If you dont want to watch, 3 warning lights.
1 Suspension Fault, and 2 Low Coolant alarms.
You could hear the defeat in the guy's voice. What absolute dumpster fire of a vehicle.

Yeah, sounds more and more like a poopoo bucket. Somehow some manage to start with something really good and with years of 'development' fuck it all up. Damn, I miss those overseas Land Cruisers and Patrols. Either one would be great to have.
It's just absolutely getting killed in the comments section. What a PR nightmare.
These are not 3 iconic offroaders. They're the highly domesticated distant relatives of 3 iconic offroaders.

Agreed. It's like saying a dog is the same as a wolf. Maybe they share some DNA, but they're not the same beast
I occasionally think about how it’s only two more two years until my Prado/Colorado J90 (I’m dumb/tired) can be imported from the UK.

How does that compare to the GX?
Is the body and interior accoutrements the only difference?
My bad. I wrote j120. It’s a j90. We are going to replace it with a j120 when I ship the j90 back. They, GX and Prado 120, are the exact same thing with the exception of the rear door on some and the front fenders/headlights. The j90 is just slightly older interior dash, practically same seats.
Good analogy. And how is the posh soccer mom Armada the same as overseas Patrol, as per the guy in the video? Yikes.
It’s the same as the Nissan patrol now. The patrol has been fairly neutered since the previous three iterations.
Very well. Been a 'few' years since I have seen one in person I reckon. Time flies...
Toyota Land Cruiser Is Dead for 2022
A dealer source tells us that the Land Cruiser will be gone next year, but it's likely to make a triumphant return sometime soon.
Ha, can't wait to see those sales in Florida and other warmer states just sky rocket... Those damn posh SUVs is like looking at a shitty Swiss Knife, only needing a basic phillips head and 'having' to pay for additional crap one doesn't need. That of course is going in line with the fact that most here are utility/capability oriented vs. Corinthian leather everywhere...
Those TFL guys want to be fanboys so bad but Land Rover keeps bending them over. They had a D2, liked it and upgraded to a LR3/4, liked it and "upgraded" to a new Defender. Nearly a million subscribers and 300k views on the latest video; TFL could have been a huge marketing tool for LR.
So these mooks @ TFL have done a comparison test between a Defender and............ a Highlander. Because anyone knows when you think off-road beast you think Toyota Highlander.

Land Rover Defender Made to Look Good in Toyota Highlander AWD Comparison
The off-road capabilities of the all-new Land Rover Defender don't need a lesser competitor to shine, but the Toyota Highlander puts in a more than decent fight

Huh? Next up, for the racing car comparison, is the Corvette Z whateva the fuck the latest model is vs. an old John Deere tractor. Yeah, makes as much sense right there...
Yeah, and every video was always titled something like "Will This 15 Year Old LR Make It to The End of the Block?", or "Do LR3's Really Suck?". Then when their 2020 Defender really has an "issue", all the toyota and jeep fan-boys can feel good about their new $50k vehicle purchase,
Check out CO TRAILS on Youtube.
Here is another guy in Colorado - from Denver Land Rover - who actually took it up some decent trails and gives it a good workout.
The first one is without the rear locker and has the stock 20' rims and Goodyear All-Terrain tires.
They then - LR Denver- put some 18" rims, 2" lift and 33" Toyo MT's on another one with the Off-Road Package and rear locker.
Pretty impressive.
Much tougher test than any trail I've seen TFL run.
