In this video I showcase this all-new 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser 1958 Edition. There's a lot to like about this Land Cruiser... a few things to not like so much, but overall... It's a solid option from Toyota. Built in Japan, simplistic at it's core, and semi-affordable (compared to the First Edition Land Cruiser anyway)... Having owned a few Toyota FJ Cruiser Trails Teams and 200 Series Land Cruiser Heritage Editions, I've developed HIGH expectations for the Land Cruiser nameplate. This is the most iconic vehicle to come from Toyota (in my humble opinion), thankfully, I feel like Japan knows that too. The Japanese take tremendous pride in building this Land Cruiser, which is why they keep it's production in Japan.
Do you think this LC250 (Prado version) lives up to the Land Cruiser name? The previous generation offered in the US was in 2021, it had a refined 5.7L V8 and a plush leather interior... split hatch/tail-gate, and unmatched reliability. That 200 series was, however, VERY expensive. Starting at $86K, it was too steep for most Americans. But, if you know, you know. There was nothing quite like that 200 series, it was truly built like a tank. It felt like you were driving a bank vault, which was incredible.
This 4 cylinder hybrid LC250 feels a bit like a knock-off, and I know that's harsh to say but it doesn't provide the same feeling as the 200 did. Would you agree? I do, however, really appreciate Toyota's attempt at making this 1958 Edition Land Cruiser "bare bones" and simplistic. THIS is what Toyota Land Cruiser enthusiasts want and desire. We just want simplicity, affordability, and reliability. That's it! This is the closest trim to that with a starting MSRP around $56K. Way better than the $77K price tag with the First Edition trim.
Let me know your honest thoughts of this 1958 Edition. Are you onboard with it? Or would you prefer the last of the 5th genertion 4Runner instead?
Thank you for watching as always, your support means a lot and it doesn't go unnoticed. If you haven't done so already, I'd really appreciate it if you'd consider Liking and Subscribing! Many more in-depth reviews to come!
