Japan vs UK: Who builds the best truck?

Our merch shop is now LIVE:

It's time for an off-road head-to-head between Land Rover and Toyota!

We have actually got our hands on the Arctic Trucks Toyota Land Cruiser AT37, and it's taking on the Arctic Trucks Land Rover Protector 110 AT35.

The two are going head-to-head over a series of difficulties on an off-road course to see which of the two is the very best off-road! But how will they compare? Let's take a more detailed look at the stats.

The AT37 is based upon the Toyota Land Cruiser 250, so it features a 2.8-litre 4-cylinder turbo diesel motor that produces 205hp and 500Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels through a 8-speed auto, and it weighs 2,500 kg. It comes with numerous adjustments, including 37" all-terrain tires, optimised and elevated Arctic Trucks R53 2-way adjustable efficiency suspension, and finally, substantial work to the frame, body, bodywork and more. All in, the car the and the upgrades cost ₤ 113,839.

Then when it concerns the AT35 Land Rover Protector 110. It's based on the current Land Rover Defender 110 and is powered by a 3.0-litre-6-cylinder diesel engine that produces 300hp and 650nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels through an 8-speed auto, and it weighs 2,541 kg. It features numerous modifications, including created 20×10" ET-25 Arctic Trucks dual-valve alloy wheels dressed in 35" all-terrain tires, upgraded adjustable efficiency suspension and broadened Arctic Trucks fender flares. All in the vehicle and the upgrades cost ₤ 100,484.

Both cars also come with low variety mode but the concern is, which one will take the win? Could it be the more effective Land Rover? Or will it be the less effective however lighter Toyota Land Cruiser? You'll need to stick to Mat, Sam and Graham to find out!

      ⁠@modelrailwaynoob in the era of shorts , reels , TikTok etc , reduced attention span is a global problem. Back to your comment , who said it is YouTuber’s problem or anyone else’s for that matter? You are either ill mannered or just stupid . I am admiring Matt (who I have been watching since he was working for another company and since he had less than a million subscribers) , the guy’s videos are literally used by websites and other YouTube channels as reference. What is your problem ?

      ​@dovey-48its not even a hilux, top end hilux is as good as Land Cuiser commercial Pickup. I know because i own both in a fleet. Them and Dmax.

      @spitthefurious

      ​@firecatinfernus3534actually you have no idea what you are talking about. This has the same frame as the LC300. The big difference between this and a proper LC is the engine and some of the tech.

      ​​​@spitthefurious are you stupid or did you not understand what I said. I replied to a comment saying the Prado was a Hilux with plastic surgery. That’s the fortuner. They’re both on the same frame. The Prado has a different frame. I know exactly what I’m saying. Read before coming to conclusions.

      Comparing a Land Rover to a Land Cruiser is like comparing a lady’s handbag to a shovel — one’s for show, the other’s for real work

      You take a Land Rover out for adventure — and a Land Cruiser out for the rescue.

    Overall, the Land Cruiser is an incredible SUV that will continue to function well after 20 years thanks to Toyota’s dependability and endurance.

    Not watched yet but having owned several land rovers and still owning a 1999 land cruiser Amazon with 80,000 miles on the clock I can say the cruiser is extremely reliable and easy to work on. As the Aussies used to say “If you want to go into the outback take land rover, if you want to make it back take a land cruiser.”.

    1. @fredbrackely Avatar
      @fredbrackely

      Blah blah blah. Still owing a 2010 LR4 V8 with 174,000 miles on the clock, having owned a 200 series LC, I can say the LR has been totally reliable (but don’t follow LR service intervals, they are Bull_S.) The new saying is if you want to go into the outback take a LR, and if you don’t want your shell bearing to fail and seize your engine, stay in the LR.

      @paulelledge8977

      ​@fredbrackelyYeah people love to say they had an old land rover and an old land cruiser and blah blah blah. New land rovers have been great, especially the defender, while Toyota has had massive problems with their new motors.

    Went off-roading in Dubai — our Land Rover got stuck halfway up a dune. The driver was a proper experienced off-roader too. A Land Cruiser came and pulled us out like it was nothing. If I ever buy an off-roader, I know what I’m going for.
