...I went to a small overland expo this past weekend. They had a trail and obstacle course you could do, so I signed up. 
Well, you never going to convince me. It is a follow up of the 150 aka the LC Prado range.Haha, wow, that’s a lot to unpack. So you’re saying the 250 is an LC Prado? Hate to break it to you, but thaaaaat’s a Land Cruiser, bud. And your big 'review' comes from sitting in one while grabbing oil filters? Feels like a RAV4? Alright, man. Anyway, yeah, it’s one of the three types of Land Cruisers. Honestly, compared to the 200, I think the interior materials feel better, but hey, that’s just my take. The fact is, it’s still a REAL Land Cruiser, no matter what either of us thinks... but I’ll respectfully step away from this subforum for now. I got excited when someone said, 'I love ALL the Land Cruiser models!' so I posted an image of all three types with the message, ‘One for all and all for one.’ But I guess that sense of camaraderie isn’t shared by some 200 Series owners. No, no these are the real Land Cruisers, right? Sounds a bit arrogant and ignorant to me, but very well. Not saying it’s all of you, but the 200 Series has cursed many of its owners… and at this rate, the cursed ones may never be happy in another Cruiser again. Guess they’ll have to keep the machine spirit alive in the 200 forever and ever. Cheers!
you see all the motor replacements of the v6 TT?
smart man!!!
sounds like that woman resembles a 250 owner
After the trail ride, I scouted the obstacle course. I watched a woman in a 4 dr bronco high point herself 3 times in a row on a hill holding the line up. She had to be pulled off all 3 times . I don't know what she was thinking holding everybody up like that. If I was in line at the time, I would have been irritated. Ok you tried, got stuck then had to be pulled off. Kudos for the effort. You then gave it a go again and the same thing happened. What makes you do it again a 3rd time when people are waiting for you? Crazy.
It wasn't a Badlands or any of the similar beefier models, so it's clearance was not that great. Good times. The LX didn't break a sweat.
save your throw up for somthing more worthy
Owning a 1947 Packard is showing your age.
I just vomited. Thanks, A.I.!
Yeah, I don't get this. They also decide to put in 3rd with the same rating another Bronco in the Raptor version. OK, if that is the way you do things, then wouldn't the GX550 also have the same rating and be in 4th?
Yes, it is a Prado, but some people that bought into Toyota's marketing fantasy have a bit of trouble to accept that. This is a troll that just joined mud (probably after ordering his 250) and that needs to convince himself over and over again by coming to the forums and defending his Prado purchase at his wit's end. Oh, and sometimes he also uses AI to up his trolling of people like you that disagree with his arguments too. Just a real peach.
Do you seriously think I bought my Land Cruiser thinking it’s just a station wagon, you little troll? I pitted the 250 against the 200 Series before pulling the trigger jumped through the 200’s exit wound and chose the 250 after getting a deep look into the 200. The only things I prefer on the 200 are the tailgate and regular fuel. I don’t care for the V8 I’m not towing anything. I'm sure the 4banger will prove just as reliable over time. As of now everything else on the 250 for my usage massacres the 200 Station Wagon.Yes, it is a Prado, but some people that bought into Toyota's marketing fantasy have a bit of trouble to accept that.

Furthermore, there's another forum that's thriving with 250 owners, free from trolls like you. But I prefer IH8Mud until you jumped into the 250's subforum trolling folks and trying to talk down to them, Then you met me, the troll slayer.Yes, it is a Prado, but some people that bought into Toyota's marketing fantasy have a bit of trouble to accept that.

Yes. As you will see, that is the direction I took. Ignore troll.
It goes without saying that those who chose the 200 prefer the 200 and those that chose the 250 prefer the 250. I chose the 200 and I think I made the best choice. But I don’t think we need to make people feel bad about the choices that they made. I choose to focus on What we have in common, which is a love for trucks that enable off-road adventures, connecting with nature, quality time with family and loved ones. All that chose the 200 and the 250 share that in common. While I believe that the 200 is more of a “real” land cruiser than the 250, I think the 250 has the spirit of the Land Cruiser as well, even if it lacks some of the qualities that I personally admire most about land cruisers.
The entire list is nonsensical to me. They claim that the score is based on "acceleration, handling, comfort, cargo space, fuel efficiency, value, and how enjoyable they are to drive." None of the BOF midsize 2 row suvs should perform well in any of those categories other than maybe enjoyable to drive. The bronco has terrible acceleration, handling, comfort, cargo space, fuel efficiency, and value*. Compared to any midsize crossover, the bronco or the LC/4R shouldn't be anywhere near the top of that list. If the list is really just "cars we think are cool" - then maybe just say it that way.
I was going to mention the bronco's being cheaper. $25k UNDER msrp is nuts! Maybe that (and ad revenue) is what gave it the number 1 spot?
