77.7 -> Land Cruiser Unstoppable off-road
79.92 -> ability refined and Powerful drivetrain
81.96 -> high level of equipment
84.119 -> not so much Everest fiddly manual gear
86.7 -> shift buttons relatively High fuel
88.74 -> consumption limited rear seat space
91.56 -> Land Cruiser High purchase price
93.6 -> annoying ads intervention busy dashboard
96.24 -> layout
97.56 -> with its Step Up in size and the
99.479 -> addition of a smooth V6 diesel engine
101.4 -> does the Ford Everest now qualify as a
103.86 -> genuine alternative to the venerable
105.299 -> Toyota Land Cruiser
107.159 -> we lined up a top-of-the-range Everest
109.14 -> Platinum with a Land Cruiser Sahara to
111.06 -> find out
112.32 -> while they might now be closer in size
114.18 -> and engine displacement the cruiser is
116.34 -> still a far more costly
119.22 -> vehicle to purchase than the Everest
121.86 -> the LC 300 Sahara tested here starts at
125.06 -> 133 881 plus orc
129.179 -> and it's not even the top of the Range
131.039 -> model
132.12 -> the gr Sport and Sahara ZX models both
134.94 -> break the 140 000 mark
138.12 -> the Everest platinum on the other hand
140.04 -> can be had for 77
142.34 -> 535 plus orc so there's a lot of change
145.98 -> there that could sway the mind of any
147.66 -> potential buyer
149.22 -> enough change to fully kit your Ford up
151.44 -> with accessories and take an extended
153.12 -> trip with it
154.379 -> while Everest has stepped up in size it
156.66 -> is still not quite as big as Land
158.16 -> Cruiser
159.3 -> the Everest is only 6.6 centimeters
161.76 -> shorter than the LC 300 Bumper to Bumper
164.34 -> and when it comes to width there's only
166.08 -> a few millimeters separating the two
168.72 -> as is now the norm in the midsize and
170.64 -> large 4x4 wagon segments both of these
173.28 -> vehicles offer seven seats and when you
175.379 -> slide inside the Land Cruiser you'll
177.06 -> find 70 millimeters more shoulder room
178.92 -> in the second row seat and 30
180.78 -> millimeters more in the third row
183.18 -> the cruiser also offers more leg room in
185.459 -> the second and third rows but falls
187.14 -> short on space available behind the
188.94 -> third row
191.159 -> the lc300 cargo space with the third row
194.159 -> folded measures 1130 by 1200 and 50
198.48 -> millimeters but with the third row
201.78 -> in place leaves just 260 millimeters for
204.78 -> a small bag
206.159 -> Toyota quotes 1004 liters of cargo space
209.28 -> behind the second row and 175 liters
212.34 -> behind the third row Ford quotes 898
215.34 -> liters and 259 liters for the Everest's
218.64 -> cargo space which measures 1400
221.099 -> millimeters X 1100 millimeters its extra
224.819 -> length leaves you with a more usable 400
227.04 -> millimeters behind the third row while
229.14 -> the narrower body accounts for the lower
230.76 -> overall capacity
232.56 -> the third row seats are power folding in
234.84 -> both of these high spec models and only
236.58 -> the Ford's second row slides for and
238.5 -> after adjust leg room
240.299 -> even so the Cruiser has more second row
242.7 -> legroom while its driver's seat space is
244.56 -> infringed on by the extra wide console
247.319 -> powertrains
248.44 -> [Music]
250.08 -> the inclusion of the V6 engine in the
252.12 -> Everest is a major step up from the
253.92 -> four-cylinder in terms of capacity
255.599 -> performance and refinement
258.72 -> the Land Cruisers drop from av-8 to av6
261.359 -> engine might be considered a downgrade
263.1 -> by some but it actually offers improved
265.32 -> performance refinement and importantly
267.479 -> fuel economy
270.06 -> Ford's 3.0 liter single turbo diesel V6
273.66 -> makes acclaimed 186 kilowatts of power
276.419 -> and 600 newton meters of torque but is
278.94 -> outmussled by the Toyota's 3.3 liter
281.34 -> twin turbo that produces claimed power
283.259 -> and torque peaks of 220 7 kilowatts and
286.56 -> 700 newton meters
289.259 -> the Sahara's 200 odd kilos of extra
291.479 -> weight over the Platinum Reigns the
293.22 -> power and torque advantages back and
295.199 -> without lining the two cars up for a
297 -> drag race you'd be hard-pressed to pick
298.62 -> the quicker of them
300.199 -> fuel consumption wise the cruiser is
303 -> officially rated at 8.9 L 100 kilometer
306.06 -> and the Everest 8.5 L 100 kilometer
309.3 -> while out on test the cruiser used 12.1
311.94 -> l or 100 kilometer and the Ford 13.8 l
315.12 -> or 100k this heavier fuel used by the
318.54 -> Ford is in keeping with what we found in
320.34 -> the Ford Ranger with the same drivetrain
324.3 -> the Land Cruiser also wins the touring
326.4 -> range argument with its 110 liter tank
328.8 -> capacity compared to Everest's 80 liters
331.08 -> interestingly the lc300 has a smaller
334.139 -> fuel tank capacity than the models that
335.94 -> preceded it and even the product carries
337.979 -> more fuel than its biggest stablemate
341.28 -> both of the Ford and Toyota V6 engines
343.74 -> deliver smooth and refined performance
345.479 -> that be inline 4 and V8 engines of the
347.88 -> previous generations could never match
350.34 -> this is further aided by the Slick 10
352.32 -> speed automatic transmissions in each of
354.479 -> them
356.28 -> I can't find much to criticize about
358.199 -> either Transmission in terms of
359.759 -> performance but I much prefer the Toyota
361.74 -> shifter with its separate gate for 4 and
363.9 -> after manual shifting ahead of the
365.699 -> forward shifter which uses little
367.139 -> buttons on the side of the handle that
368.88 -> aren't as user-friendly
371.46 -> off-road performance
374.52 -> the Land Cruiser 300 uses the full-time
376.979 -> dual range 4x4 system with lockable
379.44 -> Center differential that has served the
381.12 -> nameplate so well since the 80 series
383.1 -> and it still does a great job
386.28 -> it's backed up in the 300 by a driver
388.319 -> selectable rear locker and a drive mode
390.419 -> selector with Auto Dirt sand mud snow
393.419 -> and rock modes
396.06 -> we found the LC 300 scroll Control
398.58 -> Function to be very effective when
400.38 -> negotiating tricky low-speed terrain
402.6 -> where the computer can apply tiny
404.28 -> amounts of throttle and manage the
405.66 -> torque transfer to get you over the
407.16 -> terrain
408.24 -> while crawl control is technology that
410.52 -> works and is useful I haven't found a
412.74 -> situation yet where I would use the
414.3 -> Cruiser's turn Control Function it's
416.039 -> more of a circus trick
418.199 -> the Everest uses a full-time dual range
420.419 -> 4x4 system with a more sophisticated
422.58 -> Center difference controlled by clutches
424.38 -> that can vary the drive front to rear
426.6 -> and lock up as required
428.46 -> like the cruiser it is backed up by a
430.5 -> driver selectable rear differential lock
432.3 -> and it has a multi-terrain system with
434.28 -> Eco normal sand slippery Tower Hall and
437.4 -> Mudder ruts driving modes
439.979 -> the Ford's Active Center differential
441.9 -> allows more significant Driveline
443.58 -> changes in each mode than the Toyota
445.139 -> does due to the way it can work
446.88 -> differently for each setting
449.039 -> but at least when you lock the Toyota's
451.259 -> Center difference you know that it is
452.639 -> locked 50 colon 50 and not being
454.74 -> controlled by a computer and this is
456.72 -> important when driving off-road and in
458.639 -> steep Terrain
460.62 -> much of the LC 300 chassis and
463.02 -> suspension setup and tuning were also
464.94 -> conducted in Australia by Australian
467.16 -> Engineers over a range of roads and
468.96 -> conditions
471.66 -> the Everest platinum's 21-inch wheels
474.12 -> and 45 series tires are less than ideal
476.639 -> for off-road use however you can option
478.56 -> this model with 18-inch wheels and tires
480.84 -> as fitted to the lower grades in the
482.699 -> range
483.84 -> surprisingly the 21s don't seem to have
486.479 -> a negative effect on the ride quality
488.22 -> which is something you would usually
489.72 -> associate with such low profile tires
492.599 -> this is Testament to the excellent job
494.639 -> that Ford Australia has done with tuning
496.919 -> the ride and handling of the T6 platform
498.9 -> on which the Everest is built
501.479 -> it must also be said that much of the LC
503.819 -> 300 chassis and suspension setup and
506.16 -> tuning were also conducted in Australia
508.199 -> by Australian Engineers over a range of
510.539 -> roads and conditions and this local
512.399 -> input shows in the way it handles and
514.44 -> performs on rough roads and corrugations
518.159 -> the Land Cruiser Sahara rides on more
520.32 -> sensible 18-inch alloy wheels wearing 65
522.959 -> section tires
524.52 -> the Sahara does not have a tire pressure
526.62 -> monitoring system while the Everest has
528.54 -> a very good TPMS that displays the
530.7 -> tire's pressures
531.959 -> safety
534.3 -> as Modern Family wagons both the Land
536.519 -> Cruiser and Everest are loaded with all
538.32 -> the latest safety Tech
541.38 -> this includes ABS electronic stability
543.899 -> control electronic brake Force
545.82 -> distribution Hill descent control
547.58 -> electronic traction control rollover
550.08 -> mitigation rear cross traffic alert Lane
552.66 -> keeping assist and warnings blind spot
554.94 -> monitors airbags that run through to the
557.1 -> third row seats 360 Degrees cameras
559.98 -> trailer sway control and autonomous
562.08 -> emergency braking both forward and
563.88 -> rearward
565.44 -> with its TPMS and the blind spot
567.6 -> monitor's ability to adapt to your
569.339 -> trailer when towing the Everest probably
571.26 -> exceeds the Sahara on safety features
573.3 -> but both are five-star rated
576.72 -> the Everest Lane keeping systems are
578.7 -> less intrusive than those on the Land
580.08 -> Cruiser too the Sahara reacts quite
582.24 -> violently when you wander in your lane
583.86 -> while it's Lane centering which comes on
585.899 -> when you use cruise control
588.06 -> it is annoying as it feels like it's
589.92 -> constantly fighting Your Hands on the
591.54 -> Wheel
592.5 -> a small gripe on what is an otherwise
594.48 -> well polished and well-equipped vehicle
597.3 -> on-road performance
600.18 -> Ford's V6 engine is more refined and
602.58 -> quieter but it doesn't lack in
603.899 -> performance
605.76 -> both of these vehicles are big wagons
607.74 -> but the cruiser really feels the bigger
609.6 -> of the two
610.68 -> it has that large Land Cruiser feel even
612.779 -> though it's not really that much bigger
614.279 -> than the Everest
616.74 -> the Toyota V6 engine displays more of a
619.32 -> diesel rattle without being noisy or
621.3 -> offensive and this adds to the big truck
623.1 -> feeling of the cruiser
624.839 -> the Toyota isn't as taut on its chassis
627.12 -> either and it wallows in a way that will
628.68 -> be familiar to any Land Cruiser owner
631.8 -> Ford's V6 engine is more refined and
634.2 -> quieter but it doesn't lack in
635.58 -> performance
636.779 -> you still know it's a diesel engine but
638.88 -> it puts out a very different sound to
640.5 -> the Toyota
642.54 -> as mentioned the Everest rides tighter
644.82 -> on its coil spring suspension and feels
646.92 -> more pinned and precise as a result
649.38 -> neither of these 4x4s could be called
651.72 -> sporty but the Ford would closer fit the
653.76 -> term than the Toyota
655.92 -> interior and equipment
659.04 -> both of these high-spec wagons are fully
661.079 -> loaded with comfort and convenience
662.519 -> features
664.62 -> the Sahara probably has the wood over
666.54 -> the titanium here thanks to its heated
668.519 -> and vented rear seats rear seat
670.32 -> entertainment system an ice box in the
672.48 -> center console among other extras but
674.7 -> there is a sizeable price difference
676.079 -> between the two as well
678.72 -> both wagons have power folding third row
681.18 -> seats and power tailgates Plus premium
683.339 -> sound systems
684.779 -> in the cruiser it's a JBL system
686.7 -> featuring 14 speakers while the Ford
689.04 -> features a Bang and Olufsen system with
691.019 -> 12 speakers they both have Apple carplay
693.959 -> and Android auto however only the
696.06 -> Everest allows you to hook up to these
697.68 -> wirelessly while the cruiser requires a
699.959 -> cable connection
702.06 -> these off-road capable wagons are luxury
704.24 -> 4x4s in every sense of the term
707.399 -> both of these wagons have a wireless
709.38 -> charging pad for compatible phones
713.76 -> the Ford's 12-inch portrait style a v
716.04 -> screen also trumps the 9-inch screen in
718.079 -> the cruiser and it's a similar story in
720 -> the gauge Pinnacle where the Sahara gets
721.86 -> a 4.2 inch TFT display and conventional
724.74 -> looking gauges while the Everest
726.48 -> Platinum has a configurable 12-inch
728.64 -> screen
729.6 -> that said the Toyota simpler gauge
731.82 -> design is easier to read than the Ford's
733.8 -> busy electronic screen
736.26 -> leather extended seats are standard on
738.42 -> all three rows however only the Saharas
740.64 -> are real leather and not synthetic
743.22 -> the front seats in both vehicles are
745.079 -> heated and ventilated
747.36 -> Toyota air conditioning is the best in
749.579 -> the business and the Land Cruiser Sahara
751.32 -> takes it to the max with a four zone
753.06 -> system with separate control for the
754.98 -> second row seats
756.6 -> the Everest Platinum gets a two-zone air
758.88 -> conditioner but also has controls in the
760.92 -> second row
762.06 -> both have vents running through to the
763.8 -> rear seat passengers
766.019 -> make no mistake these off-road capable
768.24 -> wagons are luxury 4x4s in every sense of
771 -> the term
772.62 -> verdict
774.779 -> the Land Cruiser and Everest are very
776.639 -> similar in size design and execution but
779.339 -> they do their thing in slightly
780.6 -> different ways
782.7 -> the cruiser maintains its big rig
784.56 -> feeling while the Everest feels nimbler
787.079 -> they both do the seven-seater thing well
789.12 -> and are capable off-roaders in standard
791.04 -> trim with plenty of kit available for
792.959 -> them should you want to boost that
794.339 -> capability
796.86 -> both of these big wagons offer a 3500
799.92 -> kilograms towing capacity and they will
802.019 -> haul that load better than any of the
803.7 -> popular double cab Utes
805.68 -> the payloads are neck and neck while the
807.54 -> cruiser range has the higher GCM even
809.519 -> though that is eaten into a bit with the
811.139 -> vehicle's higher weight
813.66 -> the big difference between the two
815.22 -> vehicles is the price and the 56
818.18 -> 346 disparity between the two will be
821.16 -> the deciding factor for many potential
823.2 -> buyers
824.519 -> if your budget maxes out at eighty
826.56 -> thousand dollars then there
828.26 -> decision has been made for you and it
830.7 -> wouldn't be a bad call
832.32 -> you couldn't even buy a new base model
834.18 -> GX Land Cruiser for that money
837 -> even if you did have one hundred
838.62 -> thousand dollars or more to spend then
840.66 -> the money saved by buying the Everest
842.279 -> Platinum would more than kit out your
843.72 -> rig and take you on a lap of the country
845.459 -> hitting all the bucket list off-road
847.56 -> destinations
850.86 -> if the Land Cruiser was priced at one
852.899 -> hundred thousand dollars it would be a
854.459 -> closer battle but as it stands the
856.019 -> Everest Platinum fitted with the
857.639 -> optional 18s takes this title fight
