Almost identical, only similarities is the 4x4 is the same, GX is slightly bigger obviously.
Land cruiser is a 4cy single turbo with a hybrid
GX is a V6 twin turbo.
Im stuck on deciding if I want the extra payment for the extra luxury of the GX… tbh thats what I will prolly end up going with, but Ive been going back and forth for over a month.
Thanks for taking the time to write that

Yeah bro, my knowledge about those rides is out-dated. I didn't know the Cruiser is now hybrid. Used to be they were practically the same.

The Land Cruiser used to be (and maybe still is) the vehicle of choice in the middle-east desert countries. It's always been top dog to Range Rover and, lol, Jeep.

Took a quick look at specs... looks like they completely re-engineered the drive-trains. Yeah, gas mileage is a thing now.

Good luck bro, I wish I had better insight for you.

In your expert opinion (Mojo, I am impressed with your review, here), are they kind of equivalent if you are doing a fair amount of mileage, per year?

Buy an electric vehicle Iris. Gas is a thing of the past. Once you drive one, you'll never want a gas engine again. Incredible mileage on a charge, and you can "re-charge" at home over-night... No more gas stations.

Best of both worlds is a hybrid, dads corolla gets 60mpg and going on trips you dont have to plan for or stop long to recharge.

Yeah old ones were both a v8 NA, practically the same drivetrain through out.
If you could call low 20s high teens good gas mileage, lol. Only reason Im not factoring in the gas mileage because the only other thing I would buy is a diesel truck, and that would get the same mileage lol

If I remember correctly it used to be 13/15 on the gas mileage with the V8s. But man, they were beautiful beasts.

I agree. My previous vehicle was a plug-in hybrid. Definitely gas is superior for long trips. For me, I take a long trip by car maybe 5 or 6 times a year. Half of those to Vegas, and my full electric now can make it all the way. However, I do a minimum of 1.5k miles/month city driving. I get 360 miles from just around $20 in electricity. I used to pay almost $100 for that in gas for my V8.

It's not just about the gas... It's the smoothwr drive and instant acceleration. Once you get behind the wheel of one, you'll understand. I didn't believe it at all... Then I test drove one. Just stunned me.

By the way, the Corolla is a spectacular vehicle. They never disappoint. I'll bet your dad's car is worth more now than what he paid off the lot. It's one of those rare cars that doesn't lose it's value.

Yeah, not sure which "diesel" you're looking at, but sounds like you are Toyota Guys. My brother-in-law is a Toyota guy... will not consider anything but that or a Lexus. He leased a RX hybrid for my sister the previous year after she drove her Camry over 10 years. He kept the Camry for himself, sold his 20 year old Corolla. He was so sad to let that thing go,lol. He was just confused about the whole thing. What's with these Toyota Guys and their Corollas? Lol

Whatever you have cash for. Don't borrow money. Ever. Don't buy new unless you have a $1 million net worth. Don't own vehicles (cars, trucks, boats, jet skis, Rvs, four wheelers, motorcycles) with values that add up to more than 50% of your annual income.

Dave Ramsey advice, and it works

Hello cute-o,
Glad you are having a good time at home and, hopefully, feeling better.
I am sure this break is the right thing to do and that everyone here wishes you well.
Keep going and use this time to kick back and just be, without trying anything.

Thank you for giving us your news.
And thanks for the translation.
O M G
Lol, that poor man that got it...
I nearly had a fit.
Odd that I am brushing up on foreign languages on Meso, of all places, but we'll go with it...

A nice Monday to you and everyone there (number one, the big, white canine creature).
