2024 Toyota Land Cruiser World Premiere 📣 Hybrid Only For U.S. and Pricing Starts Mid-$50K

[Lèòn]

Sure a lot of people will be turned off with hybrid/i4 only.

Sure a V6tt option would have been widely accepted, even if it's a TRD Pro

I really like it. Only thing I dislike is doors don't come off, but man it has me on the fence about the bronco...

Still waiting...

1. Body on frame
2. better approach, break over and departure angles
3. locking rear differential
4. likely legendary reliability
5. more HP
6. more torque
7. better terrain management modes
8. Disconnecting sway bar
9. 2 speed transfer case

anyone who thinks these are similar is stupid, jaded or both.

I maybe an oddity but to me, it looks ugly and unfinished for the price that it’s going to go for… especially the round headlight version.

sticking with bronco

Haha if I get 4dr Bronco = Lifted Flex memes your pride can handle a little Telluride comparison

Interesting comparison by Motor1:

2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Vs. Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler, Land Rover Defender

You'll be surprised at the number of people that's asked me if the top can come off. I've literally seen one down here with everything off. It's just too damn hot. I also don't trust the factory hardtop for anything more than keeping rain off my head.

I'm in that camp a bit, I look at the bronco as a vehicle that's stupid fun for reasons other than being a convertible. I'll occasionally take the front row panels off for the commute home or the middle one as well if the kids ask during the two weeks a year when our weather doesn't classify as humidity hell, rainy winter/spring or popup thunderstorm whackamole. That has been it over the last year and a half, the rear clamshell has never come off. At this point I think I'd be fine trading the convertible ability for a fixed or one-piece roof option that suffered from less wind noise Monday through Friday.

Never considered it being "too hot" or "too humid" for a convertible! It's humid up here in the summer, and snows half the year, but otherwise I think I'll have the top off for 3 straight months in the summer when I finally get one!

I don't think the press release mentions it but the Toyota website notes that the 4cyl iForce Max engine on the LC will have a combined 27 MPG rating. For a vehicle this large/heavy that's pretty impressive - if MPG is part of your purchasing criteria.

Apparently it’s 2” longer than the current 4Runner. Also currently not available with a 3rd row in the US although other markets get one (bit miffed about that).

3rd grow only in the Lexus GX550 unfortunately

What is different between this and a 4Runner?

It remains to be seen if this version lives up to the LC heritage. But, in the past LCs were in a different league regardling quality and durability when compared to most all other vehicles. It's not uncommon for an LC to go half a million miles w/o any major issues.

Will be interesting to see how they market this vs. the new 4runner, which is also supposed to launch as a 2025 model sometime next year. But Toyota really listened to customers and the market on this one and I think it will be a huge success. Now if they would just allow reservations/pre-orders....

Base model starts at 52k according to

Good catch!

There's a * next to it. Granted, its probably due to different trims and the biggest tires will have the lowest MPG. Ticks all the check boxes for me for an over landing vehicle. Could use more ground clearance (on base) but we will have to wait on the what off road trim specs will bump it up to.

I’m bummed about the lack of 3rd row option too. Not sure what to go with now, maybe the current gen 4Runner before they update it since I’m not sure the 3rd row will make it to the redesign of that platform.

Or just find a Telluride and be done with it.

Still waiting...

You are waiting because not many here want to feed the troll...

 

[JBlanco]

Yeah, because reliability is the only criteria that makes a good vehicle. Idiot.....
Go drive a Corolla
