In this episode, Savagegeese finally gets their hands on the highly-anticipated 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser. Despite attending the launch event, they faced limitations that delayed the video release. The base model boasts cloth seats, manual adjustments, and a lack of premium features, while higher trims offer luxuries like JBL audio and leather seats. Positioned between the 4Runner and Lexus GX, the Land Cruiser shares architecture, providing a unique blend of capabilities. The interior impresses with comfortable seating, ample cargo space, and user-friendly physical controls, making it a practical choice for daily use.

Moving on to the Land Cruiser's performance, it features a 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that delivers smooth power and decent fuel efficiency. The full-time four-wheel-drive system with a Torsen lockable center differential ensures capable off-road performance. The base trim level, made in Japan, stands out as the most straightforward and reliable option. On the road, the Land Cruiser shines with refined driving dynamics, offering a quiet and comfortable experience. The team praises Toyota's dedication to quality and reliability in the Land Cruiser, emphasizing its potential for long-term ownership and enjoyment.

As they delve deeper into the Land Cruiser's features, Savagegeese highlights the 1938 Edition as an affordable variant that prioritizes simplicity and functionality. With physical controls and a minimalistic gauge cluster, this trim level offers a no-frills approach to off-road capability. The team commends Toyota's focus on durability and longevity, expressing confidence in the Land Cruiser's ability to uphold the brand's reputation for reliability. Overall, the Land Cruiser emerges as a versatile and dependable choice in the competitive SUV market, appealing to enthusiasts seeking a blend of performance, comfort, and off-road prowess.
