Interesting, nice that they use a trail to test. At the end they say that the IGs front diff overheated- but I can’t find a reference to that in the video itself? They did have a trouble engaging it- maybe that is what they are referring to? Considering that the test wasn’t long, I find it hard to believe that that it overheated.

I can live with this review. Impressed by the landcruiser.

I liked the video and the comparison too. Interesting that they found the stock tires on the Toyota inadequate.

Did you all notice the whiny PS pump on the Gren? You could hear it in many of the outside shots.

They said that because the front locker wouldn't engage and finally went into error mode.
If you look at the footage he hit the button about 10 times and i think it just decided to lock out stupid.
Rest of the review was ok but seemed to be a little bit biased towards the Land Cruiser that he owned and had modified.

I could hear the cooling fans more than a steering pump noise.
But then again I have never heard the steering pump noise

Posted last Friday, here is the thread

Grenadier vs L663 Defender vs the new Land Cruiser Prado

New video posted of Grenadier vs LR and Toyota. Haven't watched yet but the guy is in Washington and has his own test track plus we are surrounded by woods. It's about 80 mins long so pop some popcorn, pour your favorite adult beverage and enjoy. View...

For the life of my I can't figure out why he kept messing with the center diff off road. Just set it and forget it.

He could have also just left the rear locker in for most of that as well.
Then engaged the front when needed.

You’re just Krabby…. I heard it too. Sounds like a Panzer tanks turret traverse…that was a loud one. THe steering pump is really high pitched…
