Why Toyota Land Cruiser is the Most Trusted 4x4 Ever Made

[@fingling8]

Superbly done. Really enjoyed (and loving this Beethoven you wind out with... ). Our family in the 1970s used to have an International Travelall in forest green whose vibe I just loved. Of course, those where the days when no one wore seatbelts, and we kids were just hopping over into the rear area like dogs. Those older ones remind me of them, only no doubt more reliable. But I've always loved the 1991-1996 era ones for beauty.

[@YourCarAngel]

Thanks. That piano piece at the end was written by my son Dustin Macke not Beethoven. At 19 years old Dustin is already a damn good composer.

My 80 Series is still my daily driver. It's a 5-speed manual with a 4.2 straight six turbo diesel and manual locking hubs. I am the original owner and bought it in late 1996 over 23 years ago.

Greg, Thank you so much for posting this video!! My wife and I bought our 1999 Land Cruiser in 2001. At that time it had 19,000 miles on it........now it has 223,000 miles on it. In the 18 years we have owned it, this 100 series Land Cruiser has only had to be in ONCE for UNSCHEDULED service. As you have stated in your video.....a true testament to the standard at which these vehicles were built to. We still own that vehicle and there is no way we would ever part with it. About a month ago I went to a local Toyota dealer to pick up 2 heater hose T fittings. On the way out, a salesman said, "Instead of fixing the Toyota you own, why don't you bring it in and let us offer you a fair price on a trade."............to which I replied, "you could offer me what I paid for it in 2001, and I still would not sell it!" Thank You again for such an Awesome video! Toyota Land Cruiser, the best SUV EVER!

[@TheActiveAssault]

When I see a new Land Cruiser on the road it’s the ultimate status symbol. It means someone in that family is not only wel off financially, but is intelligent as well. When I see a Range Rover I imagine someone is doing alright, but is not car savvy at all.

That was truly wonderful. I own a 200 cruiser, bought from new in 2014 and plan to run it until it’s wheels come off. Which means that it will see me out. I live in the UK where we get the Diesel engines, and mine has the 1VD-FTV. An absolute joy to drive, with 650Nm from 1600rpm, turbo whistle under load (they are VG turbos) and V8 burble, it’s a beauty. I suspect it’s also totally indestructible. I am a Toyota super fan, and this was truly a case of you preaching to the choir. As soon as I saw the title, I was like “yep, let’s settle in, this is going to be great”, especially because you are thorough and very knowledgeable. Thank you again, that was terrific!

I often times think about letting it go because of MPG and I don’t drive it as often as I would like but then i think about it and realized the only time it’s broken down on me on me was when a 20+ year old heater hose gave out and it started heating up. Fixed that and it’s been great. I took it on an easy off road trail and kind of fell in love with it all over again. Might just build it into and off road weekender like most others do.

Great video bud. Here in Australia we love our landcruisers and I have personally owned 3 in my time and now I own a prado which is the smaller variant to the landcruiser but in saying that, there is nothing quite like a solid well taken care of landcruiser 👍

[@luvlivingcruisers2454]

Excellent informative video👍 I love cruisers. Owner of ‘78 fj40, ‘97 80 series, 2014 FJ Cruiser, ‘96 4Runner. They’re all very reliable.

[@pukavoket]

They need to bring the V8 diesel to the US!

[@madeinhn]

True, true

[@bradensipple1343]

Yes! Here in AUS the 200 Series has the option of a 4.5lt v8 twin turbo diesel. Its incredibly capable.

[@noahjones3955]

Braden Sipple well yeah it’s a twin turbo diesel 😂😂 they are way stronger than a regular gas but less hp, which the hp is stronger though

[@dunxy]

Its a glorious engine, soo much torque.Lots of other way smaller capacity DI turbo diesels around the place here, many with roughly similar numbers to the 1vd-ftv But its the availability of the torque that makes the v8 eat everything! No clutch slipp required for taking of, pulls from well under 1k rpm all the way to 3ish. The smaller milk bottles can kind of keep up on the rd (of rd no comparison, v8 eats everything just tractors up hills you cant even walk up!) but they have to have their necks rung by comparison.

[@ALCAM001]

The petrols are better, too many problems with the V8 diesel engines here in Australia. Expensive to buy and expensive to fix. DPF issues, turbo and injector issues causing massive long term running costs. Better to pay a bit more at the pump for reliable motoring with no expensive repair bills.

Proud owner of a 2003 Landcruiser Sahara. It's got that old school solid, rugged, hard working automotive industrial era look and feel to it.

[@couvi74]

Great video, we’ll researched. Thanks for taking the time to develop such great content.

[@malcolmdavies3720]

Thank you Greg for your insightful history of the Toyota Land Cruiser. My brother & I are looking forward to getting 1 each for our retirement touring around our great country: Australia

[@lackyparker7799]

Best vehicle ever made!

[@louismarx6051]

Here in South Africa the 105 Series came out in GX & VX spec. GX was a 4.5 straight 6 petrol & 4.2 diesel with solid front axle with coil springs. The VX had independent front suspension and came out with the 4.2 Turbo Diesel and that wonderful 4.7 V8 from Lexus.

[@stephenmartini5890]

My LOVE exactly. Simply the BEST in automotive history, my Dream Car. A great video with informative material.

[@Kiddomike]

My daily driver’s are the FJ Cruiser and the 200 series Land Cruiser (with the 4.5L twin turbo diesel). I love them both and drove them up the mountains, through rivers, over lahar, to the beach. They can go almost everywhere in stock form.

[@stormrider1119]

Having owned a 100 series and now a 200 series I fully agree. I absolutely love my Land Cruiser

[@lucienleech-larkin7544]

Here in Australia, I was very lucky to have bought one of the very last of the 200 series in 2021; a Sahara, the top spec model, although all models have the 4.5 Litre twin turbo diesel V8, with the compacted graphite block!! The car is a work of art, appreciating by up to 70%, because Aussies Want the V8, and the "Hot V6" of the 300 series is considered a developmental motor at best. The KDSS hydraulic suspension keeps the car from swaying at all, in dirt or on road. If I was pressed, I would have to consider: would I give up the LandCruiser, or the house!! In Australia, the LandCruiser is King!!!

I’m on my 4th LC. Two 200s, one 100 & now an 80. The 8 speed transmission on my 16’ was trash. I upgraded to an 11’ with the 6 speed. Still driving that one and just picked up an 80. My favorite so far was the 06’ LX470.

[@MrWilliam.Stewart]

A quality man showcasing a quality product in a quality way. What more can I say.

[@mattcarroll3469]

Hi from Australia!!!! This is such a great video I have a Landcruiser Prado with 500,000kms on the clock 3.0 D4 best car I have ever owned will be updating next year and keeping my old girl for off road duties 😊

[@cruiseradventure5581]

I own a 2014 lc200. I work in the desert safari field where i give the most extreme safari and trust me i torture it everyday and so far i haven't had any problems. My car is totally stock. Out of if context. This is my channel where i will be uploading clips of me dune bashing in Dubais Desert.

Phenomenal detail. I feel like I’ve just toured a museum with the world’s best guide. Well done and good luck on matching that.

[@larrylandry6160]

Well done, long live Land Cruisers agree they are the best 4wd's ever made.

[@omerhayat6466]

Whatta quality video i have seen in ages on one of the worlds best offroader and superb walkthrough of its evolution from 1940s to 2020.. KEEP IT UP.. From a big fan of Toyota Landcruiser :)

[@SOBIsHobbies]

This is amazing! Thank you for making this video! This is true passion. I grew up loving these magnificent vehicles. And my dream is to own one one day. Hopefully, by the time I get to that level where I can afford one, they'll still be around.

[@NguyenNam-rl9he]

I drive a 2003 v6 petrol Toyota landcruiser 105 seies. It's very reliable very comfortable. I have 300000km on it with no issue. I love my landcruiser.

[@fouUili684]

I love the 200 series and I plan on buying one as an overland vehicle. I wonder why Toyota made a serious off-roader wider, it should’ve retained the size of the 100 series. That’s why I might buy a GX460 which is the landcruiser Prado in other countries as it is more nimble for off-roading but, it’s not the same power as the 200. Oh well, everything is a compromise. Great informative video, thank you

[@RichardRicho]

They made them wider to fit the big V8 in under the hood

[@edwinthomas618]

great video. The FJ60 came with 4 speed from 81 - 84 and from 85 to 87 had 5 speeds. I love my 84 FJ60 but those 80 series are beast

[@rubenrodriguez6979]

Thanks for all your in depth info...and for getting all the cruisers together ,that was tremendous

[@geofflittle1781]

I have owned a 1998 Toyota Prado GXL (V6, 3400 Quad Cam, manual 4WD) it now has over six hundred thousand kilometres on the clock and I have driven it on road and off road in almost every Australian state and territory, Queensland, NSW, Victoria, SA, WA, ACT, NT (but not Tasmania as yet) and yes even in the North Island of New Zealand. It is now very much a part of our family and the most reliable vehicle I have ever driven. Looking to restore her back to original condition, what a project, TOYOTA!

[@soufyenbouzakher1766]

I agree with you that land cruiser is the most reliable 4x4💪

[@danielrubio6675]

Love your videos man. I am a huge Toyota/Lexus fan and your videos are entertaining and informative. Really enjoyed your video on the GX 470. Keep up the great work!

[@Ra3yDatsun]

Thanks for the video, yes we do love them here in the Middle East.

[@ajs66699]

Awesome detailing.... no nonsense spoken....
