This truck is amazing, we bought it because we have a large family and a big dog and it works great! We live here in New Jersey and every August we go on vacation to Hilton Head SOuth Carolina. We took this truck and it was like driving in luxury. I would never buy any other truck, this one is the best. After experiencing the best why settle for less?

The tank as my family of four use to reference. This is my second landcruiser with the first being a 1995 model that had a bad head gasket and overheated. My attempts to repair this unit with my local technician was to no avail. I purchased a used 2004 model and definitely enjoy the fact that it does not hydroplane on slick roads of ice, snow, and water when compared to other suvs - i.e Mercedes G-Wagon, Tahoes, Suburbans, and Explorers (all 4x4). It is not the most fuel efficient SUV but in my 40 years of driving it has to be the best for overall activities of commuting, trips to the beach, and traveling through the mountains. The power and second added mode of transmission give it the extra boast for passing and climbing. The sound system needs to be replaced and the rear viewing camera is a bit cloudy. The rear AC and heating are a great service to my kids for added comfort. I have had to replace and/or repair a battery, wipers, air bag recall (free), hood supports, and tires (common wear and tear). It is a classy vehicle that still retains it appeal after 15 years. I did have to superglue my plastic covering over the luggage rack due to sun exposure. Recommend that you replace the front window rubber seal after years of replacing cracked window. I would not replace this landcrusher other than with another one! Cannot go wrong if you want reliability and durability and of course - safety!

Look anyone who owned or currently owns Landcruisers should be fairly well-versed with them. Everyone knows of their reliability & craftsmanship, areas where they are 2nd to none. No doubt they are huge and ponderous to drive and like any other large SUV are big boxes in the wind that return poor gas mileage. However, for pure reliability and comfort, toyota comes thru. This is a pricey vehicle, no doubt, and you would expect memory seats and a more appointed interior, but a true toyota buyer does his homework thoroughly up front and knows their strength is in the fact that you will own this vehicle for years to come and when you move on, most likely your loyalty will remain with toyota
Great Vehicle

This is by far the most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. I have owned Mercedes, Jeeps, Hondas and Toyotas in the past but never a Land Cruiser. The other day I was at an outdoor festival and we parked in the grass. It started to pour down rain and soaked everything. When we were leaving there were lots of SUVs which were spinning there wheels in mud and the grass, but we had no problem in the grassy field or going through the mud. The best part was that I didn't even have to switch to 4 wheel drive since it is in it full time. I love this vehicle.
12 years and still going strong

I’ll probably never sell it. 32 valve V8, smooth sporty ride when you buy quality tires, reliable, full time all wheel drive is great in rain, mud, snow. Glad I bought it and still own it.
