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

[tourproto]

As a kid, I bought a new 1991 land cruiser, using the excuse to bring home my first born son and have something uber solid and cool. It was a fantastic and safe family hauler and possibly had the longest tenure of all vehicles I have owned in my life, 4 yrs. I switched to suburbans after (while having a jeep or other toy in the stable).

LOL, the SHORTEST tenure for the 3 cars I have owned in my life is my Bronco because it is only a little over a year old. My 2 prior cars were/are both 18 years old (OG Acura Integra 1986-2004 300K miles RIP... and 2004 BMW 330i 170k miles and it is still in the stable and running strong). I feel very lucky to have owned such reliable cars, and can only hope that the Bronco will last as long (I hope it does) because it has been a blast to drive.

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

That, and the fact there is no 3rd pedal on the floor...

Calling a known Msrp dealer tomorrow to see if they’ll take my deposit for a base 1958.

The BASE model starts at mid 50,000s. I'd say Ford doesn't have to worry much.

You're right. Now Ford will begin charging $53,999 for the base Bronco.

To me this is more of a 4Runner replacement. GX, LX and Land Cruiser were competing. Now they have the Lexus for the high end, Land Cruiser for serious off-road and maybe the new 4Runner as a softer one.

Hmmm. This does nothing for me. I keep looking at it wondering if I could find anything I like and …no. When I first saw the Bronco, my heart went “pitter patter”. No joke. It still does every time I look at it. I am so happy with my 2 door big bend with my upgrades. Glad I got the 2.7l - the bronco is fast…and the Mid Package. I was lucky to get mine in April 2022. I think I’d be priced out with increases and interest rates. And if I was going to pay 55-70k for a vehicle, it would just be a higher level bronco trim.

Unpopular Opinion:

Toyota does not intend to sell many of these here. They'll infinitely constrain supply and only allocate a small percentage of production for the US.

Back of the envelope prediction: 2025 4runner is close to the same size, made in Mexico, and more American-centric like the Tacoma, Tundra, and Sequoia.

Is traveling to Miami really that difficult, I drove my family to Florida twice in a Kia Soul.

Good Lord man. What would the neighbors say if you showed up in a Kia?

I would love to have a modern first gen 4 runner. SUV when you need it or truck when you need it with Toyota quality.

You, me and plenty of others would as well. Not sure its true but any competition makes Bronco and Wrangler better for customers.

Not really comparable IMO no V6, 35s still look to be a massive undertaking (I may be proven wrong but 35s have never been in toyotas designs) longer wheel base, it looks more like a mall crawler to me. I'll bet the 2nd or 3rd gen may give the bronco a run....... Give it a few years in the US market and then we will see.......

Yep, I like variety The bronco feels like a keeper for me though, time will tell!

I think it'll take a bite out of 4 door sales for sure.

It needs to be compared to higher trim level which in the bronco line up is similarly priced. Comes standard with rear locking differential, what model bronco has that included?

To my mind the big difference is the land cruiser has an actual hard top and I suspect it'll have decently quiet interior. I can tolerate my 2 door bronco's noise level but will always wish it had a permanent hard top with sound insulation.

Fuel economy for the land cruiser is going be significantly better than the bronco.

 

[EveryDayBronco]

Not a proper Bronco competitor, maybe to not steal the 4runner's thunder?

Where's the 2dr option, the manual, the removable door and roofs? I forgot this was the same thing as the FJ's, so talk about dropping the ball

Their 70 series has all that. Not sold here but Americans don'y buy enough manuals anyway!

2 door bronco, especially base model, still stands alone imo and is the best deal on a genuine 4x4 in the US!

And someday, maybe - just maybe - some of us will actually be able to order one before losing interest entirely....
