I see a lot of people complaining about the prices of vehicles these days and hating on the automakers. But I never see them mention the horrible inflation we are experiencing. Do you realize in 2020 the fed added 40% to our money supply. Look up m2 money supply. Endless money printing weakens the purchasing power of the dollar. Do you think inflation only applies to eggs and milk? Do you see that the fed can print money for free but we all have to work for it? Prices go up for automakers as well, taxes, labor costs, material costs, etc. $70K is the new $50K it looks like.

At 70k, I'd rather get a Rivian R1T than these things with more moving parts. If I have that kind of money, then I probably have a house too and the charging will not be an issue. Road trips are not an issue because I stop often enough for bathroom/beverage/snack/stretching anyways. 10 min top off every time I stop worked fine for me when I rented the Model 3 short range for two days on a road trip that I take frequently. And the Rivians bottom heavy weight distribution makes it far more stable and capable than these things. No dealership markup, no oil changes, no fluid changes, and brake changes are every 100k miles instead of every 30-40k miles. Lease rates on EVs are dirt cheap now too because they want people to try them out and see that they can make it work for them.

I would get the LC. I've seen First Editions come with Nitto ATs straight from the factory and those more aggressive tires significantly improve the relatively mundane appearance of the LC (compared to the 4Runner). The LC deserves to wear real ATs anyway. Besides, it is easier to justify spending $70K on a LC than on a 4Runner. The LC is more refined in every way and can likely keep up with the 4Runner offroad in most conditions.

Its like comparing the Jeep patriot to the Jeep Compass its the same rig with a different shell. Get the one you like the looks of or the one you can get the best deal on.

Your first mistake is comparing Jeep to Toyota. LC250, 4runner, and GX550 all similar but they all with feel very diffent

@@NorthweSteelheadJunkies I did not compare Jeep to Toyota so that is not a mistake. This video is about the 4runner and landcruiser not any of those lexus offerings. I am sure i will make a bunch of mistakes today but none were made here. Enjoy your weekend 👍🏼.

sadly, new land cruiser is a 4runner limited with a plate on the bottom to protect you on speed bumps when heading to the mall. 4runner trailhunter is the real off road winner or you can upgrade the base model yourself.... you can get a hybrid version for the low low price of 70k or more... 6000lb towing limit with a 4cyl engine sounds good on paper only.

I bought a first edition a month ago. Delivery delayed twice so far. Dealer claims supply chain issues getting the fog lights and skid plate. Or I was scammed. Hmmmm

Does anybody expect to be taking a $90,000 CDN Land Cruiser off road? It’ll be great in the snow for sure, especially with all wheel drive and locking diffs.

People (including myself) do it with Jeeps all the time. So yes.

@@jackbauer9347 I get the “it’s a Jeep” thing with jeep ownership but I believe there may be a different ownership/age dynamic with a Land Cruiser.

I trust the land cruisers over the poor runner simply bc they have the prado in japan. Plus the prado is pimp

Looking at the engineering focused videos, it seems likely the LC is also better underneath the surface

@@AllenKrughoff car and driver did one recently. I believe I’ve also seen comparisons with the chassis and that it’s very close if not the same as the 300 series. This LC250 is one of, if not the closest the prado has been to the big LC. While the new 4Runner is on the same platform, I’m not sure it has the same beefy chassis.

It's basically the same vehicle. Silverado or a Sierra same difference. A four cylinder in a truck this size is asking for trouble. I'll keep my 2021 4runner thank you.
