2024 Toyota Land Cruiser First Edition - First Look and Impressions!

The Land Cruiser is back! I'm super excited to be able to spend a few minutes with one of these and share my thoughts with you.

this makes me really appreciate the quality & 3rd row on my 5th GEN 4 runner

The new king of the Whole Foods parking lot.

🤣

[@rightlanehog3151]

Bryan, I think larger drivers (and passengers) will appreciate the extra headroom the Land Cruiser offers compared to the surprisingly cramped 4Runner. 😉 Sadly, neither the Land Cruiser or 4Runner offer the traditional 40/20/40 second row which is so handy for skis and other long cargo. 🤨

You can take your first model year of that Land Cruiser and flush it… I bought a new capstone tundra coming to find out since 2022 they are having major catastrophic engine failures because of the new design involving the main bearing caps… sickening and sad… Those aren’t the only problems… Transmission problems, and differential problems and replacements are becoming more common… Toyota quality doesn’t exist like it used to and they’re way overpriced and I hope they suffer the consequences for their lack of quality control… The only saving grace for the Land Cruiser may be that it was hundred percent manufactured in Japan… Trust me there’s a lot of people out there leaving the Toyota brand for good reason and Toyota will suffer for that reason…the Tacoma is another new failure which shows by its sales…see ya Toyota

[@NorthweSteelheadJunkies]

76 failures or of 130000 over a span of over a year is not a massive failure rate; 0.005%

[@clownfish7776]

@@NorthweSteelheadJunkies They just recalled 100,000 22-23 Tundras and that's not even counting the engine failures happening on the 2024 models.

[@edensfamilyadventures2714]

Land Cruiser and 4Runner are definitely produced in Japan which means they are better products than our lazy american workers can manufacture. That is such a sad state of affairs. I'm so excited to get our new First Editon LC tho. It should arrive any day now.

80k? Next car

[@bogart5131]

how long will that 2.4 turbo last if you keep travelling State to State?

[@archbold1206]

lol a 265/70 18 isn’t even a 33” tire.

[@AskforBryan]

Good catch! I'm rusty with my off road tire sizes for sure.

[@SLOWQUOIA]

32.6” tire (not under load)

[@thereluctanthireling]

It looks awesome! I am on the list for the mid-trim model at my local dealership, they have not received any of their allocations yet.

[@dannyhoward3437]

It isn’t obvious to the Toyota fan base what Toyota is doing these days. And that’s a problem.

[@davidhouston7812]

Trail Dust color

[@MARINECORPS61992113]

Why does it look like a bigger FJ Cruiser that's refreshed

[@Noahwxlr]

As awesome as this SUV is going to be, it's absurd that the LC, GX550, and top line 4Runners are all going to be around the same pricing. I don't understand what Toyota and Lexus were thinking in making their pricing so equal across these. You get more luxury, features, looks, power, carry capacity, and tow ability in the GX550 overtrail for the same price. Makes no sense.

[@AskforBryan]

Now you have three options to choose from based on looks, performance and price. All three options have their merits. Is too many good Toyota body on frame 4x4s a bad thing?

[@NorthweSteelheadJunkies]

​@@AskforBryanexactly! 💯 %

[@edensfamilyadventures2714]

And they will sell every one of them they produce 👌 I can't wait to write that check for my new first editon LC in heritage blue that should arrive any day now. 👍Ball'in aint cheap baby!🤪

[@dannyhoward3437]

And all of them will be in short supply and massively marked-up.

[@Noahwxlr]

@@edensfamilyadventures2714 Hope you got it without any dealer mark ups! I saw one at my local Yota dealer and they tacked on a $10K dealer mark up. I laughed and walked out. I'll probably pick up a used LC or GX550 in 1-2 years for like $50K.

[@marvinjacobs2955]

Mud flaps so cheap they need a brace

[@baoly9550]

$80k !? Rather have GX 550. Toyota is outta their minds.

[@NorthweSteelheadJunkies]

First Edition is a limited edition trim

[@youtubecarspottersguide1]

msrp ?

[@heavymetalpermaculture]

Anyone hear mpg mentioned? The most important detail?

[@AskforBryan]

I think the off road features take a front seat here. If you are looking for high MPGs, look into the RAV4s.

[@heavymetalpermaculture]

Are you kidding? Isn't this a hybrid? The 2008 RAV4 I borrowed once got horrible mileage, think it was worse than my 1984 GMC Jimmy. It also almost killed me by repeatedly going out of 4x4 if I went above 20mph up mountain in the snow., and fought me whenever it lost traction.

[@SL_______]

@@heavymetalpermacultureit’s 22 mpg… not much gain compared to the old V8 but at least you’re saving the environment (allegedly), because that’s what matters 😂

[@CoffeeThenChampagne]

Do you have a trailhunter Tacoma

[@AskforBryan]

Not yet but we do have our first TRD Pro allocated

[@joshuamason1979]

TOYOGUARD $699 GTFOOH

[@scottgregory2059]

tire is a 33 not 34 or 35

[@gorditaz8728]

Here we go, dealership starting to mark up the LC. This one 80k and the stupid few ppl who are buying and causing the justification for mark up’s. If the old LC didn’t sell well with a V8 what makes you think this half engine that is close to the old LC price will? Greed, pure greed.

[@edensfamilyadventures2714]

Can't wait for mine to arrive baby!👍

[@anonymousonlineuser6543]

The front of this truck is such a mess. Cant believe Japanese designed it this way.

[@alexsmba]

FE is a ripoff. Just get a LC Premium. It’s the same thing with headlights that actually look like they belong on that vehicle.

[@mcjogom]

🎉👍👍👍🎉

[@AGC828]

Funny how every company has their one model that best completes.. The LR is Tourists Fortress Bronco a traitor vs Jeep Wrangler....vs Land Rover Defender

[@MrCovert23]

Nobody buying these for $80k

[@AskforBryan]

Plenty of people are actually. Maybe you aren't, but would you have bought the last LC for $90-100k anyway?

[@MrCovert23]

@@AskforBryan come on dawg.. come on mayne… people making over $120k are buying these thangs

[@edensfamilyadventures2714]

You could literally buy two Rav4's for what they cost but you get what you pay for in the end. The last generation LC's are selling for more than when they were new. It's definitely not for folks on a budget. Believe me, I was there too for so long. Can't wait to take delivery of ours 👍

[@artstech]

So a 4 cylinder but requires premium gas and what grade does it require? With the cost of gas these days where are the savings with this vehicle?

[@AskforBryan]

This isnt a Prius. Lots of high performance engines use premium fuel.

[@ZackThomas]

Thanks for showing the heads up display. I’ve watched a bunch of reviews and nobody else has taken the time to show it or explain what it’s capable of. I also have a BMW HUD currently and was hoping the Toyota version was somewhat equally capable. Thanks!
