How much more power do you need? I think the powertrain is well matched to the chassis. Old, solid, and proven reliable. It’s no pansy crossover, it’s not for every one :)

In Australia they sell 13,000 land cruiser Prados per year making it the biggest selling vehicle of its type in the country. Add to this the 11,000 larger LandCruiser wagons australia is one of the biggest markets for the LC in all model types. But U fortunately it only comes with a 2.8 litre diesel which is a tad underpowered.

Great review. I have GX470 with 205k Miles that I use to tow our travel trailer and explore backroads. It’s an amazing suv still has no rattles or issues and drives way better than my sisters brand new suburban imo. Secret Toyota 4x4 value right now for sure. 4Runner and FJC parts bolt on and they actually have a fast growing community that modifies them with 35”+ tires and long travel suspensions

My buddy has a 2012 Lexus GX and he raves about it. I owned a 2002 Toyota Sequoia for 11 years then I got a 2013 Highlander Hybrid. With 2 kids the Highlander felt small and I was missing the up-sized Sequoia. I was in the market recently for a full-sized SUV so naturally I looked at a 2018 Sequoia and 2018 Land Cruiser. I felt for the price of those Toyota SUV's I could step up into the Lexus luxury SUV's. So after Lexus cash incentives I was able to order a 2018 Lexus LX570 fully optioned and it only cost $4,000 more than the Toyota Land Cruiser.

I have a 2016 4Runner limited with auto side steps. I swapped out all the interior lamps and exterior bulbs to LED and I mean ALL of them. With Weathertech wind deflectors (not on the hood, or moonroof -that's atrocious) I now get many compliments and sometimes it's easy for me to pretend I'm in a Lexus and convince others that it's just a badge shy of being one. There's not a day that goes by that I don't covet the LX570, but there's NO WAY I'd get rid of my 4Runner in classic silver metallic and Yokohama (so cool because so HARD to find) factory 20" wheels. So my question is....would I be an idiot to own both?? Lol. I know it's not practical but for the love of the similarities and disparities....

I own both a 1997 white 4runner Limited with brown interior and a 2018 LX570. The 4runner has more than 350,000+ trouble free miles and everything mechanical and electrical is still original. Unbelievable!! The 4Runner is long paid off and it makes a great beater SUV for hauling a utility trailer, parking at Walmart ;-), and leaving at airport for extended parking. So it's very practical to keep and maintain Toyotas because in the long run they will pay for themselves.

Noypi54494 I know exactly what you mean...those 96-99 two tone limiteds were solid. I had the same ‘99 white one, 4x4 with the silver body kit, beige leather...it had a factory steel rear wind deflector on top of the tailgate, more wood in the interior, and those Toyota Limited alloy rims are still sick today. That trim really was a Lexus back then. The 4x4 Limited was HEAVY though. The engine had really smooth throttle response and it was just a beautiful time for the 4Runner. I’m not sure who owns it today, but I suspect someone is nursing that beauty today...That particular set up, LOADED to the maxwas a pretty rare sight on the road back then in the US. It was $35k back in 1999....

I've got a 2017 GX460 Premium with 111k miles. The engine really needs premium gas to run right and make torque. It will 100% run on 87 but the torque really fills in with 93 and mpg's go up by about 1-1.5mpg. In gear acceleration on the highway is way better with 93. Gets even better if you change your air filter every 10k-15k miles ($15 for a Denso filter on Amazon). Throttle response gets even better if you rip out that stupid charcoal filter in the factory air box. You'll get another .25-.5 mpg as well. Currently experimenting with the Crawford EcoBlock Q3. So far, torque feels clearly stronger below 3500rpm and I'm up 1.5 mpg's with same commute. Fewer down shifts on the highway. Current gas prices ($4.05/gallon at Costco for 93) mean it will pay for itself in about three tanks if the trend holds. It's a very nice place to be on the road.

Great review...thank you! One issue I can't find an answer for in any review is driver seat comfort as relates to taller drivers. Recognizing people carry their height differently...some in leg length and others in torso. In general, would a 6'4" driver find they have enough leg and head room? Bouncing your head off the ceiling when hitting bumps...or legs cramping up in traffic because your knees are uncomfortably bent can be very unpleasant. In addition to the GX, does anyone know if the LX is any better as far as driver's space? Thank you!

I like the GX and the LX. Trying to decide between a 2015ish GX or 2013ish LX as my daily driver and family car (2 kids and 65# Labrador). Wondering if GX is better size wise in the City (work...parking)...or if it really matters as both considered “oversized”. Same time wondering if LX would provide that much more practical room. Bottom line...between a slightly older LX or slightly newer GX, if you had it to do over...or given my situation described... which would you choose/recommend? Thank you!

I would never change that engine it's the all proven Tundra engine. It's one of the most durable Toyota engines and as a matter of fact one of the best engines ever made. There is several of them that have reached over a million miles. The torque is actually 330. And just replacing the chip you can actually get close to 400 torque and close to 350 horsepower. Again I would not do that just because the way the engine is set up as to run forever. These cars are expensive but they were last on average three times a regular car.

I wouldn't get one brand new and off-road it. I think it would hurt me to rip up a $50-60k vehicle. I'd get a 2-3 year old low mile off-lease CPO for $35k and mod it. You won't feel so bad the first time you get a few scratches on it. But agreed with everything said, this thing is a sneaky good off-roader. Out of the box it's less capable than a 4Runner and you're gonna have to remove the side skirt and a lift is probably in order. But once you do you'll be smiling from ear to ear knowing you can off-road a luxury vehicle.
@mjfamgo6563

I think saying this needs more power, is playing into the same camp of people who don't get what it is. The engine's power is more than adequate for what this rig is designed for. The output doesn't stress its engine within an inch of its life like a boosted or highly tuned one would. This adds to reliability. We get the Prado where I'm from and as standard, it has the 2.8 D4D Turbo Diesel engine with 190hp or so. Even with that engine, they're brisk enough for 90% of on-road situations. These are not straight-line monsters, nor do they pretend to be

This thing is not a baby land cruiser, it's the more successful and sophisticated younger brother of the sequoia.

this car has nothing to do with the sequoia. Other countries though this is called the “Land Cruiser Prado” 150 platform. Previous platform is the 120, which shares platforms with the 4Runner and FJ cruiser.

I had a chance to test drive this and the seats were not that comfortable at least for me. It felt like I was driving a 4 cylinder SUV that was heavy. But besides those two this was a great SUV.

with all respect, you don't know what you're talking about! I have owned a land cruiser prado! they don't have a V8. they're either 4cyl (gas or diesel) known as GX-R and the 6Cyl as VX-R! Those guys don't have air suspension either, they have spring suspension! AND the comparison to ford raptor was the biggest BS Ive ever heard

No car will last forever, you have to keep up with maintenance. Toyota V8 had it's own share of issues. Search "secondary air injection pump failure", "cracked dash", "failed air suspension", "evaporator core leaking". All common problems on the GX and 4Runner, and extremely expensive to fix.

@Matthew-ip6xl 6 жыл бұрын
Secondary air injection can be fixed with a bypass kit for under $400. Air suspension can be converted to coils for under $300 and still rides great. My dash was replaced for free...not really that expensive if you know what you're working with.

Lol. 8.1 because of grill and running boards. Did you just compare it to a forester? It is a land cruiser prado proven world wide as an excellent off roader. This car is better than the 4runner. Remove running boards and place a front bumper and suddenly its close to 10 inch. Wow. Than u give it a little lift 2 inch and its a beast with all terrain tires. It will eat jeep for breakfast. And you are a troll.

@@hipporage18 Whoa. Check yourself. No need for personal attacks and mommy references or people's puberty. Stay on point and make your argument good or bad on the vehicle. I've owned Toyota & Lexus vehicles all my life. Currently have a Lexus RX350 & IS350c. I've researched them extensively and have made many trips to the dealership looking to upgrade my RX 350. My natural inclination will be the GX 460. I don't know your age but keep in mind there is a certain demographic that does not want to climb over second row seats to get to the third nor have our friends or family do so. $60,000 and you want me to climb over a seat to get to another? My family too? A simple fix to this would have been for Lexus to make the second row seats flip up or make captains chairs available so one can go down the center. This is available in the Toyota Sienna and the Toyota Sequoia. For YEARS. So my next choice... let's go look at the Lexus RX 350 XL. That's a joke too. $54,000 one can't even sit in the third row seats. Period. You literally can't pull the second row of seats back to lock it into position. $54k. Keep in mind my wife's IS350 convertible had MORE room in the back seat than that Lexus XL. I fit very comfortable back there. Unbelievable. I don't know who's in charge of Lexus but it seems pretty obvious that the people who make the 460 arer in a different department than those who make the 570 and the Toyota Land Cruiser. I think the same people who made the 460 made the 350 XL three seater. If I had to have a vehicle it would be the Toyota Sequoia as it comes with captains chairs and at 5'10"Ingress and egress was easy to get back to the 3rd row & my knees had ample room in the third row seats while I had about four fingers of headroom. Nice. Unfortunately, that dated center console is about 10 plus years old. I don't need nor do I want the top of the line Lexus or Toyota SUV as the depreciation cost on both suck after 3 years. Have a great rest of the week. Cheers.
