[@MitchQuintana]

Scotty is right - these things do last forever! I have and daily drive a 1994 80’s Series Land Cruiser. It has the 1FZFE 4.5L 6 cylinder. It has 230k miles on it and runs like a top. In the years I’ve had it I’ve only had to replace the heater core. It’s a 27yr old vehicle and EVERYTHING works. (Well, everything except the cigarette lighter plug). I will drive this thing until the engine dies - then will rebuild the engine and drive it until it dies again. It bums me out to hear that Toyota is stopping selling Cruisers in the States. They’re my favorite vehicle ever.

[@KalOrtPor]

Lately when manufacturers have brought back beloved nameplates, they were the same in name but not in spirit, or much else. Part of the Land Cruiser's appeal is the 25-year parts life and being a rugged and stable platform that has changed little over the years (also: still made in Japan). I'd be afraid to see too clean-sheet a model, they just don't engineer new products from scratch that way any more. I don't think even Toyota could resist building in some modern design practices geared towards cost-cutting and production efficiencies that shouldn't affect the final product on paper, but like the hydraulic motor mounts that Scotty just talked about, we all know it happens (like hearing "We've changed our classic X recipe, but rest assured they're the same X you know and love!" When PR comes out and says this, hint: They're not). The inertia of the Land Cruiser being what it is from all those years ago is a big part of why they're still made so good today. As good as Toyota's other offerings are, they're no Land Cruiser. Hopefully Toyota recognizes this and stays true to the name if they bring it back, but I am not optimistic considering it will still be sold for the rest of the world and they could've kept it going here. I worry that an all-new or US-centric Land Cruiser would no longer be a true offroader, or (shudder) a unibody crossover.

And mine has an extra gear in the transmission compared to the one you are talking about. I mostly agree with you that the land cruiser is incredible and I will maintain and keep mine forever I truly love it! Just make sure you are right about the mileage when you are gonna tell thousands of people what it gets.

Hey Scotty, I worked in an automatic trans. shop since I was 17 and went onto become a gear engineer. The comparison to American vehicles is wrong. I worked on just as many Toyotas as I did American vehicles. I know there are some junkers out there, including Toyota models and American. But talking about decent American vehicles like the Suburban. Everyone I know gets 200-300k miles out of their Suburban, they also maintenance it and take care of it. No majors, and the minors are much cheaper, and the support docs are more available. In fact, I know of a 2500 Suburban, that roled over 400k miles last year with no majors. I do agree that ALL the new stuff is inferior. I spent a lot of time at the Michigan Proving Grounds aka the Ford track in Romeo. On any given day it only operates at 30% capacity because most testing happens "virtually". So that works about as good as you would guess. Thanks for the vids!

Perfect timing with your video about this model, Scotty! We have a LC100 with 300k mile 4.2 diesel engine and manual transmission. An excellent off-roader, it always feels like driving a truck. Recently an issue came up in the suspension. It has this oil suspension system that can lower the car or make it higher with a press of a button. But the rear end doesn't raise up to normal ride height anymore and it bounces awfully during driving, it doesn't feel safe at all to drive, especially now in the winter. The shocks do not seem to be leaking and there is no loss of fluid in the reservoir. I'm thinking somewhere there is a valve that stops the fluid from going back and forth that has gone bad. What is your opinion in this matter, what could be wrong? Anything else I should look out for? Thanks

Cristobal Arriaga GX is a 4Runner platform I believe. LX is the land cruiser.

[@Cristobal_Ygnacio_Arriaga]

@@Kingfisher1215 nope, the Gx is built on the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. You can look it up. The Prado was originally designed as light duty Land Cruiser derived from the 70 series in the 80’

Hey Scotty, great to hear you and see you, take care of yourself

[@garyneudorf3741]

I'm still driving my 93 Honda Prelude SR that I bought new. Still has original shocks windshield and brake pads with 270000 kms on it. Inspected 3 years ago when I moved to BC Canada and passed with no issues. Japanese cars are the best.

[@frankdelucey2137]

I have a stock 2000 Toyota 4Runner V6 230***miles will be doing the timing belt and other maintenance this summer while in there. Figured I should drain the diffs and transfer case while I'm at it. It's a beast in the snow even when I slide off the highway avoiding accidents up ahead it gets me right back on the road and to my destination.

[@MourningSova]

They should just ditch the V8 and replace it with a straight-6 (both petrol and diesel), and have a standard transmission option. Maybe even redesign it to make it look retro.

[@amymandeville8342]

I seriously think ending these will do more harm than good to Toyota.

[@haroldbeauchamp3770]

My neighbor owns a Toyota dealer in a nearby town. We talk about business regularly. He almost never sells a Land Cruiser. He always keeps one in stock, but he says they never sell. He loses money on every Land Cruiser due to lack of sales. For every Land Cruiser he sells, he sells 200 Toyota Sequoia’s. It’s cheaper, reliable, powerful, and nearly 99% as capable as the Land Cruiser for what their customers use them for. Not only is he not concerned about losing the Land Cruiser, he’s excited about it.

I have a 97 LX450 and everything Scotty said is true. Now, mine is lifted with 35 inch tires with a winch and steel bumpers and sliders. You can watch the fuel gauge move. These trucks are overbuilt.

[@OS-hx4jk]

Scotty doesn't know the difference between AWD and 4WD. Calling the world's greatest and most reliable 4WD an all wheel drive is an insult. A bloody Ford Edge is AWD!

[@josetorresgrajales4429]

Land Cruisers have been full-time AWD for a long time now. When you lock the center differential, it becomes a classic 4wd or 4x4 vehicle. Scotty has been a mechanic for more than 50 years so don’t think you know more than him. 😂

[@OS-hx4jk]

@@josetorresgrajales4429 I know not 2% of what he knows. I just find it odd that he uses the terms AWD and 4WD as synonyms. (I live in UAE, we take these things to the desert every weekend and the couhtry has the world's 3rd highest number of Landcruisers after Australiaand Russia. So yes, of course I know how the 4WD system in the LC works.)

I'm waiting for the day Scotty travels to Japan,vanquishes Akio Toyoda and conquer Toyota,so as to prevent such future "mistakes".

[@Mohapi_Tau]

I don't think this is Akio Toyoda's doing, rather it is the way of the damn corporates. In fact he wants Toyota to build cars that people love.

[@blairbrown4812]

@@Mohapi_Tau it's one thing to want to build cars that people love. But if we're not prepared to go to bankruptcy court in order to buy them, then naturally, survival must come first and Toyota as a business will have to cut their losses in order to survive.

[@Mohapi_Tau]

@@blairbrown4812 I think Toyota is doing well now compared to most. They are now designing cars that seem appealing, & more performance oriented these days, like some of their competitors.

[@sunkim6461]

Scotty, I had a 2005 model 6 cylinder Land Cruiser. I bought it at $10,000.00 when gas price was sky high. It had 15,000 miles on. I drove it to 137,000 miles and sold it to Auto Nation for $5,500. It was a gas hog to me. City 11 to 12 miles per gal and freeway 18 miles per gallon. I didn't loose a penny on it because I didn't put any maintenance on it other than replaced oil and tires.

There are a number of companies that make snowplow blades that fit on cars and small trucks, some even front mounted.

They’ll probably bring it back like the Venza.

[@z3lot]

The problem is there only a hand full of smart people who have the money that know the potential and worth of the land cruiser. Most people who can afford 85k+ suvs will get a German, Cadillac, Tesla, and other luxury brands. So the sales are really low on them
