New Land Cruiser

[Blue]

I don't know....just not feeling it. Especially at the price point. It does look like it would be fun to toss around on some trails.

20-inch wheels with the Z71 off road package? Negative

5.3L gas V8? Positive

355 HP & 383 lb-ft? Somewhat comparable but less than the GX550's 349 HP and 479 lb-ft.

Mileage quoted at 15 city / 20 highway / 17 combined for the Chevy vs. 15 / 21 / 17 so the same.

You can get the 6.2 as well which would be my choice. But yes it’s pricey and 20” wheels on an off road truck is nuts. I’d actually get the GMC AT4 version as I think it’s better looking inside and out.

The Tahoe/Yukon has gotten far too wide to seriously consider anywhere in the East. The GM small block sounds great until you read into lifter failures they’ve been having on trucks post Covid. FIL has a well optioned 2020 Sierra and it’s been constant problems. GM build quality now is a far cry from the old NBS trucks

Out of curiosity I looked it up. The Tahoe is 2” narrower than the GX550. As for lifter failures, it seems that if they fail it’s usually under the warranty period. I don’t hear of many failing after significant miles.

Damn, you're right. 83" vs 81" (no mirrors). 2013 LR4 is 75.4 no mirrors. I'm going to feel that extra 8". That's what she said.

Booted up GMC and I see the Yukon seems to be the Tahoe equivalent. The AT4 looks pretty good. Damn pricey, all of them for pretty good. The 6.2L motor is another $5k on top of ridiculous. Just not feeling it at all. They have one that starts at $100,750. Who's buying these things? The government (taxpayers)?

Yea it’s crazy but there are people buying 85k Ineos. Chomping at the bit for a 65k Tacoma. And dealers charging 85k for a Land Cruiser. Seems people just don’t care anymore.

I was just talking to a buddy over a beer about the GX. Told him I was ready to drop $75k on a car and my first house was only $140k. Nuts.
