    Need some help...I have a 2016 Land Cruiser with 26K

    I can buy a new black pro tomorrow

    Miss having a truck but love the luxury of the LC.

    LC is rare and so is Pro...both will run forever.

    Pro gives me a truck and much better towing (wheelbase primarily)

    My dogs love both a truck and the LC.

    Kids love the LC because of the movie screens.

    Both get shitty mileage.

    I don't offroad.

    I'm confused...help me here.

    please give me feedback either way.

    Pro and give the kids their own iPads with educational games > a movie.

    Throwing stuff in the bed and hosing it down is priceless but if you never haul, maybe stick with LC.

    Keep the LC. Buy a used 2nd Gen double cab if you need to haul stuff. They can be had for very reasonable prices.

    What do you miss about having a truck? What do you tow? Does the Land Cruiser fit your needs?
    A Land Cruiser is built to a standard, a very high standard. The Tundra is built to a price point. Feel the leather on the LC then go feel the leather on a Tundra. Look at the fit and finish of both, the LC will have much better fit and finish, panel gaps etc. Why not keep the LC and buy a used Tundra?

    I’d keep the LC and find a used 2nd Gen Tundra for towing. Test drive the TRD Pro before deciding though.

    LandCruiser without a doubt. A truck is a truck, but there's only one Cruiser. A Pro is a SR5... You would be downgrading MANY levels, and would consequently be not satisfied. I had 346k miles on my LC when I finally passed it on, and I still regret it.

    Agree with all this.

    The LC is ugly imo. They’re completely different vehicles.

    However, not sure why I would have either if never going offroad.
