Long trip, short trip; the Land Cruiser makes just a trip to the store a "Fun Run". We had a Town and Country and look all over for a vehicle that had that ride and comfort with the SUV safety. Most were just built up trucks. Cadilac had a great exterior, but was a chevy truck inside with just more padding. The LC is functional, fun, and the inside is built for the vehicle and the driver's and passenger's favor. The problem is the wife took it and I have to drive the T&C to work...

I have owned 8 other SUV's. Fords, Chevys, Nissans, and Toyotas. This is the finest SUV, by far that I have ever owned. NIce styling, great ride and comfort, with superb dependability!

I had a 1999 LC and then sadly moved to a 2003 Seqouia (larger size). Seqouia's a nice truck but I could not stand the size/dimensions/fit-finish. Frankly, as my Seqouia review ("It ain't no LC"), the build quality did not equal my '99 LC. Well, I turned the Seqouia in early (from my lease) and have come running back to a 2005 LC (over the new Land Rover). Love the additional features (back up camera is neat). Maintains the sturdy/smooth/fit-finish qualities that I missed but I was somewhat disappointed in not updating some of the annoying features (like the bulky way in folding the 3rd seats). All in all, I will not make the same mistake again. Landcruiser for life.
It's worth more now. Wouldn't sell it. The Best.

You can feel it all around you as you drive the smoothest roads, lurking behind the mannered response is the beast that this truck is when you need it. It's the redundancy, the layers beneath what is visible to the naked eye that allows this transportation machine to perform at the highest of levels in the worst of conditions. When your life is on the line, you really feel it. Take comfort in knowing that your truck is engineered to outpace any other commercially available option on the market. Factory to snowstorm or sandstorm or rockpile, it's better than the rest. Period. If you make your friends buy the beer when you pull their Hummers out of the snowbank, you'll make up for the extra money you spend on gas. I had to travel for work last week when the snow hit. Knowing that my wife had the Land Cruiser to drive helped me to sleep on my flight to Hawaii.

These SUVs are incredible to drive, well-made and free of mechanical problems. I've never even had a shake, rattle, or roll in the two (new) I've owned. I can't say that about my past ownership of (new) Porsches, Corvettes, Mercedes, Fords, Chevys, VWs, Chryslers, or Pontiacs.
