200 Series Land Cruiser Evolution! What's the difference?

[@CruisingTheLand]

One huge difference missed here....2016 and up have a 8spd transmission versus the predecessor 6 spd. This should make a big difference in towing up steep grades giving more gear ratios.

[@WideAwakeHuman]

I’ve heard the 8 spd version feels a little less punchy when driving than the 6spd? I’ve got a 2013 and love it but haven’t had the chance to drive a 2016+ yet.

[@hilsonmotors]

@WideAwakeHuman 💯! No where near as responsive as the 6spd. If you like your '13 you "likely" won't like the 8-speed

[@WideAwakeHuman]

@ thanks for confirming… I’ll start looking for another ‘13-‘15 - mine has 200k on it and fully built and I want a stock one to daily drive

[@hilsonmotors]

@WideAwakeHuman when you're ready for the stock one, call me and I'll add you to my "wanted" list. Would be glad to help you find one.

[@WideAwakeHuman]

@ Already been looking - I’ll give you a call Monday. You have a 2013 black 200 listed as sold on your site, that’s exactly the type of set up I’m wanting.

[@jaredgrubbs4009]

The .2 is the sweet spot. Same off road aids, front seats and seat leather, radar cruise, LED/HID light type as the 16+. It also doesn’t have the TVs in the back of the seats (important for car seats). My wife loves the Terra interior but not worth the premium at the moment to me.

[@ibanezmakki]

The 200 series just progressively got better and better.. better looking (interior and exterior).. better tech.. better transmissions.. And what a finale with the heritage edition in 2021.. they even offered it with a 3rd row

Great video! Love them all.

[@hilsonmotors]

Thanks Dan! Hope all is well.

[@jacobwatts2539]

Great video. Can’t wait for some of these to be for sale!

[@hilsonmotors]

Sooon!!

[@rigobertogarza7945]

i have the one in the middle, bought it in 2015 after trading in my 2013 LC because I liked the darker grey more than the silver I had. 2016 comes around and I immediately regret not waiting a year, but honestly after a while i've grown to like the one I own over the first and last versions, and some car reviewers (doug demuro lol) can agree with me it is an overall clean, yet new, good looking design. I would still love to own a 2016+ version in the future

[@hilsonmotors]

The .2 (2013-2015) is my personal favorite of the 200's. Other than the HE. That is a whole nother story😅

[@skyhawk5469]

Own a 21, great vehicle.

[@travholg]

Thanks for the video, it's super hard to find this info online. What was the predecessor to MTS in the .1?

[@hilsonmotors]

Absolutely! The .1 just had crawl control only.

[@travholg]

@@hilsonmotors Cool, thanks. But also ATRAC? Was it just non-adjustable before MTS?

[@hilsonmotors]

Correct on A-TRAC and the adjustability.

[@alljerseysmatter.]

I'm interested in a 2016-18. Preferably the LX570

[@hilsonmotors]

Sounds good! I'll keep that in mind moving forward on the 570 side of things.

[@bigdbigd1616]

am interested in the 2013-2017 land Cruiser :}

[@kubanskiloewe]

which one you can get with rear diff lock ?

[@hilsonmotors]

None of them

[@kubanskiloewe]

@@hilsonmotors :-( really ?? which Model offers a rear diff ? The 100 ?

I’m interested in that .2. Do you have an idea of where you’ll be on pricing?

[@hilsonmotors]

Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, the .2 is already sold and gone. Went to S.C.

[@gideonighodalo3476]

Reliability ❤

[@kevinwood7353]

Am interested in the .3 blue/terra!

[@hilsonmotors]

This specific one has been sold. Will keep you posted on any new inventory that I get.

[@bradheel04]

Any decisions on that .3 listing price yet?

[@hilsonmotors]

Likely going to be $53k-$55k depending on where I end up money wise in it.

[@jessetemeng6350]

Massive fan of the 08-11 manual. Landcruisers generally are the best anyway

[@WideAwakeHuman]

Manual in an 08-11?

[@jessetemeng6350]

@ yes manual

[@WideAwakeHuman]

@@jessetemeng6350 no such thing in the US but would be cool to drive

[@jessetemeng6350]

@ ok. Over here in Ghana, the mining companies use them. My OG had one given to him as official duty vehicle. A V8 manual.

[@WideAwakeHuman]

@ nice!! Yeah here in the US we miss out on some of the best Land Cruiser specs.. especially the turbo diesel engines

[@andrewwolf3284]

May I know are uzj200 calling the name the same as lc200 and are they all body shape especially at rear are the same to?

[@hilsonmotors]

Same drivetrain and chassis throughout the 200 platform. They just made Suttle changes to the exterior and interior of the 200's across the generation.

[@ryanroland6426]

Your incorrect the .3 gets an 8 speed auto instead of the .2 and .1 6 speed auto. ​@hilsonmotors

[@robertthompson240]

Question, when did they remove the second row passenger screens on the back of the seats? I'd rather not have those

[@hilsonmotors]

'18-'19 I beleive they became optional.

[@JosefJacobsen]

Chris, great quick look! I have to agree with you-that .3 is CRAZY beautiful! Again, you’re killing it bringing us incredible LCs!

[@leardi58]

Looking for a LC 200 2017-2021 white Pearl. Have a almost new ORP TRD 4runner with only 5k every option that you could get. Would trade with cash depending on if it has what im looking for

[@hilsonmotors]

Awesome! And I'd definitely take the 4Runner on trade. You care about whether the interior is black or terra?

[@leardi58]

@@hilsonmotors I would rather black but what I can do is give you a call tomorrow if that's ok

[@hilsonmotors]

Sounds good👍🏻

[@mrnsona3725]

The video is great. Don't be so hard on yourself Bro 😢

[@shotsfiredandmissed9068]

I'm gonna show my dad this video coz he's having a hard time differentiating the different itterations of the 200 series

[@hilsonmotors]

Wish I had more time that day to do a more detailed video talking mechanical differences among other things.

[@jpdoc5722]

nice 👍 👍

[@hilsonmotors]

Yeah👏

[@DestroyerOfLiberals]

Not one of the with AHC? Now that's lame.

[@jellard24]

Interested in that .1

[@hilsonmotors]

I have one guy in front of you on that one. If he doesn't move on it, you're more than welcome to it. It should be live in the next 10-12 days.

[@MrLazlness]

How about lx570?

[@hilsonmotors]

One day I'll hopefully be able to do that video as well

[@NewtownVids]

It's a real shame that we don't get the 300 series land cruiser here in the US.😞

[@hilsonmotors]

100%!!

[@Meme4frogs]

it is rubbish, we have it here and people are returning to previous ones. btw its engine have the same problem of the new recalled tandra and lx. It is a cheaply made lc.

[@hilsonmotors]

@Meme4frogs yeah, we have the 300 series LX600 here, but only available in a 6cyl. And as you mentioned, has a manufacturing defect with the engines👎🏻

[@ShahabKhan-dx6ng]

.3 is more beautiful 🎉

[@danpatrick5944]

Only, Doug demuro, don’t like the .3

[@tvreida6189]

Why do all the .3 LC’s have chunks missing out of their steering wheels! Toyota went south in quality from the .1 and .2 to the .3……. Just trying to make more money, shame shame Toyota!

[@hilsonmotors]

Yep! To me, the .2's are the best of the 200's. Specifically the Leather and the steering wheel wood in the 100's are much higher quality than any 200 imo.

[@986C]

A lot of people don’t like the .3? Whut? No one I know thinks that. The last gen looks the best by far.

[@hilsonmotors]

.3 = 2016-2021 model years. And yes, as I said, lots of people I talk to don't like the .3. Instead they prefer the .2-200 Series over the .3
