Looking for a used Toyota Land Cruiser for sale in South Africa? We have over to choose from!
The Land Cruiser has earned a formidable reputation as being, well, formidable. It has been trusted for decades to take their owners to the middle of nowhere and, more importantly, bring them back again.
The LC300 is a thoroughly new Land Cruiser. Its the first new chassis in 14 years for the model and it's also the first time a "sporty variant has been made available, in the form of this, the top-of-the-range GR Sport.
Which forced us to ask ourselves, is there any point to a sporty Land Cruiser? Well, after tackling the wilds of suburbia, we headed out to a dirt oval racetrack to see just how sporty this new LC300 is.

@hendrikpotgieter4501 2 жыл бұрын

I enjoy your lekker reviews, man! I’m lucky enough to own a big, fat V8 Tundra (essentially a Northern American Land Cruiserish bakkie) here in Canada where I live, but would have loved to trade it in for one of these babies. That Tundra-V8 is silky smooth, powerful and reliable, but ruinously thirsty with its 6-speed auto. The newly released next generation Tundra now also comes with this twin turbo V6, but the thing is as big as two houses (not just one) and an absolute pain to have to find a parking spot for in town. Unfortunately we don’t get the Cruiser in Canada - very sad. If we did, it would, however, be much cheaper than in SA. I never fail to be shocked at how expensive cars are in SA…..and that takes into account the exchange rate. I would not have been able to afford to drive what I drive here, there.

I'm in Canada and own the Land Cruiser's little brother, the 4Runner TRD Off Road! It also has KDSS, which is just excellent! I own an FJ Cruiser I have had for 12 years, since my parent bought it for me when I was 16. They use the same platform and engine, so I can say the difference KDSS makes is very substantial, both on and off road!

Those were some very tame speed bumps you had to navigate (2:34). Some speed bumps, potholes, and sand-filled trenches across our suburban roads, are getting so massive, normal cars suffer from suspension damage and belly scrapes, trying to get over them. Even some of the higher softroaders aren't up to the task anymore. Bulky go-anywhere SUVs with low-range gear capabilities are almost compulsory nowadays - no longer just for "show" and definitely not out of place in the suburbs and at the malls. I used to hate them but now learned to tolerate them since I came to understand the drivers' fears and concerns.

My wife liked my LC200 far more than myself. So I had to keep it for 5 years, but I was very happy to sell it before the boom.. My FJ Cruiser was far more enjoyable. But I am getting older now, so maybe I will also get one? Thanks for the lack of an air suspension, but I think I still prefer a Bakkie, because it can go proper off road( no oval jokes). But that dash, I dont know. And I am nowadays very much into value for money, and you didn’t mention anything about value for money? Simply because it isnt good value for money? Thats my view in any case.

Base price for the 2 seat version is $87,000 with the 3 seat model starting at $92,000. And no, the U.S. does NOT get a GR model, ours are the chrome laden models.
