The real reason Hardy is selling the LC 250 is he would only get half of that for the 200 or Grenadier. 
Interesting philosophy for why selling the LC250

I agree. Both are dweebs..
You can click on those three little vertical dots in the upper right of the video, and tell YouTube ‘Do not to recommend channel’.
Using that tard idots name, Hardy, is getting him more clicks. More points, more adverting links and yes when its all said and done, mmo money, mo money.

What's a socker Mom.
Her day may begin at 6 or 7 in the morning, preparing breakfast for the children. She ferries them off to school in a minivan or SUV and perhaps uses a call list to announce a rescheduled game or remind other parents about a PTA meeting. After school, she picks up kids from one or more schools and drops them off to do various activities, including soccer. On weekends she brings kids to games, prepares snacks and cheers her children on. This is the traditional soccer mom.
This term came into use in the 1990s, as a means of describing a group of mothers who might not work outside the home. Of course there are exceptions. Many soccer moms work from their homes, or hold full-time jobs. In addition to the duties listed above, the mom is associated with political groups and alliances and has been used as a term to describe the voting demographic of stay at home moms.
Most often the soccer mom may be parenting young children, while her husband or partner earns their single income. She is usually college educated, Caucasian, and relies on a middle class or greater income made by her partner. The term "soccer mom"has also been used in a negative sense to suggest that the these women are less than sympathetic toward working moms, and have little to do besides being the transportation method for her kids.
In actuality, there’s very little truth to the concept that mothers who parent their children full time are not working. Some studies suggest that stay-at-home moms may work the equivalent of two and a half full time jobs. Yet the term "soccer mom" may be slung as an insult to suggest a stay-at-home’s mom lack of sympathy with working mothers, or rigid political ideals.
The soccer mom seems to reflect, at least in the US, national voting trends. A shift from Democratic to Republican presidents was a national shift, and both elections for President Bush were close ones. These moms are by no means either all conservative or all liberal, but tend to be a good sample of the split-voting group represented by Americans. In Canada, this figure or "hockey mom" is thought more liberal, or less associated with being a political group or voting force.
In a sense the term "soccer mom" is an overgeneralization of what mothers do. Working moms are also responsible for getting kids to school, to games and to other activities, and they may be equally involved in schools or volunteer work. Moms in general, not just soccer moms, are important from a political standpoint, and the wise politician knows that appealing to this audience is valuable.

These idiots flip cars, lease, borrow, get loaners. Its a deceptive crooked industry. Low end marketing.The real reason Hardy is selling the LC 250 is he would only get half of that for the 200 or Grenadier.
Very few can get a real job if their life depended on it.
Overlanding to the max effort and height of stupidity.
Overreviewing and overlieing. Anything to get more click's.
Yea, that made no sense!. Several things. He can move some weight. There is one out of place video of the dude squatting / deadlifting serious weight, but I hear you.
Next, not sure how many actually watched from 7:45 on, but the reason he is selling is because the 250 is amazing. "German-like....Mercedes level " in its ability to perform so well...off-road and on, and in every way. So much so, that it has no soul.
lol. I don’t even know all these stories for classifying people. I only respond as a joke in the beginning about people who cares too much of their stereo type (gender reassignment / testosterone… whatever ) . I do have multiple friends from outside US asking me what is it with Americans always upsize the tires of their vehicles? It’s not like they actually do rock climbing their own.
Every time when I go out to run marathons, I always find these bulky “manly” military men falling behind because they carry too much muscle on their endurance run. It’s all about the right configuration for the right job. Same thing for cars. A light duty truck is meant to be practical. Even US Army understands this and try to improve the efficiency and drop unnecessary weight to the vehicles so they can operate longer with less fuel.
Happy Holidays
This thread got a little weird. No one in particular's fault. It just went in some odd directions.
I will post a write up on why we all are or about to own and drive Socker Mom Mobiles. SMMs.
Not targeting anyone just a statement of reality vs. allot of hype and neuvo thinking.

Didn't watch it, but I love that review. The car is exactly what I was looking for. Nice off roader that over performs around town, and I escape having to pay $15K for new brakes on a Land Rover every 7500 miles.

Merry Christmas to everyone!
I only posted the video because the guy's reasoning for selling was so funny. The vehicle was really perfect, no real complaints......so sell it.

Weight lifting with bad form. No thanks. The dude is going to eff-up his back. And he's apparently going to keep the LC for another 4,000 to 9,000 miles, according to the end of the video. Weird AF.

Yeah, it always gets weird and pointless when someone posts their personal/political views in an attempt to be funny, then someone attempts to call the out on it.
Many 'topic' forums I belong to would have issued warnings for that so it doesn't stray into controversy, and that works really well. We all get enough of that crap in the real world. We try to escape it for a while by talking about our interests and hobbies in these forums, but there are always those people who feel the need to be heard, not matter the time or place.
If you want a forum to thrive, the mods need to clamp-down on off-topic rhetoric. Keep it neutral for everyone's sake.
I agree. Both these youtuber dudes are annoying and the sky is always falling. Yes, the USA goes big on everything. Its just what we do. The Canadians have a lot of catching up to do including making their syrup bottles more man-sized.... all in jest...
“The car I bought is so good at the things it’s meant to do that I am getting rid of it” is a really wild take. Must be difficult to find life satisfaction.
I can attest that in my experience the 250 is incredibly capable and super user friendly off road, in addition to being a good looking and functional daily driver.
Beyond that, the YouTube ecosystem of these reviewers is just bizarre to me.

It's kind of like folks who say the music or musician is so good that they (the faux arbiters of taste who pretend to have exclusive insights into what is actually good) have to make up a reason not to like it. And in the clickbait era, where someone can post the same fake pensive photo next to the latest garbage headline day after day you are apparently guaranteed to have 500k clueless subscribers.

Making money off of youtube views has been around long enough that I'm really surprised when non-youtubers don't get it.
Car-based Youtubers do not "own" cars for the reasons that normal people own them. They own them as long as they provide content and generate views, and once they slow down on both of those things, they sell them. Bottom line is if a vehicle is not generating those two metrics, the Youtuber does not make any money. You can argue whether being a Youtuber is a valuable profession all you want, but you can't argue that a profession that doesn't make money will not put food on the table.
There were probably a decent amount of "views" to be found back in May 2024 to be the first Youtuber to buy a 250. And now there's probably a decent amount of "views" to be a Youtuber that makes a video about selling their 250. The new Land Cruiser has been around long enough where videos just covering day-to-day things with the vehicle probably do not generate many views, so it's time to move on and onto something else that does.
Some youtubers have talked about the behind the scenes takes on this. Andrew St. Pierre White (4xOverland) does vehicle builds on 70-series that generate a bunch of views, but when he actually starts taking them on overlanding trips throughout Australia and Africa, videos covering those trips do not generate nearly as many views. So he's forced to flip his Land Cruisers ever few years to keep the views coming with new vehicle builds.
