990s toyota trucks. The bumpers are designed to be thrown away and replaced with bull bars which shows Toyota is now paying attention to what people are doing in the aftermarket. I wish they would've just made the swaybar disconnect standard on the 1958 instead of forcing you up to the next trim unless its an option.

[@charliemcawesome5012]

I’m actually happy they didn’t make it standard. I’ve went my whole 48 years off roading to hunt. Now I don’t off road to off road, but I’m rural and I end up doing it unintentionally often. Sway bar disconnects are just another system that can break. I’ve never needed it and most people never will. Give yourself at least the same size tire on the standard grade of the GX550, and the lockers are all yer gonna need unless you actually going looking for places you need a SBD.

[@thinker2328]

The trim i would want too! People are gonna mod these like crazy!

[@new002one]

Love you guys.

[@TexasTruckChannel]

Thanks!

[@amirjon]

dat iforcemax emblem is massive!

[@akilghosh]

Surprisingly this is the same size as lc100. Good they went back in size. Where cars and trucks are getting obnoxiously bigger every year

[@tinhinnh]

would be cool with 17” steelies but i like fabric seats 😊

[@cstyle1917]

Does it have dual visors?

[@v.maharaj3365]

Holy crap!! The new Ford Bronco is toast. This is SUPER!

[@bubba4072]

This is the one I want. I think I may wait a year ...maybe two, so they can work out any unforeseen problems.

[@danielkwiatkowski9701]

What a big guy. I thought that LC is big car but I was wrong 😂

[@Agmhd]

Lc 300 is much bigger than Lc Prado with Standard v6 & also gets Gr sport option

[@anthonyyorkovich2222]

Ok nice. Now make the 4runner trailhunter with a removable top and 33s or 35s stock.

[@alshatti84]

GR Sport+ Gazoo Racing ??

[@georgetown8986]

Won't be $50k even for the base. Crooked Toyota dealers will be adding $10k minimum. Plus waiting lists. Better get about $65k - $75k out of your money clip.

[@MrMystang92]

Not with the interest rates and a lot of people are tight on budget. There are also dealerships that only sell them at msrp. So you should shop around before making a big claim.

[@alexblankenship7385]

I have a feeling a few dealers will even go as far as bringing the first few that hit dealers to over $100k

[@tdub25]

Markups???? 2022 was 2 years ago… I bet this will start at 58k and top at 70k gotta remember 4Runner is gotta fit under this at 45k to 55-60k

[@alexblankenship7385]

@@tdub25 I hope thats the case. But 2019 with the Supra's return it got a large price increase at dealers because of the hype of its return

[@AlphaOmega333]

It’ll just be MSRP. It isn’t Covid anymore.

[@Jojo-ni2cg]

Wish the ground clearance was better and it offered a V6 engine but on that note the price is right

[@tommyistommy]

"mid 50s" means at least 55k. What an outrageous price. This should be 35k. The cargo area is weird with the hybrid, the ground clearance is truly pathetic (less than the Rav4.) and you get the priveledge of paying more than a TRD Pro 4runner for this. Calling it a land cruiser is also deceptive at best, it's a prado. With similar equipment, the GX will be the same price or cheaper even with a flat load floor, way nicer interior and a way better drivetrain if you really can't live without this platform. The weird compromises dont end either, no third row, small fuel tank, no split tailgate....im really not sure who this thing is for; its not me

[@silverrunner8687]

I just can’t over the design of the windows on the rear side, that kick up on rear door they get smaller. Seems like many manufacturers are doing this now. Also doesn’t really look much bigger and maybe even smaller than my current 4runner.

[@OverlandOrange]

I want a tan LC with black steelies.

[@abdfatihm1298]

It's not reminding you Fj, it's actually an FJ with four door

[@johnathoncastro]

$35k would be competitive....$50k is ridiculous

[@carmenvanhook5756]

Hi No One Has Money like that with 2 incomes 40000 the Most!!! And I have 2 Fj Cruiser 2007 4 Runner 2022 under 45000 it's My Budget Call Me Toyota When it goes DOWN!!!! NO ONE ITS Going to Buy!!! If they do and can't keep up payments you will get Repo!!!!

[@renatoshehu7902]

35k they sell subarus nowadays which is insane

[@adamwilson2616]

Ford mavericks are selling for almost 35k!

[@johnathoncastro]

@adamwilson2616 yes I know and that's the problem...When ford announced the Maverick Truck it was announced as a sub $25k truck. Now they are pushing $40k.

[@timothyriley8995]

Love the poverty spec! Those wimpy tires look ridiculous though.

[@TexasTruckChannel]

Uh, yeah that would be our first mod!!!

[@whereisjohnnow]

@@TexasTruckChannel me too

[@AA-vr8ez]

Big tires are so overrated. Mall cruiser look is 35+

[@whereisjohnnow]

@@AA-vr8ezdo whatever makes you happy. i would be happy not to get stuck in mud or snow with bigger grippy tires. the stock tires will not cut it.

[@fritty9927]

Everyone keeps saying 50k or a bit more. My prediction is just like every other announced target price you won’t see one for less than 62k; and I’m not even talking about dealer mark ups. That’s out of my acceptable range. I’ll probably just keep the FJ.

[@edmundcharles5278]

I do not agree, since Toyota does not want to mingle the the price point of a Toyota with the base price of the Lexus GX 550! That’s what is called price/model cannibalization and Toyota staff are smart enough not to sacrifice one model line against their other model lineup. Toyota wants both Lexus and Toyota to sell well together, not against each other!

[@gunawangunawan4355]

Mantap, semoga dapat Hadiah

[@justinwinstel8136]

Looks like a mashup between a bronco and a defender

[@haze1123]

These are going to sell like CRAZY. Chevy should have gone this direction with the new Blazer.

[@chuckm5923]

Better than the 4 runner but I don’t like that it hybrid only. Hey Today just bring the 70 series to the USA and the Stout. Even with the chicken tax it will sell.

[@ronaldsamontanez8592]

Wow

[@americandude3825]

I’m gonna be the cheap version, and put the gx550 front end on it. 😁

[@richardcuenca4333]

its George from CryptosRUS in the background

[@haywood4299]

This is going to be 60k out the door for a 4cyl SUV. I'll wait for the new 4runner.

[@eljefe09]

There's nothing about that ride that makes me want to spend 15-20k over a new 4runner.

[@oni-one574]

That's assuming the new 4runner redesign doesn't get an inflation make over.

[@davidheaton6206]

It will. Trd off road will be 50 and pro closer to 60k

[@whereisjohnnow]

i would be fine with a 6th gen 4runner if I can get it without waiting another year or more.

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Yeah! Good luck trying to get it for 50 G’s more like over 60 k after dealers markup’s! Ridiculous! I love the way it looks though!

[@wayneh1562]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@chileshemubanga3594]

Why the black colour???

[@jmpattillo]

If this is really going to be around 50k then it will sell well with all those standard features.

[@TexasTruckChannel]

We agree and cannot wait to get our hands on one. Thanks for watching!

[@tinhinnh]

more like $55k+ w/the hybrid max

[@Zarfilms2007]

Currently 59k not including taxes on Toyota websites

[@CK-gf4ns]

No E-KDSS !

6-4 give or take

[@chileshemubanga3594]

Its funny coz even Toyota themselves aren't sure if the Prado is a Land cruiser!.when you look at the way the name is written on the one we currently have (Zambia/Africa).the Prado name is big then theres the small Land cruiser under it.i bet most people not in the know dont even know a Prado is a Land cruiser.😂😅

[@thelandcruiserproject]

And to think that this LC 250 is any less complex than the 200 series is a joke.

[@InfoSecTangSoo]

Saying “Poverty spec” and “starting around $50K” is a bit surreal. Some people have a different understanding of what poverty is, I guess.

[@TheSkyline5467]

Automakers are doing a great job of having content creators say that you could just get replacements for those plastic ugly parts. However, how much do they cost? Are they going to send you one for 25 bucks?

[@TexasTruckChannel]

We have had zero instruction from any brand on saying that. The unpainted plastic will always be cheaper than a painted part that needs matching.

[@Gobbledropper]

So is this just Tacoma with a trunk?

[@justina5581]

No that will be the new 4runner this is the worldwide Landcruiser 250

[@crazymtbrewery]

Poverty spec for $55k? Give me something I am not embarrassed to take coworkers to lunch in.

[@mrt3206]

I’m sure the GX being 30k minimum more isn’t the reason for staying on the cheaper side either🤣 can you justify 80k for a vehicle that isn’t actually designed for off road, put thick tires on something and call it off road worthy is hilarious. I think the 2025 4Runner sells better than these tho. That front bumper on this is U-G-L-Y. And since the front side panels go all the way down I’m not sure an after market bumper is going to provide much more clearance either🤷‍♂️ 4Runner for me👌

[@JS1066]

GX starts at 64k, so more like 10-15k.

[@Stevespecs]

Hybrid only, lost my interest, will be to expensive to keep long term. Those batteries cost mega $$ to replace

[@SuperSnakePlissken]

Personally this should’ve been the new 4Runner and the land cruiser should be there flagship vehicle which is the LX 600.

[@jamiejolles3895]

Either you are very tall, or the car is not as high as a 4Runner. ???

[@TexasTruckChannel]

6’4” to be precise(ish)

[@fritty9927]

Possibly, but with less trips to the shop😊

[@1022SLB]

Lost me at the exposed rear wiper… Lazy!

[@NemeanLion-]

I’d rather call it a rugged spec than a “poverty” spec. No one would call a wrangler sport a poverty spec. Many people would prefer this rugged spec over a luxury spec.

[@TexasTruckChannel]

Oh when we call it poverty spec, we just mean a non loaded spec. That is not a bad thing in our eyes. It’s a positive. And we called our stripped gladiator poverty spec and loved it for that. Thanks for watching.

[@NemeanLion-]

@@TexasTruckChannel I understand. And I understand that you were just coming up with like a catchy name to describe a base model. No worries. It’s just that calling it a poverty spec makes it sound like you have to buy this one because you’re broke.

[@jessekuchinski1172]

[@TexasTruckChannel]

Where did you get 70k from?

[@hernandezeuro]

It's disappointing to see how an iconic vehicle like the 1985 Toyota Land Cruiser can lose its essence with releases that prioritize simplicity and low-quality materials. The lack of robust and attractive details in the tires and wheels, along with an unappealing design, make this model lose its appeal for off-road drivers looking for a rugged and powerful vehicle. It's crucial for manufacturers to maintain the integrity and appeal of classic models when launching new versions.

[@paulgrinold1103]

Don’t confuse basic with low quality.

[@Holden-McGroin]

I think you’re completely wrong about this rig.

[@Canikissyou-is7zc]

Shrinking Toyota Land Cruiser Too bad Not my type

[@Solacer8]

This is the smaller Land Cruiser which is sold as LC Prado else where. The bigger Land Cruiser 300 series is discontinued from USA because people used to buy the exact same vehicle but luxury as Lexus LX.

[@user-xc7pu7kb2v]

[@thelandcruiserproject]

Toyota has not always been good for braking. Are you kidding? First Gen Tundra and Sequoia!? Third Gen 4Runner and first Gen Tacoma? Please do a bit more research before just spouting off nonsense that Toyota PR will like.
