I love land cruisers, in particular I'm attracted to the design ethos. Every series and every style. I have a land cruiser sticker on my laptop for that reason. In a society of throw away automobiles, here's something built to withstand. Miss my 250k+ mile 80 series we got rid of because we needed to go down to one car. As soon as I need another 2nd vehicle it'll be a land cruiser (or Lexus LX) or Land Cruiser Prado (Lexus GX here in the states).
- _hcuq 4y agoWould a new land cruiser have the same longevity?
- aae42 4y agoThere is no reason to believe they wouldn't. The 2 models in appreciable production, the 70 series highlighted here has proven itself with a long track record. The 200 series, soon to be replaced has generally been the most expensive Toyota one can buy. The LX generally the most expensive Lexus (apart from super special models like LFA or Century in Japan), and engineers are generally given "a blank check" to build what they want to build that meets that ethos. Even though the next version will go more complicated with smaller engines and turbo chargers, they are still properly built. It's not just classic land cruisers with longevity, easy to find examples of 100 series land cruisers and Lexus GS (120 series) from the early to late 00s with half a million miles and going strong. 200s will when they've been around long enough.
