FLEX —Why Are Landcruisers #1. Does A Comparable SUV Exist?

About this episode

The episode discusses the superiority of Land Cruisers and whether any comparable SUVs exist.

John Valoria from FLEX motors (@Flex.motor_us) joins the podcast along with mainstay Dylan to talk “refreshed” Land Cruisers. Flex San Diego is the U.S. flagship store, that is your one stop shop for JDM imports and refreshed Off-roaders. The overbuilt Land Cruiser is their bread and butter and we discuss why it’s so good and not comparable to the new one. Is there even a competitor to the Land Cruisers out there?
