The 2021 Land Cruiser Heritage Edition is Toyota's Final Send Off to the Series 200 LC

- The #ToyotaLandCruiser is the oldest running nameplate in the Toyota lineup. For 2021, the #LandCruiserHeritageEdition is the sayonara given by #Toyota to the #Series200 generation, which has been around since 2008. There are rumors that Toyota will bring the #LandCruiser back as a more purpose built and less expensive off-roader, but this 2021 version should very well become a collectors item for those of you who can afford its $85k price tag.

Hey guys! So this video was filmed before Toyota confirmed that 2021 would be the last model year of the series 200 Land Cruiser in the US. They have no commented on when it would return, but there are rumors saying it could come back in 2023 as a Jeep Wrangler and Ford Bronco competitor. We're keeping our fingers crossed that Toyota gives this nameplate the proper revival it deserves, especially with so many new off-road lifestyle SUV coming to marker in the next couple years!
Peraonally I’m not the biggest fan of these old Toyota trucks. Sure they are reliable but cmon for 85k I could get a BMW X7. The Toyota 4Runner is a much better deal.
...POTHOLES....ROCKS......ZOMBIES
@@kristians2704 bmw x7 junk car. It’s not even a competitor man. Body on frame vs unibody. Land Cruiser is a real SUV. It has the real off road ability. X7 is sedan chassis. Not even close. U have no vechile knowledge
@@kristians2704 And in the US most BMW is for lease. If you take 85k for the BMW X7 u are really idiot. After 3yrs the resale value only 45k might be. Lease 3yrs x7and return to dealer that it. No one gonna buy it. Who buy land cruiser and lease bmw X7 are different group of people man
@@xavierx447 The X7 isn’t a “junk car”. Almost all reviews of it have been positive and it has one of the nicest interiors and best tech of any car. I know that it isn’t body on frame but I will never go off-road and so that doesn’t matter.
I got my 2020 LC $20,000 off. The dealer was scared that it wouldn’t sell due to COVID just starting.. great deal!!!!
All land cruisers will become collectible. I bought mine before the announcement and got a great deal. Now they are going over sticker. This is the best vehicle in the world. You can drive it from Anchorage to Argentina no problem. It’s the most capable durable reliable vehicle ever made and will go down as the most sought after Toyota ever. Ford expeditions and Yukon’s are around the same price 90 K. I can’t imagine buying one of those over a Land Cruiser. Unlikely Toyota ever brings it back to the United States. If you want one better get one soon and be prepared to pay big money. If you want the best do you have to pay to play
You are absolutely right. That’s why I bought one pre announcement in late December with a nice discount. And yes I can attest to post announcement of it being discontinued, the order time the heritage model is longer and the dealer doesn’t want to discount them anymore.
Yeah I got mine back in December 2020 not long after the announcement. I’d been kicking it back and forth for a year, and decided to pull the trigger when I found out the new model would not be coming here. I actually got it a decent amount below sticker. The dealership I bought it from told me they had sold more LC’s that month than they had sold in the last three years lol.
DO NOT bring this back as a f***** CROSSOVER
I could NOT agree more!
It will never come back as a crossover. Land Cruisers are trucks pretty much by definition. The Land Cruiser isn't made for the US market. It is designed for less developed places and it isn't being discontinued in most of the world. It is only being canceled in the US due to poor sales. When the Land Cruiser is eventually refreshed it will still be a truck or at the very least something like the modern Range Rovers. Either way it will be a dedicated off roader. Whether they actually end up selling the new version in the US is questionable. Regardless the Lexus LX is literally a Land Cruiser with a better interior and because it is basically the same price there is very little reason to buy the current Land Cruiser except for nostalgia for the name. The LX already sells multiple times more than the Land Cruiser. Discontinuing the Land Cruiser will just increase sales of the LX further.
@@LoganNolag they said that about the Nissan Pathfinder and the Chevy Blazer and Trailblazer and look what happened to them. all the OG SUVs are reduced to these castrated beta-mobiles. All of which are driven by guys whose idea of an adventure is switching from Jersey Mike's to Jimmy John's every Thursday
@LoganNolag the pathfinder and Chevy were US driven vehicles. The Land Cruiser has a world following in other markets where it is more popular. The biggest concern is “if” it comes back to the US market.
@@TheFolkTube Exactly.
True facts: 1950s Land Cruisers are still running lol
Really? How many do you personally see driven regularly? Go to any weekend classic car show and you can see many antique cars that are still roadworthy.
Every single one of them? BTW, that was only one fact.
and they where affordable back than land cruiser was not the price of 2 or 3 Toyotas
Remember most American classic and antique cars have been repainted and refurbished to the nines. The 50's Landcruisers will be running without the upgrades.
Well in 3rd world countries not in America for instance
Yes, it is time for Toyota to bring us a fully capable but non-luxurious Land Cruiser for thousands and thousands less. To give you an idea, in other markets you can buy a Land Cruiser with a cloth interior, 4.0 V6, steel wheels and tailgate doors like an Econoline Van. Let the Lexus LX handle the luxury duties. We will see if the recent sales surge of Land Cruisers encourages Toyota to keep this flagship around. In terms of a much smaller and cheaper 'Land Cruiser', there is always the 2 door Prado which is already built alongside the 4Runner and GX. Give that Prado two-tone paint as well as a manual and call it the "Land Cruiser Classic". They could be on our roads competing with the base Wrangler before Ford ever gets that new Bronco in production. ;-)
4 runner
A new, true Troopy. No frills. The ultimate but middle class affordable, offroad family truxster.
@@curtmckay8977 Exactly.
These are also sold with V8 diesels and A MANUAL TRANSMISSION outside the usa
Here is an example czcams.com/video/YNuXL9joHEU/video.html
@@johneldepresso Thanks for the link. To this point I have not seen a new 300 Series Land Cruiser with a manual.
The resale with these is all you need to know. Just saw a 15 year old one in craigslist the other day with 200k and they were still asking 20 grand. No other car with that kind of mileage is worth it. These aren't built for an enthusiast, they are built for someone who wants true quality and off road capability.
Exactly!
@@rightlanehog3151 reward companies for making good products!
Nailed it mate
I bought this truck because of the fact that it still largely analog, and tough and reliable as hell. The 2021 is the most perfected car since the 911. It has been around so long that 99% of the bugs and defects have been ironed out of it.
A couple of things. You can turn off the power tailgate and make it fully manual with the push of a button. This is the way I leave it most of the time. It is true that it does not have all the latest electronic toys, but this again was part of the reason I went with it. It honestly has all the features you will actually need without all the reliability issues you get with newer trucks (See Defender etc). This truck is just built like a tank, and that is the greatest thing about it. In the end I went with the LC HE because I never wanted to need to buy another truck.
We tend to talk about modern ...but to real 4wd enthusiast things like airbag suspension and tons of electronics just don't work in the real world ....
@Nomen Clature - Yeah, at $80k +, I don't understand it.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH It caters to a niche market for real rugged utilitarian users. Moreover, its indestructible. When you go into a rural area that's what will keep you alive. It's definitely not for city slickers as they cannot appreciate it or enjoy it the way its meant to. Even the reviewer has no clue what it means. Its like a getting a McDonalds server rating a Michelin Rated restaurant, Absolutely no cohesion. This vehicle represents the pinnacle of off-road motoring. It is nothing less than legendary.
I bet it will still be $50k in 2031
it is 50k but for lower options like v6 only available in the middle east and Australia
It’s $80k because it will run for like 25 years haha.
After 25 years, the cost of fuel of this over a tesla can get you a brand new m5 even if the gas price don't change, although i will never get a car with no engine
Same can be said for a $30k 4Runner. This price is insane for something lacking any semblance of luxury.
Landcruiser can go anywhere so said every australian its worth the money
@Nomen Clature No, for that price, they missed the point.
@@lukewarm2075 This American, who took one across the Outback, agrees. Amazing vehicles.
for customers where wants a big old looking offroader it´s the perfect car, buy it and drive the car for over 30 years.
I m here from indonesia always watching your great review!! Thanks
My sister in Colorado sold her 2000 LC with 200,000 for a good price. Traded down to a Forester to help save the planet as the MPG for long hauls to Portland were just too much! Overall interior room was tight but comfortable and the V8 had good shove!
I don't care if it doesn't have the latest tech, I would buy the Land Cruiser over a Range Rover, Benz or Audi!
Agree
I honestly don't understand what's to complain about, here? For folks who buy this legendary SUV MPG and Android Auto are irrelevant topics. Otherwise they'll be considering something like Range Rover or some other less capable and less reliable brands. If I had money I would buy this SUV over anything pretty much whether it's G-wagon, Range Rover or some other ones. When push comes to shove this is going to be the ultimate SUV that's going to get you out from any situation life may throw you at.
You answered your own question. $$$
Nothing beats that old school big v8 with horrible gas mileage lol, but it probably could use more horsepower and efficiency
@Nomen Clature - No thanks. Not spending $80k to go off roading. I'll buy a used Wrangler or Grand Cherokee for $15k to do that.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH Expensive off roading and cheap off roading are too different things it would seem. I mean why else make a 392 Wrangler?
Hands down the most handsome vehicle I've seen in a while
She will be missed...until her glorious return in 🤔 years...
...As an EV crossover coupe
@@SaintMecha 😳 I sure hope not...😏
@Nomen Clature Be prepared though. The 5.7ltr will 'not' be returning in the new 2022 Tundra. They're going for I believe a newly designed, V6. Most likely with dos turbolos...😆
@Nomen Clature it's confirmed. 2022 " LC300 gen" will only have 3.5 V6 turbo.

Good coverage....
I get 17.3 mpg combined since new in my heavier (because of the 3rd row seats) 2018 TLC.You've got a lead foot my friend.
Only thing the landcruiser is lacking is a larger gas tank. If they could fit a 38 gallon tank it be easier to travel without making so frequent stops.
Hi Redline Reviews, even if we don't know any exact dates for the Land Cruzer, I love it. My name is Luis Urbietafrom Escondido, California and I love this review but no cars are 100% perfect. My question is if every car manufacturer believes in nothing but perfection what would've happen?
good review!
What's the point of getting this over a 4runner TRD pro if it sits 5? Am I missing something?
Is it me or are those seat memory buttons straight out of the original Lexus LS400?
Here in GCC we will have the LC300 2022 Land Cruiser (with V6). But not sure if there is a real future for it after that.
If i can afford it I'll prolly get one of this. Want a 7 seater tho. I dont see this car a lot on the road at least where I live.
Most Toyota fanboys can't afford the Land Cruiser new or slightly used.
Wish I could afford it, ended up getting a 4runner !😊👍
Which Raybans are you wearing??
Wait this thing is 87k with that interior?
You did a good job with this review. But you, like many, seem to miss the point of an LC: This is the truck you want to be in when you're in the middle of nowhere. It's like owning a Range Rover that doesn't break down. Just make sure that you pack some extra fuel tanks with you when you go! She's a thirsty girl!
I don't think he missed the point... I think you missed his. Your use case of "being out in the middle of nowhere" can be equally fulfilled by a 4runner or GX rather than the Landcruiser which is literally double the price. The Landcruiser's pricing is what makes it a poor value proposition, not a lack of capability or reliability. The price of the Landcruiser is ostensibly high and that's why both it and the LX has continued to sell like crap here in the US. The LX has the same issue- there isn't $40k in value for that vehicle over the GX. The competition in the US for fullsize SUVs is much more stiff than the rest of the world because they sell so well here due to cheap gas. Also let's not act like having a Ford, GM, or Dodge fullsize SUV in the middle of nowhere is some major liability- they have more experience with V8s than Toyota does by light years.
@@sly9263 I have owned every vehicle you mentioned in your reply, with the exception of an LX. You're simply incorrect. The TLC is absolutely much better than any of them. The only thing that even comes close off road is an older P38 Range Rover. I had two of those. They are amazing off road, until they break, which is often. So the TLC is a better choice all around. Taking a GX or a 4Runner as possibly viable options, you're right, sort of. But they are much smaller. So your gear is more limited. And to do the things that a stock TLC can do, one would have to modify both the 4runner and GX, which costs significant money. The good news is that for now, we are still free to have our own opinions, and we can agree to disagree. Cheers!
@@mattphillips1910 if TLC was "as better" as you claim it would sell well... but it doesn't. That's why it's peer, large luxury SUVs outsell it by 5-10-20 times over. No, the TLC and LX are not radically bigger than a GX or 4runner. Go look at the actual seating dimensions and body length. In some cases its actually smaller seating dimensions. The TLC is closer in size to the GX or or a midsize than it is to every other large luxury SUV.
@@sly9263 The TLC and 4 Runner are not comparable. The TLC and GX are comparable, but the GX is lacking in about 14 different ways, unless it's modified. I'm not sure what point you're trying to prove? Have you ever driven a TLC in serious off road conditions? I have. A lot. There is absolutely no comparison between modern TLC, 4 Runner and GX. (If we are talking about all stock.) Is a TLC too expensive? Well, probably yes. But in my experience, you get exactly what you pay for. I have walked Land Cruisers out of places that track-laying heavy equipment gets stuck in. I don't know what else to say. There really is no comparison. The only thing that I am aware of that ever came close is a P38 Range Rover. The reason Toyota stopped selling it in the US has nothing to do with price. It's all about the EPA regulations. It is one of the best selling vehicles in Australia. Gee, I wonder why? If you want a 4x4 that can carry people, tow a trailer, and perform off road reliably, there really isn't anything else out there, bone stock, that even comes close. Cheers!
@@mattphillips1910 there is zero use case for 99.99999% of drivers to put their off-road vehicle in a place where "track laying heavy equipment gets stuck". You're using an edge case as a defense for why it's supposedly that much better than it's comparable peers- it's irrelevant. There is no value proposition for double the price any way you cut it. They sold poorly in the US and it ate into LX sales so they were just inbreeding sales. Australia has far less vehicle options in that market than we do.
Hopefully Toyota brings a totally new Land Cruiser design in a few years. The market for these off road vehicles is pretty lucrative, just look at the Wrangler, the massive line for new Bronco orders, and even their own 4Runner. A clean sheet redesign would be well worth the R&D investment
They are launching a new LC very soon, the only question is whether it comes to this market.
My bet is that of course they will bring it here. Demand for large 4 wheel off road SUV is huge and its profitable. They will use their production line to fill orders in their big markets of Australia, Middle East, China and Russia and then when that demand tapers off, they will be back. Forget the V8 though, the turbo V6 will replace it and yes, the “modern people” will get their apple play too.
Nice Jacket!
No lies!! love this beast more than any European brand
How? It’s the most outdated thing ever. Euro cars are cool, fast, tons of tech and features and so many different models.
@Nomen Clature I'm not going to Elk country so for me that doesn't matter and most people aren't taking cars like this offroad.
Dream car. Hopefully I can still buy an lx570 new in a few years
They said it will be discontinued, so what’s the hold up?
I want one so bad but i'm poor LOL
Keep working.
I owned a 91. Solid and super reliable truck based suv. These will be missed.
This will be a legend like the mid to late 90’s Supra’s,,,,Bet me! When they are gone, they are gone. In 5 years you might get 90% of your money back on this rare gem!😎
They cant even keep these on the lots at Toyota. They are in high demand!
that key is also used on the Mirai
They need to offer a dealer option to have that Apple CarPlay and Android auto added. Minus taking it somewhere else.
Here in ph, we'll be getting the lc300 maybe in 2022
In the EU we only have one engine option and that is the 2.8l Diesel with 200hp / 30mpg. Much better fuel economy but the v8 of course sounds much better.
What’s the difference between this and a Sequoia, other than $20-30k?
Sequoia is larger and it probably isn’t as robust or high quality as the LC, and to me the LC looks way more upscale. It definitely doesn’t have the status of the LC.
We can't get this in Canada =(
2021 4runner has apple carplay and android, as the one touch turn signal stock. its kinda disappointing to see toyota not doing that for this, even if its in last year. Especially 85k.
This thing will outlast any other SUV. too bad people want overcomplicated junk instead.
I feel you, everybody wants 38 inch screens that are gonna be outdated in 2 years, then bigger screens which will make no sense in about 10 years. Keep it simple with 8 to 10 inch screen.
@@kellyoubrejr544 so true sadly. a 10 inch screen is more than enough as you said. in fact i don’t even bother with infotainment since my phone can do the job. but still a sad thing cars like these would likely disappear
@@zhila5958 Yep, and my thing is this... Why update a screen that "todays people want", it's gonna look the same way as this Landcruiser in 2+ years... But if that's what people want these days, give them what they want 🤷🏽♂️.
@@kellyoubrejr544 honestly you’re right. people nowadays don’t make any sense. i miss when cars had a radio instead of a glued iPad.
@@zhila5958 Facts 😂.
LANDCRUISER ❤️
I know there’s a lot not to like about this car, but for some reason I still love it.
It's just a simple and classic car, and sometimes that's all people are wanting~~ The Land Cruiser also just has a certain presence to it in my opinion.
This car will become a collectible
Well. too bad you guys will not be getting the LC300 ... We in the Middle East will definitely be getting it... and it seems to be very promising ... And not only that, we have more trim level here in GCC... Anyone wants to know more, hit me up
LC sells like corona virus in USA unlike our market. So that why Toyota is killing in that Market. In GCC we also don't see many sport cars and european hot hatchback
Of course!
Love it! Too bad Toyota Canadá don’t offer this vehicle
Sup with the 5 lug wheels? I thought real trucks used 6?
Toyota please Bring Prado and Fortuner to USA
Seems like I saw you do this review 🤔
That’s gone be hard to collect a land c when they get 1 million miles.
Goals 🙏
Such a great car❤😓
Whenever sofyan says “I hope you guys enjoyed the review”… I always say yes I did LOL
Cause of the price on these I feel like you may as well just get a Lexus
Toyota really likes implementing 90s amenities in their expensive vehicles
Smiles per mile...😀
Nice Toyota jacket. Did you get it for free? What else did you get for free for this "unbiased" review?
jeep gladiator plz plz 😇
If they made it more affordable it would sell
You can definitely take this bad boy off roading then still go to the country club for a night out for dinner.
Man. I could do 60K. I love this thing but 80K is a bit too steep. Might go to the used market for sure
Used market isn’t much better. These things are still over $30K with 100K miles.
1.5 yrs later. Be prepared to drop literally $80k+ for this lol. I’ve seen them as high as $130k (!!!!!!!!!!)
I think in the middle east these are popular
I know this vehicle will give you solid reliability but that price tag though...
Sad they discontinued the land cruisers here. Wish it was more affordable
can you review the HRV?
looks pretty good for an old lady
Toyota missed a huge opportunity here. They could’ve made a G wagon competitor
If I must get a SUV with unlimited money, this would be at the top of the list.
Why not get the Lexus version?
This looks better imo. Probably better off road as well.
5,7л 👍👍👍
Personal preference, but that basket is a joke on an $85k truck. Also increases the wind noise. Would prefer one low profile, if I bought the heritage, pulling it off the basket would be my first mod.
I would like if toyota make the new land cruiser with retro design hommage to fj40 land cruiser.That would be great.
about $50k go after the bronco /wrangler where its roots started
Ah yes ol reliable
Something that can’t be said of its competitors
@Nomen Clature this v8 is indestructible
When is the 2021 Honda Ridgeline review coming out?
I think this is a bad review. I think this guy forgets why ppl like this vehicle and why Toyota is well known for.
$80k and no one touch 3 blinks 😿. My 2015 Camry even had it. Come on Toyota especially if it includes all the safety sense. No rear usb outlets either. 😥
My 2003 Mercedes has it. This thing is an anachronistic overpriced pig at almost 6000 lbs. People talk like they're going to use these during the apocalypse, fantasy crap. First, people won't be going anywhere, they'll be sheltering in place. Second, there won't be a power grid or any fuel during an apocalypse, and this oinker gets 10 mpg combined with a tiny fuel tank. Good luck going anywhere.
Hope toyota made this thing standard with a diesel engine
I think I soiled my trousers watching this.
Love the design but I don't understand why you would get this over the Lexus GX for the price.
Lexus GX, LX, the Sequoia and Land Cruiser are all way overpriced in 2021. Super outdated and old fashioned
Land cruiser is step up from gx and its bigger. U get land cruiser instead of gx simply because u can afford it
@@kristians2704 u sounds like a loser
@@xavierx447 no, I just like good cars that don’t feel like they come from 2005
In the year 2023 Toyota will release a hatchback EV with 5 inches of ground clearance, marketed as "a rugged SUV" under the name 'Land Cruiser'.
😲😔👎
And it will have a CVT.
Again a great OLD review!
The best generation was the J50 and no one can convince me otherwise.
For the first time the Lexus LX 570 is cheaper than the Land Cruisers in the second hand market.
Can't buy this in Canada
I don’t understand why in all his reviews (every single one of them for every single car) he floors all of them...multiple times.
People want to know how cars accelerate? Its good to know, esp for overtaking purposes.
The V8 models are going to stay popular for a long time now they are getting rid of the 5.7
This is your grandfather car!
maybe if they didnt sell this starting at 80k more people would buy it lmao
Oh my gosh this guy truly does not understand what the land cruiser segment is for no one cars about what you’re talking about. Missing this missing that not one land cruiser person is buying a land cruiser for that
2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition!
Im calling it, the Landcruiser most likely won't return to the US but since the FJ Cruiser is still being offered in other markets, the FJ Cruiser or a new FJ Cruiser might be offered in the US soon.
I didn’t even know these were still being made.
