My friends mom bought a land cruiser back when I was in 4th grade and she still drives it...I'm 23 now and It still looks new. Those things are incredible.
I love this, perfect first-hand knowledge of longevity. My rig is the same age and I bought it from the original owner last year, people are shocked when they learn its not new and has a quarter of a million miles on the odometer.

The fact you found a land cruiser for $2100 bucks is simply a miracle. Where I live people usually don’t sell under $10k, no matter how many miles are on them.
Chris Moodie dont see many of those as they arent very practical, but its likely. The Prados are actually just as sought after, i have a 90 series Prado thats actually increased in value since ive had it by $6,000

His first Cruiser video came out right in the middle of my search last year and I was worried, but there's already so much competition for these things, especially the Land Cruiser version, that if its a good one it will be gone within a couple of days of listing. People on the forums have cash in hand and are ready to buy plane tickets to go view some rigs. I personally took 4-months to find a good one because they either all had rusty undercarriages (ALWAYS check this in pics first) or simply disappeared by the time I got on the phone. It will be the best decision you will ever make however.

I got a 1948 Ford sedan for $250. It was abandoned by my neighbours a year ago. Still runs and drives properly and gets a lot of attention in a Japanese neighbourhood.
Based on your advice I did buy one! We needed more room for a family vehicle and actually go off road quite often. So far it has been amazing! I just had he T-belt, some gaskets and plugs done. Now it’s time for some fun modifications. Thanks for the sound advice!!
Tyler I have to agree with you on your experience with your 2003 BMW X5. I have one with 175,000 miles and it is eating my lunch. Over the last 2 years I've sunk close to $12 K on repairs with the transfer case being the most expensive at $5K. I cry when I write the checks to pay the bills but I gotta tell you to me it's worth it. It's drives and rides great and doesn't look like a 16 year old car. Early on when the repairs started adding up I should have unloaded this baby and got a Land Cruiser. Great video!
My company had them in the Sahara desert. 4.2 Liter engine 120 horsepower. The engines were unbreakable if you do regular oil change. The roads were so bad and the people driving like crazy, so the cars were gone after only 500.000 km. On asphalt they would surely last more than a million.
@@user-oq3lv6lv7x my point, in response to the OP (in other words) : one can't just buy a brand with a "good reputation" and expect no serious problems
Hands down, my 2000 TLC was the best vehicle I have ever owned - paid $50k in Oct 2000, paid it off in 48 months, owned it as my DD for 12 yrs (125k miles), and sold it for $18k in late 2012... outside of tires, brakes pads and normal scheduled maintenance items, never had an issue.... wasn’t ever seriously off-roaded, but did do suburban-country chores such as tow my SO’s horses to regional show jumping events, towed trailered snowmobiles and ATVs and on rare occasions, was called upon to perform trail-recovery duty for various neighbors and acquaintances who were the unfortunate owners of non-TLC 4x4 vehicles
That is one stunning house you got there, Tyler. Wouldn't mind living in Kansas! Here in the Netherlands a house like that would cost many, many millions of euro's. The annual taxes would make a grown man puke on the spot. Love your channel, keep up the great work. Always fun to tune into your endeavours!
Great vehicles - for the past 15 years, I've only bought pre-owned vehicles and that's when I quickly learned to stick with Lexus/Toyota. They hold their value very well, are highly capable and extremely reliable. Currently I've got an LX 570 as my daily driver - plenty of room for the kids and their friends or their sports gear - very comfortable, good tech features and in a few years when I've got an empty nest, I'll probably get a used RCF as a daily driver and keep the LX for weekend fun and do all the stupid things like rock sliders, bull bumper, winch, etc.
@@luxcruisers7870 - Oh yeah - that LC is nice. I had an ISF, but it was too small for my kids' hockey bags. Unfortunately my 2014 LX was destroyed in a pileup accident on the freeway - (nobody injured), so I picked up another 2014 that only had 25k miles on it - for not much more than what the insurance company gave me for the wrecked one with 65k miles on it. That they're built so well and are such capable vehicles is the only way we can make plans for a vehicle more than just a couple years out.
Buying a used Lexus is the way to go, reliability isn’t a concern so buying brand new or needing a warranty isn’t really a concern, let it depreciate and buy when it’s a couple years old. I’m on my third and have never had car problems ever. And I have coworkers having car problems with half as many miles
Might want to rule out late 90s to early 2000s Rav4s, and Corollas...motors in both were known to be crap,trans in Rav4s were garbage. Also I'll throw in the one time use valve cover bolts on v6 Camrys and solaras of same era
I’m currently driving a leased Audi Q5, but absolutely don’t want to own it long term - have spent the last few weeks looking at a highlander as its eventual replacement. My previous car was an 07 Camry that has 300k on the clock and is still being driven around the neighborhood - Toyota’s are amazing vehicles.
If you're looking on the used market, definitely check out the first gen Highlander. Not too sure about the longevity of 2019 model, but its due for a refresh soon. My parents gave me the old family 04 Highlander as my first car, still going strong with over 310,000km and my mom upgraded to a 2017 Volvo XC90, and boy does she regret that. Less than 30,000km on the Volvo and its been in the shop almost as many times as the Highlander has had over the years for routine maintenance.
Ryan C I’ve got 18mo on the Audi, so it’ll be a 2020 or 2021, or maybe a certified pre-owned - not looking for older I don’t believe, but not ruling it out
@@peeceejay The current Highlander is outdated compared to the competition, but they're still flying off the lots and year over year sales continue to grow. I can't imagine the sales it'll get after a redesign. Chances are, you'll probably pay well over MSRP. From second gen on I believe production of the Highlander was brought over to Indiana compared to the first gen which was produced in Japan preaching lean manufacturing to a tee with its Kaizen quality.
Toyota is the best car company ever. Made to last, Cheap parts. You can beat these things to the ground and they will out last any German made car. We hype up BMW, Mercedes wayy too much. Funny thing is Toyota is made here in the US, it's more american then some of these American companies.
@@trek3792 I own an LX 470 and have had a couple Mercedes and still own a '62 220se coupe. While, yes, both will last, the Toyota will do it for a fraction of the cost and time laid up. I've put $25,000 in the Benz in 5-years, the LX had one brake failure induced by a shop, otherwise it's just maintenance.
Yeah and people like you need to stop following the Toyota cult. Yes Toyotas are generally reliable but you guys need to stop worshipping them as indestructible vehicles that will outlive anything else. Because the truth is that even Toyotas have their fare share of of faults and problems. My VW outlived my mates Yaris for instance
totoIV lol there's literal statistic that show it cost 4x more to maintain a BMW or Mercedes. On average it cost $4k for Toyota, on average $16k to 18k for BMW and Mercedes. Not cult simple common sense
My dad owns a 1999 Land Cruiser GX.R with straight 6 engine. It have done more than 200,000 KM's and it's been pretty reliable. More reliable than my 2002 RAV4 which's saying something. Land Cruisers are one of my favorite SUV's IMO.
Currently have my mom's old first gen 2004 Highlander with over 310,000km as my first car. No major problems and a capable soft-roader. Would love to upgrade to a land cruiser one day but those things are much more expensive, hard to find second hand (especially in Canada) and don't get as good fuel economy as the Highlander.
That is a beautiful truck and I'm not even really into trucks. Hardly any mechanical issues with that many miles is amazing. Toyota should use this video for advertising.
My parent's 1999 LX has 75,000 miles on it and has been to the shop for any issue whatsoever besides routine maintenance. It is a tank and I can not think of a better suv.
Both my landcruiser 80 series had over 500k miles before I sold them , both are still running strong from what I hear ! Most reliable toughest vehicles ever !!
I daily drive a 1995 FZJ80 with 203k miles everyday...its literally the best vehicle ever made. Stay up to date on regular maintenance items such as belts, diff oils, oil changes, and replacing old coolant hoses as needed and you're grandkids can have your LC in 20 years.
Congrats Hoovie! Still love that LC, I remember when you posted a year ago when you just got her. Landcruiser's are the best, my 96 LX450 has needed next to nothing over our last 12 years of ownership! Let me know if you need a place to dump that rooftop tent...my LX wouldn't mind carrying it around the trails, lol! Best of luck in the new house and congrats again. Stay warm :)
Excellent! I bought a 00' LX470 last summer, and it's been the best car I've owned even though it's one of the oldest. Funny enough, my only regret is paying a relative premium to buy one with low miles of 115k. Really not as necessary here as with other cars. Bumper, Rock Sliders, and Rear Bumper are next.
Avoid the "Toyota Tax"! A new Land Cruiser is $76K while an Escalade is $64K on cars.com. While a 2009 with less than150,000 miles the LC is $26K and a Escalade is $17K. A new LX570 3-row is $92K while a 2009 is $27K. So the LC drops $50K and the Escalade only drops $48K. Toyota LC is not luxurious and should not have that depreciation compared to another luxury marque.the LX is more like a luxury vehicle in it’s high depreciation of $65 in the last decade.
@@normt5463 I got a fair deal but prices here in the PNW are higher for these than most other places aside from maybe Texas since we don't salt the roads here and it never gets too hot so cars stay pristine. I was prepared to pay about $4,000 more in this condition. Owning and driving a 100-series has little to do with money and everything to do with the experience. My 11.3 mpg average does sip some more cash from the wallet however. I use it as my daily.
that's us, sometimes unlucky can't find a parking at CBD as parking space are so small just enough to fit a tiny car, and we have to remove the giant roof rack just to fit the limited height at mall parking.
no, really just reliability and mass production. they’re not really that luxurious compared to lincoln, cadillac, and german brands. and they aren’t really that focused on fast cars
Remy Fagerstrom Bullshit, Lexus are just as luxurious as the European makes, and even the current models of Camrys and Corollas are very luxurious. European cars are overpriced, unreliable shitboxes that cost a bomb to buy and own.
I purchased my Landcruiser new in 1998 and have only 94,322 miles so far.Aside from regular fluid changes and brakes, literally the only thing that has broken on the truck was the D bulb by the stick shift indicator for drive.It doesn’t light up anymore .Thats it.Its one incredible vehicle.....

People find awesome deals for high priced cars all the time, doesn't mean that's what its worth. A Cadillac Escalade is a plastic abortion and doesn't compare to other luxury vehicles very well. Doug Demuro did a video a few months ago demonstrating how crappy the build quality is with it creaking and rattling. Nobody cross shops a Land Cruiser and an Escalade. One is a high quality offroad tank, the other is an expensive chevy tahoe in a tuxedo.
@@normt5463 Toyota Land cruiser vx limited diesel is more expensive than the basic one. Ours, if we buy this brand new 2018/2019 model it will cost us NZ$126,000 plus on road charge.
@@normt5463 your kidding right? Escalades value drops faster than my grades. The reason why the LX and Landcruiser hold their value better is because of the notorious reliability they are known for.

Tom Hill it was an 08 is250 AWD was my wife’s for 5 years but I drove it quite a bit. My car was a 07 Camry hybrid that I also regret getting rid of waaaaaay tooo soon
3 things to clear up: 1. a Land Cruiser is a 4wd (or 4x4) not an SUV 2. a snorkel doesn't just raise the air intake level so you get cleaner air, a properly fitted snorkel also prevents water ingress into your engine when driving through deeper water, does not stop water from getting into the cabin. 3. That big thing on the front is actually not called a bumper bar, that is infact called a bull bar. 300,000 mile on a petrol is really good but is just being run in on a diesel engine
The first gen Toyota Highlander is also another reliable SUV that will get you better mpg. For most people, it'll get the job done and it's a decent soft-roader. The Highlander ranked the highest in terms of original owners keeping their car for more than 15 years. 18.3% of Highlanders 15 years or older are still being driven by their original owners! The Land Cruiser surprisingly isn't on the list, probably due to the low number they sell in the US and its thriving second-hand and export market. www.thedrive.com/sheetmetal/17512/here-are-the-top-15-cars-people-keep-for-15-years-or-more
Hey my 02 X5 has 250K on it with pretty much no major issues, however its been babied and garaged by my family since new! Wouldn't trade it for the world! Great video hoovie!
I use a 1983 FJ40 Cruiser as my work van, she gets everywhere, and never misses a beat. Most people ou there use Cruisers. They're just brilliant work horses and off-roaders.

No, a snorkel is used for water. Partially the reason why it's called snorkel. It's just when you go in water Crossings are supposed to do it fluently and surely. Newer landcruisers like those aren't really meant to be seeing heavy off-road terrains. They have too much to electronic gizmos and gadgets that are really expensive to replace. Suggest getting an older vehicle with manual labor. PS. From someone who's done water crossing before I highly do not recommend it because it's a pain in the butt to maintenance parts. Water will get into almost everything. I had water squirting out of my manual transmission stick and my 4 wheel drive transfer case
I pulled my friends 2017 TRD Pro tacoma out of a mud pit that my rusty, stock, 97 lx450 with 27 inch street tires drove right through lol. 278xxx miles and still runs like a champ
I used to travel from city to city taking pictures for Bing.com and I drove a 99' Beetle TDI and I also had a roof tent. I slept at Walmart, Lowes and Home Depot at night. Best time I had in my life, except getting harassed by cops every other night. I Loved that tent!
If you guys in the US want to see the better off road version. ( which I don't think is sold in too may country's) I have only seen them in Australia the middle East and Africa that I know off is the Troopie short for Troop carrier, The Wagon, the Ute short for utility and the duel cab Ute. In Australia they are called the 70 series( The one in the video would be called a 200 series in Aus). When I bought my 79 series it came with the Toyota Factory invoice and in Japan there called the Military LC. They now come with factory diff locks second long range fuel tank, snorkel as stranded. There tougher (in my opinion) then the 200 series but cruder. www.toyota.com.au/main/landcruiser-70
Yeah, it seems a bit weird. But I think the main point of the video was just the absurd mileage on it. Even though he hasn’t used it too much, the fact that it’s still going flawlessly at it’s current mileage is the main point I guess
I have had my Landcruiser for 17 years, bought it brand new. My all in cost including all maintenance, tires, original price paid...everything except gas, totals about $3700 per year and going down every year. 253k miles on the odometer and I'll never get rid of this rig, I'll probably buy a new one and keep this for future grandkids

I got a 1948 Ford sedan for $250. It was abandoned by my neighbours a year ago. Still runs and drives properly and gets a lot of attention in a Japanese neighbourhood.
Based on your advice I did buy one! We needed more room for a family vehicle and actually go off road quite often. So far it has been amazing! I just had he T-belt, some gaskets and plugs done. Now it’s time for some fun modifications. Thanks for the sound advice!!
Hoovie! Your videos make my day! I have a 2000 LX470 with 300K miles on it and still going strong! Keep up the great work my friend!
How many years did your car warranty expire? Is it ok for driving a car without warranty?
Tyler I have to agree with you on your experience with your 2003 BMW X5. I have one with 175,000 miles and it is eating my lunch. Over the last 2 years I've sunk close to $12 K on repairs with the transfer case being the most expensive at $5K. I cry when I write the checks to pay the bills but I gotta tell you to me it's worth it. It's drives and rides great and doesn't look like a 16 year old car. Early on when the repairs started adding up I should have unloaded this baby and got a Land Cruiser. Great video!
Yeah you should get rid of it ...
in London we call them Chelsea Tractors. Off road capable luxury vehicles that just get used to go shopping in expensive west end stores
In Australia we have a similar term: Toorak Tractors.
Chelsea/Toorak tractors are more specifically Range Rover Vogues.
@@timfreeman2603 Yup. Or Evoques and especially those ridiculous convertible Evoques.
BIFFY425
.
My company had them in the Sahara desert. 4.2 Liter engine 120 horsepower. The engines were unbreakable if you do regular oil change. The roads were so bad and the people driving like crazy, so the cars were gone after only 500.000 km. On asphalt they would surely last more than a million.
Toyota, because paying for it once is cheaper.
So true.
Well said.
Except for my 4 cyl with a blown head gasket at 120K miles. Toyota doesn't have a totally clean slate! (2AZ-FE engine...)
thooke222 okay your point? every vehicle has their strengths and weaknesses. Exactly why toyota stepped up and introduced the 2.5
@@user-oq3lv6lv7x my point, in response to the OP (in other words) : one can't just buy a brand with a "good reputation" and expect no serious problems
Hands down, my 2000 TLC was the best vehicle I have ever owned - paid $50k in Oct 2000, paid it off in 48 months, owned it as my DD for 12 yrs (125k miles), and sold it for $18k in late 2012... outside of tires, brakes pads and normal scheduled maintenance items, never had an issue.... wasn’t ever seriously off-roaded, but did do suburban-country chores such as tow my SO’s horses to regional show jumping events, towed trailered snowmobiles and ATVs and on rare occasions, was called upon to perform trail-recovery duty for various neighbors and acquaintances who were the unfortunate owners of non-TLC 4x4 vehicles
I got one. Best vehicle I've ever owned.
That is one stunning house you got there, Tyler. Wouldn't mind living in Kansas! Here in the Netherlands a house like that would cost many, many millions of euro's. The annual taxes would make a grown man puke on the spot.
Love your channel, keep up the great work. Always fun to tune into your endeavours!
as a fellow Dutch person i can confirm that
Yes. Houses are really expensive in the Netherlands.
All fake. None of it real. All of a simulation. Wake up.
Not only in the Netherlands! I live near Washington, D.C. and oh my would a home like that be pricey!!
It's the cheapest nice home in north America.
Great vehicles - for the past 15 years, I've only bought pre-owned vehicles and that's when I quickly learned to stick with Lexus/Toyota. They hold their value very well, are highly capable and extremely reliable. Currently I've got an LX 570 as my daily driver - plenty of room for the kids and their friends or their sports gear - very comfortable, good tech features and in a few years when I've got an empty nest, I'll probably get a used RCF as a daily driver and keep the LX for weekend fun and do all the stupid things like rock sliders, bull bumper, winch, etc.
Perfect plan man, LX 470 owner here, and I love the RCF too! An LC would be my dream car in that Structural Blue color.
@@luxcruisers7870 - Oh yeah - that LC is nice. I had an ISF, but it was too small for my kids' hockey bags. Unfortunately my 2014 LX was destroyed in a pileup accident on the freeway - (nobody injured), so I picked up another 2014 that only had 25k miles on it - for not much more than what the insurance company gave me for the wrecked one with 65k miles on it.
That they're built so well and are such capable vehicles is the only way we can make plans for a vehicle more than just a couple years out.
Buying a used Lexus is the way to go, reliability isn’t a concern so buying brand new or needing a warranty isn’t really a concern, let it depreciate and buy when it’s a couple years old. I’m on my third and have never had car problems ever. And I have coworkers having car problems with half as many miles
Hands down Toyota makes the most reliable cars in the world. I'm saving up to get their Lexus super sports car.
Which car are you saving up for?
I pray you never get tht money!
Might want to rule out late 90s to early 2000s Rav4s, and Corollas...motors in both were known to be crap,trans in Rav4s were garbage. Also I'll throw in the one time use valve cover bolts on v6 Camrys and solaras of same era

I’m currently driving a leased Audi Q5, but absolutely don’t want to own it long term - have spent the last few weeks looking at a highlander as its eventual replacement. My previous car was an 07 Camry that has 300k on the clock and is still being driven around the neighborhood - Toyota’s are amazing vehicles.
If you're looking on the used market, definitely check out the first gen Highlander. Not too sure about the longevity of 2019 model, but its due for a refresh soon. My parents gave me the old family 04 Highlander as my first car, still going strong with over 310,000km and my mom upgraded to a 2017 Volvo XC90, and boy does she regret that. Less than 30,000km on the Volvo and its been in the shop almost as many times as the Highlander has had over the years for routine maintenance.
Ryan C I’ve got 18mo on the Audi, so it’ll be a 2020 or 2021, or maybe a certified pre-owned - not looking for older I don’t believe, but not ruling it out
@@peeceejay The current Highlander is outdated compared to the competition, but they're still flying off the lots and year over year sales continue to grow. I can't imagine the sales it'll get after a redesign. Chances are, you'll probably pay well over MSRP.
From second gen on I believe production of the Highlander was brought over to Indiana compared to the first gen which was produced in Japan preaching lean manufacturing to a tee with its Kaizen quality.
Toyota is the best car company ever. Made to last, Cheap parts. You can beat these things to the ground and they will out last any German made car. We hype up BMW, Mercedes wayy too much.
Funny thing is Toyota is made here in the US, it's more american then some of these American companies.
As a current and soon to be former Mercedes owner I agree. The Land Cruiser is made in Japan tho.
old mercs will last just as long as toyota will
@@trek3792 I own an LX 470 and have had a couple Mercedes and still own a '62 220se coupe. While, yes, both will last, the Toyota will do it for a fraction of the cost and time laid up. I've put $25,000 in the Benz in 5-years, the LX had one brake failure induced by a shop, otherwise it's just maintenance.
Yeah and people like you need to stop following the Toyota cult. Yes Toyotas are generally reliable but you guys need to stop worshipping them as indestructible vehicles that will outlive anything else. Because the truth is that even Toyotas have their fare share of of faults and problems. My VW outlived my mates Yaris for instance
totoIV lol there's literal statistic that show it cost 4x more to maintain a BMW or Mercedes. On average it cost $4k for Toyota, on average $16k to 18k for BMW and Mercedes. Not cult simple common sense
My dad owns a 1999 Land Cruiser GX.R with straight 6 engine. It have done more than 200,000 KM's and it's been pretty reliable. More reliable than my 2002 RAV4 which's saying something.
Land Cruisers are one of my favorite SUV's IMO.
I have about 370,000km on my 99 4Runner before rust ate away at it. Everything else was perfect. Your Cruiser will last another 200,000 no sweat.
@@DavidELD 600,000km here :D
I have a ford explorer 2007 looks good and the size is perfect but shitty reliability with ONLY 188 thousand km
Currently have my mom's old first gen 2004 Highlander with over 310,000km as my first car. No major problems and a capable soft-roader. Would love to upgrade to a land cruiser one day but those things are much more expensive, hard to find second hand (especially in Canada) and don't get as good fuel economy as the Highlander.
That is a beautiful truck and I'm not even really into trucks. Hardly any mechanical issues with that many miles is amazing. Toyota should use this video for advertising.
Their million mile tundra was impressive. Shows the value of regular maintenance.
My dream car is a new 2019 tacoma looks amazing i love mid-size pickup trucks or SUVs
@Dylan Morgan im not talking about hoovies land cruiser. Nothing is impressive about a 300k lc, those are everywhere
@Dylan Morgan He paid $2100 for it and spent the rest on upgrades!
My parent's 1999 LX has 75,000 miles on it and has been to the shop for any issue whatsoever besides routine maintenance. It is a tank and I can not think of a better suv.
It has 75,000 miles. They don’t drive it... I would expect it to be like that lmao where were you trying to go with that?
CPARK5511. Type O !!!
I did that in 1 year with a BMW 3 series, nothing special. If you add a 0 to that number that would be special

I daily drive a 1995 FZJ80 with 203k miles everyday...its literally the best vehicle ever made. Stay up to date on regular maintenance items such as belts, diff oils, oil changes, and replacing old coolant hoses as needed and you're grandkids can have your LC in 20 years.

Let me know if you need a place to dump that rooftop tent...my LX wouldn't mind carrying it around the trails, lol! Best of luck in the new house and congrats again. Stay warm :)
Why on earth did u buy a tent? Huge car, plenty sleeping room in car! 🤦🏼♂️
Excellent! I bought a 00' LX470 last summer, and it's been the best car I've owned even though it's one of the oldest. Funny enough, my only regret is paying a relative premium to buy one with low miles of 115k. Really not as necessary here as with other cars.
Bumper, Rock Sliders, and Rear Bumper are next.
I got mine last summer at 249,000 miles!
Avoid the "Toyota Tax"!
A new Land Cruiser is $76K while an Escalade is $64K on cars.com. While a 2009 with less than150,000 miles the LC is $26K and a Escalade is $17K. A new LX570 3-row is $92K while a 2009 is $27K.
So the LC drops $50K and the Escalade only drops $48K. Toyota LC is not luxurious and should not have that depreciation compared to another luxury marque.the LX is more like a luxury vehicle in it’s high depreciation of $65 in the last decade.
@@luxcruisers7870 probably over paid too?!
@@normt5463 I got a fair deal but prices here in the PNW are higher for these than most other places aside from maybe Texas since we don't salt the roads here and it never gets too hot so cars stay pristine. I was prepared to pay about $4,000 more in this condition. Owning and driving a 100-series has little to do with money and everything to do with the experience. My 11.3 mpg average does sip some more cash from the wallet however. I use it as my daily.
Mall Crawlers: people who own SUVs or giant 4x4 vehicles then “crawl” over the speed bumps at the mall.
that's us, sometimes unlucky can't find a parking at CBD as parking space are so small just enough to fit a tiny car, and we have to remove the giant roof rack just to fit the limited height at mall parking.
I thought I was alone in thinking this was strange and I'd be driving 70 mph over those speed bumps if I had an SUV!!

@@normt5463 actually the LC starts at $85,000. Gauging car value by a seller on cars.com isn't how you judge a value of a vehicle. People find awesome deals for high priced cars all the time, doesn't mean that's what its worth. A Cadillac Escalade is a plastic abortion and doesn't compare to other luxury vehicles very well. Doug Demuro did a video a few months ago demonstrating how crappy the build quality is with it creaking and rattling. Nobody cross shops a Land Cruiser and an Escalade. One is a high quality offroad tank, the other is an expensive chevy tahoe in a tuxedo.

@@normt5463 your kidding right? Escalades value drops faster than my grades. The reason why the LX and Landcruiser hold their value better is because of the notorious reliability they are known for.

3 things to clear up:
1. a Land Cruiser is a 4wd (or 4x4) not an SUV
2. a snorkel doesn't just raise the air intake level so you get cleaner air, a properly fitted snorkel also prevents water ingress into your engine when driving through deeper water, does not stop water from getting into the cabin.
3. That big thing on the front is actually not called a bumper bar, that is infact called a bull bar.
300,000 mile on a petrol is really good but is just being run in on a diesel engine
That “just in time” production has been around since the 1970s
The first gen Toyota Highlander is also another reliable SUV that will get you better mpg. For most people, it'll get the job done and it's a decent soft-roader. The Highlander ranked the highest in terms of original owners keeping their car for more than 15 years. 18.3% of Highlanders 15 years or older are still being driven by their original owners! The Land Cruiser surprisingly isn't on the list, probably due to the low number they sell in the US and its thriving second-hand and export market.

Talking about warped rotors, that's the only problem I have with my lx470. 😂
No, a snorkel is used for water. Partially the reason why it's called snorkel. It's just when you go in water Crossings are supposed to do it fluently and surely. Newer landcruisers like those aren't really meant to be seeing heavy off-road terrains. They have too much to electronic gizmos and gadgets that are really expensive to replace. Suggest getting an older vehicle with manual labor.
PS. From someone who's done water crossing before I highly do not recommend it because it's a pain in the butt to maintenance parts. Water will get into almost everything. I had water squirting out of my manual transmission stick and my 4 wheel drive transfer case

If you guys in the US want to see the better off road version. ( which I don't think is sold in too may country's) I have only seen them in Australia the middle East and Africa that I know off is the Troopie short for Troop carrier, The Wagon, the Ute short for utility and the duel cab Ute. In Australia they are called the 70 series( The one in the video would be called a 200 series in Aus). When I bought my 79 series it came with the Toyota Factory invoice and in Japan there called the Military LC. They now come with factory diff locks second long range fuel tank, snorkel as stranded. There tougher (in my opinion) then the 200 series but cruder. www.toyota.com.au/main/landcruiser-70
Considering he drove for about 2000 miles, that one year report is kinda weird. The car probably sat around for thе 11 out of the 12 months ?
jazko: Too true - it might be more accurate to reticle the video so as to be the 2 months worth of driving 1yr review
Yeah, it seems a bit weird. But I think the main point of the video was just the absurd mileage on it. Even though he hasn’t used it too much, the fact that it’s still going flawlessly at it’s current mileage is the main point I guess
