2025 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro vs Lexus GX550 vs Land Cruiser - Civil War!

Hi guys, and welcome back to Petrolhead Podcasts. Toyota has recently completed a comprehensive overhaul of its entire truck and offroader lineup with all-new versions of the 4Runner, Land Cruiser, Sequoia, Tundra, Tacoma and Lexus GX and LX all having launched within the past few years. However, with all of these new generation vehicles riding on the same TNGA-F platform and sharing key technologies, it has created a lot of overlap in the lineup. In particular, the three midsized offroaders, the 4Runner, Land Cruiser, and Lexus GX, all seem similarly sized and targeted towards a similar buying demographic. So among the three, which is the best choice to buy? Join me as I go through an in-depth comparison to give you the answer. Today, we will be comparing three off-road oriented versions around the 70K price point, namely the 2025 4Runner TRD Pro, which has a starting MSRP of $68,350, the 2025 Land Cruiser equipped with two key options in the Premium Package and Stabilizer Bar Disconnect, with a starting MSRP of $68,770, and finally, we have the 2025 Lexus GX550 Overtrail, which has a starting MSRP of $72,930.
