You did an excellent job covering all the details conveying distinctions that differnciate each vehicle. Your knowledge of both vehicles is very apparent, as well as helpful. I love them both. I happen to be the original owner of a 2003 (only 70k miles). Only issue that it had was a failed ignition cylinder on the steering column. That was unexpected; otherwise, bullitproof. I'm going to subscribe. Thank you.

One of the best reviews I have ever seen. Great job, i could feel your love for LCs. Very comprehensive indeed

Have both as well. My biggest gripe is I wish they would have carried over the arm rests & the wing windows from the 100 when they designed the 200. In the same vain the 200 has a lot of features I wish my 100 has such as more power, KDSS & a lot of new tech. The overhead view camera on my 2019 is super useful.

Very good knowledge about your trucks, I admire the love and the sense of pride that you have for both of them! I own a 2003 Land Cruiser 100 Series and what can I say about it that you already commented on it, in my case, I just love my faithful old Land Cruiser, still running like when I drove it out of the dealership, it has never let me down in any kind of weather, all I ever had repaired on it was the fact that the rear brake calipers had freeze in the open position due to all the bad winters in New Jersey, problem was fixed when I brought it to Florida and the couple of times when the timing belt was replaced due to the high running mileage (336.000 mls). As a note, I love the quality of the truck and the fact that has more the pay me back every dollar that I spend on it. I like to pick your brain about something that you touch on it in your comments. I want to buy another either a used Land Cruiser or a Lexus 570 not too old, this due to a statement you made as well in reference to avoid paying a small fortune for a new one. What say you? What year and model? Thanks!

in australia we has a 105 series, basically an 80 series with live axles, and 100 body. only came with the 4.2 diesel non turbo, and the 4500cc petrol six. most popular with overlanders like stephan Fisher fitting a turbo diesel.

Great! I was also looking out for your views on their other offroad features like diff locks and traction control, but you only briefly mentioned KDSS on the LC 200. I ask because these features vary depending on trim and model year. Do you have a video on those features

100 is the daddy. My biggest regret is selling my 56000 mile mint 100 td. But the prices rocketed in 2019 and I couldn't justify using it as an overlander when it was gaining around £800 per month in value! So I sold it for £20k and bought a mint Jeep WJ for 5k. Good 100 series are now £25000+. It was the nicest driving, smoothest, beautiful looking truck I'd ever driven : (

Gorgeous vehicles. Gorgeous neighborhood. Very nice, informative comparison - thank you.

Excellent comparison video. I understand that the reason Toyota opted for Timing Belts for the 1UZ, 2UZ engines etc is because they considered the rubber belts to yield a quieter, smoother, more refined experience. That's probably one of the reasons they were able to rev the original Lexus at full clip with full wine glasses 🍷 on top and not spill a drop. I think that's probably one of the reasons why the 100 Series is quiter compared to the chain driven 200.

Nice Video. Know these rigs good. Had a 80series, 90 series, 100series and 200 still. I actually really prefer the 100 more. Have the ahc on board, although it’s a working rig and tows daily 3Tons (kilos) through the mountains of Switzerland. Still runs really smoothly (420.000km). Just well maintained. No issues with time belt or whatsoever (change all 150k km). The 200 is a diesel. Ok more torque and I think it’s a beast!! But louder and not as smooth like the 2uz-fe .

I think it’s crazy where 100 series prices have gone. I picked up 100 series 2 years ago as had never had a truck before and wasn’t sure I would like it, so at that time was much cheaper. Great truck and now I have a 200. If you really like working on your own car, then I can see a case made for the 100, but if you are taking it to a shop, might as well go 200. Personally prefer the styling of the 100, but the 200 is just such a nicer ride.

My question is regarding the 80 series and the 200 series and their retrospective diff locks, at some point I wanna get a landcruiser but not sure which would be better, the old rugged 80 series with the center diff lock or modern 200 with center and rear diff lock? Your impute and advice would be great, cheers 🙂

@CruisingTheLand

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Adam, great question... To clarify, the 80 series either comes with a center lock, or comes triple locked which means you can lock rear and front diffs. Not all 80s came with this option. The 100 series had the reak locker (no fronts) in the first 2 years, then only center diff lock from 2000 to 2007. However the 100 and 200 are equipped with ATRAC, which uses the braking system to stop the spinning wheel and give power to the motionless wheel. So there are no rear diff locks for the 200 series (in the US market) As well, the 200 series has the KDSS system for the suspension articulation decoupling.

I've done the solder repair twice. 1st time lasted a year or 2. last time, well, a few days, Need to pop the unit out and do it again. I'm getting quicker at it. Done the refoam on the sub too. (and replaced other speakers, just because). Considering getting a new model, so your vid was helpful. Probably a 200 series, just can't decide which iteration. The prices climb a bunch with each newer year. (obviously). I like the 2016 design, but those are still in the 50's (unless high mileage). So who knows. There are never many listed due to low production, and the fact that most people keep them. 2008-2015, less than a dozen within 500 miles radius of me (DFW). Crazy. Anyway, thanks for the vid.

Otherwise the 200 is super nice.

The only negative for the 06-07 VVTI is the engine is more complex and any major repairs will cost you dearly. If cared for no problem, but a head gasket on the 06-07 is going to be very expensive. My shop charges just under $10K and they don’t make money. But they do t want to make customers made by charging the real cost. $14K at Stealership.

On another note you live in a beautiful neighborhood and seeing your neighbo pull in that 02 LX with 300k on the clock, but lives in a million dollar community AND you kindly bragged about spending 25k rather than 95k confirms that the toyota/lexus is the way to go for smarter individuals in my opinion.

yes absolutely! I ended up doing a video on that LX470 (it was beyond Pristine, could eat off the engine bay) and it sold for 11500.. I helped him sell it from the video.

Brilliant review... I'm planning of doing a road trip across Europe/Middle East, which vehicle would you use for the task? Any manufacturer and model....

Just got a 100 series and so stoked! It has AHC unfortunately, but I want to put KO2's on. What size do you reckon I should do considering the AHC? Will mostly be on street, but will off road on occasion. Was thinking 275/65R18, but not sure. Thanks!

Biggest I had on a 100, was 34", but that had a 2" lift. I think you can get away with 32.8". Check on google "tire calculator comparison" and there is a site where you input the tire dimensions and it shows you inches, diameter and speedo effect when comparing to stock size.

Mine is a 100 series GX 4500 six cylinder, originally a UN vehicle manual transmission no ABS bought it 2 years ago. Any ideas on how to improve the breaks?

I have a 2004 Landcruiser and I live in Texas area, what tires will you suggest for me to change to make it less slippery during wet and raining slipper roads ? I have had the current tires for about 2 years. Thks for your help in advance. 👍. You did make excellent videos !!

The Michelin Defenders are top notch. They have a 75k mile warranty (they will be done by 40k miles) but American Tire will measure the highest tread on all 4 tires (rotate!) And prorate your next set. I have had 40% off the Michelins this way! People just dont know about this. But having tried less expensive brands throughout the years, that have road noise at their half life, I found you get what you pay for. The Michelins are best, and at 75% life, still roll smooth and quiet. Tires make all the difference on the quality of your ride! Plus better tires will stop faster, dissipate water better, and when inches and feet matter, goood rubber can save you from expensive fender benders!

landcruisers are the go. even better in australia, with the diesel options. i’ve got a 105 solid axle. my son has a totally old school 60. with the big 2h diesel. both with about 360km- 220ml. both still going strong. thanks for the video. great to watch.

I just love all you vids on the LX & LC. I'm looking to get my first one. It would be my everyday driver. Should I look at a 100 or 200 series. If I did a 100 it would be a 2006 or 2007. If I did the 200 should I just look at the 2013? Thanks,

So you are looking strictly at a 80 series? Or 100 too? All Landcruiser are in short supply, but an 80 series really has a huge range of pricing, because as you say, they are either neglected and high miles, or low miles (below 200k) and triple locked etc... There are still.deals out there, like the family that are original owners with a stock LC and they sell for 12k, not knowing the value...

20K for 116 Miles and going up. Bought my 100 series this yr. Best decision ever

Great video. We have an 06 LX & 16 LC. I thoroughly enjoy both for different reasons. Best vehicles I’ve ever owned. Debating to fully replace AHC in the 06. Currently building for Offroad. I do like the softer ride of AHC. What are your thoughts?

@CruisingTheLand

3 жыл бұрын

If you are overlanding, leave the AHC, as you can lift 2" with the click of a button. You'd be overlanding 5% or less of the total miles driven. I'd only.consider removing the AHC when a globe goes out and its expensive to repair. But if you are rock crawling, then switching out AHC then would make more sense. The 2016 Landcruiser is actually better equipped to offroad with the KDSS.

Thats low miles. Figure over 7 years and 15k miles a year, you'll be over 200k miles and likely still have a value of at least 25k. So 7 years and 100k miles, at about a depreciation of 15k is pretty cheap for a 80k vehicle! You are buying at an optimal time in the lifetime of that LC. Also, if you have a business, you can write off 25k in year 1! Worth to start a small side hustle business for the write off! Of you are at 40% on your next dollar earned, then 40% x 25k is 10k in tax savings... Making the LC a cost of 5k if you sell after 7 years in my example. Can't do the 25k write off if its a car.... only utility truck over 6000lbs.

I am planning to drive the LC from Florida to Alaska next summer. I drove the LC to Cincinnati this week (~1000 miles). It feels very safe and rock solid on the freeway. Effortless cruising. Averaged 17 MPG. Well worth spending a bit more on gas for the safety and comfort. Enjoy your informative videos very much. Keep posting more videos on the Landcruiser.

FJ80 (91-94) is 4k-12k avg FZJ80 (95-97) is 8k-25k avg Of course depends on condition miles etc... A super clean, low miles 3x locked 80 can go mid 30s. Also depends on upgrades as suspension can be thousands, roof racks, even rear bumpers are 2500-3500$. For 100 series 98-02 6k-12k 03-05 9k- 18k 06-07 15k-24k Again, same applies, miles, upgrades. The white 100 in my video has 160k miles, rust free, excellent shape and ask is 22900.

I am hoping to get the vehicle inspected, repaired, etc. before going to OH to drive it back to Mass. What items would you think are essential to have replaced/checked.
