    Landcruisers are built for a 25 year service life. This means it was designed to go 25 years with just routine maintenance. Also, they're made at the Tahara plant in Japan, where the Lexus LX (Lexus equivalent of the Landcruiser) is made, as well as various other Lexus models including the flagship LS500.

    It maybe "old school" but this will last longer than any Land Rover products! No air suspension to deal to deal with, no supercharger, a real 4 wheel drive system, and just being rare to see here in the U.S makes this more desirable to me. Thanks for another great video!

      Jeremy Jeremy Well, you want to talk about expensive? The LC cost 84k in the US, on my country it cost 149k and still is a good seller because a lot of the people who can afford this kind of prices prefer it over any German, British (Indian) or US brand car. Of course we have more options here, we can have the 5.7 Gas V8 but the most populars are the 4,2 in-line six single turbo diesel Intercooled and the 4,5 Twin turbo diesel V8. There is a saying here about The Land Cruiser “ for those who do not change with successful” talking about the pretenders who drive a Range Rover or similar just to look fancy or rich even when we all know it will broke down in a short while and will have almost zero resale value after a few years.

      Keynesian Economics on the current 2016+ yes the approach/departure angles are worse. 2008-2015 LX’s, the approach/departure angles are the same or better due to AHC. Wheels are easily swapped out for 18” Tundra or 200 series LC wheels. After that you have a vehicle which is equally as capable as a 200 series but with a nicer interior. Additionally all 2008+ LX’s have AHC which allows for an array of suspension settings from in the cab, the U.S. LC doesn’t get this. The majority of LX’s and LC’s sold in the U.S. aren’t used for exploring. There’s a fair amount of people who buy an LX secondhand in the U.S. for exploring due to availability. They sell more LX’s here than LC’s making them more abundant.
