The most basic one, the Land Cruiser 1958 cost $57,345, fabric interior and as plain as you can get it. I'm having a hard time swallowing nearly $60k for a I4 turbo with all black basic cloth interior at that price. That's before dealer mark ups.

[@RJ-vc2ju]

@er7 The muppets was a good show. As someone that's driven pretty much every version of a LC since the late 70s, and done so in Africa, the Prado does not share the heritage of the Land Cruiser in the true sense of the name. The new Prado, although sharing frame architecture with other Toyota platforms, in the same way that the new Tacoma shares the architecture with the new Tundra, does not make it worthy of the LC name. Unfortunately this now also applies to the shameful excuse that is the LC300. After all these years, the last remaining Land Cruiser is the 70 series, still sold in certain markets. For everything else, the Land Cruiser name is being used as a marketing scheme by Toyota, at great harm to the heritage of that name plate. Obviously, we don't have to agree on this.

Outlasted both an 08 Pathfinder and 05 Sorento that I also ran during that time. Currently in a Mini Cooper S but wanted a proper 4x4 SUV as a second vehicle. There's already two Broncos in my family and they've been pretty solid which is why I am interested in getting one of my own but I am not a brand loyalty type of person and these Toyotas certainly piqued my interest. Custom ordering from Ford is better than buying off the lot as neither Bronco in my family cost more than MSRP or paid any dealer fees, just sales tax and tag. I suspect those you mentioned will stay on the lot until dealers start offering more incentives now that supply is starting to match demand.

I am not seeing the massive gains in mpg based on all these upcoming 4cylinder engines. My 2020 ram 1500 from 4 years ago gets over 25mpgs highway (diesel) and that is a V6 3L (I can get 26mpg or 27mpg in the real world on highway with offroad tires and a lift). That is also with a rooftop tent above the bed. The smaller Land Cruiser can't beat that with a 4cylinder 2.4L and 25mpg is probably like perfect conditions. Real world, highway, for the Land Cruiser (stock) is going to be closer to 22mpg, I am guessing. After you add wheels, lift, and tires, the highway mpg is going to be below 20. That doesn't include adding tents, and gear, etc.

[@xm3ntal620]

@@keith9388 how can you compare a diesel to a gas car? 25 mpg for a SUV that size is EXCELLENT with 465 ft lbs of tq. Problem with diesel is that they require expensive/complicated emissions related systems to keep them running clean. I'm sure you know about the 2 billion dollar fine for Cummins diesel defeat devices from OEM. Also the engine you speak of has huge reliability issues. The main bearing oil holes are too small and get clogged up by diesel soot and die a premature death. Everything has its tradeoffs. I think we can expect extreme reliability from Toyota and the NiMH battery under the rear seat is designed to be replaced easily for not a lot of money. They have been testing these hybrid systems for almost 2 decades now.

The customers have been clamoring for a barebones, no frills offroader on which they can bolt on aftermarket accessories. Toyota delivered it. Albeit at a price $10k too expensive. The GX Overtrail wins hands down.

[@AutoEnthusiastJC]

23 combined? I’d be okay with that if it were a straight (or V) six hybrid. I get that it makes decent torque, but the old pentastar V6 with etorque gets similar fuel economy, and the twin turbo hurricane straight six isn’t that far behind. Pretty sure the old V6 engines from toyota will be missed, but people will buy the new products regardless. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@PeakDecline]

I think the best one is the middle trim and no options except maybe moonroof. That puts it at $63Kish. Gets you all the off-road mechanical features. It gets you the middle sound system and upgraded infotainment screens. And versus the GX 550... well the Land Cruiser is significantly more fuel efficient 23MPG combined vs 17 MPG of the GX 550. You're saving roughly $6K up front and then $700ish each year. You get the 2400W inverter for camping too. Personally I think both models together you can basically pick exactly how fancy or efficient you want. Personally I do not need, or even want, the "Convenience package" features in my off-road vehicle. The price of the First Edition literally doesn't matter. Its a limited run and basically if you didn't already reserve a spot with a dealer you won't get it for MSRP anyway.

These things, and the price, make me want to wait to see what they do with the new 4Runner.

Interesting the GX requires Premium fuel (if true). The same engine with higher 389hp output in the Tundra is designed to run on 87.

Great channel - I really enjoy the Toyota content and the depth of your reporting and comradery with all the folks you associate with. I always come away learning something. My question is what is the "duty cycle" of the new land cruiser? I was fortunate enough to own and enjoy a 1997 80 series Land Cruiser for 14 years. I sold it in 2021 and bought a 2021 4Runner TRD Offroad Premium. My understanding is that Toyota designed the 80 series to have a duty cycle (or life expectancy) of 25 years. Mine was 24 years old when I sent it off to an enthusiastic new owner and was in great condition for it's age with zero mechanical issues. It will be interesting to see how well the '24 Land Cruiser holds up. My sense is that it won't approach the 80's duty cycle. How is your 80 holding up ? I'm glad to see it on your channel from time to time ;

The first automaker to create cars which most people can afford is going to do well, assuming they can figure out the problems of margins.

land cruiser trim for me you get that front sway bar disconnect!

The problem is that a responsible spec Defender is the same price
