Toyota is bringing back the Land Cruiser. It's a re-skinned and updated Prado, so it's smaller and less expensive. There are three versions, one with square headlights.

- The 2024 Land Cruiser exclusively features the i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, delivering 326 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque and expected to offer a combined 27 MPG
- rear differential locker, Multi-Terrain Select, Downhill Assist, Crawl Control, and a disconnectable front sway bar.
- Heated and air conditioned seats. The US model won't get the 3rd row but there are cupholders in the back for your dog I guess.

nb4: That's not a real Land Cruiser, muh n/a v8, battery reee, don't buy the first year of anything, buy American.

Looks cool but I have no interest in an electric/hybrid vehicle.

Lmao, why? Non plug in hybrids are bad ass.

Work in law enforcement. We always get called when there are stalled vehicle's on the roadway. Ran across a few that are hybrids that crapped out due to battery/electrical issues. From what I've gathered talking to the owners is a 7-10K fix on average. When they crap out they are essentially dead in the roadway as well. And your only option is call and wait on a tow. There are also a few other mechanical issues that can affect them which pretty much kill them.

From what I gather they offer the best of both worlds for battery/gas vehicles. But they also offer the worst of both worlds. The few people I've talked to that had issues with their hybrids said never again. You pretty much have to make sure the vehicle is always under warranty and trade it in before it ends.


Maybe Toyota has mastered the technology and the new Landcruiser will be problem free. But I'm not completely sold on on hybrids, not yet. With that said. If I were in the market for one it would probably be this vehicle. It looks badass and Toyota's are one of the more reliable manufacturers.



As far as electrics we get hurricanes where I live. We get hit hard and don't have power for however long and you're pretty much stranded. I get 500 miles to a tank in my GMC and have a few gas cans for storage. If a storm hits I can roll 1000 miles before I need to worry about finding a gas station or a place to 'charge' my vehicle.

Doesn't happen often but I've seen times when we are out of power for a week or two. No thnx Jeff. Don't want to be stranded.

Are they Toyota vehicles you are seeing on your calls? There are millions of hybrid Toyotas out there, and they typically last FOREVER.

Starting with the Prius over 20 years ago, Toyota has mastered Hybrids / PHV's and absolutely dominate the market. They have the best efficiency, reliability, and relative performance; and is why they have not felt the need to really go into the BEV market with its current battery technology limitations.

If / when they start offering PHV "Prime" versions of the Tacoma / 4Runner / LC, they will a RIDICULOUS amount of them.
