What's it Like to Live with a 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser (POV)

I don't care how capable it is, $60k for a cloth seat 4 cylinder suv is not acceptable.

[@StripedTurkey]

Definitely too expensive for what you are getting!

[@canto_v12]

The base spec is really for enthusiasts to use and mod IMO. The mid grade starts in the low $60s and is much better equipped if that's your thing.

It doesnt have a sunroof which means it will not require maintenance much so less service costs. Good for Overland

[@Matt-uf9wc]

i love your attitude and the land cruiser

[@Rollingstone1988]

I love it but can't justify 60k for such little you get for it. Not to mention another 5-10k of dealer upcharges. The CX-70 for example you can get the TOP trim for shy of 60k and get TONS of stuff with it, wireless charging, heated and ventilates seats, heads up display, digital everything, amazing leather interior, moon roof, etc etc etc

Yesterday I took this car for a test drive, the engine and driving did not disappoint me, but the car itself is boring, I’m not tall, it was cramped for me, the price is too high, one thing justifies that it was assembled in Japan.

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@R56Cooper]

Big fan of the the 2024 Land Cruiser, but at around 60k for the 1958 trim, the 64k base trim Lexus GX550 might be the better configuration--🎉

[@MilesPerHr]

The GX with that 6-cylinder is mighty attractive

[@canto_v12]

The base GX is a compelling value for sure. I went with the mid trim LC and I just like the LC aesthetic over the GX. But at that level the LC is much better equipped than the 1958 trim.

[@R56Cooper]

@canto_v12 wow congrats on the new Land Cruiser! I also think the character is more appealing in Land Cruiser form as well-- after further research, I found that the mid trim does get an upgraded (non-JBL) 10 speaker system that apparently sounds very good at least from factory (can easily add a powered sub to fill it out). The mid trim with no-premium package might be the better option than the 1958. Adding the premium pack looks to push the price into Lexus GX550 overtrail territory. But at low/mid 60s for an LC mid-spec-- might have more curb appeal than the Lexus (more sense of adventure and heritage)

[@canto_v12]

@@R56Cooper thanks! Exactly as you said, the base GX probably has a nicer feel inside but the LC gave me a cooler vibe and almost the same tech.

[@R56Cooper]

@canto_v12 💯 will have to get to a dealership and go for a test drive! And the cooler vibe of the LC I need to see in person. Have had many land rovers over the years-- while I do like the newer defender, it just lacks basic safety tech that comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 (lane tracing assist, etc). Those features are essential to have especially here in LA/socal/freeway driving. Pair that with Toyota (made in Japan) reliability along with the hybrid engine (that comes standard with a 2400 watt inverter)-- makes for one special vehicle. I've also seen youtubers with Toyota hybrids like the Sienna or prius sleep inside their vehicles and have the AC or heat on the whole night- With the HVAC being powered by the hybrid battery (running completely silent like an EV)-- then the engine cycling on to charge the battery up. Might make the new LC an ideal car camping setup too!

They should offer this in the 4T no hybrid MAX BS, they could sell these for $45k that MAX is way overpriced and in most cases these cars, like the GH will cost well over $6000 for new batteries. The 4T has plenty of power where you need it, I can chirp all 4 on take off and bear down in corners hard

[@luistorregrosa9369]

Nice This is the best

[@TheMiklaw]

in Europe the Toyota will be preferred to the Lexus as it is available with the 2.8 inline 4 Diesel, for the customer shopping for a Land Cruiser, towing, durability, longer service interval and fuel efficiency are in the Diesels favor.

[@allendavid4139]

It’s slow especially after you recorded a similar 60 mph dash in a naturally aspirated V6 Nissan Frontier,which also recorded similar gas mileage but the Nissan only required regular as opposed to the premium in the Toyota and the Toyota dealer will probably mark up MSRP

[@alexsmba]

But the Nissan doesn’t have 465 lbs-ft of torque at 1700rpm. This thing is a torque monster.
