The 100 series Toyota Land Cruiser was introduced in 1998, it was refreshed with a 4.7 liter V8 giving it more power, torque and towing capacity than the previous model. It features a body on frame design unlike many of the newer SUVs which gives it a rigid chassis for off roading, modifying and towing.
The Toyota Land Cruiser is known for its reliability, this is exactly what you want if you are off roading or overloading. You do not want to worry about getting stuck 10 miles into the forest with a broken down vehicle.
The Toyota Land Cruiser is a very sought after vehicle for its multi purpose functionality, general reliability and off road capabilities.

My 2000 land cruiser has 378k and still going strong
Ours is a 98 still running. Plus its also called the grand cruiser.
greatest Toyota engine ever.
We drive em crazy in middleast, and they never complains.
you also blow them up pretty crazy and yet they keep running.
Bender Bending Rodriguez
And you load em up with dope like crazy and yet they keep running
@@benderbendingrofriguez3300 racist much my guy
I' m in London, UK. Have a 1998 Landcruiser Amazon with a 4.2 Turbo Diesel and auto box. I have had it for 4 years with only 150,000mls. A beautiful vehicle and I get around 32mpg with careful driving. Recommended.
Honestly, 32mpg on Diesel?
When you floored it your mileage dropped to about 2 mpg. :) I have a 2002 Land Cruiser and I love the visibility and how you look down on the hood. Newer vehicles you sit so low you don't even see the hood.
So true! Love the seating position, like a king
The 100 series are the most beautiful, the new ones (200) look too bulky
The new ones look like a Highlander.
@@JohnSmith-dt7gu as someone who just bought a 200 series this is all I think about lol...
Vents on the back are for releiving cabin preassure from a/c and door's closing
I call my 2000 LX “dinosaur”. It’s wonderful. 220k miles. No problems at all. Just regular maintenance. Reliable.
Very clean piece you kept it well, 100 series is built to live forever.
This is the best J100 review I've watched, and I've watched a lot of them
Thanks man 💪
Great comments, spot on. I have a year 2000 Land Cruiser. Rear seat fold up to the side but face forward when in place and seat 3
Congratulations on your purchase. It is a great vehicle. I owed 3 of them from the FJ80, and two 100 series. One just like yours, and one 105R Diesel, with the ambulance doors, and dual fuel tanks for trips to remote areas. The rear seats in your model are like a third row and face forward. What is referred to as the Japanese model, with the ambulance doors, like my 105R, the third-row seats face each other. On both models, the seats are collapsible onto themselves to give you more storage room in the back.
Good review👍
My 2002 has 320k still strong!!💪
Toyotas last forever I have 2014 corrolla myself!.
Thanks - I’m looking at 2001 with 293K miles.
I had my heart set on an 80 series. but the stronger engine, the better gas mileage, and more room in the 100 series has been making me lean towards that side. not to mention they are taken care of a lot better than most 80s. I'll be doing overlanding instead of heavy rock crawling and all that. any opinions anyone?
The best💯
As an 80 100 and now 200 series owner, I can tell you the 100 series is the way to go. If you do go with the 80 series....1994 and and above. You’ll need the extra power for rock crawling.
The vents are sort of a relief for when you shut the doors with the windows up. Eliminates that ear thing that happens
Mike has almost 242k mi and never gives me problems, rides like new
I have one currently and it’s great
Great Land Cruiser. I had a 1999. With. 325000 miles with just basic maintenance.
Love that color...that is one clean 2000 LC!
Thanks boss, yes it’s lovely color for sure
Got a 2000 land cruiser with 94k miles for 15k, amazing vehicles
Looking at an 06 with 188,000 miles for 16.... What you think?
The vents on the side of the car is for equalizing the pressure in the cabin when you open and close the doors.
Love my 09 200 series LC, Never let me down on the tracks and has plenty of power....
200! I want one eventually
Love my 2001 100 series; still going strong with regular maintenance, 205k miles and designed for300k-500k in harshest environments on Earth
Excellent well worth💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
This is a great, real-world review. Thanks
I am hesitating between the gasoline and diesel version. what kind of fuel burn for your v8?
2001 love it
in some places paying someone else to do the repairs is a bad thing
How about and update? Still running sound? Any expensive repairs? What kind of real world MPG have you seen with freeway driving?
I sold it, I drive alot for work so I bought a Prius. No repairs, it was a solid truck. I was seeing 8-10mpg in the city, 14-15mpg highway.
Amazing car!
Get a 'Long Ranger' fuel tank and double your driving range!
👍🏻great car this is solid as a tank
Why you can't select rear wheel drive mode in these cars
I think it's much better to be able to turn off 4wd on the road
5 more years than our 98 landcruiser will be 25.
I have a 20 yr old 200000 miles and still going strong
Heck yeah!
I have a 2015 Sr5p 4runner 4x4, I should be perfectly happy... But DAMN IT these land cruisers are something else...
Hah! I know man, just something about them
Sell the 4 Runner buy a used 100 series LC or LX470 for $6-7K. 20 yrs old but still ahead of the game by todays new offroad offerings.
@@bradhogan3784 Really????
Just bought a 2013 200 series... amazing vehicle with unmatched build quality!!! You'll easily get another 150k+ miles out of it.
I've been driving the crap out of it, it's so reliable and fun! Congrats and enjoy!
Same here! Need to calm down a bit as I'm finding excuses to get on the road haha... it was tough choosing between the 100 and 200.
Yeah the 200s are almost double the price of the 100s, I got mine for 7k or I wouldn't have gotten it.
Jake Tiesler how is the fuel consumption?
Some say it's Tesla-esque
Looks like it's in a great condition .... my mind is set on getting one in the UK ... cant wait to be ready and find a good 100 series landcruiser!! I'm in between getting a petrol/LPG or a Diesel depending on price/condition... any advice is greatly appreciated
We don’t have diesel her but both trucks are great
get diesel. Your wallet will appreciate it
100 series petrol or diesel guys, which to buy?
the 5-speed automatic added in 2003 is a huge step up imo
I can imagine
Are you still getting 16MPG now? How many owner the car had before you bought it? Just want to see if this is a factor may influence the MPG.
1 owner - when sold 16
Whats that paint code man! ?
I was wondering if you still had the Land Cruiser? And do you have any further thoughts? I am Thinking about buying one.
Sold it, wished I didn’t! Get one now!!
What gadget do you use to monitor your gas mileage?
scangauge brand. about 150 buckeroos. plugs into engine diagnostic.
Possibly getting a 2000 land cruiser tomorrow morning ( Halloween day lol ) has some cosmetic issues but for $1500 Hopefully there is nothing that will make me no. Will be my second land cruiser bought my 94 80 series for $2300 & it was triple locked with 149 miles, but sadly I sold that one ☹️...
That’s very low price!
I wish these were still 10k (for great ones). Toyota doesn't make anything close it anymore, so I'm still considering one.
Fair enough!
I can buy 2001 with 62k on odometer in excellent condition for 14k, is this decent price ?
konc3pt sF yes
Check the market, look on CarGurus
ended up with buying GX460 ultra premium
konc3pt sF haha same here except mine isn’t premium
Nonamus Gaming congrats, buy pedal commander for it, wakes it up..
What year 100 series is better? The one's with rear locker?
I prefer the newer ones 2006/2007 because of the features/power/transmission but the 1998-2002 are still awesome! Locker 98/99
Any expensive issues to look out for? I have a 3rd gen 4runner no issues. That thing is unstoppable. Did the timing belt water pump all diff fluids transmission drain and fill. Mini lift with bilsteins 5100 front adjustable and rear ome 2906 springs about 2.5 inch lift. I averaged 22.6 mpg coming home from Moab. How is the mpg on these breasts? I've heard its really bad.
The Third row seats face forward, so the Landcruiser becomes an 8 seater.
How do fold them back up..i put down to sit on them and now dont know how to stow away...
Great review! Today (3/26/22) I found a 2001 at local Toyota Dealer: 293,000 miles, $10,900. Does this sound good deal? Good shape.
Depends if it’s in good shape or not - these trucks really are about the “condition previous owners took care etc
@@JakeTiesler thanks! I also have a 2009 200 TLC with 201K miles for $25500. Any thoughts between the 100 versus 200 series?
I’d drive both - I drove a 2016 and it didn’t seem to be worth the 6x price tags - the 100 series is great
@@JakeTiesler thanks!
Hey, bro. I found a 2000 LC. 182k miles. Owner is asking $8500. I’m going to offer a little less. This will be my wife’s daily driver and our long road trip “adventure” truck. She’s a stay at home mom and doesn’t drive often (not worried about gas mileage). We will be driving light-moderate trails and plan to modify it just a little. We will be driving it for at least 4 years, as we’re saving up for a 200 series. We basically want an off-road capable family vehicle (3 small kids) that’s reliable. Located in the desert.
Do you think that this is a good price for the LC and a good purchase overall? All replies are greatly appreciated.
If it’s not wrecked, rusty and is pretty clean and straight then yes, tires and timing belt would be a plus but generally that’s about normal pricing
Jake Tiesler Thank you. I appreciate the quick response. You got a new subscriber.
🤙
I paid less than $8000 for my 09 sienna limited with 93k miles and it gets around 17 mpg combined, it actually looks alot like that land cruiser, the seats, steering wheel, etc and probably has more interior space and everything is cheaper to repair or replace ... just can't do heavy off roading in it ... 15 cup holders, I don't think you can beat that!
It's 25% of the quality in build parts to compare😳
How has it been holding up so far. Want to get a 2004 LC with 63kmiles for 20k $. Sound like a good deal?
Joe I replaced the fan clutch last week, it looked original at 233,000 miles.
No issues otherwise, it wasn’t even a part failure. It was still running properly. Just the fan was stuck in the on position, which doesn’t hurt anything aside from MPG.
I would look up the KBB value and see what they are trading hands for.
I would prefer a 2006-2007 for that money due to the extra power, features etc.
Go baby!
Getting one tomorrow 2000 170k is yours still running?
I just took it on a 4000 mile road trip without a hiccup, I love this truck
John Paul Gabriel Zuluaga how much did you get it for? Looking to get one too
3 years later.....do you still have it? And if so, hows it holding up?
Nope - flipped it - wish I still had it - although I like the 2006-2007 best
@@JakeTiesler ahh man, sad to hear. I have my eye on a 2000 now, im still debating it though. I have a 2wd single cab silverado, and a pain in the butt, yet fun BMW, i just need something 4wd and with some room
I believe that's a jack.... bruh 😂
Do not turn the steering wheel so abruptly while the car is not in motion. Think!
That is a beautiful car. What a lad. I have a Hilux with a 1uzfe V8
Eyyy what a lad
Have a gtr 2. Come to Ireland my dude
Will land cruiser last more than tahoe/Denali/sierra/f150? I know a lot about land cruise but I just wanna know how LC compares to American suvs?
A LC will outlast all of the others and outperform them as well. As well you will love it far more, no worries ever!
The American competition can't even touch the Land Cruiser in terms of dependibility, comfort, etc. As Jake said, these trucks are built to last 25 years in a 3rd world country, so almost all of them are holding up like tanks, and their resale values are validating that claim.
thecarelectronicguy ahh yes! I live in middle East and LC and nissan patrol rule the world's! I 've seen the ones from 1980s still passing the test and are running on the roads! I was just curious as to why it dosent sell well in usa. Toyota's biggest lc market is MENA region btw. Recently saw a tahoe and wanted to know how it compares to LC 😊
It doesn't sell very well because of the price. Nowadays most people can't see the value in spending $85k on a Toyota because Toyotas "aren't cool" Recently, I've seen far more Range Rovers on the road than Land Cruisers and Lexus LXs. This is the unfortunate result of people buying something simply to brag to their friends about the brand name, not because it's actually the better car, and the resale values of all of these cars tend to reflect that statement.
thecarelectronicguy Ahh ofcourse the ranger rover. They were good before tata bought them, for on road use they're the best but take them to the desert and you 'll find out that they don't even hold a candle against the land cruiser. I 've never seen a range rover been taken to the desert here as opposed to tons of lx570s and both are similarly priced. The air conditioning system in toyota and Lexus is the best for the middle East. Just take the Lexus and the range rover for a test drive in the summer here! You 'll u understand. The Lexus has around 16 a.c. vents. The maintenance cost of the range rover is much more than Lexus and all this for similar comfort levels. On road range rover is better but off road lexus/LC is the king.
Just found one in my area for about 70 000 miles for 2500$ perfect condition... what should I do?
Buy it asap!
then sell it to me for 5k
Arrived couple hours too late... Was in prestine condition...
....you should ask stupid questions on TH-cam.
Wow!
Coconut. Condition. For your leather
Thanks!
What yrs are the 100 series???
1998-2007
@@JakeTiesler Thank you...
I found a 92 that has 259k miles for $2,990. Is that a good deal?
The older ones have different issues like the headgasket but I’m not an expert on them
There is an enormous difference between the 92 FJ80 and the 2000 FJ100 in this video. The 92 had a 4 liter straight six engine that is seriously under powered and not very refined. Do some research.
Didnt come with 3rd row seats?
This one did not
@@JakeTiesler the 98 one could
Im pretty sure all land cruisers have 3rd row.
Jake Tiesler dede
You don’t have to stop to engage your locker!
What speed can it be safe to engage that button?
Why did you sell your Land Cruiser??
I had a good opportunity
Trust me.. the more money people have, the less they worry about maintenance. Your reasoning about them getting better maintenance because the owners were doctors and lawyers is not really true. I work at a Toyota dealership and Land Cruisers are just as prone to be neglected as the little Yaris or Corolla. But yes, these vehicles are awesome, can take a lot of abuse, and keep going. Just be sure to get the vehicle checked out completely and change all fluids asap once you own it
Folks, one of the greatest SUVs ever made. Unfortunately in 2022......Base price with any mileage will be $10K minimum. Easily.
The absolute cheapest one I have seen recently was a 2002 LX470 for 11k that had 170k miles on it.
@@GamerNxUSN for that price it was probably a rust bucket.
heavy and slow... Easy test. Take to the beach in Daytona and get ready for it to bog down in the sand. Maybe the Subaru, jeep, and 4runner drivers will help pull you out.
No one in US who makes $250k buys a Toyota. They go for Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, Masaratti, Tesla, etc.
third world country and yet Mitsubishi created a car that was named Pajero.
I still don't get it. I've looked at a few and they just feel like small and cheap junk..
