- FIRST DRIVE: The Land Cruiser is back in the USA and Toyota has made some big changes. On the outside you will discover all new sheet metal, LED lighting and 2-tone paint. On the inside you will be greeted by a soft-tex interior, 14in infotainment screen, and 12.3in digital gauge cluster. Under the hood is a 2.4L turbocharged inline-4 hybrid that produces 326HP & is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser a BETTER midsize SUV than a Toyota 4Runner?

GOOD MORNING! Come take an ON ROAD & OFF ROAD drive with me in the all new Land Cruise! Let me know what you think of it in the comments!
I hope you have a great day! 😊
Can't wait to see the 1958 edition Joe 👌
Great review! Quick question, are the rear seats heated? Also, not sure if the GX550 warrants the additional $$ and wait time. Up here in Canada the GX550 Overtrail+ is $106k Cdn with a very long wait time. I had my name added to the list in mid-February and I'm being given an October 2028 production. By comparison the LC is going to be around $15-20k less and wait times are more in the 2-3 year range.
@@chrisgelo1425yes sir!
@@Quinn4124yes they are! Great point!
Do u have the Camry vid tmw? Know 2 other car reviewers dropping it tmw.
The color with the white roof contrast is cool 😎
That is how I would spec mine
That is my favorite too. Will be here next month at my dealer.
What a way to start the morning. Coffee, bagel, sun not even up yet, sitting on my patio watching Raitis Rides
👏👏👏
Talk about breakfast of champions! I really appreciate you tuning in!
@@loriraiti4924we have the best supporters
Great way to spend the morning! 😊
Love the boxy shape, it looks really good.
It fits it perfectly
I love it! Even more than the new 4Runner, SEQUIA and Lexus GX. I’d go 1958 for price. That sunroof is all it needed.
That is a very good way to look at it
Been waiting for this for a while. Excellent review. Thank you.
Still driving my 2005 Camry. Solid as a tank. Almost 20 years and counting... Toronto Canada
Lol, cold Twinkies, didn't see that one coming!! Always the best Joe!!
Thank you Joe for bringing us one more detailed review. We love your videos ❤❤. When it is available for customer ?
Nice review Joe! Be awesome if you do some reviews of cars or days past . 80s 90s . Bring me back to those high school years
I am actually working on things with that!
To the door panel! 😉
Love the new Land Cruiser Joe!
I’m so glad test I can share it with you!
Alright Joe Let’s see what this Land Cruiser has to offer on the table
I think you will be impressed!
Love this! Joe's in RAAARE form on this one...lolol #respect
I appreciate you having my back!
The boxy shape is working for me.
You have great taste David!
You don't need a panoramic sunroof, but I do like the standard moonroof and how quiet it rides going by.
I’ve always loved boxy looking vehicles 🔥
Same here man!
The return of FJ Cruiser.
I see what you did there
It does seem like a 4 door fj in a good way
Yeah a $66,000 FJ cruiser… 😣
@The_Hi_Life they have 55k version, kinda inline with other offroad vehicles, bronco, wrangler ect.
The FJ Cruiser was built from the footprint of the legendary Land Cruiser FJ series.
Thanks you so much for video put some bfgoodrich k02 and bush bar going to Wal-word
Beautiful looking SUV, LETS see if it is as reliable as the former models.
I’m sure Toyota will make sure about that!
Great review Joe,. Man ,Toyota is killing it.. really like the looks of this legend.
Good morning Joe great video👍👍. Love the 4 runner look 👍
Great review! LC looks awesome. Is this the optional Premium package? Between this and GX Overtrail
Toyota is building beautiful vehicles. My current 2014 Camry Hybrid is still going strong @ 106K miles only, but in one to two years, I'll consider the new Tacoma or 4Runner for my next auto. Camry will be my backup vehicle. Keep up the great products, Toyota 👌🏾👍🏾
Will we get the GX 550 with the same engine configuration?
Hey Joe this toyota land cruiser this is awesome suv
Thanks mark for letting me share it with you!
Great review Joe!
Joe, you are the goat of CZcams you are so hilarious and amazing bro! You scared the s**** I mean the crap out of me😂😂❤ love you, man! Keep being you❤
Thanks for being so supportive and letting me share my car passion with you!
Best reviews as always! Personally deciding between the Tacoma/4Runner and cant decide if the hybrid powertrain will be worth it or not
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
It sounds better than I thought from outside. Thanks for taking us for a drive. I’m favoring the 1958 with cloth seats.
You are so very welcome. I really like the 1958 edition as well.
I like it much better than the 6th Gen 4Runner. Still digging my 2019 4Runner TRD Pro, but if I ever get the urge to replace it, this is it!
what's the recommended type pressure on that off-road condition?
It’s refreshing that Toyota is giving us real suvs. I was getting so sick of all these other brands crossovers.
Love the quality workmanship that goes into making such a quiet cabin. That's Toyota.
This is so very true!
Amazing❤, nostalgic design.
I’m so glad that you like this new Land Cruiser
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 and great review ! I think Toyota is on a roll with hits like the Land Cruiser and upcoming 4Runner in 2025 . I just purchased a 2024 4Runner Limited and the Land cruiser looks tempting . 😊
Thank you for your great supprt from up north! Congrats on your new 4runner.
17:42 This video went from PG to PG-13 real fast! 😂
You are freaking hilarious
I like where Toyota’s been going with their design changes, Honda should be worried as they’re looking outdated. Another great video!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one and letting me share it with you!
Joe, I like the way they raised both sides of the hood. When I think about there being no washer on the front camera, I think that it is a mistake because you're going to have a front camera that is going to be dirty all the time.
You are spot on Mickey!
@RaitisRides
Well, thank you, Joe. It's not difficult to see that with this car, Toyota has a constitution sensitive to the off-road community.
Damn that windshield cowl is massive!
Nope to many what ifs with a hybrid system off road. What happen if the engine gets wet from a water crossing and what about the battery and its wiring underneath. My 4runner has been headlight deep before no problems after .
Excellent video 📹
Landcruiser, excellent engineering.
Massive British Land-rover influence.
I like the one with the round headlights that's the one that like the most
That is the 1958 Edition.
The white top, the gloss black, the trail dust color.... It reminds of of a Smore!
Man, I can't believe I did not think of that!
I’m waiting for this to come out!
Does the LC require premium gasoline?
I like it ..but i I am not ok with the this engine( for now).
That is a great question.
That thing is beautiful!
I think it would been nice if they putted a shelf in front of the passenger seat. ESPECIALLY with all that space. That why I like the Grand Highlander vs this. But nice
Audio sound any good ?
Is there a third row on this? or an option for it? looked like there was some cup holders for a third row on this model.
No
wish it had aux switches. i saw a video where it did have a panoramic roof?
Can we choose not to include the running boards when ordering?
16:39 look at Joe Raity in action😂
I love that square styles are coming back. 1980s looks and styles are the future.
Great SUV, nice color, the grill is hideous. Great review as always 👍
Nice looking truck!
I’m so glad that you are digging this one
I’m so glad that are like this new Land Cruiser
If I’m not wrong isn’t the same engine in 4Runner trailHunter?
7:30 once you remove the cover you can fix a hook
I love cars if I had money will have a collection of cars, guess what though I don't even own one but for the love for cars I watch every review just to know them better.
What the difference between this and the 4Runner?
25:38 Noticed the JF Cruiser passing by just then.
Good eyes!
Looks great! Only if we can find one at dealerships
Not for $90,000 markup in California, that a F NO FOR NOW
Base version has the only headlights that are worthy of the name.
They really F'ed up the look of the higher models with those rectangular lights.
Ahh… that to the door panels always makes me laugh.
the new Prado looks great
That's great torque for such a heavy vehicle.
That is the benefit of the hybrid setup.
Pretty sure that the front camera shuts off above a certain speed because the system can't process and render the video at speed in real time. But they will sell it as a safety feature. Most of my 4-wheeling is at single-digit speeds so no big deal.
I think it is a safety thing from Toyota. Other brands like GM have no issues.
Ooohhh....looks nice... Just started watching! Can't wait to see how many Twinkies I can put in there...😂
I think the 4Runner, with it's more aerodynamic design, can get an extra MPG with the Hybrid Max, taking it to 24 MPG combined
We will see how it turns out
I’ll hold onto my 2020 LC.
Likewise I'll stick with my 14
I’ve got one on order here in the UK, September delivery, first edition in Trail dust
My too but arriving in May here in Colorado. Congratulations.
Kind of ironic that at 25:38 as he pulls onto the pavement, a FJ passes by.
The rear bumper hump looks like it houses a parachute for when your off road adventures take you a bit too farrrrrrrr....
Always a good review. Just wish they would've at least put the turbo 6 in it. Hate that Toyota has dumped all of their V8s,,
I guess they wanted to give people an extra reason to buy the new Lexus GX.
@@RaitisRides truth, keep them from being near exact copies
I love the big tail lights. But I'm giving a zonk to the headlights. To me, they are too tiny for such a bold vehicle. JMO.
The good news is the 1958 edition has larger headlights
When you were driving the Toyota Land cruiser, were you able to verify if the front camera can be enabled or turned on while you are going up? Say freeway speeds, or 35 mph?
I asked because a lot of automotive bloggers show the camera images while the car is parked at 0 miles an hour. No one ever demonstrates the front camera working while the car is being driven.
No it switches off.
Is this really midsize? What is a jeep compass then? Tiny size lol?
Honestly, love it, looks great and everything. just that, why is it so expensive? Thought they meant to build for last long. Hopefully the 4 runner higher trim can give some suprised on the price
25:38 Blue FJ Cruiser spotted lol
Looks cool and rugged
Needs the panoramic for sure... Wish pilot would of made their new design more boxy like this... Would be a no brainier. Plus Pilots need to be more aggressive.. let me have the trailsport blue on all the trims and maybe even add a cherry red and a nice yellow color... We want cool offroading looking vehicles.
byd yangwang u8 test yes
I like it. They did good.
25:38 huh, well isn't that a interesting coincidence.
This should be the new FJ Cruiser🚙
Right now the Market is Flooded with Good Midsize SUV. Lexus, Toyota, Bronco,Hyundai ,Cadillac, Chevy Kia ....etc It's very Difficult to choose One but think i would pick this Land Rover or the Lexus because of the Reliability History and the Retro/New Looks is 🔥 🔥
It will be interesting to see how it sells.
I wish it had a full moonroof, that’s the only thing missing
Great new iteration of the venerable Land Cruiser. I don't think it needs a panoramic sunroof... this is a Land Cruiser! That makes me think "go anywhere". There are plenty of other luxury SUVs if you just want to ride the highways in comfort.
You can go anywhere & everywhere and still have a panoramic sunroof.
You have to upgrade to the Lexus GX to get the pano roof.
@@andyleo8418 This is true!
Some people don't care about EV, or FSD, they just enjoy driving.......
I am not impressed. It surprises me that all those immediately complaining about other brands using big screen displays don't even mention anything here, etc
What do you think: this or the Defender? I’m torn I like both
I think I’ll go with the 4Runner
Nothing wrong with that!
You should be able to more conveniently control that nice front camera.
You are so very right about that!
Definitely needs a full sized panoramic sunroof ..otherwise a fantastic, practical car
I totally agree with you!
For 66K the prop rod and the exposed rear wiper are both major zonks for me...
7:30 its for extra twinkie storage
The new Landscruiser has a lot of very cool features and gadgets. Which is best: 2024 Landscruiser, 2025 4Runner, or 2024 Lexus GX 550 Overtrain? I think I would go with the Lexus.
It's really nice
Lexus GX is still my no 1 pick :)
