A Land Cruiser holds its value so well for 1 reason and 1 reason only: They last forever. Their mechanicals are simple, reliable, and overbuilt. Add to that the fact they are an SUV purpose-built for offroading and most will never see anything harder than the overflow parking at the kids' soccer field and you have an SUV that has a reputation for never breaking.
I remember my late father used to be owned one petrol powered LC FJ40 and about Mechanical parts especialy reliability, my late dad really satisfied with the toughness of that car and wanted owned an J80. But, what a shame, later he sold that FJ40 because he said the fuel consumption is not efficient enough. I Still miss that car, it's really well maintained by my late father.
"Overbuilt" applies to these vehicles more than any other that people use that term around. Most vehicles and their components are built to something like a 10-15 year standard. Ie, they expect all the peices, if well taken care of, to work for that amount of time, and after that it's mostly up to the owner to make extra sure they stay in good condition. Land Cruisers are built to a 25-30 year standard. Everything is heavier and thicker. Therefor less likely to bend, break or rust through.
I agree on the reliable and overbuilt part, but they aren't as simple and barebone as people think they are. The public mistaken land cruiser series (land cruiser, prado, 4runner, GX, LX) of being too simple to break, but when you take a closer look: standard hydroboost brakes, active traction control that can do half what a locker can do, weird interior lights that you only found out after 10 years of ownership; all wheel drive (except current 4runner), adaptive learning transmission, active height control that most likely will work after 20 years, if road salt didn't destroy it. They aren't exactly simple, they are simply built different.
8:22 The pollen filtration in the Land Cruiser is because in Japan, after WWII, there was an effort to jumpstart the timber industry. After sometime, lumber was much cheaper to import from elsewhere than processing in Japan. So there are TONS of abandoned tree plantations that churn out a bunch of pollen in the season.
Uuugh I can relate, I assume you’re talking about pine trees and we have hhugee overgrown plantations (tree farms) of pine here in British Colombia that emit actual yellow snowstorms of pollen; it’s gross; it builds up against curbs and roadsides as “pollen drifts” (you know like snow drifts but made up of yellow pollen).

Back in the 90s my cousin sold the property he inherited from my grandfather to my Mom. (Family shit. Mom thought she was shafted out of it in the will). He took the money and bought a Land Cruiser, HK rifles, and cocaine. In 2020 he drives a 2003 Grand Marquis our aunt gave him. He works at Home Depot. The Land Cruiser is long gone; I bought the HK rifles from him when he was in a pinch for cash, and he still needs to have the hole in his nasal septum fixed from the cocaine. And I own the land.

There is a 1988 Land Cruiser here in Naples Florida that is absolutely mint. I see it sometimes at our Walmart. In the handicap parking spot of course.
It truly is pleasant to see a diverse community appreciating the humble land cruiser for what it is. Wherever you are in the world, from France to Indonesia, the world welcomes the land cruiser in open arms. It may be true that the J200 isn't selling as well as its rivals here in the states, but it sure is well spread out throughout the planet
In New Zealand, the Land Cruiser is the SUV you buy not to look rich, but because you are rich and you have the toys to prove it. I've never seen a Range Rover towing a massive boat or a horse float. Plenty of Land Cruisers towing boats and horses, and then some. It's the SUV that either spends its time sitting in the driveway of the Herne Bay bungalow because it can't fit inside the garage, or sitting outside a lifestyle block that has actual livestock on it. Or in an airport storage carpark for rental cars.

@@james_chatman I find (in the Tundra, same engine and same 6000# weight) I get the shittiest mileage when I do ONLY in-town stuff. Just grocery runs, or jaunts to MicroCenter, nothing over 35. It'll be 12 with occasional tanking to 11 if runs are especially short. 13-14 is if there's some 70MPH highway runs, even tho the gearing is most efficient at 55-60. It's the reason in college I would leave it parked for over a month at a time, accomplishing everything with a bike or my legs. Also, gas was routinely $4/gal at that time. It's all worth it tho when you actually need to USE your truck/SUV. Like "hey I gotta move 8000# of tractor and implements". Can't get it done any other way.

The GCC/Gulf Spec 200 Series comes in all sorts of trim models and options, ranging from a stripped down 4.0 V6 Base model for around $45-60K all the way to the luxurious VX.S model with leather seats, safety features, and a 5.7 V8 or 4.5 Turbo Diesel V8 for the price tag of $80-100K which's ridiculous. Most J200 you see here in Bahrain are the GX.R which's the low-mid range model. Unrelated but It's kinda funny that people always associate the Land Cruiser with Arabs even tho the Chevy Tahoe/GMC Yukon over here are about as popular as the Cruiser if not more popular in some cases and regions. This is coming from a guy who used to daily a '99 GX.R FZJ100 with the 4.5 Straight 6 and who isn't into SUVs and crossovers.

I work at a Toyota dealership. We have one of these. It's been sitting up front for about 8 months now. Right next to our only Sequoia that's been there for about 2 months. Edit: We just sold the Sequoia about 2 hours after I originally commented.
Yeah probably because you're asking MSRP. Seen these go for about $12-15k off MSRP. Your sales manager is pricing it so that *one Land cruiser guy is going to buy it at sticker because him and Land cruisers are an emotional thing.
Sequoias are *obscenely* large. These are slightly smaller, and have the same amazing engine and transmission. Also, if you want to, you can ploop a Toyota or Magnussen SC on these, and generate 501/550 or 550/550 respectively.
I've seen 2 on sale in Poland and for 200k PLN (45k USD) both are listed for you can buy a clean title V8 R8, the most expensive E90 M3 listed for sale in the country, a new generation Supra or if you want a 4x4, a new Wrangler from a Jeep dealership. The prices of these things are surreal, but it's Toyota and one that wasn't officially sold in Europe at that so you have to import it.
come to Australia, where these things are everywhere, like millions of them, and in the small farming town where i live, its by far the most popular 4x4 out there, and these things will dominate nearly anything offload
I find it interesting that he keeps saying the Land Cruiser is “too much truck” and people should get a Sequoia, when the Sequoia is even larger and heavier than the Cruiser is, and has the exact same same gas-guzzling motor.

In Saudi Arabia, two years ago, I found a Toyota Land Cruiser exactly like this 2008, it had traveled 950,000 kilometers, and it's still the same engine, and there are still people ready to buy it, the desert nature in my country makes it difficult for many cars to survive.
Why is it difficult?

FINALLY A LAND CRUISER.
The name **literally** says all you need to know
Back in the 90s my cousin sold the property he inherited from my grandfather to my Mom. (Family shit. Mom thought she was shafted out of it in the will). He took the money and bought a Land Cruiser, HK rifles, and cocaine.
In 2020 he drives a 2003 Grand Marquis our aunt gave him. He works at Home Depot. The Land Cruiser is long gone; I bought the HK rifles from him when he was in a pinch for cash, and he still needs to have the hole in his nasal septum fixed from the cocaine. And I own the land.
He clearly should have invested it all in cocaine.

There is a 1988 Land Cruiser here in Naples Florida that is absolutely mint. I see it sometimes at our Walmart. In the handicap parking spot of course.
Seems a little old for you...but I do love the 60 series.

Of course an '88 Land Cruiser in mint condition in Florida, of course.
It truly is pleasant to see a diverse community appreciating the humble land cruiser for what it is. Wherever you are in the world, from France to Indonesia, the world welcomes the land cruiser in open arms. It may be true that the J200 isn't selling as well as its rivals here in the states, but it sure is well spread out throughout the planet
Hope everyone reading this has a great week :)
Thank you SwedishFish! 😊
You too!
In New Zealand, the Land Cruiser is the SUV you buy not to look rich, but because you are rich and you have the toys to prove it. I've never seen a Range Rover towing a massive boat or a horse float. Plenty of Land Cruisers towing boats and horses, and then some.
It's the SUV that either spends its time sitting in the driveway of the Herne Bay bungalow because it can't fit inside the garage, or sitting outside a lifestyle block that has actual livestock on it. Or in an airport storage carpark for rental cars.
Finally! I love these oversized over engineered barges
love the 100 series i own. No problems at all and i use it for everything. Had a mowing business in highschool, used it everyday, also used when i went hunting no problem. 230k miles and it runs like it’s brand new.

@@Hansengineering Yeah that's when you're even thinking about getting somewhere in a hurry. 9-10 in San Francisco or Seattle even if you're not.
@@james_chatman I find (in the Tundra, same engine and same 6000# weight) I get the shittiest mileage when I do ONLY in-town stuff. Just grocery runs, or jaunts to MicroCenter, nothing over 35. It'll be 12 with occasional tanking to 11 if runs are especially short. 13-14 is if there's some 70MPH highway runs, even tho the gearing is most efficient at 55-60. It's the reason in college I would leave it parked for over a month at a time, accomplishing everything with a bike or my legs. Also, gas was routinely $4/gal at that time.
It's all worth it tho when you actually need to USE your truck/SUV. Like "hey I gotta move 8000# of tractor and implements". Can't get it done any other way.
Here is the irony. This exact car in places like Australia or Africa has a 4.5L Twin Turbo V8 Diesel and its still considered thirsty 😅.

The official car of druglords in South America, not in Mexico: they drive Ram Laramies, Chevy Cheyennes (Silverado) and Ford Lobos (a luxury version of the F-150)
This is my all time favorite vehicle ever made.
Also, Mr. Regular, since you review bikes I’d like to see you review the Yamaha FJR 1300.
The GCC/Gulf Spec 200 Series comes in all sorts of trim models and options, ranging from a stripped down 4.0 V6 Base model for around $45-60K all the way to the luxurious VX.S model with leather seats, safety features, and a 5.7 V8 or 4.5 Turbo Diesel V8 for the price tag of $80-100K which's ridiculous. Most J200 you see here in Bahrain are the GX.R which's the low-mid range model.
Unrelated but It's kinda funny that people always associate the Land Cruiser with Arabs even tho the Chevy Tahoe/GMC Yukon over here are about as popular as the Cruiser if not more popular in some cases and regions. This is coming from a guy who used to daily a '99 GX.R FZJ100 with the 4.5 Straight 6 and who isn't into SUVs and crossovers.
The best part of Monday is watching RCR, thank you Brain and Roman. You make life much better!

Since weed vapes were mentioned, avoid that stuff if you value your lungs. Weed vapes(as well as some regular vapes) often contain vitamin e acetate as well as other chemicals that can clog and scar your lungs very quickly. Self inflicted cystic fibrosis is a pretty bad way to go.

I work at a Toyota dealership. We have one of these. It's been sitting up front for about 8 months now. Right next to our only Sequoia that's been there for about 2 months.
Edit: We just sold the Sequoia about 2 hours after I originally commented.
Yeah probably because you're asking MSRP. Seen these go for about $12-15k off MSRP. Your sales manager is pricing it so that *one Land cruiser guy is going to buy it at sticker because him and Land cruisers are an emotional thing.
I wish you showed more features of this car, like the third row seats, rear AC and unique front switches and stuff

Sequoias are *obscenely* large. These are slightly smaller, and have the same amazing engine and transmission. Also, if you want to, you can ploop a Toyota or Magnussen SC on these, and generate 501/550 or 550/550 respectively.

I agree and disagree, i think the Ford Crown Vic, Hyundai Elantra and GMC Yukon should also belong in the list somewhere lol.
I've seen 2 on sale in Poland and for 200k PLN (45k USD) both are listed for you can buy a clean title V8 R8, the most expensive E90 M3 listed for sale in the country, a new generation Supra or if you want a 4x4, a new Wrangler from a Jeep dealership. The prices of these things are surreal, but it's Toyota and one that wasn't officially sold in Europe at that so you have to import it.
