The LX was actually the support vehicle in this test.

I'll take 2 Wrangler Unlimiteds @ $42K with twice the off-road capabilities and same 5/60 powertrain warranty over any plush, soft looking $84K Lexus LC anyday
LOL, no way I'd offroad in an $84K vehicle.

I read this earlier today. It was an entertaining read. I would love to have a Land Cruiser someday.

Agreed, no way would I off-road in a brand new vehicle worth what a house goes for in some cities. Although I would take an older, more "depreciated" Land Cruiser to hell and back, if I scratch or dent my 2001 Land Cruiser with 100k miles on it, oh well, part of the fun.

Fun comparo but a bit ridiculous. You could get 2 Jeeps for the LC or 3 Jeeps for the G-wagen. I'd still go for the LC, with a big 4.2 turbodiesel they've got huge range and loads more torque than the petrol V8.

The Land Cruiser was practically a sports car in the powder compared to the other two. The Toyota effortlessly gripped the ice- and slush-covered track, and it was the only vehicle of the three to avoid getting dumped into a snowbank—and it’s the vehicle that dragged the other two out. “It took a little bit of manhandling and Swedish flicking to make the Land Bruiser break free,” Lieberman said, “but once it did, we were all carving perfect Tanner Foust-style drifts.”
