*HANDS ON* Toyota's New EV Pickup Truck and Land Cruiser are entering Uncharted Electrified Waters

#Toyota #Landcruiser #truck #pickup
Toyota just pulled the wraps off of its future #EV #pickup that is about the same size as the #Tacoma called the #EPU .. We also detail in this video the #LCse which is a unibody EV with a Landcrusier name and capability.
EPU
Next-generation mid-size pickup truck concept, with a monocoque body delivering high durability to create a practical yet stylish BEV. At just over 5 meters long with a double cab design, the EPU's monocoque structure also allows for a versatile deck space that caters to a broader range of user applications.
The rear of the cabin links boldly with the deck to accommodate diverse user preferences, supporting a wide range of mobility lifestyles, including outdoor activities.
BEV quietness is accompanied by packaging with a low center of gravity for superior handling stability and ride comfort.
Main specifications
Length (mm) / Width (mm) / Height (mm) 5,070 / 1,910 / 1,710
Wheelbase (mm) 3,350
Passenger capacity 5
LAND CRUISER Se
Offers the high-torque driving performance unique to BEVs, together with an elegant, stylish design. Toyota further broadens the Land Cruiser brand's appeal with a three-row SUV that caters to the world's diverse needs.
BEV quietness helps create a comfortable cabin space when driving in urban areas and other on-road situations.
A monocoque body also offers highly responsive handling and confidence in tackling rough terrain.
Main specifications
Length (mm) / Width (mm) / Height (mm) 5,150 / 1,990 / 1,705
Wheelbase (mm) 3,050

That electric truck looks nice!

[@ryeshelton7953]

the pickup truck is gorgeous.... please take my money 😍

[@KirkKreifels]

I think it looks cool too!

[@sevencostanza3931]

I would like Toyota to also take my money, BUT i do not have money to buy any car. 😭

[@AmericaFirst069]

Take your wallet, nothing but a future money pit.

[@AmericaFirst069]

​@@KirkKreifelsWhat looks cool is staying away from electric vehicles that's the cool thing.

[@AaronVets]

@@AmericaFirst069 🤡

[@GT-gt4bf]

I like the pickup!

[@CruiseControl1]

Toyota make the EPU or Stout with a dual motor awd, at least 250 miles of range and keep the price under $40k and I will trade in my ev for this immediately!!! Thank you Kirk for showing us this.

[@JDDevice]

Also look out for Fisker. They have a Model called Alaska with similar dimensions and motorized midgate.

[@CruiseControl1]

@@JDDevice I like the Alaska but not sure I trust Fisker as the Karma was very unreliable.

[@todddavis-mu3sc]

Toyota make your cars look like . The prototypes shown here ! I love the look !

[@avdp9095]

I think the current tidel wave of new cars, both Lexus, Toyota and concepts, shows one thing.... confidence and technological superiority. Magnificent!

[@approots]

The EPU is everything I want and nothing more. You guys weren't thrilled with the front end or unibody, but that's what's needed for an EV. Look at the ridiculously sized batteries in the Big 3 EV trucks and corresponding price. The front end isn't chunky because it needs to be aerodynamic and the sloped hood looks to direct wind smoothly over the windshield. The Unibody is lighter, allows a deep bed, and makes the midgate possible. A 6 foot bed in a crew cab! Look at the rear wheels positioned so far back. It will allow more rearward cargo weight like overhanging lumber. This is a revolutionary design and doesn't seem like many realize that yet.

[@TheMrDamp]

What the tough truck guys don’t realize is this little truck will be just as practical as their big F250s for a fraction of the price

[@richardkusimenkah]

​@@TheMrDampi wish this could be shouted from tall buildings! I wonder when America will wake and realize that small trucks now a days are a better bargain and are just as capable as the cruise ships with 4 wheels we see on the roads.

[@JDDevice]

​@@TheMrDampNot sure about "fraction of the price." Let's wait and see

[@JDDevice]

Fisker also threw its hat in the midsized pickup game. The Alaska has its midgate motorized as standard, but I must admit, I prefer the exterior design of the EPU. Also, Toyota did a better job choosing paint and tire for their display model. All footage of the Fisker Alaska looks silly. They used low rolling resistance EV tires on their launch truck🥴. Not sure why on earth they'd do that. Toyota does have the upperhand when it comes to truck design, but Henrik should have the upperhand with the BEV internals. Eitherway, super excited to see EV midsized trucks on the roads. I suspect they may bite into the SUV market by a lot. Especially because they offer same interior space.

[@MichaelBrashier]

Exactly. I would go for an even smaller version. The EV architecture allows so much more space and flexibility.

[@remiilatte]

I would love it if Toyota released the epu in NA especially if it has the NACS port

[@Channel-jj9zw]

Please bring this to the US soon! Very cool and we really need electric trucks.

[@MichaelBrashier]

This truck would fit my exact use case. Commute Mon-Friday. Drive 300 miles in long weekends to the remote beachs loaded with water sports equipment, able to drive on sand.

[@KPHVAC]

Toyota needs to make a small hybrid truck with AWD for North America! Plus a plug-in hybrid option.

[@swainp2012]

With a 40% premium over hybrid and 50% premium over comparable ICE ? Over priced and won’t sell.

[@mikej238]

​​@@swainp2012wth are you 🚬40 or 50% premium are you brain dead?

[@jysmtl]

@@swainp2012I’ll take that bet.

[@Mike-Minion]

i love all these cars toyota is showing but they are all 5 years out at least.

[@wackit6756]

This EV truck is incredible! I agree with the badging on the new Toyota's. I’ve always thought the current icon they have is the worst Auto logo around. It always reminds me of a man with a Sombrero on his head. It needs a redo, but spelling out Toyota is a good alternative.✌️

[@Jayzee31519]

Nah Honda and Hyundai are the worst, Kia did the right thing redesigning theirs. Toyota’s isn’t pretty but I wouldn’t say the worst

[@AR-up4xe]

Hey Kirk and David, love watching the two of you working together, great content!! While you're there, can you get the scoop from Lexus on the GX 550 Hybrid, when will it be available in the states and what the specs/mileage will be?? Thanks!!

[@Golfreak]

I love the fact that you can fold the pickup bed into the car. Very functional when you need to haul longer items. Do any of the current pickup truck that has a fold down bed into the car ?

[@albrustmeyer753]

Truck from the future Wow look good 👍

[@byhsu6140]

that pick up truck actually looks very nice, from the side it looks a little like the Honda Ridgeline.

[@Mr.Hatchet_]

LC-SE looks realy dope

[@jojoleaf2112]

I'd get that pickup

[@paullorenzo2465]

That four dots behind the land cruiser ev, could be a drone. Since it looks like a housing around it. Like launch the drone to do some scouting.

[@nicholasriley3569]

Love the Range Rover vibe. Love the B-Roll Footage + Music. Thx!

[@Ezero8]

This Toyota EV pickup is everything I wanted the Hyundai Santa Cruz to be.

[@a.c.7541]

Looks waaay better than the cybertruck

[@user-zh9kc7tw4n]

The looks of these are amazing. Lets see what will be on offer for us to buy.

[@nofameculture]

Always a Great job guys! Let's get the podcast started 😁

[@artieartya]

This is so cool. Loving the direction Toyota and Lexus. Keep it going.

[@stephenwinter8892]

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I'm so jealous thanks for the presentation

[@meganote]

The truck looks great. The front of Land Cruiser is hideous, but looks good from other angles.

[@chasedesanto3939]

"I need a break" 😂😂 "B-roll, go go go go" 😂😂

[@SuperSaqer]

Finally a flagship unibody SUV after teasing us with one for 20 years starting with the HP-X concept and more egregiously the LF-1 Limitless concept which not only looked more production ready but they kept teasing it in other product teasers.

[@albrustmeyer753]

Beautiful Land Cruiser export 😍

[@theluminary5324]

The front end of the truck on the suv would have been perfect

[@aubeenlopez1051]

Nice you got David, love that guy! One of the best channels on Toyota and Asian vehicles. Great insider info.

[@KirkKreifels]

Right on!

[@user-jm5dw3gm8y]

Yes David is very good in giving you a convoluted explanation why Toyota won’t let you do a factory order like Subaru. Even though the TPS manufacturer system is the best system in the world to do factory orders for customers since it is so flexible. Toyota says damn the customer, just buy what we send you! However David has a strategy to beat the system. Why should a customer have to try to beat the system when buying a $40,000 or more vehicle? Subaru lets you. I guess Toyota is above that. It’s crazy and Toyota owns 20% of Subaru.

[@Garcia....]

Thank you for sharing!!!👍👍👍 What about the range in miles vs battery Kw?

[@martinmcintyre7623]

The "TOYOTA" logo treatments are a great thing for the company. It infers capability and durability, something that Toyota has delivered on for years. Other companies have already caught on to this. Namely Ford with anything Raptor, Ram re-engineering the brand from the Dodge Ram logo. GMC and Jeep never adopted a non-lettered logo for this reason.

[@sanfrediable]

Great Teamwork. It shows you guys really love cars!!

[@MichaelAllen-td1uu]

Loved the camera work on the ending video

[@KirkKreifels]

Thanks!

[@eduardomatos8405]

Would be cool to see EV's sell like Tesla sells them so we can avoid crazy markups and things like that. In Puerto Rico we have some crazy car prices for new and even used cars. Anyways, I really like the pickup, it reminds me a bit of the Ford MAVERICK which is kind of a smaller pickup truck which is exactly what I'm looking for, just a decently sized vehicle with a truck bed for when I have to transport tall objects (appliances, furniture, wood) all while still being a good family vehicle. I want to see a blue one ;)

[@avineld84]

when will be mini Landcruiser ( hopper ) will introduce i am waiting on that, hopefully that will be hybrid instead of full electric? And will be available in us market..

[@ForgetMeNatz]

Holy!!! WOWWWW!!! 😍😍

All I want for Christmas is a SMALL! HYBRID! AWD(atleast optional) Toyota pickup truck! around the size of Corolla and priced like how OG Ford Maverick MSRP used to be ! As a BONUS I want a great interior functionality like how Honda Fit were, Honda Element? I want maximum use of interior space, all plastic is perfectly OK too! Come on TOYOTA be my santa !!

[@windsolarupnorth7084]

[@LeoTheShortGuy]

Awesome

[@nel557]

Love your videos! So what happen to the MINI LAND CRUISER (FJ 4 doorish type) being shown months B4? Seems a lot of people are looking forward to that one, me included. Keep it up guys! Fr Manila here❤

[@scooby_stax]

Hey Kirk, did you see or hear anything about the new LFA?? We need an updated video

[@secondcreekworkshop3908]

We need the new Toyota Imv-0 in the USA, I would buy one of those on a heartbeat.

[@Paul-qe1uf]

As someone who went from an F250 to a Rivian R1T, I would not want anything smaller. Love my Rivian, and it has plenty of cabin space - but I do miss a full size bed.

[@lesp315]

In that case FO and keep driving Rivian. Who cares?

[@aalsera0]

From where can I order these models. When are they arriving KSA or UAE?

[@kooltanuki8519]

Love the truck!

[@L3x4Pr0ne]

Both of these cars are banger designs. I really dig them both.

[@yoranw4608]

*Now we can truly rely on EVs!* GO TOYOTA!

[@funkysafa]

This would be so perfect for so many.... but I keep seeing Toyota pulling back on their EV plans? Hope I am wrong... this would be a no brainer for our house.

[@tael6691]

Whats up with the narrow windows on the LC EV? Thats not good, you need and want the visibility that larger side windows give. This is a failure from the start because of style over function.

[@JMuro-zr6hn]

Great design, much comfortability and luxurious too. But it seems, is very delicate when it comes to rough roads and corrugations.

[@kathyfann]

What’s the towing capacity? We need to be able to pull little trailers, camp trailers or if we move we need to be able to pull a small U-Haul what’s the Tow weight

[@BremboT]

Toyota! Please make this EPU! The "gear shifter" on the dash with physical shifter is absolutely gorgeous! The whole truck needs to see light of day! Please! We don't all need massive cyber trucks or Silverado EVs. A nice compact usuable truck will do well. Please make this Toyota! If you can't make your own high efficiency motors, please consider partnering with Lucid or Fisker. Both are in need of partners to help ramp production.

[@fenix310]

They look very nice

[@wartable]

Don’t tarnish the Land Cruiser name like Ford did with the Mustang and the Mach-E. Call it something else. eCruiser or something.

[@The1SSGrant]

Completely agree! eCruiser is good and not difficult to come up with! I get Toyota wanting to make something approachable to buyers by using a familiar name, but if it’s a different vehicle, give it its own identity! They’ve gotta have a few people in marketing who get this 😅 No sense is alienating Land Cruiser owners who love them for what they have been and not just a name.

[@jpdoc5722]

I’d like that $25k Toyota version of RiViAN 😊👍

[@TheMrDamp]

If it’s actually 25k I’d be stoked but highly doubt it. Unfortunately it would need to be under 30k for me to buy new

[@approots]

Too many like me willing to pay more - up to $50k.

[@bobm1763]

can't wait for either the fully EV or the plug-in. only company I would go with.

[@glennworkman4765]

Did'nt Toyota recently announce that they were not going to pursue the EV market any longer?

[@lesp315]

Yes they did and bunch of morons believed that Toyota will go hydrogen. That's how you put competition to sleep.

[@aeronYTco]

Are BEVs better with SUVs, sedans, pick up trucks, or sports cars?

[@kkmingming]

I will buy it once it's available

[@JoshB913]

They need to add cameras to all sides like Tesla. All vehicles should have cameras on all sides.

[@Oni64]

I dont like the front end and the steering wheel of the EPU. but the LC looks pretty good. So I guess the Stout is not coming back :(

[@lesp315]

That is EXACETLY what I want. Please harry up. My 2010 Tundra is on it's last leg.

[@Skylancer727]

Those looked like capacitive sensors instead of buttons on the steering wheel. Not a fan of that. Plus it has the yoke style wheel. Being someone who drives on the highway a lot, while it's the safest way to hold a wheel, it's not the most comfortable long term to keep your hands on the sides exactly. I usually keep my hands slightly offset.

With how popular the Ford Maverick has been, a smaller EV truck makes a ton of sense. Giants like the Lightning and Cybertruck are just silly for 90% of people.

[@LiyanageFamily]

Finally Toyota starts changing but still a lot to improve the design. Probably they need a good designer for a futuristic look!

[@dalea4350]

Toyota, if you truly are reading these, please bring this truck to the US market. Ok, let me rephrase that, please bring an offroad version of this truck to the US market. Or, at least make a plug-in hybrid version of the new tacoma or 4Runner

I just don't understand why Toyota cars have to become an EV to adopt a more beautiful fluid euro style in their cars. This mini landcruiser would be a compelling hybrid offering.

​@@bestofalllifeAgreed, hybrids are hardly any better than a regular gas car, emissions are about the same, efficiency is slightly increased, but the pricing is much higher (using cheap NIMH batteries, to increase margins)
