Here's Why the 2007 Toyota Land Cruiser is the Best of the 100 Series Generation

[@jeffsama7601]

The landcruiser 100 series is truly legendary.Thanks bro for this review

[@EatSleepDrive]

Cheers.

[@josephah2000]

Got my 07 in 2016 with 119k miles on it. It's been bulletproof and is no doubt a great overlanding 4x4 SUV. I've tons of upgrades to and plan to keep it for as long as I live. LOL.

[@24hrstolive27]

How much did u pay for it when u bought it?

[@josephah2000]

@@24hrstolive27 $25k in 2016. It was immaculate and only had one previous owner.

[@michaelmango8524]

I’m looking at a 07 with 98k right now for $24k, clean truck some scuffs, what you think?

[@94Greenbean]

Just to be clear, not Produced but sold in the US, Still made in Japan! Good vid bro!

[@LookOutside...]

7:00. I can’t get “10 of one, half dozen of the other” out of my head.

[@adamk9652]

We used to own a 2003. We put 312K miles in a rust belt state before we handed in the towel once the Exaust Manifold had a leak, VSC, kept turning on and off upon hills, and, overall required 4K in repairs. We auctioned it off and, got 10K for it [went to some guy up in Maine for a winter vehicle]. Yeah, I miss that car. The roar of its 2UZ-FE V8 always put a smile on my face. I'm saving up for another Land Cruiser [probably a 80 or another 100] cause I'm now obsessed with them

[@stymiesnerdly771]

1st Gen Sequoia is the extremely underrated step-sister. Same 285ci 4.7L V8, 5 speed trans, and the '05-'07 years came with rear air bag suspension. I have an early model w/323k+ miles, still achieving 16-17 mpg, and it has enough torque to pop tree stumps all day long. They're offroad beasts in stock form & yet extremely comfortable as a family vacation highway hauler.

[@hobolyf]

LC is more heavy duty. I compared my tundra to a land cruiser. They definitely built the Land cruiser better.

[@MLProductions.1]

They're so ugly. My mom had an 06. I had a 03 navigator at the time now I have an 08. But the navigator was better in just about every aspect other then reliability of course. I rather deal with a few issues. The interiors on the Sequoia was just nasty. Looked old just like the GM interiors of the time. Could've passed off as a late 90s. We both had pretty much the same milage when we sold them. I had 99k she had 106k not one issue form her truck.. Window regulator. Door accuator. Air suspension was switched to coils. Radiator heater core hose. Broken door handle. Serpentine belt. But yet Everytime I drove her truck I knew it was a solid truck but I felt so much better in the navigator. And overall the navigator was a great truck. Never had one issue with the engine or transmission. Never let me down. Never let me stranded. I wanted a 07+ Land cruiser but they cost 3-4x as much as a navigator so I went with the navigator again. Absolutely love it

[@Kajkulahi]

It is a sin to compared a Sequoia to a Land Cruiser.

[@hawks_stuff]

1HD-FTE was the best engine Toyota made, shame the pollution laws killed it....You guys missed out big time...The 100 series with this engine was a great vehicle..and still hold their value and are highly sought after in Australia...

[@luxcruisers7870]

We did miss out on that one but US Cruisers still hold values extremely well because they are quite rare here. I was still finding them in the $30,000 USD range for lower mileage (100,000) examples when I was searching last summer.

[@poisonouspython1410]

Beautiful truck. But you're flat wrong about the AHC being an issue in terms of breakage. It's extremely robust. Obviously nothing wrong with preferring conventional suspension, but to say it's going to get you stuck is pretty inaccurate.

[@djflashback8343]

Agree, I have a '99 LX-470 with 188k, never had an AHC problem.

The 1HD-FTE is by far the best engine for these. Diesel manual cruisers are the only way to go.

This style variation is getting extremely rare to find since they didn’t make very many of these 06-07 models. I see more 98-02 and 03-05 versions of this vehicle on the road. I hope own one of these 06 or 07 models one day though.

I get lc100 sahara series without AHC.. with double tank.. diesel engine.. double blower..with factory central lock

[@wellcraft19]

Good summary (reminds me a bit of "why the 1993 Saab 900" - the last true model of that iconic car) and tanks for the recap - of why often the very last model of a certain generation is the best car to get. I do have a 1999 LC 100 with just over 130K miles on it (yes, low miles). 4-speed, but I get normally 18-19 mpg out on the highway (been tracking fuel economy at every fill up since new). Have had three issues; 1) starter contacts went bad in 2006. Cheap part and easy to replace once you actually can access it. Requires removign intake manifold, and then a "contortios" maneuver to reach the mounting bolts for the starter. 2) The driver side window has "fallen down" twice. Plastic bracket that is attached to the power window mechanism broke. Toyota does not sell them (only whole window), so I picked up a few at a local glass shop, modified it, glued it in place, and it lasted some 12-13 years. Now time do fix it again. 3) the throttle body sensor went haywire, resorting to limp mode home and a new $250 part shipped up new from Toyota/Phoenix (half price of local stores). I do have the rear locker, which has been a blessing a few times, but to be noted is that the 1998-98 also only has a two pinion diff up front, whereas all the subsequent models got a 4 pinion diff. Some 98-99 did brake that diff when going from a slippery surface with wheels spinning, to suddenly good traction (like going from snow to dry pavement). Known issue.

[@timarcher3927]

I was concerned about running 35s my '97 LX450 with stock gearing. No worries at all. Runs like a champ, even pulling my off-road tent trailer over passes like Monarch, La Vita, etc. doing 65-70 mph. You just have to pay a bit of attention to momentum and drive accordingly. It will easily do 95 - 100 mph on flatter highway with the trailer as well. One day she will get an LS swap, but until then, I'm very happy with the performance, especially off-road. Tough to beat a solid front axle.

I really hope that Toyota doesn’t cancel the LC in the USA. I also hope the 300 series is less bloated and more barebones. I think the LC100 has the perfect balance of class, elegance, comfort while being very capable OffRoad, good at towing and general utility.

[@S3OOODI3]

I used to have a 1998 Land Cruiser V8 with manual transmission. It had 422K Km or 265,000 miles on it when I sold it and it was running absolutely PERFECT with zero issues. These cars can be abused off road and they will last for a very long time if you maintain them.

[@Being_Joe]

I have a 2005 LX470 and I am going to disagree with the center navigation console. I hate that the HVAC controls are integrated into the screen and much prefer the earlier models where the HVAC is independent and you can swap out the head unit for something modern. On my 05 if I want Carplay, I can either spend $700 for a module that integrates with the existing unit or I can use a external Carplay unit (which is what I currently have). If I want AUX in I have install another module. The backup camera is very dated. I have heard that it was a option without the nav system but not many went that route. I have seen where people rewire the entire center console to the early head units from the 98/99 era, that is cool. Anyway, not a reason not to get one of these, but man is that nav system dated.

[@otabrab]

I’ve had 2 LC100’s. My first was brand new in 2000 I loved that vehicle so much I put 268,000 miles on it with very little maintenance other than the usual brakes oil etc. I’m not your typical LC owner. I use it as an every day driver, I tow with it and sometimes things that are rediculous such as bobcats etc. I drive in the city and on the highway and I take it on some pretty serious off road treks as well. In 2011 I wanted to update the vehicle and I wasn’t keen on the new 200 series looks. Started to look either too fancy or too much like the highlander so I back peddled a little and bought a 3 1/2 year old 100 series with 54,000 miles on it. I now have 238,000 miles on it and have been off-road, rocks, mud, trails, sand & water. Even with no snorkel I’ve had water almost to the door handles and waded through cautiously unscathed and surprisingly dry with no water at all inside. I’ve towed and traveled. I’ve had very little maintenance other than brakes, fluid changes, calipers & tires. Recently around 235,000 miles I noticed a rear differential leak. It was a rear pinion seal which was easily changed but I think driving with low fluid I harmed my pinion bearings because a few days later they started o make a whining noise half way through a 360 mile trip up and back to Chicago. I had a mechanic look at it in Chicago he said the bearings were pretty much shot but not breaking apart. It would have taken a couple of days to get the parts and then an 8.5 hour job so I would have been stuck in Chicago an extra 2- 3 days so I asked him if he thought I could make it back to Indy without getting stuck. His answer was quite amusing. He said do I think you’ll get there, yes absolutely these things are built like tanks and the parts they use are way over specified for their use. But I can’t guarantee for sure you will. Keep it under 70mph and you should be fine. Which I did and I got home safely listening to my bearings whine away as I drove down the highway. I got it fixed as soon as I got home. This was my fault for driving it when I originally noticed a substantial diff leak. The differential fluid flows through these pinion bearings and keeps them lubricated so when it was low they got damaged. I got the new bearings ( and as a side note if you ever need these only buy them from Toyota. I bought ones that were made by national bearing and were being sold as “exact fit” by every store and online retailer. They are not correct and I had to return and get them from Toyota and actually half the price of the aftermarket ones) when my mechanic had the rear differential out he called me over to take a look because I was concerned about metal shavings harming the gears. He laughed as he had the rear gears on the bench next to a highlanders and an Ford 4x4 F150’s. My 100’s gears not only looked brand new but were monstrous next to the other two. He said Toyota didn’t f@&k around when they built this vehicle. These could pull a Semi truck! Everything is back together and running great. That was the only problem I’ve ever had in almost a quarter million miles and most of it was my fault. Now just to answer what he said about no locking diff, I do have a locking differential button on my vehicle which may have been an option but it is definitely factory installed. These 2007’s have been my favorite ride but I do like the new 2018 as it seems to have a little if it’s utilitarian look back. Maybe time for and update but I’ll definitely have to think about it for a while .... maybe another 100k Mike’s or so! 😂

[@tyarakpolingo1844]

You shouldnt drive with water up to your door without a snorkel I hope you changed transmission fluid immediately afterwards

And i wouldn't sell your car for very much or else you scammed them cuz you gve them mistreated car

[@otabrab]

Tyarak Polingo everything runs perfectly! As a matter of fact the dealer that works on my 100 offered me $23k + for it. It’s never been crashed, smashed or trashed and for you to make a statement like that obviously means you have no idea about the capabilities of these vehicles. As long as water does not enter the air breather they can go pretty much anywhere. Yes if I was complexly submerged under water, driving for any amount of time it could have possibly been an issue without a snorkel that being said, the air breather box has a pretty substantial seal, so to make a water crossing with water up the doors is simple and expectedly so considering the quality of build products and seals Toyota uses to manufacture this vehicle. Think about what you say before you say things you know nothing about. I’ve been driving land cruisers for 20 years and have never had an issue which speaks for itself. Can you say the same?

[@luxcruisers7870]

@@otabrab He might be talking about the transmission and differential breathers, they are tubes with one way valve caps that are supposed to help keep water out while doing water crossings but if you go above them it is possible to get water in the trans or diff, that's why some people do fluid changes after water crossings. On the rear it can't extend higher than the floor of course so water at that height or above could potentially get in the breather. Also as a point of maintenance its good to be sure these breathers are clear and working to exhaust overpressure in their respective units. What you say are true, they are built to do this sort of thing, but with age things fail and sometimes people get themselves into trouble because of failed check valves in the breathers. Enjoy your cruiser, they are truly amazing vehicles! Mine is also my daily driver. Gas station dude knows me by name and greets me warmly!

Agree on all your points. I have an 07 w/out the AHC and it's the best vehicle I've ever owned. The one point you made about the touchscreen display is good in some aspects but if you care at all about the sound quality of your stereo, it's a massive undertaking to do any kind of stereo upgrade other than just replace the door speakers. Minor issue, but the older models were much easier to install a higher quality head unit and aftermarket amp.

Sad that stateside we never got the diesel 1HZ or 1 HD engines on the 100 series. The whole world has a great appreciation for Landcruisers ie. 70 series, and 80 series. You should do an eval on a Toyota Prado (90 series) which are only sold in the US as Lexus GX.

That car is a legendary, I love it

[@arunvr46]

My 2006 LC has all these features plus a rear differential locker. It’s a GCC spec car

[@KYNQxEdz]

i think the GCC spec is the best ... Toyota gives their extra touch of perfection on the GCC models they built like tanks and they are so comfortable

[@jacobabraham7160]

It has a rear diff because the gcc specs car which is vxr v8 bascially the full option had a rear diff lock Only on the Vxr not on any of the gxr iny the vxr full option if u get the vsr v8 limited which is only there for 2006 and 2007 it looks like the us interior but better cause beige color lot of wood trim And the imited has AHC activ height control

[@arunvr46]

The only issue what I noticed in GCC spec cars is the non availability of VVT. VVT came only with the 2008 200 series LCs.

[@jacobabraham7160]

@@arunvr46 please tell me that the 2006 and 2007 have vvti

[@jacobabraham7160]

@@arunvr46 because i thought it is gonna be powerful that i was going to buy the 2006 and 2007 if it ain't there im not bying the 100 series cause the 235 hp is just too less especially cause i go to the desert and i was in a y61 safar patrol 4.8 which has 280 hp so someone alrady came and said he will buy it for a good price so if the 2006 and 7s have 235 i will just buy a 300 series

[@mikecude4167]

98-99 has a rotating switch for the rear locker not a button.

I have a 2003 Toyota Sequoia, and I'll tell you what it's a dayum reliable peace of machinery, I'll tell you that much. The bottom is bone dry, the only time I'm under the hood is to do an oil change that's it! Super reliable if you take care of them.

[@Maxumized]

Isaac Arias I have the 2003 4x4 Sequoia and it’s made just as good as these land cruisers. With 250k, it starts and runs like new

[@phatnum17]

@@Maxumized they aren't comparable. Hence why the LC cost so much more

[@Theyralltakenfu]

@@phatnum17 The cost of a vehicle doesn't amount to it's worth. Look at Range Rovers, costly, but pieces of shit that spend more time in the mechanics garage, then in the owners. I have a 4Runner and even they go beyond 300,000 miles with good maintenance. I will say that, even being a 4Runner owner, I bow to the Land Cruiser. LOL

[@jat946]

I bought my 200 series precisely for the AHC system. It's so robust and so underrated. It's also pretty easy to fix in the rare case something goes wrong. It's a true lift on demand

[@mohammedalsenani264]

The Middle Eastern versions of the land cruiser cames with rear differential lock from the factory in the all models from 1998 to 2007 and it cames with I6 eninge 1FZ FE with improvements the engine is like the big father of 2jz engine it handles huge power like above 1000 hp or 1500

[@ejshelby5460]

Please do a review on common rust spots and oregention

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Awesome video. I just bought my first Land Cruiser (2004) Great to learn all the differences from year to year. Thank you!!!

[@beaglemanzzz]

In 98 and 99 you got an optional rear locker yes, but you also got a non optional weaker 2 pinion front differential.

[@marcochavanne]

Like my 99 Rear locker has come in handy. Seen ATRAC break front diffs and CV shafts

[@flight2k5]

Only with big tires and when a tire is spinning and then gets traction.

[@deanm-s349]

105 is the best 100 series, you yanks got stitched up with the models, not manual (stick) and no diesel?
