Comparison between a 2008 Lexus LX 570 and a 2008 Landcruiser 200 series.
What are the differences, what can you expect to pay? Also see why these SUVs last so long. AHC vs KDSS and much more.
Forgot to mention TOWING Capacity:
Although the same engine, torque, weight and frame, the LX and LC have different towing capacity. This is because of the suspension.
THe LX was rated for 8000 when it first came out, then downgraded to 7000.
This is because the AHC when under too much load, will go into safety mode and drop to the Low level, which is not safe for highways.
The Landcruiser is rated for 8500 with its fixed suspension.
Also for off roading, the KDSS is far superior, allowing for decoupling of the sway bars when off road, enabling the wheels to hang low in a dip or tuck in high in the wheel well.
So towing is a major consideration between these two as well as aggressive off roading on terrain that is more than just a fire road.

Ive had a 97' 80 Series since 2012 and it now has over 360K and wouldn't sale it unless they were offering 3-4 times book value! Its been a awesome reliable go anywhere ride and was so impressed w/ it that I just bought a one owner 2014 Lexus LX570 w/ 125K on the clock w/ impeccable service records and didn't have a second thought pulling the trigger on it!😉It drives like new and the cosmetic condition shows the previous owner was meticulous and I couldn't have asked for a better example! Love these vehicles and they are so worth every penny! Great Vid and I look forward to more in the future❤💯

[@CruisingTheLand]

You have Two if the beat. And you can never get bored as they drive so differently. variety is the spice of life!

[@EscapedTexan]

I just snatched up an 08 single owner LX570 w/ 130k mls for $24k. Garage kept, all maintenance on time, no smoker. Had a love tap on the rear bumpa a few yrs ago that led it to be so low, otherwise probably would have gone for $28-$29k, maybe over 30 given what I've seen these past few months on autotrader. Giggity-Giggity!

[@Blackpanther_risen]

Nice trucks, hoping to find a similar yr LX in good milage & condition. I think those look better than the 2 current models. The major difference between Japanese vehicles vs other brands is that Japanese vehicles are built to last vs built to last a few yrs (Stalentis/dodge) then junk it so new vehicles sell…..more profit for manufacturers. Best slogan Ive heard on Toyotas….”the best new cars make the best used cars”

[@googlesecurity2955]

Im just a 20 year old but my love for the lc200 especially that first 2008 model is so big. Practicality, cheap parts,service and maintenance, powerful, large suv, spacious interior, built to last, diesel, v8, you can buy a bumper kit if you like a 2020 look. Damn I will buy a 2010 one and will use it forever.

[@CruisingTheLand]

They are amazing SUVs. I have a 40, 62, 80,100 and 200. The 200 drives so effortlessly, the 2008 is faster than the 2020... 7.1s 0-60 It is the ultimate and best built overlander out there. Versatile, and built tonlast 600k miles and more. Mine has 200k and still drives like new... it amazes me to this day.

[@CruisingTheLand]

Well, oil.change is cheap for a 5.7L, about $65 at the dealer. But other repairs can get pricey at the dealer (still better than LX dealership service, for same car as LX570) but any toyomaster can do repairs for much less. Buy your own parts and have fixed at toyomaster repair shop. For example Timing belt maintenance: Lexus: 2000 Toyota: 1400 Toyo shop: 650 (400 labor, 250 parts)

[@CruisingTheLand]

LX570 is amazing with AHC suspension and 383hp.. Comparing to.other SUVs makes sense, but an E55? Is the LX faster? Lol I have a E55 and for me... best 4 door car. Mine is 600hp with intoxicating deep tone from exhaust (video on my channel) I have a FJ40 lifted... its better than my LX570 and my E55, at roxk crawling and going where no other goes... i have a Porsche Twin Turbo, and it can rip around corners like no other... So I would say, all my cars/trucks, are the best I have ever driven, in esch of their categories

Just purchased a 2008 200 series Land Cruiser. Grey with Grey interior he put Bridgestone Dueler A/T 285 /70/17 on TRD forged Toyota Rock Warrior Wheels. Old Man Emu OME Lift. Rear Air bags. So different than the 80 100 series I’ve driven. Feels like I’m in the Tank from Fury. “Best Job I’ve ever had”. My only disappointment was way back seats are not designed to come out.

Great video!

[@Shapmb]

Where do you get your aftermarket Lx parts?

[@JZMartinez]

@Cruising The Land at 8:06 you mention repairing the LX's driver seat. How would you do this and what are the end results? I'm considering a late 100 or early 200. The better prices tend to correlate with driver seat wear. What's a good fix for ripped or cracking leather? I looked at a premium priced 2011 LX570 that drove like new with 101K miles. Front row leather seats were OK, but cracking while the second row seats looked miserable. I'm guessing kids moving in and out of the vehicle's wore on the second row. I'm getting comfortable with >200K mi LCs. If an LC 100 or 200 can legitimately make 400-500K then 200-250K miles could be very reasonable. I'm driving 10-12K miles annually, so a LC 100 at 180-220K miles might be only 240K-280K miles in five years. By then, the LC 200 would be in my all cash price range. I feel like if I could freshen up rough interiors, my family would be happy with a late 100 series. Am subscribed and liking your videos.

[@CruisingTheLand]

I have replaced just the driver bottom, which gets the most wear, and went with Leather. What a difference it makes! Vinyl is cheaper, but leather will be much better and you will be happy you did. I paid $300 for it to be done here in Socal. I also have a 200 with almost 200k and my wife has a 570 with 210. Both drive like new. Such quality builds coming out of Japan. I have videos comparing those two as well.

[@jtsblocks]

[@CruisingTheLand]

Ahhh Yes the Black Garnet. Very cool color, black in the shade, but in sun the metallic fleck changes the color to the Garnet.

thanks, trying to decide between gx 460/470, lx 4/570, or toyota land cruiser. Originally was looking @ sequoia, but not a fan of it's puffiness. And the 460 just seems a little too... trimmy.

[@CruisingTheLand]

100 or 200 series... you won't regret. Sequoia, its the details that are filmsy.

[@brianbanks8905]

I was wondering if you could share information on your rims on the 08 LX as well as the tire size? Kinda digging those rims. Any tire rub with your setup?

[@CruisingTheLand]

Minimal tire rub. The wheels are Black Rhino. Size 285/50/20

[@mightymike9544]

Great video! I have few questions on your 200 series. >What tire size and is it rubbing. >information on headlight tint. >leveling the front suspension did you adjust the KDSS. Thanks.

[@CruisingTheLand]

The tire size is 285/70/17 Thats the equivalent to a 33". It does have slight rubbing on the front tires when steering is fully turned, but very minor at that. This is with brand new BFG KO2s. As they wear, the rubbing will decrease. The rubbing is either stock height or if you do the 1.5" spacer lift. The spacer lift is amazing. Keeps the geometry and handling the same, yet give you a lift of 1.5". You MUST reset the KDSS by unscrewing the release valves about 3 turns, let it settle then re torque. There is a video on KZbin for that. The rear doesn't need to be done as its already higher than the front, and once you lift the front, the rear just matches up and looks perfect. And no changes to any other components. LCs in other countries come with the spacers from factory. The headlight tint is Bronze color, which you can buy on eBay for $12. Hope that helps! I love the lift and was cheap to do! 30mm spacers for $60 and $200 to install.

[@mightymike9544]

Thanks for the nice videos. Quick question about your home with one garage on each side. Are the garages 3 cars each or two car garage? Also, I have not seen this architectural style of the home; very unique and good looking home, having two garages. Which state your home is situated and how much you bought /built this home for, if you don't mind. Thanks again.

[@CruisingTheLand]

[@guusish]

Good video! What fuel economy do you get from the lexus normal? And how are the differences between the 100 end 200 v8s? What pro and con between them . Thanks guys

[@CruisingTheLand]

Hi Guus, Both the V8s in the 100 and 200 (470 and 570) get about the same fuel economy MPG. The 383 hp 5.7 off set the higher HP with a little more efficiency, so burns same amount of gas as the LX 470.

Do you recommend Michelin Latitude Tour HPs for the LX? I live in a very hot country and the stock Dunlops keep dry rotting and wearing fast. Considering switching to Pirellis Scorpio Verde Plus 2 next but I see most people have Michelins on their LX. What's your experience?

[@CruisingTheLand]

The Michelin are the best! I use the Defenders, which have a 75k mile warranty. Keep the Receipt and if they are worn after 40k (which a LX470 will wear them down) then they give you 40% off a new set. Just have installed at a retail tire shop.

@@CruisingTheLand Thanks for the reply. I’ve tried looking for Michelin Defenders for my stock rims (285/50R20), but it seems they only sell Michelin Latitude Tour HPs for that size here.

[@338352687]

From my understanding of the engine, the LX does not requires premium fuel, but recommends it. Using premium fuel will allow it to achieve a 2 hp and 2 lb-ft increase over the LC's 381 / 401 output. Otherwise, you can run regular gas with no negative impact to the engine.

Also done at dealership). Or a 2016 Land Cruiser. My big thing is ride quality/comfort and road/cabin noise while driving. LX is $60k with 20k miles. Land cruiser is $60k with 20k miles. Which would you go for and why?

[@CruisingTheLand]

I have both... If you are going to do some overlanding, both are good, but LC has KDSS which is better than AHC.

[@208offroad]

@@CruisingTheLand hello! Can you please explain why kdss is better than ahc? Thank you

[@CruisingTheLand]

For ovrlanding. It disconnects the sways and give you full articulation.

With the 22" rims did you have to do any mods for no rubbing and doyou think they would fit on a 2011 570?

No mods..barely rubs with full trunk when tires are new. With he AHC, the ride is great even with 22s.

I believe you misunderstood him. He didn't say "stay away from '09, 10, 11". He said "you want to stay '08, '09, and 2010 and 2011". The "08" kinda sounded like "away".

[@asmcdon1]

Do you put regular on the Toyota and premium in the Lexus?

[@CruisingTheLand]

Regular in both, premium every 4 fill ups. These are built for world wide distribution where fuel in many areas isn't the best. 87 cotane is fine, 81 every once in a while with cleaners in it like Shell with Vpower, Chevron with Techron or even Costco gas is top tier.

The LX570 taillight I bought tinted from a professional shop. Its not wrapped, they are sprayed then wet sanded to be snooth.

[@devonpeters9458]

I know this seems like a silly question, but do you think not having the KDSS makes the LX 570 not as good as the GX 460 off road?

Cruising The Land thanks for your thoughts. That’s what I’m thinking as well.

[@jdpst20]

Such a great little review!! I'm moving from Hawaii to Colorado in a few weeks and sold my 2003 Montero and am itching to get my next truck and I'm between these two vehicles. I would LOVE a LC just for the fact that my parents had a 100 Series when I was young and it would be cool to get a 200. 200's though are so few and far between any more and I want to stay south of 100k miles on the LC orrrrrr the LX under 70k miles. If I can find one for under 40 grand I would be in heaven and hopefully get a 1 owner.

[@CruisingTheLand]

I wouldn't worry too much about 1 owner. Alot of these LCs or LXs were Brass Hats (GM from dealer drives for a year before they lease or sell) and that adds an owner. Service records are more important than owners, and a southern truck, out of the rust belt. I have had all, 100, 200, LC LX... all are great.

[@jdpst20]

@@CruisingTheLand yeah so true! I’ve seen some that are two wonders but yeah the second owner is the dealer. I’m stoked to finally make a mover her in about a month so I can finally rid my addiction of being on cargurus or auto tempest daily

I found a white on tan 2010 1 owner clean carfax 87k miles asking 35,990. Looks super clean from the photos I’ve seen. Has full service history from local Toyota dealer all maint intervals completed. I think just had new tires and pads about 15k ago. Seems like a nice deal.

[@agentdees]

I’m in the preliminary stages of searching for an LX 570 in this time period and stumbled on this video! Why do you recommend staying away from 09-12? That’s the time period I was looking at.

[@hicistan]

I am waiting for that answer as well :)

[@CruisingTheLand]

I have to rewatch my video. I don't recall why I would say that, as I have a 2008.. a d 09,10,11 and off year 12 (those were 2011s) are all the same. So there would be no reason. I think I meant the 2008 is a great deal as exact same as 09-11 My LX570 is going up for sale.

[@elitesunglasses8589]

Do you put regular gas in your LX? If so has it effected it much?

[@CruisingTheLand]

87 octane. These are built for world wide distribution and some fuel out there is pretty crap. Maybe every 5th fillup pit 91 oxtane to keep it clean.

[@devonpeters9458]

Cruising The Land this was the exact question I had. So, no issues from using 87? I assume you get about 13-14 mpg on average? Trying to determine if I can realistically afford the jump in gas. If I can do 87 I think I could

[@charlieHorsie]

What's the reasoning behind "I would stay away from 09, 10, 11 and beyond" if mechanically it's the same just different body redesign? Are you saying this because of the price or does newer models have manufacturing flaws ?

I meant price. Mechanically they are all sound. Just a 2008 is same as 09,10,11

This video played a big part convincing me to buy a 2008 model LX570 here in Canada. I will take it home soon. We have problem of salt and snow during winter so the car does have some rust underneath. body has no signs of rust. It has done around 142K miles, costed me 16K USD before taxes. How much worried should I be about the rust and what can I do to slow down the rust process? Edit: That deal didn't go through. Ended up buying 2010.

[@CruisingTheLand]

You can spray rust inhibitor from Eastwood. But afterwards you can get the undercoating oil spray. Also in winter, don't garage the LX... leave it outside so salt doesn't have a chance to melt. If left below the freezing point, salt will do less damage. Congrats on the 570!!

[@wsa76]

Thanks for a quick reply.

[@dzikijohnny]

@@CruisingTheLand Leaving it outside is something that I had never heard before. How often should you wash it then? I live in Minnesota.

I wouldnt wash it often... But when winter is done, and no more salt in roads, do a major washing, underneath, wheel wells etc... get any traces of salt off.

[@CruisingTheLand]

140k high mileage? Not with a 2010 LX570! You have a timing chain, so you don't have to worry about the timing belt change. Your LX is built to go 500k++ miles. Just keep up your regular maintenance and you will enjoy 2 decades out of that LX! At 140k it is barely broken in!
