Not meaning to offend. I know how emotionally attached some are to their expensive tugs. .. I found this hilarious ... as is usual for his posts.
BTW, I found it on a Patrol forum where the poster had just test driven both an LC Sahara & the latest Ti L Patrol .. & rated the LC as superior .. a brave posting on a Patrol site I thought.
"Took both a LC300 Sahara and Y62 Ti-L for a drive today in Wodonga. The same route, LC first then Y62. First impressions; LC for the win.
If money wasn't an issue, the LC300 is far superior to the Y62. Yes the power, power delivery and sound is better in the Y62, but that is it.
The Ti-L and VX are now miles apart on price ($95k vs $125k), but the fit, finish, design, comfort, suspension and tech is better in the LC300 than Ti-L.
Driving the Y62 Ti-L against the LC300 Sahara is like driving the Pajero GLS against the Y62 Ti-L.
Series 6 or Y63, Nissan serious need to invest in the interior. The seats are terrible, the dash is the worst, stupid button/handbrake/dial locations, the tech is very old and don't get me started on the interior styling being based on a 1963 Mercedes.
I'll probably get the Ti-L as it's very hard to stomach the $30k difference"
Neil the comedian! Been playing around recently in 2019 Triton ute,and Pajero sport.Both good family cars,but don't even think about towing much more than a garden trailer.And we won't mention how poorly they grip the road in wet conditions,and how unpredictable they are in the wet.Unsafe,in my opinion.And I reckon that the Y62 is superior to the Land Cruiser,but you need a good bank account to cover the fuel bill.Just saying! Cheers
Going on the very limited actual driving info from LCOOL site. No way Hose` at the moment. Horribly expensive, big body roll and hard to get.
Hi Craig.Did you notice that they persist with the too-short wheelbase of 2850kg,but they have dropped the GVM by 70kg,to only 3280kg,and the GCM has also dropped 100kg,to only 6750kg? Talk about a sheep in wolf's clothing.Wonder what the rear axle capacity now is,but I will find out,and report back.Still,at least they're now up to 227kw (300HP),so only about 100HP behind the Y62.Cheers.
P.S.You've got to be joking? At only 1950kg,the rear axle carrying capacity always has been the LC's achilles heel,but with the LC300 that now has dropped to only 1930kg,or 100kg LESS than that of a Y62. Spare me.

Get with it. Toyota are far more expensive to drive. Especially when you take into consideration their very high purchase cost.
So how is it that people are paying more for used,but near-new,Toyotas than the vendor originally paid for the car? They don't depreciate at the rate that other models do,so your "high purchase cost" comment is invalid.As with most things in life,you get what you pay for.Cheers

All the more valid. Cost is high. Plenty of others that can do the same job at lower cost.

Neil.your arguement disintegrates when you cannot explain why a vehicle that you allege is "more expensive to drive" still attracts used-car buyers who are willing to pay in excess of $20,000 MORE than new price,just to get one.Must be a reason for this,and for the fact that there is a 6 month waiting list to buy a new LC79.Other makes are a "dime a dozen",and depreciate at alarming rates.Surely this would make them "expensive to drive"? Cheers

Not sure what this has to do with the LC300,but whatever.Bit pressed for time today,so I have highlighted a couple of salient points.As a family CAR they are certainly a nice vehicle,and great for poor tradies to tow their trailers,or Grandad to run a bit of rubbish to the tip.But when it comes to heavy stuff,forget it.Bent chassis.Cheer
P.S Your post is just an opinion.(Does that ring a bell?)
