Default Re: Landcruiser vs MB GL vs Cayenne

Here are a few things to keep in minds.

I have a 2007 Tundra that is just awesome but it is huge. Obviously a plus and a minus
While the Tundra is huge, the Land Cruiser is slightly smaller than what most American people like in their cars offered in the United States. If you are a large adult, make sure you like the slightly smaller dimensions inside.

Example...elbow room is less that Sequoia or Tundra, rear seats are fixed on LC, 3rd row cannot be removed and cargo room is not very large. So if you have a large family, large dog, lots of cargo for your trips make you check out the inside.

But, I do have said combo to tow.
LC will tow your boat trailer no problem. Also, it will haul payload inside with no problems as the payload matches that of a DBL cab Tundra.

pluses and minuses

Finally. While the Land Cruiser is very reliabile...it also uses newer technology that can be very, very expensive to fix outside of warranty.

For example,

1. KDSS is not cheap to replace.
2. Nav/hvac/radio system is fully integrated into one unit. I have hear of 100 series Land Cruiser replacement hvac/radio/nav combos costing close to $6k for replacement.

Personally I would choose a Land Cruiser over everything, no because they make the most sense but because i have always liked them.

I hope this info helps. Good luck.
