You bet it does 😁

[@DigitalForged]

Unlike other brand new vehicles this is actually cool

[@Toyotajeff]

Are you choosing 1958, Land Cruiser, or First Edition trim level? Jeff

[@rightlanehog3151]

1958. I hope it comes with the white roof option. 😉

[@faheemabbas3965]

@@rightlanehog3151I think the white roofs are for the first edition iirc. There’s only going to be a couple thousand of them apparently so if you want it, hurry up and try to reserve one

Hard to decide but I love the First Edition (but I also love Round light). Thanks for the video.

First U.S. spec LC I’ve been interested in since my ‘97 LC 80. Great job presenting the info👍

Thank you!!

[@zhxiaol]

Retro-Modern. Right on. This could be a vehicle from the 2020s or 1970s.

[@anjansingh3093]

Can you tell me if the mid LC trim has digital rearview mirror standard? or which trim has it?

[@wakz2618]

Happy with my 01 limited 4Runner 😎

[@sickunit2096]

Great, comprehensive and detailed review. I plan on ordering one when the “build” feature pops up on the Toyota site in the spring. My only issue is the GX gets a twin turbo V6. I wish that was offered in the Land Cruiser.

[@ChrisSandstorm]

I hope we can do a build order..

[@Spaceman-si9cs]

Gx gets 17mpg and runs on premium

[@Irishmanbikes]

I really like the look of the First Edition. Do you think Toyota will eventually make more than 5,000?? When can we drive them??

[@Jimmy-zq2mj]

Great video, Jeff. Any word on a sunroof for the first edition? Also, I thought when you get the Premium pkg. on the LC the seats are upgraded to real leather.

Jeff, When Toyota submitted this Land Cruiser design to you two years ago for your personal pre-approval prior to the world wide release, what was you honest first impression? 🤔😉

[@vincentmurphy9252]

Nice job

[@MrRmga420]

Thanks Joyota Jeff.

[@hypernewlapse]

Does this include the non-US 7 seaters? There was a diesel for europe too

[@judithvilla6026]

Can't wait to se ethis in the underground colour. What was your impression of the plastic trim?

[@callmebackfriday2]

What is your pick and why? I picked the first edition because of the rectangle lights.

[@jacobsavage563]

Does it have rear heated seats as an option?

[@TheRillJay]

are you forced to get the hybrid or can you get a full gas version? Diesel?

[@msingerca]

The year prior to the the FJ Cruiser coming out the target price was $16,000. It arrived at $30,000.

[@Cisco13]

Sure kid

[@hjer731]

16k? No way

[@cactuscanine3531]

Option packages?

[@SigAXG320]

Would love to hear how the Soft tex in the LC compare to the full leather in the first edition. You can add leather trimmed seats with the premium package upgrade in the LC, but I'm not sure it's worth it. If the soft tex is anything like the outgoing Lexus GX460 soft tex, they will be plenty comfortable and easier to maintain than the full leather.

[@yolo_burrito]

You mentioned the 1958 has 18” wheels and when you say the tire size it’s 245/70r17. I think the correct is r18 or dies the 1958 get 17” rims?

[@UncleFjester]

*Not one has 3 wiper blades, side visors, or analog off-road gauges?*

[@CanadianSatoshi]

Pretty insane a vehicle like this doesn’t come standard with roof rails 😮

[@legion1630]

anyone have an idea how long softex lasts...am interested in the landcruiser edition but have no experience with softex..

[@j.k.j.j.k.j.99]

Wonder what the tow package includes??

[@jeffnaval4894]

Wait the land cruiser comes with 265 / 70 / r18 is that means it's 1 inch more ground clearance compare to base model 245 / 70 / r18?

[@Digiphex]

I'd buy it with the tt V6 of the Lexus GX but offering no power plant option is pretty dumb. Lost a sale here.

[@jamesgiulie3582]

Nice Perfect for my wife and aunts Send us the 80 series, change nothing. Currently have an 80, will be 34 years old in 2024, and yes purchased a 1991 in 1990

[@ConnorJoyce-cq4do]

Does the 1958 base model have both the rear and centre locking diffs? Only saw it say for the rear but never saw it mention if the centre is standard across the board as well

[@pieternaessens2815]

Centre would be standard, as usually the rear diff lock can often be optional.

[@crbourret]

At that price point I may upgrade from my 2018 4Runner

[@ronaldmizrahi]

Awesome video Jeff! Waiting for the new sr5 premium 3rd row 4 runner. Thanks again! 😊

[@Toyotajeff]

You’re welcome!!

[@PatrickMC]

[@michaellugo8013]

Should have dual exhaust like the toyota tacoma trd pro

[@user-ov1zu2or9g]

Are they 5 or 7 seaters?

[@NoxNoctisUmbra]

I hope moon roof is an option. I would not like to have it when I buy the middle of the pack LandCruser edition.

[@lunasaii8]

It would be nice if the headlights could be replaced to give the mid tier a first edition look

Trying to decide between the Land Cruiser 250 and the Lexus GX550. I'm not sure if I'm going to purchase either one. I want the 300 series Landcruiser and was ready to order one when the news came that they would not be sold in North America😢 Sooooo dissipating

[@gregjoubert5118]

Great video Jeff! Wondering if the 1958 has a lumbar support?

[@healingenso7923]

No power seats in the 1958, I know that much. Doesn't look promising. As someone who wants 5000-way power seats to support a spine that has done too many miles over too many years, I wouldn't hold out much hope for lumbar support in the 1958.

[@kabisayago]

No digital rear view mirror?

[@american_chevy616]

I’m definitely getting the 1958

[@---rg1gb]

Jeff. Roof Side rails on the mid trim land cruiser and first edition but not on 1958 correct??

[@Toyotajeff]

Yes I believe that's right on

[@1993heartbreaker]

What about suspension?

I’d take the new one for sure

[@youredxspanktube]

[@thebearded_guardian3671]

So how is Toyota protecting hybrids from the things we are going to be doing with them - such as water crossings. Are we able to put snorkles on them and really water ford with them?

[@jonesaaron62]

33% but at the new interest it's the same price as the old ones. Toyota was smart.

[@SSPDIVING]

it's about time they're bringing a boxy land crusier tot he states! We would also love a 70 series! lol shocked they have a 4 cylinder in this thing but I trust toyota.

[@AGC828]

Sounds well thoughtout . If anyting i would have liked to have seen Toyota offer a "sport" edition with 100 extra HP and 100 moore ftlb of torque....give us a 4 second LC. Even if we probably won't NEED it for urben driving/everyday tasks. Most will never take their LC off-road. :) At most to the cottage...on "flat" gravel/pavement roads.....so any off-road ablity" for ANY LUX SUV is to help sell that SUV....

[@Marley6942]

How does Toyota fit 245/70 R17s on 18 inch wheels 😅

[@LearnAboutSC]

how does the hybrid system work with this engine? How does the battery get and stay charged?

[@Marley6942]

The engine charges the battery

[@scottsong20]

Hey Jeff when will the dealers start taking down payment for the new Land Cruiser?

[@Toyotajeff]

They already are. At least several that I’ve heard from.

[@happyturbomama]

Will we be able to spec out/upgrade the middle grade Land Cruiser to include everything the First Edition includes minus the appearance items? Is there anything missing as far as technology on the First Edition. Ultimately I’m wanting the most Luxurious option of the Land Cruiser as my hwy cruiser. I would prefer the GX but can’t wait on the hybrid and can’t suffer through the poor mpg of the non-hybrid GX. Appreciate any advice

[@Danni696]

Huge dealer markups won’t make the Toyota dream of a ”cheaper” land cruiser possible. I’m guessing base models at 75 k and most Toyota fans buying a base SR5 Tacoma from Mexico instead.

[@zackamanda9799]

The only thing I don't like on all trim levels , are the rims. Would of liked to see something like the TRD style rims that were found on the Tacoma , FJ Cruiser , and 4Runner. In my eyes this is the new 4Runner with a new name , since the next generation 4Runner is to be completley different , more like a FJ Cruiser/Jeep style from what I have heard. The current 4Runner and previous models shared a lot with the Lexus GX. Now the new Land Cruiser shares those same similarities with the new Lexus GX.

[@american_chevy616]

Could only imagine the price. I would get one as I’m looking for another vehicle

[@ChiefComplaintX]

6, 7 or 8 seater trim?

[@user-xs7dw8et6j]

If I can get a slightly smaller machine that tows and goes off road AND goes to the store, all just for me, I'm happy. Not even my old FJ Cruiser could do all of that (didn't tow much).

[@user-xs7dw8et6j]

@@healingenso7923 Yea, makes sense for your needs. Why do the Big SUVs make you mad?

[@healingenso7923]

@@user-xs7dw8et6j - Fair question. Really, there is no perfect full size SUV for me. I want to tow 10,000 pounds, off-road like a Grand Cherokee Trailhawk and get 30mpg. Of course, there's no such beast. But almost every full sized SUV is 3-row and I have absolutely no need for that extra row. I travel alone and don't want to waste money and space on a third row, that I can't remove completely to have a totally flat floor. I know one or two do have a 2-row option (Expedition might, I think) but they are pretty rare. The new Ford Ranger might do enough for me. But with everything getting smaller and less powerful, choices diminish.

I think the First Edition is limited to 5000 units.

Thank you from Saudi Arabia

[@dmckee2570]

Why Why Why not make the back seats lay down flat? You can go to the wild side but then must pitch a tent bc your awesome 4x4 seats will not lay down flat. That's the main complaint with the 4runner. No camping in the 4runner bc of the crazy fold in the seats. I hope they fix that in the new one. Toyota even advertises and puts cup holders and USB ports in the cargo area but you can not lay down flat.

[@gecko399]

Same with my 2007 FJ. I was hoping for the lay flat also. Gonna still need my RTT I guess.

[@jamesgiulie3582]

[@Toyotajeff]

I would expect many dealers will ask for a markup yes.

[@AJ-bh7vm]

This looks exactly like a 2000 Nissan Xterra.

[@cropcircle5693]

I kinda feel like they missed a big 4th demographic, the "City Slicker" edition. Could have been optimized for primarily suburban and urban lifestyle. Could be lighter weight none of the heavy off road stuff, optimized for fuel economy/maybe even a hybrid for 30+MPG, lower ride, etc. I mean, who do they think they're fooling with all this? Everybody already knows most of the people buying these are going to fall into the use pattern I just described and would appreciate the adjustments. Most of these will never see dirt, much less actual camping of off roading. I love these and think they're awesome, but the idea of all the people loading all this weight around for no reason while doing nothing to adjust our collective fuel usage comes off as ridiculously tone deaf in todays world. I would jump at such a vehicle but I'd be pretty hesitant about these as is as a daily driver. Ultimately these are going to be driven 90% on roads in cities with no need for the features that add weight and bloat resource use.

[@user-dh9sp5iu9c]

Agree - they need a City Slicker version with a smooth Petrol V6
