Episode 360: Land Rover Defender 130 Off-Road Accessories, 2025 Toyota 4Runner vs. 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser, Autonomous Drivng Bans

Author: Unnamed Automotive Podcast April 21, 2024 Duration: 51:15

This week on the Unnamed Automotive Podcast, our hosts dive into the Land Rover Defender 130, but not just any Defender: this one is loaded with all the trimmings, including a side-mounted accessory box, a roof rack made for camping, a ladder to access that rack, and some sweet flat-black paint. Benjamin asks, are these things useful? Are they worth the money? Won't people in the city just be tempted to mess with your cool Land Rover stuff? And Sami has his thoughts on why he's right and wrong - not to mention how the rest of the car behaves on the road.

Then our hosts get dirty discussing the recently revealed 2025 Toyota 4Runner, which has finally recieved a significant redesign after being untouched for so long. While that's good news, the guys can't help but bring up the new 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser, and how this news affects its standing in the Toyota truck lineup.

Finally, the guys bring up some news from Up North about the banning of cars with Level 3 hands-free driving systems. Thanks for listening, be sure to head to our website or get in touch with us if you have any questions or feedback!

You’re probably used to car reviews that stick to horsepower figures and trim levels, but Unnamed Automotive Podcast takes a different exit. Each week, automotive journalists Benjamin and Sami sit down to tear apart the latest models and the industry at large, but they do it with a blend of genuine expertise and unscripted humor that feels more like a conversation in a garage than a formal critique. They get into the weird quirks of car culture, share honest opinions that often bypass the usual press kit talking points, and aren’t afraid to laugh at the absurdities they encounter. This isn’t just specs and performance data-though that’s in there, too-it’s about the stories, the personalities, and the unexpected moments that happen when you’re truly passionate about cars. Tuning into this podcast feels like hanging out with two friends who happen to know everything about automobiles, making it a perfect mix for anyone who loves cars, comedy, or just hearing a fresh, unfiltered take. You’ll find their chemistry drives the discussion, turning each episode into a ride that’s as entertaining as it is informative.
