In different parts of the world the land crusier has a little brother. Here in my country we have most of the variants including its classier sisters Land Cruiser LC 300 and Lexus 670 The little brothers are The Prado for Toyota and for Lexus its the Gx460

[@mtjaa355]

If they were to use the 4door land cruiser it would have been fairer. Also the land cruiser had no kit and the hilux did. In my opinion the land cruiser is better, I even own one.

[@rafaelfermin4619]

Bro I was already imagining how cool it would look like with a OME or Dobinsons suspension, Bf-Goodrich tires, TRD wheels, some bumpers and a snorkel lol. The amount of aftermarket customization that Toyota’s have is astonishing and if you add the already impressive base reliability and performance, no wonder why they are still on top in terms of main stream cars

[@P4SDetails]

I live in the states, but I spent a couple of years in South America. I remember the first time I saw a Hilux. Always cool to see a truck you never knew existed. This is back in the 2006 era and I also didn’t have internet at my home, so I was a bit more isolated and my ability to research was limited.

[@raftermanhoward1883]

Yeah it's like they made them as different as possible for this comparison. LWB vs SWB, manual vs auto, with and without hdc, different differential lockings. Fun video but not a good comparison. I do know from experience that the SBW Land Cruiser hold it's own offroad. A company I used to do some contracting work for drove about 600.000km in one, with at least an hour a day of offroad driving mixed in with long highway stretches, and I've only had to pull it out of a puddle once, but that was more driver error than a problem with the car.

[@AmmarMalik]

Not really much of a comparison. The top spec Prado comes with a rear diff lock and multi-terrain select, not to mention it's full sized, which would have helped it here.

[@TheoDaJunk]

I have a hilux too, on the traction and wheel articulation section, it's not just the rear diff that does the work. Hilux has the system to individually brake the wheels that doesn't have grip so it can transfer power to the wheels with traction, it works even without engaging the rear diff lock.
