I love Toyota Land Cruiser is great, confortable and durable truck

I love this Land Cruiser 85-88 is my favorites

That gas mileage is ridiculous tho. A hellcat gets better gas mileage than that

JHMBB2 From what I noticed, motor week tends to talk trash about most Japanese vehicles. Still I like the reviews they make :)

no kidding...side profile on this LC still looks fresh

Yeah, I think they have a bit of a domestic bias. You especially notice it in the '91 SUV comparo, how the hell is an S10 Blazer superior to a 4runner?

Quality changes everything, even taste.

Just hating on NON USDM stuff lol

wow. how many miles on it?

+Zee B He has over 350,000 miles on it.

+Donald Thompson very cool. Thanks for the quick reply!

I drive a 1985 jeep cj7 base model, 4 speed, inline six, every day since 2002, my dad drove it every day from the dealer to 2002

That's sick Leonardo there's a guy nears me who dailys a CJ I always see him with his son in the passenger seat it's gnarly.

KillinMachine damn

I have a 2005 Land Cruiser 120 Prado from new. It has 965,000 km's on the clock today. Only the transmission gave away 10k ago. And only due to harsh driving, heavy offroading, towing and carrying loads.

Anything that is on the market is dated. People use the term dated in a negative manner. If it lasts 35 years is was and is good

Also with minimal know how you could fix it while offroad.

I mean modern trucks can go off-road too

flight2k5 Not nearly as well as an old 4x4 SUV. New pickups are for the most part big, bulky, “family car” bro-dozers.

@@joshualaw375 I see your point some what, but, my '15 4Runner TRD Pro would smoke a stock '89 Land Cruiser in any off-road situation. Even the modern Land Cruisers are better.

@@billyhughes9776 I don't doubt that, in fact that's not really what I was saying. I was primarily talking about newer pickup trucks. Although they have off-road capabilities, they are not nearly as solidly-built for the task. But I totally agree with you. Toyota has really kept up their superb standards for quality and capability. The biggest issue with newer 4x4s (mainly pickups) is price. When a vehicle costs nearly $60,000 it would be hard to see somebody risking that investment by wheeling it. That's really all I'm saying. :)

+cj oshie I saw one of these yesterday

+Sean O'Shea they are in Cali....EVERYWHERE in LA

I bet more than 2/3's are!

I have a 1986 hj 61 sahara land cruiser and it's the dream

I have owned three of these things, an 85, 88 and a 93, each of them had well over 200k miles and they were running strong as hell. In fact the 85 had never had it's engine taken apart with only preventative maintanance done to it. The others were taken apart for modifications, not because it was needed. The engines I had were all 3F, the 93 being fuel injected and all of them were manuals. I loved them so much. I never had any issues that were not caused by my own iresponsability or recklessness. The reviewer said it was a “mediocre" ride on the road, I disagree with that.

Looks like 89 to me lol

+MrTLsnow you never see old RRs, only new ones because they go to shit so quick lol

The old chevy suburban to old land cruiser ratio is crazy. For every 10 old suburbans, you see one land cruiser. For every 200 of the old land cruisers, you see one old range rover. I would only buy an old range so that i can gut it and replace with an LS engine

So did I. Those were great times.

$22,000 in 1986 is $50,000 in 2018 dollars. Inflation is a bitch.

So really the 2021 LC shouldn’t be much over $50k going by inflation and yet it’s close to double that. $50K for a new LC today would be a steal!

If the current Land Cruiser(the version that we get as the LX600) was available in America, it would be more than $100,000 today.

@Matthew Caughey 70 series

Gotta love inflation lol, and the Land Cruiser/LX570 still competes with the Range Rover

Well adjusting for inflation, blue collar workers made a lot more than us today too.

And beat' em in every section

The best sub-model Land Cruiser you can get is the Sahara which starts at A$123,504

@Take the red pill I was going to post something to that effect but you beat me to it. They lie about inflation too, it's way higher than they say it is. Inflation is from the FR printing up money out of nothing, giving it to their buddies at the commercial banks which then go buy everything up and all this new money inflates prices. No wonder they try to convince us inflation is lower than it actually is.

Craig Graves and arguably more capabilities

Yep, the best version :)

chris xaf12 I never knew that. That’s cool to hear. I used to have a 52’ chevy with the 235, it was a great engine.

+bliglum The 4Runner filled the old LC spot.

Also consider how basic and utilitarian vehicles were back then. Today we can have 300 hp and 30 mpg in complete comfort and a quiet ride. Music on demand with no commercials for the journey or even watching a movie.

Airbags? All the mandatory safety features? Not to mention epa gas mileage.

Preppies or Preppers????

Oh? I thought I was watching Doug Demuro review a range rover. Thanks for that useful tip

Definitely, afterwards they became to ugly, bloated, and expensive!

Indeed
