Came across this today related to E-KDSS vs SDM. Here he talks specifically about KDSS, but touches on the others. He also says he will be doing a video focusing on SDM vs E-KDSS. The interesting thing is the non KDSS 550 still has more flex...

I feel like if it were standard for Lexus, mud of all places would be aware of it. Sounds like a dealer thing. I do wonder if that specific dealer has gotten in trouble for selling to exporters and now has to do this. However if someone is...

Fixed

Very interesting… The 250 is our ticket to Van Life??? I’m so confused rn…

No need to know the why's but all I am gonna say is God bless you and protect you, always. 🙏🏿🫂. PS: the "thunk" sound, is important ! 👌🏿🤗

You have no evidence that that is true. As the article I pointed you to clearly states, the sound a door makes when you close it can be tuned by the manufacturer. So the sound itself is not indicative of the quality of the vehicle. Rather, it is...

You guys realize that manufacturers can tune the door thunk, right? So how it sounds is not a function of how well built the car is but rather how much time they spent tuning the sound...

Which example of mine was an infomercial? Frankly, I think the level of assuredness in these threads that everything you hear is a lie is more ignorant than listening to people that have actually seen the vehicle, even if they could possibly...

I'm still struggling with the "Prado" hate on the 250, but I will admit that my only LC experience is in an 80 series. The 250 has twice the hp/tq as my 91 and tows more. What makes my 80 series a full on land cruiser and this a prado? Just...

So to review it looks like: GX550 is the new Land Cruiser. The 250 is the new 4Runner. The 6th 4R is basically a Tacoma without the bed. Something for everyone if one gets past the Orwellian assault on language.

As much as I want to defend the LX 600. It doesn't deserve that price in its current form.

Plan on never buying another Toyota again then

First Edition LC's incoming! I put an early deposit down on both LC and GX. I'm in the first 10 for LC and first 100 for GX at Longo. They called me today (3/24) to offer this one. Minimal port options @ $439 (door edge guard and wheel locks)...

So we’re looking at the same price as the “bloated luxury SUV” that failed because it was too expensive. Only difference is that this time Toyota has downgraded the vehicle and is selling us a Prado instead…? :worms::slap: P.s. I say that...

Fixed that for you.

I think this is completely incorrect in regards to MUD. In fact, I'd argue that the majority of people here are not Toyota fanboys but love the Land Cruiser. I bet it would be over 95% of people on this site who are just here for the technical...

Worst picture thread ever.

I would agree if the models without E-KDSS didn't have more articulation than the previous generation with KDSS. More flex with less complication is a win-win IMO.

No. I refuse to watch his channel again. Too much bait and switch. Fells like watching Scott Kilmer but specific to GX😄

Easy solution to your dilemma. Don’t buy it.

Has everyone screaming "Prado" forgotten that the 250 series wheelbase is the same as the 300 series? Sure the 300 has a bigger body, and "probably" some more robust drivetrain features. Well hopefully for the added cost. But the new 250 is...

These are no longer prototypes.

I’ve watched this happen with the 80, the 100, and 200, though I was somewhat sympathetic with criticisms of the 100 and 200 as luxury bloat increasingly (and ultimately fatally) compromised utility and value. But it’s even funnier this time...
