They’re completely different in terms of the final result Land Cruiser has all the crawl control mts rear locker that the 4Runner has but WITH full time awd with a center locking diff, that’s a big deal. Not to mention it has kdss which is better at high speeds than a disconnecting swaybar optioned 4Runner Kdss transforms ride on and off road Disconnecting swaybar is only off road help and only for front Kdss impacts front and rear So really The land cruiser is still better And the 4Runner is still limited like before If you want everything

Is the 4Runner ground clearance of 9.2" official press release information and if so is that at the rear differential? Toyota claims the Tacoma has up to 11" of ground clearance for the TRD Pro and Trailhunter so I would think the 4Runner ground clearance would be equivalent to the same trim levels. Any additional clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This is going to be in a year or two the best Toyota deal. The 1958 I don't think will sell well (too expensive for what you get amenity wise), so you will see incentives. IF you want to build an LC for real offroad use this model will make a lot of sense, especially if there are decent incentives.

I've been pondering the new 4Runner and Land Cruiser. If they omit the 3rd-row seat, why not remove the armrests and cup holders to create additional space? Also, is there a solution for relocating the battery? Perhaps mounting the spare tire unit outside on the back of the rear door could lower the battery position, resulting in a flatter cargo area.

I think there are too many people who have decided to be KZbin Vehicle Marketers. As a result, you hear many of them speak of $50K vehicles as being affordable and complain when an offering does not have heated/cooled seats. WAKE UP FELLAS!!!! The prospective customers for these vehicles is relatively small as these products have increased in price disproportionate to family incomes. So many people these days buy expensive cars and turn into social media creators to create revenue generating income. Go to the dealerships and these vehicles (new Tacoma) are filling up the lots going unsold. Once the initial fanatics get their LandCruisers and 4 Runners get their vehicles, these vehicles will start building inventories in dealer lots. The real reason you see the Land Cruiser and 4 Runner as they use a common architecture, drivetrains, and other components. I suspect they could even be assembled on the same production line. The capital expenditure to produce both is relatively low as they share so much in common.

I know the Toyota fanboys are going to crucify me, but I don't understand the premium of this LC over a 4Runner. Dimensionally, its fractionally shorter and narrorwer than the 4Runner, but about 4" taller. The 4Runner has access to the hybrid-max powertrain, as well as them sharing 4WD systems(would've been cool if the LC offered f/r lockers, then I could see it). The LC should've had the Hybrid-Max V6 at least as an option to separate itself from the 4Runner.

At first I thought all the overlap between Toyota models would be a detriment but not so much now. Toyota has effectively created different trims vs different models especially in the TNGA for the trucks, so you don’t have to go to another manufacturer to get what you want. The only question you have to ask is whose small displacement turbo power train do you trust more.

I thought I saw somewhere else that these are still preproduction vehicles, so perhaps just like some materials are not quite finalized the sticker may not be truly representative.

The TOYOTA on the 4runner TRD Pro passenger dash looks like an afterthought. Gaudy and looks like the letters could get ripped off. One thing to consider with the LC - if you decide to eventually lift it and put a spare tire on a swing out you might lose functionality of the rear lift window. Unless you can fit a 35" underneath, which I'm reasonably sure you won't be able to. I realize most people probably aren't doing that, but these are the things I think about :-)

Most of the new 4Runner is ok I guess.. But Toyota made a major goof on the new 4Runner.. They made the roofline way too low.. I mean WAAAYYY too low.. I personally would use the 4Runner for about 99% street only... I also like a higher roofline so I have good visibility in all directions.. But some people like to use the 4Runner to do some off roading. With going offroad you are going to bounce around in the drivers seat - your head will hit the roof with all that bouncing around. I think a 3" or 4" higher roofline would have made this 4Runner way way better for everybody. It would have looked better and bolder, and have more comfort and interior room - and would have way better outward visibility in all directions. I guess the aim for Toyota with this low roof was for (shorter) women and shorter Japanese people??.. Only thing I can figure...

Yup. Agreed. 4Runner looks like it’s made for “teenyboppers” or those just slightly older, and LC looks like it’s for us old farts. Black 1958 ordered.

@@charliemcawesome5012 I’m definitely not a teeny bopper. But I prefer the 4 Runner. The LC looks decent, but a little bland. Not as bland as the 200 and 300 though. That 4Runner TRD Pro looks pretty good. Looks a little better set up for off-road too.

Raised cargo floor is where Toyota is losing me with both 4Runner and Land Cruiser
@steveatherton5812

I'm with you. The new 4runner has less overall height than the 5th gen, then if you want the hybrid (not sure I do) you lose even more interior height with the raised floor. For camping / overlanding if you put in a drawer system or sleeping platform you will have no room to sleep on top. Land Cruiser is taller inside, but you still lose 5-6" with the raised floor. Makes me think the GX may be the option IF you want to build out the interior for car camping. But then you lose get such bad gas mileage.

4runner is lifted - higher ground clearance, better offroad suspension, potentially heavier duty UCA. You don't get that in landcruiser. You might miss central locking differential that landcruiser has but its reliability in gnarly terrain is a question mark to me. So 4runner can tackle rougher terrain to my eyes

You only get that suspension in the TRD PRo and Trailhunter which will both be around $60k so not much less than the LC. Interior in the LC is a little nicer and more luxurious. LC looks like a vehicle for a more mature audience while the 4Runner looks like an RC car your kid plays with in the backyard. Also full time 4WD in the LC is nice to have and not available in the trailhunter or TRD pro

@@cheintz091 Labeling something like mature or kiddo is a bad idea. What do you want to say next? Asian vs white? People buy what they want. What I choose is none of your business. I can even buy a pink car and be happy with it. I was replying to the author what notable differences are there. Perhaps, what I missed mentioning was I was eluding to off road use case. If you really want to get into serious off road in stock form 4runner might do better specs wise but then again anybody can buy what they think is best for them.

I honestly dont like the new Tacoma and 4Runner interior. Looks too blocky tonka like with very hard and cheap looking plastics all over. The Land Cruiser interior is also pretty stark but looks a bit nicer.

It seems quite odd that Toyota would put the 7 seat option in the vehicle with 6 inches LESS headroom - I'm curious as to how/why that decision was made? Perhaps price-point was their decision factor, but still - the comfort in the rear would be miles better in the LC given that metric, not to mention, the ability to have a higher rear seat height which would greatly help.
@steveguillory7568
@steveguillory7568 3 ай бұрын
Because the LCs only engine option is the hybrid max. So that means the battery pack lives under the cargo floor making it not possible to have a third row. Yes, you can get a third row in the 4R, but only if you get the non hybrid engine.

I feel that with the more head room and vertical rear hatch, a 3rd row in Landcruiser would have been more comfortable and effective compared to the 4Runner. I’m hoping they offer 3rd row jump seats in the Landcruiser.

Even here in Africa the Prado (land cruiser 150) kinda competes with the Fortuner(Hilux pick up based),but coz of the "Land cruiser" name the Prado comands a higher price to the Fortuner,hence the two are separated by just their names.

I’m not buying a hybrid Toyota. You buy their off-road vehicles because they’ll run forever. Who wants to be stuck with a battery that needs replacement after 8-12 years? Even if you’re going to sell it before the battery needs replacement, who is going to buy a used Toyota off-road that is due for a new battery in 2-3 years?
