I wheel with all and have insight thanks to that. Land Rover, Toyota, and Jeep have incredible traction control systems. I get you are trying to get some traction for your channel with that type of title, but I don’t see why Jeep owners will care. Jeep has an excellent offroad traction control system. For example, I had to buy a 20 year old Jeep because my JL’s offroad traction control almost made every trail too easy (exceptions Holy Cross & Mount Blanca). It’s a shame that Toyota didn’t give the LC Prado more stock ground clearance… I love the way it looks!

Completely agree with your comment on ground clearance. 8.7 inches is very low for a serious off roader (for example, standard Wrangler Rubicon w/33" tires 10.8", LR Defender 11.5", Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 10.9", Bronco (Sasquatch) 11.5"). In the end, it really isn't a serious off roader without a lift.

the constant scrolling of dash alerts are ridiculous... we know in 4lo, things are disabled, do we need a new reminder every 5 seconds? NO!

Another advantage of the eKDSS in the new GX is it is implemented on both front and rear whereas the sway bar disconnect is only on the front. Granted, the solid rear axle doesn't need as much help for articulation, but eKDSS "disconnecting" the rear does help some vs. the rear sway bar on the LC 250 that is always connected.

You are 100% correct I wanted to see how much better RTI was with the feature when Dan Edmunds did his RTI test the Land Cruiser did better. It was negligible but it did get higher… go figure 🤷🏻♂️

@byronlarson553421 сағат бұрын
Ground clearance is the one thing that I believe the LC really stumbled on. There is no way it can compete with Broncos, Wranglers, Defenders, and 4Runners (but 4Runner is also only moderately better) without a lift for rocky terrain. Maybe that was intentional but it seems odd.

@ - I know what you mean. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone will ever really take Wrangler head on. Even the latest FJ Cruiser, which was great, had IFS and couldn't really match Wrangler, though people certainly tried. The Grenadier kind of comes the closest, but it's way too expensive for what it is and has its own issues.

You once were a Jeep owner, the land cruiser is closer to the bronco., because of the IFS. You gave your bronco away before your 392.
