Purchased an alpine ilx-f509 from you guys, excellent service. Thanks looking forward to the Land Cruiser vids.

[@TrailGridPro]

Woohoo! We appreciate you very much!!!

[@s_t102]

I feel like most Americans are having trouble understand Land Cruiser Prado and what it compares to. Here in Eastern Europe and pretty much everywhere else, Prado is Toyota version of Lexus GX, a smaller Land Cruiser. The focus is on luxury and off road capability whereas you can get a bigger 4runner that is just as capable off road but noticeably less luxurious inside and comfortable on road.

[@wrtyasd099]

Americans don’t understand the rest of the world.

[@KeithKelleyIT]

I have one in Maine... same as yours. First edition... can't wait to see what you do. Love it so far....

[@whoopi5257]

did you pay 120k?

Man you guys are lucky. Congrats. I put a deposit a few weeks ago on a Land Cruiser mid trim for 64k MSRP no markups but was given a 6-10 month wait window.

Absolutely! We drove it on the highway last night for about a 30 minute trip and it was AWESOME! Handles really well and feels super sturdy and safe!

[@cue03]

What type of gas mileage did you get on the way back home after picking up the LC? Looking forward to what you guys do to it. I would be interested to see what you can come up with for max tire size on factory rim without a lift and new suspension etc etc. Like could you fit a 285/75/18 tires on the stock rims?

[@DogStar84]

I pre bought this 1st edition a month ago. Delivery has been delayed twice now. Was supposed to be delivered May 1, then May 15 and now telling me May 30th. They are claiming supply chain problems with fog lites and skid plate. Who knows.

[@KeithKelleyIT]

Will you guys do a video on how to use its off road features? I have watched the test drives... but they just "showed" using it now how it or why you use that feature. Its crazy we have both locking difs and stablizer bar. I would love to try it out ourselves on one of the closed toyota courses... maybe just have to sneak on.... when we travel through Maryland we will stop by. If want ever in Maine can show you some cool places to go...

[@RSwrightMD]

You guys are so lucky! I called the owner of my dealership last August on the day when the new LC was announced as coming to the US Market. Later I learned I was moved down the waiting list and ultimately told I could not get a First Edition. Not sure who they promised it to but I could not get it. That was 10 months ago. Do you realize how lucky you were to ask at six months and get a first edition?

[@jml9550]

Oakland Toyota here have 7 LC en route. 2 are 1st editions. All MSRPs and no add ons. San Francisco Toyota have even more allocations, but they want $5k markup……

[@rickper]

Hey question, the 2400 watt plug in the back, since its a hybrid does the truck need to be on to use it, or how does it work? Thansj

[@TrailGridPro]

Whoa - good question! We're still digging into the rig but we'll add this to the list to check out!

[@carlosmon13]

You guys mentioned the ride is super smooth, could you expand on that? How does that compare to the 4Runner ? Thanks

[@TrailGridPro]

More details to come in the next video!

[@BillSauceify]

I kinda wish you got the 1958 trim, so you could really go into Modding everything

[@TrailGridPro]

I hear ya, but we didn't have a choice on the trim level if we wanted it now.

[@jml9550]

Check out what Westscott Design did on the 1958. Looks even better than the 1st edition.

[@jamiejolles3895]

Will be in a drawing at my local dealer in Jacksonville next Tuesday to be able to buy a first edition. Also considering a nicely equipped Defender for about the same price. Decisions decisions……

[@dferrandiz]

Congratulations! I wonder, with your improvement ideas, can you relocate the volume knob in a better place? that thing looks like a wart in the dash!

[@TrailGridPro]

Yea, the knob is a toss up. If it wasn't there, I can see people complaining it's not next to the radio - I think Toyota just put it there knowing some people would disapprove. I don't find it to be in the way - I've actually found myself using it a few times!

[@johnwebb2232]

Congratulations on your new purchase of the land cruiser. Will you still keep your 4runner? And what do you think of the new 4runnner? For me, I'm quite disappointed in it.i think it's lost its identity, meaning it looks too much like the Tacoma

[@TrailGridPro]

Yes, we'll definitely be keeping the 4Runner! There's been 4 years of work done on that thing! I'll drive it until it falls apart, lol! I try to remain open minded to change - as much as I love the 5th Gen, I think I'm going to hold my thoughts on the 6th Gen until I get the chance to drive it.

[@vegasoval]

Is it true these are starting off with a limited run of 5k

[@deannawoody9621]

Congrats 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯

[@IWBVS]

4 cylinder Hybrid but only 23 mpg combined. Friends V6 hybrid rav4 gets 39 mpg combined.

[@TrailGridPro]

Yea, so far we're averaging about 17 mpg but we're gunning it all over the place, lol. It's got shocking pick-up.

[@bogart5131]

in short. this is prado in US? or LC series?

[@normanli7085]

This is the LC prado in other markets, LC in US, Canada, and Japan

[@keithmccloud6722]

I looked at one, but chicken to make the switch from my F150 Raptor.

[@bernardkavanagh3528]

Ok guys what you have is the Toyota landcruiser J250 (prado) it replaces the J150 prado (2.8 cylinder diesel engine type) this was not on offer in the US although the lexus equivalent was. The American landcruiser also known as tge amazon (J200) came with 4.2 V8 diesel engine. It's replacement is not on offer in the US it's the J300 (3.3 V6 diesel engine and it's a massive beast its one and half times bigger than the J250 you've just bought. I'm on my 6th Toyota landcruiser in Ireland 🇮🇪 Great video and you may look like kimmel but you're not as fake as he is.

[@belfastconor8521]

A v8 diesel was never offered in the US. The J200 in the US only came with the 5.7 3UR. Never a diesel. The 3UR was also used in the US Tundra and Sequoia.

[@belfastconor8521]

I will add that the last US Land Cruiser that came with a Diesel was the 40 Series. The 60, 80, and 100 in the US were all petrol. The BJ40 (Diesel) are also extremely rare in the US. Often, a diesel 40 series made its way into the US from neighboring Central and South America were they are plentiful and abundant.

[@dannyhoward3437]

Comes standard with a $20,000 dealer markup!

[@jml9550]

Not the dealer here, all MsRP and no add ons. Including 1st editions.

[@californiafarmin2145]

This is the issue with our chit economy. Influencers by these vehicles for business purposes creating artificial demand when vehicles were rarely bought prior to 2014 for social media. We need a tax for the next two years on any influencer buying cars. Then prices can fall.

[@TrailGridPro]

Totally hear ya! Prices are definitely high! We're not influencers, though. We're just a small 22-person business located in Frederick, Maryland that are passionate about Toyota vehicles!

[@Sean-kx6wx]

Yeah, taxing businesses that buy cars and make videos is soooooo smart. If you can’t afford one or don’t want one, buy something else.

[@MTBJonnie]

lol you absolutely lose space. Thats a 35 square foot boot, tiny. Not to mention how crammed you both look in there 😂

[@TrailGridPro]

Thanks so much for your comment and for watching! We appreciate you!! I think we're just trying to make the point that the new LC design is larger than the 3rd Gen Tacoma, 5th Gen 4Runner but not as big as the Tundra & Sequoia. It fits between those two segments. We're not comparing it to the previous LC's.

[@MTBJonnie]

@@TrailGridPro I just worry folks are going to be confused. Everyone keeps saying something along the lines of “you can throw anything back there” which is just patently untrue. It’s less space than behind the second row of my GX460 which has a third row folded down. I like the power train ok (I’ve driven the new LC250) but the sacrifice in space is maddening.

[@edq4679]

not worth 80k

[@RK777PL]

You should never get a car that's just redesigned all brand new didn't you guys learn what the tundra look what's happening right now they got problems with the engines other issues quality is not the same anymore. My suggestion is always wait a couple years and then get the car see what the people are saying about it what problems are common You know they will fix most of the stuff the first two years.

[@TrailGridPro]

Yep, definitely! We knew it was a risk but just wanted to get our hands on one! We appreciate ya!

[@diggman]

All I saw was two guys in a SUV cab driving around. 😂

[@TrailGridPro]

[@AlexAlex-gs1xh]

Personally i like the lc 300 better i hope they launched that instead of this lc

[@TrailGridPro]

Totally understand! The LC 300 is great!!

[@donkeyracer6551]

Stop the madness! The 250 is NOT a true full-size Land Cruiser! It’s equivalent to a mini Bronco. Clearly you guys have never been in a 200. The only vehicle in N.A. that is equivalent to a true Land Cruiser is the LX600. When the 300 comes to N.A. then get excited. So please stop confusing people that this is full size LC.

[@TrailGridPro]

We appreciate your thoughts and thank you for your comment!

[@kichaa13]

All j series Toyotas are land cruisers, there is no such thing as one 'true' land cruiser.

[@normanli7085]

But the LC 250 prado has as much legroom, and more headroom than the full size 300 and LX600. Heck it even comes with a pano roof (on overseas trims or gx550 luxury+)

[@matthewprather7386]

Mini bronco is a front drive unibody CUV. The Land Cruiser is a frame based rear-drive base SUV. Might not be the very most rugged but it appears to be a beast.

[@jeffnesbitt1168]

The new LC is on the same platform as the LX600 and shares the same wheelbase but is a bit narrower so is a better fit for off roading. It’s a Toyota after all!
