Hi all,
I think both vehicles are good, nearly 20 years as a car then HGV mechanic and workshop manager leave me with many opinions on various vehicles and having worked in BMW, Toyota, Ford and Landrover dealerships in my car days I would not buy any car that is not German or Japanese. My personal choice of these two would be the Landcruiser which is a very capable towcar although a bit slow and tractor like compared to the more modern and car like rivals, but it will do more than most owners will ever need it to and they never seemed to go wrong when I worked on them. In Dubai one in three cars is a Landcruiser, this is because they know it will get them home again in the harsh conditions where some 4x4s cannot be relied on.
Nothing wrong with the Shogun though, just personal choice.
