It's all relative. It sure isn’t as efficient as a BMW X5 or Mercedes GLE, but those aren’t real body-on-framed, off road trucks. But compared to a G-Wagen or Range Rover, it actually looks pretty good.

If you're keeping it long term though, it is absolutely worth it. These things have crazy value and will run forever. Yes, while you’re not getting all the fancy tech of a BMW X7, you’re getting something that will crush down any car on the road, and will last.

The new V6 is a beast! It feels way more responsive than the old V8, is more powerful and gets better fuel economy. When I first heard about it, I was slightly skeptical, but once I drove it I am sold.

I think they've gone too far. The simplicity was part of the Land Cruiser’s appeal. It's now another over complicated luxury SUV that would be an absolute nightmare to fix in the middle of nowhere.

It's still a beast off-road. But Toyota hasn't cut anything that mattered, including ground clearance, approach angles, or low range gearing. It’s just more comfortable when you’re not rock crawling – but I wouldn’t trade it for a 4 Runner or a Cherokee.
