When people say an SUV can do-it-all, they usually mean it does most things, and they ignore the ability to tow 8,200 pounds or the off-road prowess to conquer real trails. The 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser is one of the few old-school SUVs that can do more than most and in fairly good comfort, but it makes some compromises in some areas.
The Land Cruiser's suspension and traction control system can eke out grip on loose trails, and its V8 engine is responsive and hums quietly on the highway. But its main weakness are its small third row and cargo area and lack of modern infotainment tech and smartphone connectivity.

2018 Toyota Land Cruiser 4dr SUV 4WD (5.7L 8cyl 8A)
I have been reviewing the Land Cruiser for years because I have owned several dating back to the 1980s. They have changed over the years. They did not get better mechanically, but luxuriously. I believe they have been the best commercially produced vehicle on the market and remain so to this day. Why you ask. Most dependable. Ask any owner, not just me, they run forever, almost never … break down. In fact, the 5 I have owned never failed to proceed as my English friend would say. On some, I have put on as many as 300,000 miles and the vehicle is still going strong. In any weather condition, I wouldn't want any other vehicle. Flood, snow, high wind, mud, heat, cold. The traction is exceptional. It has the weight to keep you on the road. I have never been in a vehicle with better AC and I have been in vehicles that cost over $250.000.... not better maybe not even as good. Don't believe me... go to Florida or Texas in the summer ... rent the best Detroit has to offer ... then a Land Cruiser. You will find out in a hurry which is best. Go to Montana in the winter ... try all the all-wheel SUV's and you will discover very quickly the Land Cruiser beats them all HANDS DOWN. No, I don't own thousands of shares of stock in Toyota .... I own a Land Cruisers .... period.
Do I really need this capability?

2019 Toyota Land Cruiser 4dr SUV 4WD (5.7L 8cyl 8A)
After serving in the first Gulf War, and seeing 80 series LC everywhere overseas, I’ve wanted to own a Land Cruiser. Ubiquitous in remote and rugged underdeveloped countries, I loved the idea of a truly off-road reliable vehicle. I finally decided to get one. Price was good $8,000 off the MSRP on a new one. I had to ask myself: do I need this? No, but it sure is fun and I love it more … everyday! Drives great, handles better than you'd expect. Comfortable and unmatched off-road as an unmodified vehicle. And it's solid as a rock! After much research I’ve found it is over-engineered to last in these rugged, remote areas. Most vehicles are designed for a 10 year life cycle, the Land Cruiser is reportedly designed for a 25 year cycle. And, with only ~3000 sold in the USA annually they hold their value well. Now discontinued in the U.S. and rumoured to be arriving 2024 in a twin-turbo form, I am glad I have a reliable, less complex but powerful V-8.
Update: looks like Toyota will stop importing the (large) Land Cruiser after 2021. The 300 series will appear only in Lexus form—Toyota gets the smaller version overseas known as the Prado. I will be hanging on to my rock-solid, bullet-proof Toyota! And, after almost six years, it continues to perform flawlessly.
2023 update: no issues. Solid as a bank vault. But, with the crazy prices in the used car market all Land Cruiser prices are going crazy. I see low mileage examples like mine going for $30,000 more than I paid. Crazy! I should sell but it can’t be replaced!!
STILL THE BEST BY FAR!!!!!

2020 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition 4dr SUV 4WD (5.7L 8cyl 8A)
We just picked up our second LC, and I'd love to tell you why. Compared to the other vehicles my spouse and I have owned (MB, Infiniti, Audi, BMW, Porsche, and other Toyota's) the LC is still our favorite. The first one we bought was a 100 series, and it was amazing to drive. It was everything you'd expect from and LC. Smooth, easy to drive, spacious with unmatched reliability. When … we finally sold it the vehicle had around 150,000 miles on it, and it felt like it was just breaking in.
This new LC HE we just bought reminds us so much of why we loved the first one, as well as why we were very happy to buy the exact model of a car we owned in the past for the very first time. With the updated interior and exterior, the LC feels very much so more modernized while still being the SUV we feel in love with years ago.
Don't get me wrong, as it's not as smooth or polished to drive as the MB. It's not nearly as fast as the BMW. It's clearly not as exciting to drive as the Porsche, but that's not the point of the LC. The LC gives you a VERY high-end driving experience that will remain the same enjoyable and dependable ride for 300,000+ miles. None of our others cars could ever come close to that except of course for the other LC. It's reliability is truly unmatched in the industry as the car is so over engineered (hence the $$$), and it was done so deliberately.
The LC is not a perfect vehicle as the gas mileage alone will keep you working until your late 70's, but it's nice to know when you drive to the store your 20 year old plus SUV will get you there in understated and reliable style.
8 years strong

2018 Toyota Land Cruiser 4dr SUV 4WD (5.7L 8cyl 8A)
we bought an LC after seeing all the problems and costs associated with other SUV’s. We also considered that we might “never sell” and drive it until it stops running. While we regularly service the car, literally thats all we do. Gas milage not great, but we burn maybe 1000 gallons/yr, so more efficent but same sized SUVs might save 2-300 gallons, at best. One major repair soaks up … any of that savings. The ride is comfortable and powerful, the trim sturdy. We like things simple and reliable, and the LC fits that to a T. Everyone complains about the rear seats folding up, but we like the ease of use and we still hauled two kids to sleep away camp, trucks/duffels and all. We have almost 150k miles and except for some minor wear, it feels and looks “lightly driven”. We might keep it and see if we can get 500k miles out of her, but the new ones certainly look good!
