00:00:00
hey everyone it's Ben Hardy here and in
00:00:01
today's going be comparing the 1958 Land
00:00:03
Cruiser to the SR5 4Runner we're
00:00:05
basically comparing base model to base
00:00:06
model to see which one is best before we
00:00:09
get this video I want to give a huge
00:00:10
shout out and thank you to the orm to
00:00:11
for giving me some time with both the
00:00:12
cars oncl a link to the website in the
00:00:14
description down below also incl link to
00:00:15
my carbine guide let's get into
00:00:19
[Music]
00:00:28
it ping the for is a turbo 2.4 L 4
00:00:31
cylinder that goes through an 8-speed
00:00:32
automatic transmission fuel economies 19
00:00:35
around town 25 on the highway with power
00:00:37
puts being 278 horsepower and then 317
00:00:39
pound feet torque you can also get this
00:00:41
with the hybrid
00:00:42
24 now ping the Land Cruiser is only one
00:00:45
power Trin it's the hybrid 2.4 L 4
00:00:47
cylinder that goes through an 8-speed
00:00:49
fuel economy 22 around town 25 on the
00:00:51
highway with power outputs being 326
00:00:54
horsepound and 465 lb F of torque
00:01:01
now before we move forward with this
00:01:02
comparison I do want to mention if you
00:01:03
want to see more videos just like this
00:01:04
then I recommend you subscribe because I
00:01:05
post content every single day so taking
00:01:08
a look at the 4Runner this has basically
00:01:10
the same front end as the Tacoma so
00:01:12
you've got the fog lights there at the
00:01:13
bottom you got the more angular
00:01:15
headlight design you guys can see with
00:01:17
the big air dam there at the bottom
00:01:18
easily to remove that the 1958 right
00:01:22
more retro with the design you got the
00:01:23
circular headlights lots of unpainted
00:01:25
elements there at the bottom funny that
00:01:28
it's a more expensive vehicle but then
00:01:29
has more more exposed plastic but
00:01:31
anyways uh you do have actually some air
00:01:32
dams they're just a lot smaller compared
00:01:34
to the 4Runner yeah you've got like boxy
00:01:36
versus angular with the design
00:01:37
comparison now Tak a look at the side of
00:01:39
the forer you guys can see we've got
00:01:40
these big chunky fender flares unpainted
00:01:43
similar to like a Tacoma TIY off-road
00:01:46
17in wheels on the 4er if you upgrade to
00:01:48
the hybrid they'll throw 18s on it they
00:01:51
even throw 18s on like a tierd off-road
00:01:53
for example you've got the fixed side
00:01:56
steps with it you've got the cool glass
00:01:58
there on the back that kind of Curves up
00:02:00
this one's got the crossbars and
00:02:01
everything but there's your side there
00:02:03
now again the Land Cruiser has that boxy
00:02:05
design uh you've got 18-inch wheels on
00:02:07
the Land Cruiser big chunky fender
00:02:09
flares you guys can see the kind of like
00:02:11
clading there on the side uh but
00:02:14
everything's like more squ off I mean
00:02:15
look even the Mir cap is a square so
00:02:17
that's like a big difference now one big
00:02:20
benefit about the 4Runner is you can get
00:02:21
a third row in the 4Runner obviously
00:02:24
there's not a lot of storage space
00:02:25
behind the third row but you can get it
00:02:27
with three row seating you can do two
00:02:28
row seating as well the Land Cruiser
00:02:31
does not have that available in the US
00:02:33
market if you want the Land Cruiser
00:02:35
vehicle with the third row you have to
00:02:37
do the Lexus
00:02:39
GX um but anyways see an outlet there in
00:02:41
the back again the Hybrid battery that
00:02:44
is standard does take up space But if
00:02:46
you get a forner with a hybrid you're
00:02:47
going to have the same uh situation same
00:02:49
problem whatever you want to call it but
00:02:51
yeah there's the cargo area and then
00:02:52
they're both manual actually for the
00:02:55
hatches funny enough so you got to do
00:02:57
that all by yourself The Foreigner
00:02:59
obviously has these two buttons to lower
00:03:00
down the rear glass which is a cool
00:03:02
feature the Land Cruiser has this button
00:03:05
which is just a manual popper so both of
00:03:07
them have rear glass that you can open
00:03:09
it's just that again land Cruis is
00:03:11
manual The Foreigner is power which is
00:03:13
weird cuz you think the be the opposite
00:03:16
anyways uh with the bumpers this is
00:03:18
something that's interesting look at the
00:03:19
4Runner how you've got the painted
00:03:20
sections on either side where is the
00:03:22
Land Cruisers completely
00:03:24
unpainted but there's the rear with both
00:03:27
them you guys can kind of see the height
00:03:29
they're both uh pretty similar in terms
00:03:30
of the height now let's see this inside
00:03:31
of the Land Cruiser which interestingly
00:03:33
enough exposed plastic there on the door
00:03:35
panel uh I really do like the seats in
00:03:38
the Land Cruiser they have this like
00:03:39
premium yet like rugged durable feel to
00:03:42
them you do have your own climate zone
00:03:43
here in the rear some USB ports as well
00:03:45
leg rooms really good in the Land
00:03:46
Cruiser Headroom is also great because
00:03:48
of that boxy design but I do think that
00:03:50
these seats are a huge plus with the
00:03:53
Land Cruiser now with the 4Runner you
00:03:55
actually get padding here on the door
00:03:57
panel so that's more premium
00:03:59
surprisingly the seats are still kind of
00:04:01
rugged feeling they're not quite as
00:04:02
premium feeling as the Land Cruiser
00:04:03
cloth but they are still really nice you
00:04:06
do get some vents here on the back uh
00:04:08
the room seems to be similar but also
00:04:10
just a little bit more cramped and I
00:04:12
think that's just the design of the car
00:04:13
but it's not bad at all now le this up
00:04:16
front with the Land Cruiser again it's
00:04:17
just all hard touch plastic you do get
00:04:19
some nice controls here that are very
00:04:21
Lexus like uh the windows power fold in
00:04:23
or the windows the mirrors powerfold in
00:04:26
brain fart there I'll leave that in
00:04:27
anyways blind spot Hing with the mirrors
00:04:29
we'll compare the payloads so 1100 here
00:04:31
at the L Cruiser again you've got like
00:04:33
that premium cloth with the seats they
00:04:36
are manually adjustable trailer brake
00:04:38
controls here on the side with the Land
00:04:40
Cruiser and then popping
00:04:43
in kind of like a nice solid relatively
00:04:46
solid sound full digital well mostly
00:04:49
digital gauge cluster here in the Land
00:04:51
Cruiser and look at the theme of the
00:04:52
gauge cluster and then notice the trim
00:04:54
here on the steering wheel it's very
00:04:56
premium looking very kind of like Lexus
00:04:58
like and that's the theme of the
00:04:59
interior I mean even the
00:05:01
controls you know adap cruise control
00:05:03
Lane centering and all of that but just
00:05:05
the finish on them um this does have a
00:05:08
backup
00:05:09
camera and then Toy's new infotainment
00:05:11
system and then we have dual zone
00:05:13
climate up front heated seats and heated
00:05:15
steering wheel you also have your drive
00:05:17
mode select uh this does have crawl
00:05:19
control and then we do have a full-time
00:05:23
four-wheel drive system two-speed
00:05:24
transfer case they also have a center
00:05:26
and a rear locking differential with
00:05:28
this stability control OB so you can
00:05:30
turn the on or off there and I look at
00:05:31
even the shifter kind of has a more
00:05:33
premium look to it and then like the
00:05:34
trim on the center console here at the
00:05:37
Land
00:05:38
Cruiser uh the dash is all just
00:05:40
plasticky uh and then just a regular
00:05:42
mirror and then no Center for anything
00:05:44
like that and this one is equipped wow
00:05:47
uh this one is equipped stickers for
00:05:48
about
00:05:49
$59,000 so you got to pay to play right
00:05:53
for the L Cruiser name now with the
00:05:55
4Runner again you've got the soft touch
00:05:56
here on the armrest uh window controls
00:05:58
are actually pretty much the same same
00:06:00
get your mirror adjustment we've got
00:06:02
blind sping with the mirrors uh payload
00:06:04
is 1,160 so actually more payload and
00:06:07
then again with the cloth seats they're
00:06:08
very kind of like rugged feeling but
00:06:10
they're not quite as nice feeling as the
00:06:11
Land Cruiser got stability control right
00:06:13
there getting in just as easy as Land
00:06:17
Cruiser door sounds a little bit less
00:06:19
solid than Land Cruiser but it's not a
00:06:20
huge
00:06:22
difference and then gauge cluster kind
00:06:25
of has more of like an analog type look
00:06:27
even though it's still digital like L
00:06:30
Cruiser and then you'll notice here all
00:06:32
the controls here on the steering wheel
00:06:33
are kind of like chunkier with the
00:06:34
buttons and look at the steering wheel
00:06:35
itself with the perforated trim on
00:06:38
either side it just has kind of more
00:06:40
rugged look in general and then we do
00:06:43
have backup camera here uh just single
00:06:47
zone climate in the 4Runner and then
00:06:49
you'll notice that uh we have you know
00:06:51
parking brake Auto holds uh but yeah
00:06:52
just regular drive mode like toal mode
00:06:54
so no crawl control in this package on
00:06:56
the 4Runner just a regular two-speed
00:06:58
transfer case you don't have of the
00:07:00
full-time four-wheel drive like in the
00:07:01
Land Cruiser and then you got some
00:07:03
storage here center console again the
00:07:06
trim here just it doesn't feel bad it's
00:07:07
just not as premium I do like the
00:07:09
storage on the dash there which is nice
00:07:12
and then this is to open up the window I
00:07:13
will say this doesn't feel like it feels
00:07:15
more closed off because the windshield
00:07:17
is uh at a kind of more aggressive angle
00:07:20
I mean you can see the L Cruiser like
00:07:21
the windshield's not fully U right but
00:07:23
it's a lot more upright than the 4Runner
00:07:25
here so it just feels a little more
00:07:26
cramped in this section U but anyways
00:07:28
this one stickers for
00:07:30
$47,000 so that thing is over $10,000
00:07:34
more expensive that is crazy $122,000
00:07:37
more
00:07:39
wow so with that being said I already
00:07:41
posted a comparison with a more loaded
00:07:44
up Land Cruiser against the 4Runner
00:07:46
tierd Offroad um and because this
00:07:48
particular 4Runner is sold we're not
00:07:50
going to be able to take it out and do
00:07:50
like a drive or anything like that but I
00:07:52
have driven the new forer a little bit
00:07:54
and I own a Land Cruiser so I just want
00:07:56
to give you guys my thoughts so this is
00:07:57
not a perfect comparison that 4Runner
00:07:59
would need to be like an SR5 premium to
00:08:03
be similar to The Land Cruiser in terms
00:08:05
of options which would raise the price
00:08:07
and then it also need to be a hybrid as
00:08:09
well if you add all of that you're going
00:08:10
to be over
00:08:11
$50,000 if memory serves me correct I
00:08:13
need to play in the configurator a
00:08:15
little bit more uh to be honest so I can
00:08:17
give you guys more accurate numbers uh
00:08:19
but with that being said I think that a
00:08:21
really good way to kind of boil this
00:08:23
down is the new 4Runner basically just
00:08:25
feels like a Tacoma SUV whereas the
00:08:27
previous gen 4Runner felt like its own
00:08:29
unique
00:08:30
vehicle the new Land Cruiser feels like
00:08:32
it's own unique vehicle so I almost
00:08:34
think that like the new Land Cruiser is
00:08:36
kind of like the real I guess Spirit
00:08:39
child whatever you want to call it of
00:08:41
the previous gen 4Runner and this is
00:08:43
like a whole new vehicle I know that a
00:08:45
lot of people will disagree with me on
00:08:47
that but that's kind of what it feels
00:08:48
like because of the more premium build
00:08:50
the materials and everything with the
00:08:52
land Cruis and again this is this is a
00:08:53
nice well-built vehicle it just doesn't
00:08:55
feel quite as solid as the Land Cruiser
00:08:58
and again the material materials just
00:08:59
aren't as premium and so it's like the
00:09:02
Better Built more premium field that you
00:09:03
got the previous gen 4un compared to
00:09:05
Tacoma you now get in the Land Cruiser
00:09:07
so that's kind of my two cents is that's
00:09:10
a new vehicle that's kind of like the
00:09:14
real descendant of the previous gen the
00:09:17
fifth gen 4Runner
00:09:20
