'25 1958 Added to the family

[SCFAST]

Hello!
We recently added a '25 1958 to our family, After a lot of car shopping for my wife i was surprised and stoked that she decided on a 1958 trim (especially cross shopping the GX and land cruiser trims). This is her replacement of our '22 Bronco wildtrack sasquatch and Not new to the Toyota family having previously owned and built several 4runners an FJ and a GX.
Planning on a light duty build, skids, wheels and tires rock rails and probably call it good. Our 24 Ranger raptor is our primary for trails and camping but this will be our secondary build and look forward to kicking up some dirt!

Welcome to the Jungle!

How do you find it compares to the Ranger? I’ve been trying to compare a more normal trim Ranger to a higher trim LC for longer distance travel.

Congratulations and welcome. Sounds like your all set. I have been trying to talk my wife in to a LC but she loves her RAV4 Hybrid and won't part with it.

Not enough wheel time with the LC to say for sure but initial impressions are good, We love the ranger and is super comfy for log distances with more than enough room for us and our dogs and all the creature comforts, the land cruiser with its tall cabin feels much more spacious and the seats are comfy and suspension is plush on the LC (raptor is plush too with the suspension set normal or offroad) might be a toss up but they both have 2 different use cases for us depending on what we are doing and might end up being a wash when it comes to longer distance travel.
