A month in and I love this SUV!

It’s not a V8 like the older models, and yeah, it’s a bit pricey, but the more I drive it, the more I enjoy it. Definitely happy with the decision!

I really want one of these!

Another vehicle I can’t afford. Remember when $20k got you a nice car? Not that long ago!

My Land Cruiser cost $27k in 1991. They’ve always been pricey.

True, but if you compare $27k back then to today’s prices, it seems like a deal. Is it still running?

@Sayer
Yep, still running. But with inflation, that $27k is over $50k in today’s money—base model. Options added more.

Actually, inflation puts it closer to $62.5k today, which is about mid-spec for a new LC.

You can still get a Camry for under $30k. Land Cruisers have always been on the high end.

There are still $20k cars out there. What exactly are you comparing this to?

$20k back then is like $100k now, Grandpa.

It’s really just a bigger RAV4. Same basic hybrid system but worse MPG. You’re better off with a RAV4 for efficiency unless you need the extra size and capability.

Lol, I’m still driving my 2008 Solara with only 108k miles. No rush to upgrade!

That’s impressive. If you ever switch, a hybrid like the RAV4 would save you a lot on gas in the long run.

How’s it off-road?

Judging by the tires, I’m guessing it hasn’t seen any trails yet.

Lol, you’re right. I haven’t had a chance to take it off-road yet, but I’m looking forward to it.

These are amazing off-road!

Looks fantastic!

I’ve been driving a 2016 Prado this year. Honestly, I’m bored of it. :sob:
