Hey not all of us accountants are bad.


It is funny that they and GM crisscrossed on the axle. GM went from SRA to IRS a few years ago to give them parity with the Expedition and Navigator on rear interior space and ride.

If I had to choose between the Yukon/Tahoe or this, I'd pick the Yukon everyday, preferrably with the 6.2 or the diesel.

There aren't a lot of GM vehicles I'd buy, but I'd buy a full size SUV from them before any other mainstream brand

My favorite part of that is the $2500 worth of insurance you have to buy for the low, low price of....$2495. Such a deal!

That, and that you're paying $1595 for "Delivery, Processing and Handling Fee", yet still need a $500 Processing Charge--because apparently that's different than a fee.

Yes, dealer fees are complete BS. Let that be emphasized here so it'll be posted forever and people will read it.

The old one was at least VERY good at its job and stupid versatile, the interior does suck and is very cheap even for the era it first came out.....nevermind at the end of its run! Still it's very good at performing a job

For real? Not bad? I wouldn't expect a Toyota to cost this much even everything inflated. Now that I know how much it costs, it looks even worse. I forgot to say this... Steve didn't seem happy in that picture either. Lol

The new interior does suck too..it is very cheap, if not worse in some places. But it is masked a little bitter better to throw you off.

I personally never understood why people bought LC either. It's a Toyota after all. And I thought it was around how much the GX costed. Did it go up?

Land Cruiser are quite special. IMO. Interior build quality is higher quality than domestic Toyota SUVS. Higher end leather as well Land Cruiser was about $86K. And you get ultra big Toyota V8. Sometimes you just don't want the badge. Last gen Toyota Land Cruiser had the highest tow capacity of any Toyota/Lexus SUV by about 1100lbs. Only Toyota that towed more was the Tundra.

LOL, yeah not happy!

But $81K fully loaded, like I said a moderate option Wagoneer (not a Grand Wagoneer) at the Chrysler dealer was $81k...so thats just what a fullsized SUV like that costs...
