    Old timers will tell you the best off-road vehicle is a horse or a mule.
  • @AlphaOmega333
    THANK YOU RYAN!!! We’ve all been waiting for this one.
  • @rightlanehog3151
    Ryan, If I remember correctly, your Land Cruiser was made 0:53 in Hino's Hamura plant which also built the FJ Cruiser and T100 while the GX was made in Toyota's Tahara plant. 😉
  • @2URLex
    Really great comparison video
  • @JTHigh11
    I know they are crossovers, but I'd love it if you did a comparison video like this between the Acura MDX and Honda Pilot. Keep up the great work. Your video production is A+. You are clearly one of the best car reviewers on Youtube.
  • @Ivan_1986
    Both look great, however I find GX550 to be pretty much perfect and do prefer the v6.
  • @sunchaser999
    I think you gotta go base GX overtrail if you’re approaching the 70k price point. Otherwise LC w/o premium is a sweet spot. Wait it out and add some deals then it’s looking much more desirable.
  • @rayandolina11
    Great comparison video! I’ve been waiting for this one. I got my GX OT+ about a week ago. Haven’t had a chance to take it on the trails yet but thoroughly impressed across-the-board. Couple little things I wish it had like the vents in the ceiling and a digital rearview mirror but overall very happy so far. The biggest advantage to the LC is the approach angle and underbody clearance as you pointed out. Beautiful and more than capable all around. Well done Toyota! Now off to take the GX to get its PPF!
  • @DCPEvo
    The 4 popper sounds like a tiny turbo diesel. Interesting. Kind of cool, I guess.
  • @LordBass
    I want a base LC with a manual and no hybrid. I know, I'll see myself out.
  • @thebeast9606
    The GX550 has Toyo Open County A/T3 tires, not Nitto Terra Grapplers.
  • @Schwabz33
    I definitely will be going with Lexus and doing modifications to enhance the appearance, but also the off-road capability ..excellent video. For my lifestyle road manners is a little bit more important to me than off road manners
  • @jaekimchi
    Personally would go for the Land Cruiser although when the GX gets the 4 cylinder hybrid then it might be the way to go.
  • @Armmani2000
    I gotta say I did not like how the new land cruiser looked in videos until I saw it in the dealership, its absolutely gorgeous, completely changed my mind, now I am a big fan!
  • @rostamr4096
    The crawl control in reverse on GX550 did it for me..that is freaking awsome
  • @GruulFleury
    Give me the LC base 1958 edition with the V6TT from the Lexus.
  • @Sertsch
    The Lexus is such a good looking vehicle. Thank you for the top content! Would it be possible to edit in metric when you mention important stats, for example mpg?
  • Here’s a more appropriate intro: If you’re considering buying a 2024 Land Cruiser or Lexus GX 550, you’re probably asking yourself, “Should I sell a kidney or rob a bank to pay for it?”
