TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class may not look different than its predecessor, but its new suspension and interior bring it into the 21st century. Finally.

The 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser’s go-anywhere capability makes it a cult favorite, but most buyers are better suited to rivals.

TCC Likes

Classic look retained
Almost certainly better on road
Updated, roomier interior

The myth, the truck, the legend
Will climb over anything
Ample power

TCC Dislikes

Is it too derivative?
Independent front suspension may dillute off-road ability
Only one off-road mode

Guzzles fuel
Very expensive
Guzzles fuel
