Here in Australia its old and new Landcruiser’s are everywhere as it is the proven, reliable off-roader used in the city and out-back.
Land Rovers are generally for the business class and used for city and highway use.
And chew the juice.
We have a British accent and we chose Discovery as the best 😀
Nonsense!
Here in the West Australian 'outback' I've been driving Discovery's for years .. first the Discovery 2 and now the Discovery 4. Both are very good 4x4's and BOTH are better than the Landcruisers in their default configurations.
Firstly, Landcruisers are a very good 4x4 .. when they are modified!!
Secondly, the Discovery's are head & shoulders above the Landcruisers for 'driveability'.
The reliability issue IS a factor with LR in that there are FAR MORE features in a LR than in a LC, therefore, it is only logical that there is MORE to go wrong. Also, the LC, which is the 'Holden' of 4x4s, has the benefit of a LOT more service centres than LR because there are a LOT more LC's sold.
If you ask LC owners WHY they bought a LC .. invariably they will tell you .. 'because everyone else has one'!! There are a LOT more LC's sold BECAUSE they are built and marketed as a 'fleet vehicle' and MOST of the mining operators buy thousands of them. The Discovery is a far more 'refined' vehicle and LR is renowned for it's vehicles capabilities ... just check out some of the old Camel Trophy rallies.
Toyota makes mini buses, fork lifts, communications gear or marine equipment and a number of other products.
Land Rover make 4x4's .. that it!!
If you own a LR you need to be more technically/mechanically minded because we DON'T have the service facilities on every street corner like Toyota does.
As far as service & parts costs go .. BOTH can be expensive to maintain .. however, the LR owner is more likely to do their own mechanical work (to a degree) and therefore their 4x4's can very often be cheaper to maintain in the long run.
Both the 200 Series LC V8 diesel (4.5L) and the Discovery 4 V6 diesel develop roughly the same torque when it comes to towing a reasonable sized van, ... the LC uses around 22-24L/100km doing it .. compared to the D4 at around 16.
I've driven both and both are very capable vehicles .. but I'd have a LR any day of the week .. and Sundays!!
@@davidhuett3579no one is reading that shite 😂
@@binayakasthakar9546 A super long life time, a very high build quality and reliability is "nothing"?? Are you serious?? And whishing LR "long live" when we KNOW it definitely will be outlived by the LC?? These two cars have been constructed to reach quite different aims, standards and customers. Real LR guys and real LC guys are aware of this, understand each other - and have made their final choise... But a real LR gentleman wouldn´t define the main construction concept in the LC as NOTHING!!
Did I just watch a 6:37 long commercial for Land Rover!?
J Rand yup
Yes we did.
Thanks for the heads up , off to another video.
Lolz that's true
J Rand me too
These 3 tests have no relationship with off-road ability.
very true...
#HearHear
Yes, the test was rubbish and yes, 5th gear and Vicky Butler-Henderson especially we’re generally dreadful, but, are you saying that torque and traction on wet grass and mud have “no relationship with off-road ability”? Your drives off road must be very different to mine.
Hear hear
So true
Land cruiser very nice with a 3.0L turbo diesel. We use them alot in The Khalahari desert, Botswana.
*Land Cruisers are built to last up to 400,000 miles*
*Land Rover's self destruct at around 50,000 miles*
my defender is nearly at 200k miles now and still going strong. my dads defender is at 500k miles. its amazing what regular maintenance will do.
Yeah But If you had anything out of the 2000s It would break to bits
No I Have a 2007 range rover tdv8 3.6 vogue with 220000 miles and still drives like brand new, ( regular maintenance) and never gives and bother. Its years ahead of even a brand new land cruiser today in regards tech, comfort, power and off road ability etc.
WRONG
- as more land rovers exist long term than any offroad car - you MORON.
Funny that. I've sold on Land Roverw with 145K, 130K and 185K on the clock and they were all good for loads more
Going for offroading, buy a land rover.
Planning to comeback also? Then go for TOYOTA.
Yes ! and get non British biased to do the test !
or just take with you someone with Toyota to bring you back lol
@Manoah Alting bullshit.i bet u don't owned a L R
G wagon My friend did. Not a pleasant experience. Quite expensive to maintain.
Toyota’s much like their drivers, enough to put me to sleep 😴😴😴😂😂😂
They say 90% of all Land Rovers manufactured are still on the road.
The other 10% have reached their destination.
:D
you nailed it bravo!!!!
@Henry LE CHARMANT oooooh yeah he nailed it?
u might want to add most of it already swapped to Toyota/Nissan/Japanese engines. It might win the course but the overall ownership experience gonna sucks big time. If they continue to run the course for a couple days, i bet the LR can survive or worse may be just hours.
meir0n 😂
Cannot get myself off the floor now.
I am an African, so believe me when I say, "nothing can ever beat toyota land cruiser. 4.5 V8 or the single cab HZ!
What's the "hz" stand for?
A late reply but still
Refers to 1HZ inline six naturally aspirated 4.2 diesel
An old diesel by Toyota currently only sold in Africa because of its simplicity and reliability (and no emissions regulations)
What has being “an African” got to do with anything?
Libertador da Patria - shall I make myself a cup of tea? I feel like I want one but what is your opinion; as an African obviously I trust you to know if I should have one or not.
Mark Fox 🤣
Why does the audio sound like a communication from the mother ship?
kafajagig proberbly something to do with copyright.
Someone forgot to mute the audio as they were monitoring. i.e rookie mistake
That’s not a v8 land cruiser...this test is crap...
They chose that one because it was inline with the price of the discovery which gets more power for less money as well as better interior, features and off-road capabilities which is why they choose it over the Japanese Toyota with its crappy design and interior.
V8 goes with the Range Rover v8
Grayston Vaz yeah if the review is from europe , then you know it’s fake ...
crappy design such an idiot what do you know about design pussy
Neither is the discovery
Very stupid testing procedures! Thsese tests are set upon the driver's capabilities, not the cars! An English couple decided to put Land Rover on the top undeservedly!!
Very biased review
When reliability matters simplicity is king.
So many wrong things with this video!!
1- Test the proper Land Cruiser, which has tons of technologies to off-road, not the inferior Prado version.
2- Audio is just crappy
3- It’s really not fair to compare those two when she moves like a turtle and almost stops before hitting the water. He moves quicker, better maneuvering and understands what an Off Road can or can’t do under certain circumstances.
If you are going to compare models, make sure they are driven by the same person every time!
They are comparing the same price models but i do agree should have been tested by the same person
Megafriend USA Yes, I'm totally agrees with you
mike green It's not same price, when there is almost 10k gap between 2 vehicles !
Megafriend USA Because It's uk people, so they're defending their products ! The woman did not break or move slowly, she just activated crawl control ! Crawl control has a limited low speed to keep momentum in difficult off road conditions, and it breaks and manage the speed, you don't need to touch the pedals ! That's why! Just fake journalists, not fair !
Megafriend USA they can't hide at the end that, the Land Cruiser was faster on the off road test ! And it was just a Prado with a 4cyl 3.0L. The Twin Turbo V8 with almost 700 NM would do it much faster and in more confortable ways than the range rover! In first test, it would be another story too ! Simply, in off road conditions, you see much more Land Cruiser than any range rover which won't bring you back home !
My take on the comparison test is that it didn't really appeal to me. I would have preferred a more vigorous test for the two vehicles. What was displayed was more of child's play for the vehicles
“ I cannot believe how fast you went!” - that's what she tells all the guys.
Toyota is the king! will get you A to b anywhere, in my book reliability is everything! land rover's are always being towed or recovered I should know because I had to recover them when I was in that trade with stupid faults!
What's with audio its not good
Bala Bk it’s all echoey
Yeah id take that Toyota any day, because in 3 years time it will still be running
apachelives. 😂😂. And the discovery will be on it's way to be turned into a matching kettle & toaster set albeit an expensive one that you'll be able to buy at Harrod's.
...more like 20 years mate.
100% true
In 3 years it will still be running, and it will keep its value, while the Discovery will be half price in 3 years. Also, in 20 years, toyota will still run like a dream and disco will be in someones garage with a mechanic bill of over 10k and a price of 2k....
yeah 20yrs & many trips to da garage, Land Rover owners r da mechanics best customer
1. Thats not the proper Land Cruiser
2. The Land Rover is an unreliable crap, the toyota will go on for years and years
1. Your comment doesn't make sense - 'never gonna do' what??
2. Not all of us BRITISH are ASSHOLES, mate...
3. I drive a Toyota 4WD.
Modern Land Rovers arent too bad on the reliability.
Land Rover rules
Dragon Butt but you’ll pay a lot on repairs. Air suspension is asking for trouble anyway... it won’t last as well as a Toyota.
1. A British programme is never gonna rate a Japanese Car.. they very rarely do, only homogenous models i.e Type R, GTR etc. Pretty simple, mate.
2. Always beemer blah blah blah....or some german over priced always in garage getting repaired POS....I'm done with these German unreliable heavy undynamic shit boxes. They are so exhausting after a long drive in a city or motorway ahem rS line, AMG and Msport. why do people bother? Cuz they're ASSHOLES.😜
3. I drive a Toyota 4x4. Now.
4. i thought Land Rover is Indian. Now.
5. I'm British.
take apart the luxury .when in the wild. Toyota will always get you home ... Toyota=reliable
shut up idiot
fuck the Toyota.ugly cars ever build in this planet
one will last 100,000 kms and one will last 450,000 kms. one is better at taking the kids to school and one is better at hard work. one cost a fortune in part and one doesn't breakdown.
timkiwi one looks awesome( the RR), the other ugly like hell
@@ushittyuglylc5037 if you think a a range rover is awesome I'm pretty sure you haven't seen that May good looking cars.
That is the Landcruiser Prado in most of the world. The proper Landcruiser is the 200 series and it has a 4.5 litre V8 diesel.
ya and the biggest Land rover is the Range rover, Which still has a better spec sheet ( off road/ on road than the 200 series) and a more powerful better engine/ gearbox.
Chop'tGreens: No doubt Range Rover has more features and comfort, but it is one of the most unreliable cars in the world. Land Cruiser on other hand is the worlds most reliable off-roading vehicle. You will not see any one using Range Rover for a Desert Safari in UAE for example. Most people here use it for city commute e.g. to pick and drop kids to the school school. In 5 year times a Range Rover price drops 70-80%. Land Rover really needs to improve its built quality and should take some lessons from Japanese car makers.
@@urbanlegend9922 I would
@@GreenOval_Adventurers well it doesn't take much to damage the air suspension system on a rang rover while you're actually off roading, and even Arab billionaires prefer the J200 Sahara over any high spec Rang rover
@@urbanlegend9922 You've obviously never looked at the 'build quality' of a land rover. The LC is a mass produced vehicle. 10 million of them built and sold .. 1 million of them here in Australia.
There are NOT so many of them because they are a 'quality' built vehicle!!
Toyota all the way ive had my 100 series land cruiser in africa for 18 years and it never stopped me on any terrain and condition
And I've had Land Rovers, also in Africa, and they have never let me down. All of them have done very high mileages. On all my trips to deepest, darkest Africa over the last 40 years the only vehicle that had to be towed out was a 4l V6 HiLux
Ive had my Land Rover 90 in Rhyl North wales for 23 years and it's never stopped me on any terrain and condition even when it gets wet
snow filled salted roads not used for month after month I think your Land Cruiser which is a copy by the way has had an easy life has it not ??????????
@@allanhughes7859 you have to be some new kinda stupid to call land cruisers a copy of a land rover. 😂😂 I didn't knew the US military which originally commissioned Toyota to build the LC FJ wanted it be a copy of a Land rover that copied the Willy's Jeep 🤣
The reliability is killing
for off-road ability, both are good. but if this test is done 5 years later, i donot think Disco will survive. LC is best known for reliability rather than extreme off-roading. that is why UN choose LC rather than disco. disco breaks down a lot even on the tarmac
UN chose toyota's because they are tractors and get the work done and in reality are cheaper, Apart from that etc noting else comes into play
@@carholic-sz3qv THAT''S COOL TRUTH!!!
Older Discovery 2 was known to be unreliable and poorly built. The Disco 4 is well built and it is an amazing car.
the most important is the reliability which is
10 to Land cruiser
0 to land rover
I have owned 5 LandRover vehicles without a problem! You have owned?
Yes bro as a d biggest fan of toyota i love ur comments.toyota dnt think abt there self.but abt money wud spend an pickups cars u name it.thts toyota will b king forever.last a lifetime wont cost ur dream house money.
True
U DON'T KNOW SHIT, u DON'T OWNED one,n u simply can't AFFORD one so shut the fuck up
No the most important is the one "THAT'S EASY TO FIX" is it not !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Old Land Rover just needs an adjustable spanner and a hammer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahahah they preferred the refined approach ahahah!! You will see when you need to approach the nearest mechanic to fixed all the issues... Ahahah!!!
What's wrong with the audio
A Prado
Just compare the original land cruiser
So then they can also use the big Range Rover?
Wilhelm Ritter
People don’t understand those things
a V8 Land Cruiser vs a V8 Range Rover will happen the same thing, after all, that V8 on the land cruiser is weaker than the new V6 on the Range Rover
how told you that idiot???
all i know is most people who use 4x4s in Africa use a Toyota Landcruiser
Because it won't break down in the middle of the desert like the Range Rovers lol.
Daesh like them too
And in d middle east too.isis use only toyota.only ting takes u to drop a boom!! Lol..😂😂😂
@@chicken4967 That is not the only thing. Land cruisers last and last. The old petrol Land rovers still work but none of the newer versions Land rover should revisit those 4 by 4s they built 40 years ago and see how they did it because it worked that is why these vehicles still work. Hint....Simplicity!
Or a Land Rover for Christ sake where have you been Africa is full of Land Rovers
That was prado vs disco
Let's see the v6 or v8 landcruiser
Yeah
So a 4.5 V8 land cruiser that makes 272 hp vs a 3.0 V6 that makes 256?
And also if you want the V8, bring the V8 Range Rover too, but then we are talking about 339hp
Any way the Toyota can last forever, but for real life usage the Land Rover are ok and way more luxury than the Toyota
@@lordsimon6141 the diesel landrover cost similar to 200 series Landcruiser. A prado gxl is much cheaper than any discovery
It WAS a V6 shit for brains!!!
the comparaison is stupid because that toyota is a land cruiser prado and not the proper land cruiser which has a v8 engine therefore not the same power and weight so stop the nonsense
Open your eyes numbnuts, NEITHER WAS THE LAND ROVER!
Is the new Toyota Prado twice the car of a used Jeep? + DRAG RACE czcams.com/video/8J0Jv3ZKHqo/video.html
Unfair comparisons. You should have compared the equivalent version of Land cruiser instead e.g. LC200 with 5.7 Liter Engine. In 5 years time Land-rover needs at least 50 visits to the Repair Shop, whereas Land-cruiser will last forever.
50 visits is conservative... It'd be living in the repair shop
That's hardy the equivalent. Try the test against the LC 4.5L V8 diesel. Both vehicles then have roughly the same torque.
id get the land cruiser. it won't fall apart after 3 years. i also prefer the styling.
The Discovery 4 will not fall apart after 3 years. It is well built, unlike old Range Rovers or Discovery 1 and 2. There are some 10 years old with 250k miles on the clock and working perfectly.
Not a fair comparison. The landcruiser is a prado. The engine is way smaller. Use the 100 or 200 diesel or petrol and either one will win over and over.
There are reasons why Toyota Land Cruisers are well known and popular all over the world for their power and off road capabilities; but if your cars are only popular in your own country for their off road capabilities then that says a lot about them!
Yeah... there is only one think count! The Ozzie have saying: "If you want to get to the bush, take land Rover. If you want to get back - take land Cruiser"... and they know something about hard conditions off the road!
Taken my LR4 to the most remote places in the most remote state of the country so not sure who made up that junk. Aussies have more slang than sense sometimes.
@@Russh1 You're not wrong.
My Disco's been everywhere all over Oz and hasn't missed a beat.
The two cars are competition between themselves and I like that
with the prado you go anywhere in the world, mechanics can fix it but the dico cant even be properly fixed in australia.
They are not using the proper land cruiser because the Brits can't just bear any other country winning.
All over the U.A.E's deserts I never saw any other S.U.V than the Toyota land cruiser because of their exceptional off road ability and bulletproof reliably.
BRO there are a lot of Nissan patrols out here in the UAE deserts.
There are nissan patrols, many of them in the UAE.
You haven't noticed?
The Prado is still a proper land cruiser, Toyota wouldn't put the badge on it if it weren't.
@@zombiefighterof1987 with that 2.8 engine?
I have owned a vehicle with that same engine, it has given me nothing but trouble.
The bad service experiences I faced made it even worse.
I can't say about the 2.8, but the 3.0 from the early 150 and the 120 and 90 series was a damn tough engine, reliable and plenty powerful. Also got pretty decent mileage.
I have a Freelander2 : 220000 KM and a RR sport 63000 km : SUPER!!!!
Toyota will still be working in 10-20years time, it won't need anything more than a standard service, it a true 4x4. My uncle has one registered in 2003 and it's still working fine today at nearly 15 years old.
I have a 2001 Discovery 2 TD5 and it's still running today ... has NEVER missed a beat!!
Been everywhere in it .. spend most of my time in Australia's outback.
The fact is .. if you look after your vehicle, regardless of it's make, it will look after you!!
One is reliable and the other one is an easy listening contest
All those folks who are complaining of reliability have probably never owned one discovery 4. Such people are just imposters owning an incapable rav4 crossover.
I know someone who bought a Disco 4 and shortly afterwards the engine literally grenaded. He had a recon engine fitted and in no time at all that one too had a catastrophic failure. They're utter shite.
The UN will decide in 2 factors..1.reliability and 2. Running cost...👍
The British SAS, the worlds most elite soldiers, have used land Rovers for nearly 7 decades. Thy DON'T use Landcruisers!!
I have a 2016 Land Rover discovery 4 in white hse luxury and love it
How about downtime in the garage?
that just proves that: you can ride the best off roader and still let the other one win
Correct
In OZ they say if you want to visit the Outback take a LandRover. If you want to come back take a Landcruiser.
UK crew, UK winner. If you drive for a couple of years the Toyota wins.
Can we stop arguing which off-roader has the most loyal fanbase and just appreciate that they are no SUVs..!
I have never seen a british show were they didn't praise the land rover, when they are some of the foultyiest cars with the most expensive repair costs...the land cruiser is the best fo the two by far, just check the resell prices on them and those numbers will speak for themselves
Miss afraid-of-offroading is suddenly no longer afraid. The jig is up Fifth Gear :D
"The Discovery refined approach" to the garage... where they spend most of their life :)
Where is landcruiser v8?😀
Aditya Mohan out of sight because they wanted the Land Rover to win...
Then we must also ask where is the big Range Rover?? Im actually pretty sure the Discovery is still a better buy than the V8 Land Cruiser. Toyota's are under powered, outdated & feel cheap'ish.
Wilhelm Ritter so you prefer independent suspension and will be broken every month than dependable cruiser with compromise on interior quality?
trianggaindra lukmana this isn't 1998 anymore
Land cruiser is a good tractor, A range rover/ discover 4 is that plus a Rolls royce at the same time.
My son bought a 20 year old Toyota starlet to learn to drive in, it’s legendary reliability was stunning, until the alternator seized...
It’s a prado not a land cruiser
It’s funny how many people state how bad a Land Rover is, but I bet the majority have never owned one. I’ve had LR, one Range and one land cruiser. The latter felt lesser off road, all were reliable
In Australia we say that you can go to the bush in a land rover but if you want to come back you need a land cruiser
J M
Arghhh! Not again!
By the sounds of things, that be the only phrase that you ever say to each other. Doesn’t it ever get boring?
I have had both ..The Land Rover was so unreliable, The land Cruiser Colorado was 100% the better 4x4 by far.
Whatever I will go for land cruser. Because that is more reliable.
now which will start the following day?
Doug Morongo car warranty spent 17k fixing his range rover garbage
Land Rover, please bring back the Disco 4, with new interior and infotainment, new I6 engines and new rear lights, call it a Disco Classic.
Not sure what was McGovern thinking when designing the Disco 5. His all other Land Rovers and Range Rovers designs are all great.
Next episode..." Vimto overtaking Coca-Cola"
Everytime they refer to the Prado as "Land Cruiser", a part inside me dies.
Also Prado is available with a 4 litre V6 in Gulf.
Lastly, FUCK OFF WITH THAT ROVER DUMP
Because that is the only land cruiser in Europe as the biggger one is too big for european driving conditions. The 4.0 V6 is available in other countries too
They should call it the Lexus 470.
Land rover and jaguar was owned by ford before at that time these brands were close to bankrupcy and than tata a indian man boght it and saved its ass....and i'm also a indian i know very well that infront of land cruiser no other SUV stands ....Land cruiser was the best suv it is still the best it will be the best ......i own 4 cars 2 of them are toyota's cars i know they are build like a tank ...and my friend owns a Land rover discovery 2016 model ..he hates that car for the maintaining cost of land rover discovery..
Discovery has one fatal problem
It’s inheritable between generations
I think the land rover works very well in Europe because of all these good paved road and no dust air environment, also the good quality fuel. But the truth is when a land rover vehicle (not defender) works mostly off road, it will begin to have all kind of problem in very short time. I have to say that land rover wins on comfort and engine power, but loses on long term reliability. What do you really expect from an off road vehicle? That's a fascinating question!
Off road is all about keepin moment
Look at the like to unlike ratio of this land Rover commercial
What has happened to the sound? Maybe check files before uploading.
I don't know what's worse, the audio or the content.
Needed doing and saying. Look at the trolls below. Defender and Evoque owner (both extremely reliable one rear diff on the Defender after wading without the plugs in, nothing at all wrong with the Evoque. 146k on the 110, 70k on the RR). Thought last year about a Land Cruiser as a retirement vehicle then drove one. Oh dear.
feeling cheaper is important in off roading
Growing up in Zambia, Africa. If you went out into the bush and you wanted to come back it would be the Toyota every time. I even remember the police getting rid of the land rovers and switching to Toyota because of the cost of maintenance.
This is not fair because you compared a compact Land Cruiser PRADO with a full size Land Rover. A face comparison would be against a Full size 200 series Land Cruiser
Old is gold
British journalists reviewing a Japanese car and a British car. Yeah!
Nothing to separate them apart from a 6000£ price difference 🤦🏼♂️
Was the audio recorded in a tunnel?
It is just a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado and not a Toyota Land Cruiser!
A Toyota Land Cruiser comes with 4.0L V6, 4.6L V8, 4.7 V8, 5.7L V8, 4.5L Turbo-Diesel engines which are way more ahead in terms of performance than these Prado lineup!
And you'll need to buy two Land Rovers to compensate for the one that will be "off road"..... getting repaired.
For this video we used 3 landrovers and 1 landcruiser
That's Toyota Prado. It's Land Cruiser's mini version.
How much did Land Rover pay for this video? because reality is sooo different
TRUE STORY
lol the are just looking viewers and subscribers and neither of those has a car thingy going on with them, just doing what they are told....
Fifth Gear
I would be very surprised if the British car did not win on the British channel. The outcome was clear from the start. That's just the people choose Toyota, not Land Rover, which is famous for its unreliability, especially electronics and crappry diesel engines
After five years that discovery would be in a workshop every weekend meanwhile the Landcruiser PRADO will be climbing that hill all day everday
The 'Prado' is the most useless of the Landcruisers!!
After five years the Discovery would be working perfectly while that Land Cruiser would be eaten by rust.
"But we prefer the Discovery bcoz we are British and we are biased as fuck" 😂😂😂
Vicki seems to be fine going off-road....weirdly. How? Never seen that before, except for one episode where she drove a Defender Dakar rally version. X-D
No comparison with Toyota, luxury aside. Land Rover paid for this advert but we know the truth. Toyota is always miles ahead when it comes to reliability. Land Rover is now a flash in the pan and gone.
Toyota will be reliable coupled with longevity as opposed to the premature demise of land rover.
Sound is like it was recorded from a sound bar
Pure favouritism for the land rover.
The pull test should have been done on the road. Soil could have been dampened
Now... Try to resale them... Haha... The Toyota still remains a high tag price, the Discovery... Not much
I drive a Land Rover. My recommendation. Don't do it. Your life will will be ruined and it'll spend more time at the shop then in yr garage. Always land cruiser for reliability. Anything Japanese really.
Totally agree with you there. I’ve had LR products for ten years, and every single one of them have had issue after issue. Decided to try Toyota Land Cruiser expecting to hate it, but despite being nowhere near as flash and refined, I’m loving the ownership experience. No longer worried every time I push the accelerator pedal of something else breaking. It fits every need, and Toyota’s reliability is legendary!!!
Also, never seen an engine with such a failure rate as the TDV6’s !!! Snapped cranks all over the place.
For everyone saying, the Prado and Discovery are better competitors. The V8 full of Land Cruiser would be a better competitor with the full on Range Rover.
Why does the land cruiser has 4 cylinders in other country like mine that land cruiser is the prado the land cruiser a bigger the prado has a v6 the land cruiser has a v8
Bring back 5th gear
Now do the 100'000 mile off road test. Toyota did this for the Landcruiser Amazon so would imagine the little toyota Colorado model you are using should do well on the endurance test.
Couple of things wrong with this video.
4:24 Disagreement with VBH it's not hard to find the right off-road mode.
5:17 Landcruiser is not kissing Rocks. 😑
Mabey if they had done some. Actual off roading.....
In england with our fuel prices we couldn't afford to run the real LC 200 v8! I would take a hilux as its affordable. The disco is attractive but a money pit
