Okay I have had 3 Toyota Land Cruiser 1) 1999 2) 2007 3) 2014 I still own all 3 and it is the best car you can ever buy. If you're thinking about buying a new or used one no matter how old or new BUY IT!!!!
Land Cruisers are nice. I had a chance to ride in one and it does feel luxury, even though it’s not a Lexus. The best part is they are built in Japan. People complain that’s it outdated but in reality it’s a good investment. They are extremely reliable and well built. Not to mention the resale value.
Thank you for this. It's a great insight for someone who's seriously looking at buying one and I believe you are the first and only one who's done this at this stage 👍
J High lol. I bought it brand new in 2009. In my country it costs $130.000,- due to ridiculous import taxes. I wasn't making fun of people with old cars. I was making a point that people who obviously aren't in the market for these cars keep hating on it. People just hate what they don't understand. the fact that you're comparing a landcruiser to a navigator proves you know nothing about cars.
As the refreshed 200 has not arrived within a reasonable driving distance from my residence--Mike, your video has satisfied an otherwise incessant curiosity. Thank you Mike. Really thorough and done very well. In fact, it is not too much of a stretch to surmise that your breakdown is the very best in-depth video covering the North American model presently available online.
I can forgive if not being the peak of luxury knowing it's capabilities and true 25+ year service life. Nothing as well built and reliable as a land cruiser.
+Lathan Starnes You're getting Toyota reliability but you're paying Infiniti QX80 price for it. I don't see why this would be over $50k, let alone the QX80's price range of 80k.
+Adam Hickman A Land Cruiser is a much more reliable, capable, and valuable vehicle than a QX80 or anything from NIssan (Infiniti). Not sure where you're getting your info.
+Adam Hickman Well... look at the comparable vehicles. A Range Rover has less off road substance than this and is more expensive. The Mercedes G Wagon is smaller and less tech sophisticated and is also far more expensive. I don't know how much it costs them to make this thing, but it seems very well priced for what you're getting.
Not really. Texas is the most industrialized state in the Southern US, unless you count Florida which is a whole different story. But anyways, I don't feel like arguing with someone who calls other people white trash for stating facts supported by the majority of scientists. You are now dismissed.
Cole Tominelli I conveyed the term white trash by my white colleagues (software engineer) to describe you and your assertion. People like you troll the internet for bias views that support your racist narrative. What have you personally contributed to society seeing as how you gain insight through shear osmosis due to the pigmentation of your skin? Lmao
I know this video had some value to you :) Please throw a few bucks in the tip jar to help me continue to make great content. Click here: www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=QU4BMMSE297KS
Great in depth review of the longest running Toyota, the legendary Toyota Land Cruiser!:) we own a 2003 Land Cruiser and it's still in mint shape even with a 125,000 miles. Also own a 2008 4Runner limited, in mint condition as well with lots of detail work every year of course!:)
Congratulations Mike! Excellent video i enjoyed very much so quite detailed, well presented and absolute free of unneeded substantial emotional comments. Puting things as they are is pure gold and i appreciate this more than everything else. Keep on that way.
Great review, thanks for uploading! I was considering one and loved the comfortable seats. However, I didn't like the way the 3rd row of seats stow away at the sides restricting luggage space. I know the Colorado has seats that fold into the floor but I actually plumped for a Land Rover Discovery instead! Very thorough review though!
These things look absolutely brilliant, but I'm sceptical that it will live up to the reliability of the old one due to all the electronics which seem to be standard on all modern cars. The old ones would go for 500K+ even in the brutal + heat of the middle east, or in the Far reaches of North Russia/Canada.
@Domino Cabanilla we have RAV4 but we don't have Land Cruiser. My friend friend from Montreal went to the States just to buy 2011 Toyota Land Cruiser. he was the only 1 that is driving Land Cruiser in his city. I love Land Cruiser.
Mike: A couple corrections. First, the switch with the little x in the center locks the center differential. The Land Cruiser does not come with locking front and rear differentials. If you want locking front and rear differentials, you'll need to go aftermarket -- ARB is what most people use. Also, the offroad turn assist has nothing to do with the power steering boost. When you are offroad and the center diff is locked, the front and rear driveshafts turn at the same speed. This makes it hard to turn. What the offroad turn assist does is it brakes the inside rear tire, to help you turn. See: ua-cam.com/video/vhFvUrTkrbY/v-deo.html
I don't get the "blankout" plates on the mirror control panel... what doesn't this Land Cruiser have? As far as I know, there's no additional options or packages for the Land Cruiser, so I don't understand why that panel isn't full of buttons. Otherwise, nice truck! (:
This 200 series is available in Australia for around $100,000 and has many features,s but there is one modification you cant do and thats fit larger tyres. Can go wider but not taller. Not many owners of these prestige vehicles want to take them off road. Better off buying a 100 or 80 series Landcruiser with the turbo diesel.
Thanks for a great walk around and through. Very helpful. One weird question: do you know if the radar cruise control interferes with radar detectors? Many new radar-based cruise controls and blind spot monitors use the K-band frequencies which are similar to police radar speed measurement devices and will confuse radar detectors both inside the vehicle as well as for nearby traffic. And for the benefit of others, this is a very rare vehicle to see new in the US market. By some estimates, more new Lamborghinis are sold per year than Land Cruisers. However, they are very popular in other markets worldwide because of their go anywhere capability and their bulletproof reliability. An apparently popular Australian saying goes along the lines of, "if you want to get there, take a Land Rover. If you want to get back, take a Land Cruiser."
Beast of a SUV, if you cannot get this buy the Lexus Lx570 or the Gx460 or Gx470 it will be the best money ever spent on a SUV, these vehicles reliability is so awesome they will last until the next generation in a family.
+Domino Cabanilla Thanks Domino! I am not familiar with Canadian options but I would assume it is available in Canada. There are many big differences... here is a quick side by side comparison of the two that might be helpful. www.truedelta.com/Toyota-4Runner/price-265/vs-Land-Cruiser-V8-269
In saudi arabia its most common vehicles, about every 500 meters you will find one whatever the model (v6 and v8 ) or year or the luxury version like lexus LX570 ,, but the downside of this is the price with uncomfortable long trip ,, in this price i can get yukon denali or even escalade
I got my 2016 VXR full option land cruiser for $79,000 Owner of: 2005 prado land cruser 2009 VXR land cuser 2011 GXR land cruser 2014 VXR land cruser 2015 VXR land cruser And 2016 VXR land cruser
Why do you need so many Land Cruisers? xD Why not sell the older ones and buy a Range Rover? I'm buying the VXR 2017 in a week or two. I don't know if I should get the 4.6L or 5.7L.
3bdulr7man als3eed I live in Dubai, and the showroom is pricing it at 317,500 AED for the 5.7L 2017 and 283,000 AED for the 4.6L. The 2016 ones with 0km are also available for 266,000 AED 4.6L and 293,000 AED for the 5.7L. What do you think?
Hi bro, are they really that good, I wanted to get a Chevrolet Suburban LTZ 2015 but I was told it cost a lot to repair and is not as reliable as one had hoped. I think Toyota has much better tech and design now. I want to put the sport into sport utility vehicle ;)
Okay I have had 3 Toyota Land Cruiser
1) 1999
2) 2007
3) 2014
I still own all 3 and it is the best car you can ever buy. If you're thinking about buying a new or used one no matter how old or new BUY IT!!!!
Also he said "awesome" wayyyyy too many times
can u pay one 447367282754
You right I have land cruiser 2014 Full option and it is extremely good what I can say
Wow u rich
All the best...

Thank you for this. It's a great insight for someone who's seriously looking at buying one and I believe you are the first and only one who's done this at this stage 👍
Check out all the haters with their 2001 ford explorer shitboxes hating on this amazing car. 😂
+Viren S lol
J High I already have a 2009
J High my landcruiser is worth more than your house. And who says I can't afford a new one?
J High lol. I bought it brand new in 2009. In my country it costs $130.000,- due to ridiculous import taxes. I wasn't making fun of people with old cars. I was making a point that people who obviously aren't in the market for these cars keep hating on it.

Has to be one of the clearest vids Ive seen a car review, definitely not a go pro. Great job and awesome ride!!

Excellent in-depth review. 10/10
What a beast
beautiful ride! just bought a 2015 4runner in white. this is like its big brother lol
Here in 2021, 5 years later and this LC is still just being broken in.
I love the way you explain this vehicle in DETAIL...well done..good job Sir
Best video in Automobile field seen yet :)
Keep up the Good work Brother :)
+Khan 25 Thank you :)
yes Friend ...very good demonstration ... very useful for the people who want to know about the coming latest features
best review ever, all your videos full of details
thanks man

+Lathan Starnes You're getting Toyota reliability but you're paying Infiniti QX80 price for it. I don't see why this would be over $50k, let alone the QX80's price range of 80k.
+Adam Hickman Should be $60k doesn't stop it from being the most well built and reliable vehicle money can buy.
+Adam Hickman A Land Cruiser is a much more reliable, capable, and valuable vehicle than a QX80 or anything from NIssan (Infiniti). Not sure where you're getting your info.
James M
I never said it wasn't. I just said it wasn't worth 80k.
+Adam Hickman Well... look at the comparable vehicles. A Range Rover has less off road substance than this and is more expensive.

Here in saudi 125k is nothing we have cars here that are 2016 with 300k kilometers
Thanks for the full review. thumbs up 👍👍
Very huge vehicle but damn this thing is so cool and rich of awesome features!
The best video I have ever seen. Thanks for your time.
this is awesome car....
I have 2014 model land cruiser. its awesome.
but waiting to buy this 2016 model. :)
Thanks for sharing the video...
It has that old school throwback design, but it works with this redesign. A good looking vehicle.
loaded to the max, legendary off road capability and toyota reliability. This car is worth every bit of money they ask for it.

Отлично засняли, подробно, спасибо. Другие даже капот не открыли.
Excellently done my friend, best 2016 land cruiser for the prospective buyer on the UA-cam. Keep these up brother!

Thanks Mike, very informative. Highly appreciated.
Great review, thanks for uploading! I was considering one and loved the comfortable seats. However, I didn't like the way the 3rd row of seats stow away at the sides restricting luggage space. I know the Colorado has seats that fold into the floor but I actually plumped for a Land Rover Discovery instead! Very thorough review though!
Nice one Mike! Very good quality SUV.
Great upload im still a kid when i grow up i buy that
oh what a feeling

Wow Amazing Monster
One of the best reviews I have seen after a very long time. It would be great if you can include some technical features too. Godo Job.
20:32 "a good place for things like business cards and parking tickets." 😂😂
These things look absolutely brilliant, but I'm sceptical that it will live up to the reliability of the old one due to all the electronics which seem to be standard on all modern cars.
The old ones would go for 500K+ even in the brutal + heat of the middle east, or in the Far reaches of North Russia/Canada.

Great video, thank you!
Great review Mike I want one!
Good review pretty much calm and well explained :)

Can someone bless me wit a vehicle like this . . I'm in love with these land cruisers
I would love to have one of these!
8 passenger?
Nice video. I love the land cruiser.
Hopefully someday, I will be able to buy this.
@Domino Cabanilla we have RAV4 but we don't have Land Cruiser. My friend friend from Montreal went to the States just to buy 2011 Toyota Land Cruiser. he was the only 1 that is driving Land Cruiser in his city. I love Land Cruiser.
We seem to speak in the same way. MikesCarInfo , keep up the good work
Very neat presentation 👏🏻
Dude i really enjoy ur reviews.
Very great full Toyota Landcruiser
its my dream car
Thanks for watching and your feedback :)
Quality Toyota, Luxury Range Rover
Serbischer Stolz I'll go with the quality
Mike. Those are not organizer pouches, those two poches in that bubble wrap is used to cover up the DVD entertainment screens. To keep out of sight.
+Kristoff Kristoffersun Ok thank you for the correction.
+MikesCarInfo No prob, I was at the dealership looking at one and seen the screen covered with the pouches
Awesome.
Handsome SUV Toyota Land Cruiser fantastic

They are for if the owner would like to add additional features to the car.
+Vincent D aux lights, winch, etc, virtually any accesory ...
This 200 series is available in Australia for around $100,000 and has many features,s but there is one modification you cant do and thats fit larger tyres. Can go wider but not taller. Not many owners of these prestige vehicles want to take them off road. Better off buying a 100 or 80 series Landcruiser with the turbo diesel.
+Steinwaygrande 80 is better, factory solid front and rear axles come in handy sometimes.
Thank you for the thorough review! Will you be doing the 2016 LX570 soon?
+SS K Not anytime soon... I don't have access to Lexus vehicles right now.

Best suv 🇺🇸👍my favorite
l like this car very much
I noted that the outside door handle appears to be the same as the one used on Subaru Forester!
Awesome 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
You the best
Lovely always I would love to be the owner for one these suv someday
It can be any years
If I'm not mistaken. Landcruisers. Are still assembled in Japan. While other Toyotas. Are assembled elsewhere.
Beast of a SUV, if you cannot get this buy the Lexus Lx570 or the Gx460 or Gx470 it will be the best money ever spent on a SUV, these vehicles reliability is so awesome they will last until the next generation in a family.

hi mike
would u pls compare the differences bw :
1-toyota land cruiser (vxs-vxr3 gxr)
2-toyota FJ cruiser
3- lexus lx 570
tnx
Mike, what is the big difference to 4Runner, are they selling these also here in Canada? I like on how you present all your videos...keep it up Mike!

In saudi arabia its most common vehicles, about every 500 meters you will find one whatever the model (v6 and v8 ) or year or the luxury version like lexus LX570 ,, but the downside of this is the price with uncomfortable long trip ,, in this price i can get yukon denali or even escalade

i like the video 📹
Good job @MikesCarInfo. Do a test drive also. What about Land Cruiser Prado?
I got my 2016 VXR full option land cruiser for $79,000
Owner of:
2005 prado land cruser
2009 VXR land cuser
2011 GXR land cruser
2014 VXR land cruser
2015 VXR land cruser
And 2016 VXR land cruser
Why do you need so many Land Cruisers? xD Why not sell the older ones and buy a Range Rover? I'm buying the VXR 2017 in a week or two. I don't know if I should get the 4.6L or 5.7L.
Frosticious You should get the 5.7L because it holds more value when you want to re-sell it later on but that is my opinion.
3bdulr7man als3eed I live in Dubai, and the showroom is pricing it at 317,500 AED for the 5.7L 2017 and 283,000 AED for the 4.6L. The 2016 ones with 0km are also available for 266,000 AED 4.6L and 293,000 AED for the 5.7L. What do you think?

toyota land cruiser is hardly mentioned when it comes to cars reviews i dnt know why
The covers are for the DVD player
I like this Land Cruiser 200 model more than Land Cruiser Prado.
awsm car
