Toyota's Land Cruiser V8 is probably the toughest, most capableused luxury SUV you can buy, globally trusted in some of the world's most inhospitable climates. From the Australian Outback to the Argentinean Pampas and on through the streets of Europe, this is a vehicle universally admired for its all-round abilities: highly reliable, tough off-road, yet sufficiently comfortable and refined to go anywhere and be seen everywhere. In 2012, it was improved with even more off road ability and luxury kit and that's the version we look at here as a used buy. It's still not sophisticated and car-like but for most potential owners, that won't matter. They know that it'll probably out-last them. And that it'll always get them there.
Other SUV brands talk about proven heritage: the Land Cruiser V8 'J200'-series model just has it. The United Nations has bought over 12,000 of these things over the years and wouldn't touch anything else. You can hardly switch on the News without seeing one dodging mines in Afghanistan or stretchering away insurgents in Fallujah. None of which explains why a luxury SUV customer shopping for a used model from the 2012 to 2015 era, with Range Rovers, Porsche Cayennes or Mercedes GLs to choose from should buy this Land Cruiser V8: or perhaps it does.
Talk to the UK's small but very rich and very loyal band of Land Cruiser V8 customers and you'll get the impression from them that the merely wealthy can keep their rather silly sporty large SUVs. This car is bought by people who value getting there over looking good. People who, by and large, won't be worrying what their neighbours think because their farms or country mansions don't have any. They need a 4x4 that does the job - and then some. A Rolls Royce of the rough. More than ever in this guise, this one delivers.

Iona 200 series here in the United States. No one knows what it is. But the old expression when you know you know. This is the Lionel Messi of vehicles. The 200 series is the greatest vehicle ever built. It is the most iconic, reliable, rugged, legendary, luxurious SUV in the world. I plan to keep my for 25 years. There is no other vehicle in the world that you can do this with. Lastly, if you were to go from Alaska to Argentina, there is only one car that people would pick that’s a 200 series land cruiser

Postscript. One of the mysteries of the universe is how the land Cruiser is not popular a really sold in the UK. The UK, one of the wealthiest countries in the world who has the worst weather in the world, wet, rainy muddy. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s too big, but if someone knows the answer why the big V8 version is not sold in the UK please do tell

How do the 200 series 4.5 V8 diesels do with dirty diesel in East Africa? Wondering if the engine is too "modern" to work up there...@@johnmcdonald6710

Landcruiser LC200 and LC300 are big competitors for Range Rover and Land Rover in the UK. Land Rover blocks the LC from selling in the UK

I just got a 2014 LC and it's my biggest hang-up thus far. I think with a good phone dash mount I won't miss it too much as I mainly want an easy view of maps while I'm driving.
