The Toyota Land Cruiser has returned to America! This time it's based on the global Land Cruiser Prado, and it features a wide assortment of off-road equipment, no matter the trim you select. At launch there will be three trim options. We also speculate on what to expect from the upcoming Toyota 4Runner redesign.

  • Wow I love the look of the rounded headlights it reminds me of the FJ cruiser.

    @ginielvillacote2372@ginielvillacote23729 ай бұрын

    • @@Il.Livorno.Volante Yep. Absolutely. To me it looks like an updated 4 door FJ Cruiser. I see all the Toyota fans, which I am as well, not calling this out to what it truly is NOT, and that's a Land Cruiser. Everyone is so accepting of this new Land Cruiser. This is what the 4Runner should be. The LC should be a 7-8 seater or at least have the option for more seating. It should also not be a Hybrid. I know this is the route manufacturers are taking. They have been given ultimatums on how "green" they are allowed to be and that sucks for us. Even as reliable as Toyota's are and have been they can't overcome the potential issues of turbo, direct injection engines and hybrid technology. Not a good combination for off-roading and long life reliability (or more preventative maintenance). The 3.5L NA V6 with direct and port injection would have been a better solution for this off-roader or even a NA I4 like the new Prado will get overseas. I guess, and hope, they are saving that for the 4Runner. Maybe that will be a base engine and the hybrid I4T will be an optional engine. This LC will no longer be the bullet proof off-roader it once was, at least not the US version. Toyota should of just called it the LC Prado like the ROW Land Cruisers. I still like it, just not what is under the hood. I like that there is a base version, just like the 300 series LC overseas, and that there is an upscale trim that still can be optioned out, but where are those extra seats? I understand the argument that most "overlanders" remove the seats and that's good for them. They are a small percentage of LC buyers. Just like the new GX550, there should be seating options. But since they put that hybrid non-sense in it, the batteries take up that space. I guess I'll have to wait to see what the 4Runner will become. If it doesn't have an NA eng. option, I'll be back in the used LC or GX460 market. Hopefully this new let down of a LC will not cause those prices to skyrocket! I currently own and have owned 3 other Toyota products, 2004 T4R 4x4 4.7L V8, 2008 FJ Cruiser 4x4 OR, 2018 T4R 4x4 TRD OR and current is a 2017 Lexus GS 350. Dig them all and ready for another, it just won't be a new Land Cruiser...

  • As much as I love my FJ Cruiser, I am really liking this new Land Cruiser, and could probably complement it, instead of replacing it. I have always wanted 4 doors, way better MPG (mine gets 15) and bigger gas tank for road trips (FJ is 17 gallons). The baby blue color is very cool.

And in several markets it's offered with a 2.8 liter Diesel and optional 7 seats. This is also why the floor in the trunk is high (exactley like in the previous LC 150/Prado).

  • Really looking forward to these becoming available and seeing them in the wild! Is it odd that I actually prefer the "bargain basement version"? It comes with all of the off-road features I want without the over-the-top luxury features that are generally spec'd on LCs. Or maybe it's the 50k price point, if I can get my hands on one!

    @bent7131@bent71319 ай бұрын

    • Definitely not odd. You might be a Land Cruiser purist and not even know it. What you call the "bargain basement" version is basiclly the spirit of the Land Cruiser. If you look at the rest of the world where Land Cruisers are deployed, they're completely stripped down and prioritize one thing: Get people in and out of precarious situations as quickly and as safely as possible.

On top of that, anyone who buys a Land Cruiser is going to change out the tires, which will easily increase the ground clearance.
