Toyota Land Cruiser In-Depth Review 2018

[@oddities-whatnot]

My dream car. Im 51 and this would do everything, go anywhere, and probably never break down. It would easily last me into retirement and beyond.

[@oggyoggy1299]

I’m 50 and just bought one. Now I just have to wait about 6 months for delivery 😩

[@kw8757]

@@oggyoggy1299 Have you taken delivery yet?

[@oggyoggy1299]

@@kw8757 No, still another couple of months it seems. Just spoke to the dealer a few days ago. He said if you order one now you have to wait 18-22 months!!!

[@RoyHollingsworth]

Even by now with this being 8 year's old...I would buy it in a heartbeat. Bulletproof reliability and I would choose it as a lifetime daily driver over any current EV garbage!😎

[@terryyouth]

2018 prado in Aus has rear diff lock too

[@Br1anuk]

Just make sure you get it properly wax oiled underneath. The top halves are mint, underneath rusted to bits.

[@mikeodhis]

....gets you going in Kensington or Kenya.....👍

[@valentinovalkaj]

Land Cruiser is not for those who will go shopping in supermarket with it on a daily basis. Being able to use it on highland roads in Iceland, this is still a true off roader

[@oddities-whatnot]

Valentino Valkaj thats the only downside if its your only car. Supermarket car parks plus parking anywhere would be an issue because of the size. I probably couldnt afford one of these anyway, so would more likely get a Subaru XV instead.

[@NigelRudyard]

Love this vehicle. A proper utility vehicle. Even if you don't go off road that much, Land Cruisers are reliable and tough. The new one looks like a welcome evolution rather than a rethink (I used to buy these for an organisation I worked for).

[@rivervalegroup]

A great reliable car for a lot of uses. thanks for the comment.

[@elonsus9747]

Just wondering, what did your organisation do? If you don't want to tell that's fine. Just thought that it you bought these for your organisation, the job must be intense, but with the Landcrusier it makes it easier.

[@d-shukkol7979]

Thank you for you introduce of my dream car

[@rivervalegroup]

No problem 👍

[@ir0n2541]

I want to buy this for driving in central london and going on weekend trips around the UK and Europe. thoughts ?

[@larjkok1184]

I wish they just did a split tailgate like the 200 series.

[@goldenboyi1989]

no most people like me prefer this style-u can have a side table on the door while camping

[@larjkok1184]

@@goldenboyi1989 And in every other way it’s worse. Drop the tailgate on a 200 series and it IS you table, with a roof over the top.

[@hotpointbrownlover3365]

[@lovice]

The presenter claims there's a rear diff lock on this top of the range model. But the close up centre console shot reveals a blank button under the centre diff lock button. If this Prado indeed has a rear diff lock, then that's where the on/off button should be located. So, does the top Uk model have a rear diff lock? Or maybe it only has a rear LSD instead? In that case, of cause there's no need for an on/off button on the centre console.

[@adamchamberlain82]

lovice if this is the invincible model (top) there should indeed be a rear diff lock, but as you point out there is no button for it. It should also have sat Nav but there is no fin at the back in the exterior shots. I suspect this is an Icon with the off-road pack. Slight anomaly to this is wood trim on the wheel, which is an invincible feature, and there is a shot of a sat nav screen. I think there may be footage from different cars being used.

[@lovice]

@@adamchamberlain82 Thank you for your detailed reply. As Prado is a global model that every country has its own specifications and trim levels, I wish car reviewers could be more careful of what they are shooting and talking about.

[@terryyouth]

2018 in Aus has

[@ronanwhite6785]

⁠​⁠@@adamchamberlain82, also lack of sunroof or roof mounted dvd player indicate this is more likely an icon model with the extra off road MTS and crawl control optioned, really rare in the uk, possibly a press launch car.I worked for Toyota for six years in sales up to 2010. The uk registrations prefix letters GP through to GV on post 2001 car plates indicate the car was registered in the Brighton District, Garden of England, and Toyota had a training centre at Salford on the outskirts of Gatwick airport. Most head office registrations and ex demo or pre registered cars often carry these prefixes indicating they were first registered to Toyota GB. I’ve owned an ex head office Avensis tourer in the past and currently have a 2014 Landcruiser J150 3.0 Icon model.

[@djizzah]

if you buy one of these, it may outlast you

[@robertl2856]

Surely these off road capabilities are only fully realised when the appropriate tyres are fitted ?

[@rivervalegroup]

That's right, sadly we didn't have time to change the tyres over for our review. no doubt the off road performance would be better.

[@oddities-whatnot]

Ive been on a UK website, and there are some very impressive AT tyres available for this car, and not expensive either, less than £180 ish per wheel.

[@dadasmovies6468]

is the third row seat can recline?

I subscribed just because you mentioned Kenya!

Give me a head-up display, and the rest of the controls can be simple.

[@bobojo8591]

Hello Can you make a full video of this car and the Land Cruiser Prado and the Lexus Variants? If possible it would be great to see Nissan Patrol and the Mitsubishi Pajero/Shogun The title says in-depth review but the video is only 7 mins long but you have other videos running for almost an hour.

[@anthonycstone]

Most of us buy the vehicle for off road, not shopping in shitty centres in the UK. Give me the side door any day

[@curtismendy1519]

It's fast enough for me. Most people want really fast cars which in my opinion ends up claiming their lives. I personally wouldn't want to race at a ridiculous speed only to end up as a corpse

[@oddities-whatnot]

Curtis Mendy This car is perfectly fast enough. A big comfortable cruiser, capable of anything and would feel safe in all weathers. Id just get better tyres. You can now get AT tyres that are quiet on tarmac now as well, the best of both worlds. No need for winter tyres if you do that.

Nice review.

What a great family car. It feels comfortable and safe. The space is good, the power of 2.8d is fine for a real life city or motorway driving. I drive a 2018 model mostly in London and am thoroughly happy with the vehicle.
