You should always at one time in you life buy your "dream" vehicle. With the LC/LX you cannot lose and you won't have the remorse you would get every time you see one while driving a Sequoia.

I Know a guy with a new Armada and 2 that have QX80’s. They are very solid since they went to to Patrol platform (from the titan). That said just like with the LC it would be nice to have trim versions we don’t get here in the USA. And the 3rd row folds into the floor so per the OP asking about the 2 row LC it would have more cargo room then the Nissian.You might look at the new "Patrol" ie QX/Armada I understand it is pretty solid.

The used market doesn't think much of them holding of their value. You can get one used pretty cheap compared to a LC200 of the same year.You might look at the new "Patrol" ie QX/Armada I understand it is pretty solid.

Fully agree. The guy I know with the armada bought for value. He said his new was about the same price as a 4 year old LX/LC. That said armada’s are everywhere up here in AK. The 2 with QX bought over an LX due to the “bells and whistles”. To me the exterior of the QX looks odd but the interior and tech is much more “wow” than my LX. And I was shocked that the LX and QX are pretty much the same price. None of them ever off road. One guy with the QX tows a camper about the size of mine and he says it goes well.Sorry speyrod, but I have the same sentiment as others in regards to Nissan/Infinity products. From a marketing pamphlet perspective, they can match feature for feature, and potentially even check more boxes.
From a core competency and quality perspective, they're not in the same league as Toyota. People buy Nissans/Inifinitys much like they do Hyundai. Because of the value proposition. Yet LC/LX buyers are willing to spend more on the best because they value core strengths and quality, things that are harder to quantify, as much as features.
I hope no one else posts about Nissan in this thread. that company has serious quality and integrity issues and is not even close to being in Toyota's league.But you are looking at this as 100 % toward the LC/LX. The OP was also looking at a Sequoia and the QX is an alternative. 95% of the population doesn't use these vehicles to their capability. Nissan sells the same pink panty versions as Toyota in North America.
My understanding is the Patrol based QX (2018?) is entirely improved over the previous version. I don't have a lot of time in the seat of a QX only as rental cars for about 1 week. But the '18 I drove was a nice ride and tweener to the LX and Seq.
Toyota has a new Turbo V6/Hybrid which will be in the 2021 Tundra. It is likely to be in the LC and Sequoia. I definitely do not want a v6 with a hybrid. Someone else can have that.
The 4runner is okay, but a v6 just doesn't rumble....nor will the new turbo v6 hybrid. Not interested in the lexus model . I liked the 470 but it's gone.
So I'm trying to move into one of the Toyota SUV's that still has the 5.7. i really like this drivetrain (I have it in my Tundra).
a top of the line sequoia is 72k and the land cruiser is 88k. The Sequoia for price point will have value however I feel that value doesnt get you over the top, so just go with the lc200.
Worn bushings and leaking radiators? That's much worse than dead starters, leaking water pumps and.... leaking radiators.
I know you're being sarcastic, but I own 5 vehicles running the 5.7 with a cumulative milage of over 300k miles and non of them had any of the issues you mentioned. The only major problem was the alternator going out on my '07 Tundra after 6 years and 80k miles.
The probability of a patrol having the issues I mention above is significantly higher, and the bushings going out happens on all of them 100% of the time. There is a reason why the patrol doesn't hold it's value as well as the LC.
One of my buddies on Facebook was posting a low miles qx80 2015 for $24k. Wtf! That's a steal. No way land cruisers would get that low without 200k miles.I know you're being sarcastic, but I own 5 vehicles running the 5.7 with a cumulative milage of over 300k miles and non of them had any of the issues you mentioned.

Just an anecdote from an internet stranger: I have a neighbor/good friend who bought a Sequoia Platinum 6mos after I bought my LC. He swore he needed a BIG car because he's a BIG guy. He touted all the bells and whistles like the cupholders, auto tailgate, and power folding seats. Neither of us NEED a large 4wd SUV, he works from home and I have a 54mi commute everyday. His kids are grown and I only have one. I love my cruiser, I wash/detail it every weekend, have modified it to my liking, and it makes me smile every time I see it. He still has the Sequoia, it has been neglected since the first fender bender, has never been modified save for BFG KO2's, and it hasn't been washed or cleaned inside for minimum 6mos. He now constantly searches for LC's and regrets not pulling the trigger when he had the chance. Having an LC is special, hard to describe but you'll know it when you have one. Just my opinion but if was in the market to "upgrade my wife", a new LC would be a great choice. Good luck sir
