Did I Buy The Wrong One??? GX550 vs Land Cruiser

[@glow4417]

Thank you for video! I actually see it the opposite, I would take the KDSS over the LC for driving, and the LC for the practical MPG and lesser power but adequate power. Plus I would not trust that Lexus twin turbo V6 long term.

[@johnwebb2232]

For me, i prefer the land cruiser for its more heritage look, yet I'm not sold on the four cylinder hybrid, Toyota should have stuck a six under that hood. As for the new 4runnner, i think she's lost her identity, which means if i ever trade my 5th gen in, i'll probably go for the land cruiser. For me, as for loving the 4runnner for so many years, this time round, it could be a game changer. I'm so disappointed with the new look. Looks like an older revamped Dodge Durango or the Tacoma. Sorry for babbling. It's a great comparison video, though 👍

[@georgetown8986]

I completely agree. As a '22 4Runner Limited owner who has a deposit on a new Landcruiser Landcruiser Edition, I have driven 4Runners for years and have enjoyed them.

Both of these vehicles need to be sent to Westcott Designs to have them built out.

[@frankburch5104]

I chose the GX Overtrail and never looked back. Last week I added a Westcott roof rack and Westcott lift and fitted it with 35s and 17 inch method bead grip wheels. I also had Westcott remove the runningboards and install the land cruiser rock rails. After 2200 miles I was averaging 19.1 MPG. It’s been a week since the Westcott build and the MPG has dropped to 18.1, and I expect it to go lower. I love the V6 and would never want to give up cargo space for the battery packs. I bought it at the MSRP of $71,474. You can easily spend that much money or more on the LC, so I think the GX is a better truck and a better value. I absolutely love my GX!

This is a great video thanks for all your efforts. This could be a pillow fight. The absolute wild card in both vehicles, new 4Runner release in Fall.

I like the look of both but for me i just have to throw in 4Runner as the 3rd option. I want to test the drive ability of 4Runner for everyday commutes, sound and feel on road. I love the looks of all. Me personally it’s going to come down to comfort, reliability, practicality, daily commute, gas mileage, fit and finish. Living in Northeast, need to be prepared for all the junk the roads and weather throw at us here. I just want the car the last really long time and I want it all to just make sense for me. In the end, after whichever car I buy, when the new car smell dust wears off, I dont want to be looking back 6 months later saying I shouldn’t have bought this car.

[@jimnjean]

Great video Jon!! We had a deposit on a first edition land cruiser, then after watching a number of reviews, including the one when you first bought yours, decided to switch to the GX overtrail+ arriving next week. Your fantastic real-world comparison mostly confirms what we listed as pros and cons of GX OT+ vs LC FE: pros: v6 dual-turbo w/ more power, v6 = less engine whine/drone than 4cyl, acoustic glass = quieter at highway speed, e-KDSS more capable offroad and on, more towing capacity, better stock tires, full use of rear storage (more capacity too?) without battery, massaging seats, heated rear seats, additional driving modes, turning light, Mark Levinson sound, longer stock warranty. cons: more expensive, lower mpg, no digital mirror, no 3-zone climate and vents low vs. high, 3" longer without much to show for it, worse approach angle when offroading, hvac touchscreen vs manual controls, rear AC outlet less power, and shorter included service. wash: looks (both look great, so personal preference), range (more mpg on LC, but smaller tank), both take premium fuel, both will likely be extremely reliable despite what "the internet says", resale also likely a wash as a percentage of purchase price, and availability sucks for both right now - look out of market for best deals at MSRP. Either is a great choice, which is why you both like the ones you bought.

Yes!!! We want (NEED) an HONEST review comparing the 250 vs the 200. This is critical for those of us loyal 200-Series Land Cruiser owners that are on the fence regarding the 250-Series. I am in disbelief they gave the GX550 the V6 but chose to give the LC the 4-cylinder. If the 4-cylinder was so good why not also put it in the GX? Also, the DISHONEST smoke and mirrors Width measurements on the 250 to make people think it basically the same size as a 200 in total crap. I drive a 200 series and dealer put me in a 2024 4RUNNER for a MONTH while mine was in the shop (mechanic had a serious injury and others on vacation had them backed up). There's a HUGE DIFFERENCE in comfort, space-wise, between a LC 200 and a 4RUNNER (the LC 250 has very similar interior dimensions as the 24 4RUNNER).

My current daily driver, 2015 Honda Pilot, 180k miles. Mileage has sucked, maintenance has sucked. Don't think I will buy another Pilot.

It flutters at highway speeds on a lot of Toyota products, including Tacomas and 4runners. It is due to Toyota skimping on 3m panel adhesive. I had to purchase it myself and apply to fix it. Stupidity.

I'm holding out for the 2025 SR5 4Runner with the NON-hybrid 4 cyl. It'll probably be about $46,000 vs $58,000 for the 1958 Land Cruiser and have similar ride and handling qualities. It won't turn heads like the Land Cruiser and will take 9 seconds to do 0-60 mph vs 8 seconds for the Land Cruiser, but that's still enough power to maintain speed up any grade.

All three are on the same TNG platform

Not having the digital rear view mirror in the GX overtrail does not make sense in a vehicle intended to be loaded up with gear. Maybe in 2025 with the hybrid...

The bumpiness is likely caused by the eKDSS.
