[@epiccheese911]

I own a 2010 Prado (the model that was released after the one showed in the vid) with 400000 kms on the odo, it was for my mom and she just handed it to me at the beginning of the year for uni (first car). It's a bit more luxurious than the one in the video, I have 4 cameras, hydraulic suspension that lifts the car 5 cm, 2 locking differential (standard), all time 4wd and a cruise control radar, it was a lot of car for its amount back in 2010 (62,000$), it actually has more features than my dad's middle trimmed 2011 Land Cruiser 4.6L V8... We loved it so much that my parents replaced it with a 2017 Lexus GX460 (it surprisingly only has one locking differential). You can tell by our cars how much we like Toyota products lol

[@truthbetold89]

epiccheese911 my 2014 doesn't have a hydraulic suspension plus I only have one locking diff as well

[@epiccheese911]

human I have the VX.L trim, it's the top of the range model

[@valdius85]

How reliable is this hydraulic rear axle? I like the feature and one day I am considering LC150.

[@epiccheese911]

Waldemar Ishibashi the hydraulic suspension never failed and don't think will ever fail or show any faults. You can check out Hoovies Garage's 1998 Lexus LX with the exact same system which still works. Just one thing that I have realized with all Land Cruiser and LX models is that if you live somewhere hot, the car will lean to the side that you turn it and will take some time to adjust (1-15 minutes depends on the turn and the temperature).

It Guzzles gas and changing the timing belt is a PITA but I can't argue with the torque it gets. I will be taking mine to Moab soon as it is right down the road from me, perhaps I should film it and see if I make it on one of these videos? I know my other car, a 1988 Toyota Corolla, has a good shot at making it on these too! Lol keep up the great videos Scotty!

Scotty....loving your videos. We are currently prepping to travel in a year. We have purchased a travel trailer to live in full time, a 2007 Chevy single axle 1 ton for the tow vehicle, and now we are shopping for 2nd vehicle we will take with us. From KY and never ventured far.....but hoping to in our travels. Our 2nd vehicle needs to be my work car (travel nursing), and our exploration vehicle. We love camping and exploring. Not into big off road stuff, but want to get off the beaten path and into the outdoors. The Chevy is 2WD and we are considering second vehicle to be 4WD. Have driven a Toyota Sequoia -- liked but seemed really big. 4-Runner -- liked but seemed small (interior). Need room for camping gear, us, dogs, and I will be towing our kayak/camping trailer. After watching some reviews, now researching Land Cruisers. Looking in the used market. I am researching and seems the V8 is a killer on gas mileage. Did they make these in a V6 for the US? Would that be a better option, kinda sweet spot on 4WD but maybe a little better gas mileage? I appreciate all the great information you share. Thanks a bunch.
