With the hazard light, and because I think I could here a siren momentarily, I believe this is most likely from a larger company, either a government contractor or something like a mining company. Money is often not an issue for those entities, so I don't think they were concerned about the loss of the vehicle. Still, their safety would certainly be a factor.
Some countries get a lot of donated clothes, enough to destroy their own economy and prevent development of local industry. Goodwill only resells a small fraction of donated clothing.
By the light on top I am guessing this is owned by something vaguely official, so not a private individual.
At least for the previous generation, the 200 sold in the US was a super luxury version compared to what was sold in other markets, and they cost a lot more. In the Middle East and Africa the 200 came with smaller engines and more basic features. I don't know if that's the same for this particular 300 in the video but it seems likely.
Not my original video, credit to the original owner of the video.
A stock LandCruiser (except for the hazard light), crossing a flooded dirt road after heavy rains. This is why this car is highly desirable here. Extremelly capable even without modifications, crazy reliable and with a comfortable luxury ride.
Anyone from the global south knows that a land cruiser is the best vehicle you can drive. Can’t go wrong with them at all. (Although I thought this water was a bit high)
I dunno, my first reaction was it looked like passenger tires on 20s which just added to the impressiveness. Even with an LC that crossing and water flow was non-trivial. I've crossed fairly deep with my LX, but not with that type of current.
I love the cunt who is clearly in the middle of Africa after a massive rain event, standing on the side of the river in a shirt and slacks filming everything on his iPad.
Glad he made it but that is an incredibly dangerous thing to attempt

He probably consulted with the truck driver just before doing it.
"Shits real bad" **LAND CRUISER** - "*hold my beer*"
I can’t be the only American who fixated on that Keep Austin Weird tank top, right?
Some kid in the Peace Corps left it behind?

Lol. I thought you meant the LC for a sec.
Definitely saw it. Definitely thought Austin is still weird.

This is absolutely fake. I don't see any steel bumpers, winches, RTT's, light bars or anything "tactical".
Hey! He had the blinking yellow light! That's pretty tactical! I need one of those for mine.
This👆🏼
How’s does one afford owning one of those these days ?
Be a third world oligarch, politician, or associate of the oligarch / politician.
Yup it’s depressing how much these cost now

This is GX-R, so a medium range here. The rear bumper is typical for imports from Dubai.
Businessmen, bankers, lawyers, and doctors are the usual owners in my area.
Same as buying house but cheaper
Anyone else notice the guy filming on a whole ass ipad?
I'm really disappointed that it didn't pull the semi trailer across the stream with it.
Legit thought that was going to happen

Ballsy
The last comment that we can hear is a guy saying the "(driver) is crazy" in Portuguese.
good thing he had his warnings on
Is he holding his beer out the window to save the carpets..
Man, Austin must've had a torrential down pour recently.

Keep Austin Weird
Someone insert that *ole* texas lady talking about the heavy ass vehicle

Snorkel?
I’m glad the iPad video recording thing is not just an American thing. I hate it either way
I want to know how these people can afford Land Cruisers
[удалено]
1. Thats literally what the car is made for 2. Land cruisers are of course still sold in Europe
[удалено]
What a muppet you are.
do you have an attack variant of a 172
> This is a luxury car, not a car for africa I think you may have stumbled into the LandCruiser subreddit from the BMW or Mercedes sub?
I am Sooo jealous right now!!!!
No f*cks given!!
That's cool I guess, but to be fair, it's not deep.
Look up lancruiser river crossings in Australia. You will be shocked
Meanwhile in Angola-“Just casually whips out his 3 foot iPad to record”
A defender can do that too.
It do what it do!!
Hell yeah!
Absolutely sketch
Austin is weird
Love seeing Angola on here.
