It adds a couple tenths of an MPG real world and takes up space, fuel capacity, cost more, adds weight etc. Ford did a much better job executing the Powerboost system, its just too bad they havent deployed it across more vehicles.

If you want superior performance, design and comfort Land Rovers have built some great vehicles. I have an older Range Rover Sport that is a fantastic vehicle. 140k miles so far and loving it much more than any Toyota I have owned. My 89 Land Cruiser transmission failed at only 180k miles, I sold it back to Toyota. Land Cruisers are popular in foreign countries because they are the most robust vehicle available to them.

@ perhaps that was your experience but all experiences are not the same. I have been driving Land Rovers for 25+ years and still drive one to this day. My issues have been minimal, and no more than any other vehicle I’ve ever owned or anyone I’ve known has owned. A little more expensive to work on and fix but most know that going in. All I am pointing out is for 120k’ish I would rather buy a vehicle I have grown to trust and, in my opinion, looks a 1000x better than this. If I were spending 120k+ I would buy the Defender Octa twin turbo V8 with all the bells and whistles. It may or may not break before this but I am fairly certain based off the bulletproof performance my current Defender has had, that it would be so much more fun to own and drive daily.

[@Jay-me7gw]

I really wish they offered this in the LX600 and with a more reasonable gas tank size. My LX570 has a 24.5 gallon tank, and I wish it was bigger. When you are going 80mph on the freeway, this and the older generation trucks are not going to get wildly different MPG's, so the excuse for down sizing tanks is non-sense. My LX570 on 35x11.5" AT tires will get ~17mpg hand calc'd at 80mph.

[@DarthNero]

Their real reason for downsizing the tank size was that there wasn’t any real demand against it. Most LX 470 & 570 owners only drive below the average miles driven per year. This translates fewer stops at the pump. The only way Toyota are going to increase the tank size is if enough people complain & it starts to affect sales.

[@Jay-me7gw]

@@DarthNero They've done it in all their new trucks, not just the LX. The Land Cruiser is 17.9, Tacoma is 18.2, the 4Runner is 19, the GX550 is 21.1. Even the Sequoia is only 22.5. You can tell in this video when they look under the truck, its because of the hybrid system. The electric motor is like 10" thick and pushes the transmission back, which pushes the y-pipe of the exhaust back into the area where the tank would be. I seriously hope that no one plans on towing with any of these. My 2011 GX/5th gen 4Runner was 23 and my LX570 is 24.5. The 2G sequoia was 26.4.

[@rjhein]

Very frustrating to see how they lowered the fuel tank capacity to 17G. Typical Toyota move. Here in Canada/USA, we like going on longer backcountry trips. When you're low speed, under weight etc the fuel economy drops commensurately. This will result in only +/- 200-220miles of stress free range when overlanding. Insane they made that decision especially on the overtrail version.

[@TFLoffroad]

The tank has 17.9 gallons of capacity. It's small, but it should offer over 300 miles of driving range for the daily.

[@rjhein]

@@TFLoffroad Yes I agree for city/highway use - and thanks for responding :) I was just referring though to those that might eventually use this as an overlanding rig. Once in hilly terrain, slow speeds, fsr roads, and loaded with rooftop tents/gear etc that range will drop to the low 200mile range. I doubt anyone buying these today (new) will ever use them for that, but it's an overtrail specific trim. They should account for that.

The entire platform is a gimmick. If anything all this streamlining should keep costs down. Instead we see huge price increases.

I'm ok with the compromised rear storage, considering the benefits. Placing the battery in the passenger compartment increases reliability and longevity. These batteries do better when kept out of the extreme heat and cold as much as possible. It also allows for the excellent water fording ability. Did either of these hosers say this? Pfftff. No.

[@Jay-me7gw]

But what is the benefit of the battery? There doesnt appear to be one since it doesnt improve efficiency or performance. It seems the hybrid system is mostly negative. Increased weight, increased price, increased complexity, reduced fuel tank size, and reduced cargo area. Those things all outweigh any minor benefits the iforce max system provides. This thing would be far more appealing without the hybrid system at all and a $5,000 reduction in price.

@@Jay-me7gw Brilliant question! We get ONE more mpg... but only in town. You are right, this stuff has gotten ridiculous!🤣

Jen is 🔥

Not even close.

Who’s Jen and who’s Mary? I get them confused

Crawl Control makes diff lockers redundant. I have it all in my Land Cruiser.... Crawl Control is completely superior.

[@krover01]

In no shape or fashion is traction control better than actual lockers.

[@Malc664]

You have a lot to learn bud. Keep watching those off-road videos, you'll get it.

What is wrong with Toyota… we listen to our customers… also Toyota… let’s put the few features people want on our most expensive product… how about putting the core features on something in the price range people are actually looking in

Why Americans put up with third rows that are claustrophobic and for children? There is no luggage space with the third row.

[@Jay-me7gw]

Because this 3rd row is not meant for full time use. Its mean for random times where you need to carry more than 5 people. I remove the 3rd row from my LX570 until I need it, and then only usually put one of the seats back in.

[@Domwesi]

Of course... its a J300 Landcruiser in drag

You can get a base LC 300 in Australia for $70k…

Jen is cute

[@1FiftyOverland]

Can you lock the locker in 2wd or at least 4hi?

[@donleamon8653]

no

[@1FiftyOverland]

@donleamon8653 Booooo. Bronco Raptor ftw

[@MichaelMiller-rg6or]

There is no 2wd setting on this vehicle. Its full time four wheel drive.

[@TFLoffroad]

This has full time 4WD, no 2WD.

[@1FiftyOverland]

@@TFLoffroad boo....

[@mikelamberth9975]

As if anyone would ever take this off road.

24:31 ………….This type of shit is stupid and will never be used, so no one sitting in the front seat is its only use🙄…….if you have the money for a driver you’re not purchasing a cheesy ugly Lexus suv and it’s virtually useless while traveling with a family or in day to day use so it makes no sense! 😒🤷🏽‍♂️

I've got a '24 ZR2, that I'm adding the Bison Jounce dampers to, and going with a 1" lift instead of the 1/2" lift that comes with the kit, and will be fitting 35x11.5R17's on it.....for half the price of this. All in I figure I'll have $60,500 with all that and the new K03 (expensive!) tires. I considered a new Tacoma based on my great experience with my last Toyota (2010 RAV4 V6 AWD I put 212k miles on before a drunk totaled it), but the absurd pricing, and STILL no locker put an end to that. Oh, and then there's the exploding shocks issue...

[@ribbit1964]

Who is taking their $116k off-road except from a company first drive event??? How much do you hate money?? Did you have $1000 burgers for lunch? 😂😂😂 This fud is just scratching his head. 🤔

[@Jay-me7gw]

Plenty of people. There are quite a few $100k+ LX600's other there that are wheeled.
