My made in Japan '16 Land Cruiser has been flawless.

The truck is the right size, drives great, consistently gets 23 mpg and has zero rattles, but there have been too many issues during my 10 months of ownership:

- Driveshaft assembly replaced due to ujoint squeaks

- Front struts replaced (bouncy ride and worn out at 35K miles)
- Harmonic resonance in the steering wheel at 50-60. Dealer cannot resolve. Dealer indicates that vibration is normal for these trucks.
- Radiator replaced due to seepage around lower hose connection
- Other than these items, the truck is great

35K+ in 10 months ???????

MannyS · Aug 1, 2016

Just turned 40K

My 4R does everything the LC does at half the price

Hope that helps
Cheers!

Land Cruisers are Toyota's flagship vehicle. It sells poorly here in the U.S. but it's popular all over then world. A 4Runner has nothing on it. It is the main reason why Toyota is known for reliability and it's an engineering masterpiece of ultimate off-road capability and comfort. Hell, it's tested on 6 continents in the worst environments.

That's great if you live outside the US, I don't, and when I travel over I'll get ppl to take me in their LC.
Moreover, for the price of a LC I can get a 4R And a Tundra to tow what the LC can't and a spare vehicle to boot

Hope that helps too
Cheers!

Would I purchase again? Man, I don't know anymore.

There was another thread earlier that got deleted that was discussing how bad Toyota sucks. And like I was saying over there, I've been away from TW for a few months, and the whole time I was thinking how badass my Tacoma is. But now I come back to TW and I feel like it's kind of like those nights when you get really wasted and hook up with a super hot chick, but then you wake up and that super hot chick is actually 300lbs, has hairy armpits, a mustache, and now it burns when I pee.

You were happy with your truck, came hear and now you're unhappy? Am I reading this right?

Buying a Land Cruiser is not a cost issue at my house.

The hammer · Aug 1, 2016

Buying a LC Is a dumb move in my house I've considered it lolo!

Yeah , the forums have a lot of info... If you can't do this stuff to maintain YOUR truck, then get somebody who can.. Best advice I can give ya..
Greasing the zerks is easy.. check the diff's.. easy.. torque the U bolts.. easy..!!
It's YOUR truck... don't let the dealer look after it for you...!!!!!!!

For the non-DIY they have a two yr Toyota care, after that they could still visit the stealership and be ok, because after all the drive-train warranty is 60k and the emission warranty is 80k.

Cheers!

Correct. But who am I kidding.... 10/10 would bang the fat girl and get gonorrhea again. So, yes...I'd buy my Taco again.

rplusplus · Aug 1, 2016

Almost one month in... Yep would totally buy again. Love this truck.

BCOutdoorman · Aug 2, 2016

I would buy this again. Twice on Sunday. Love this truck. Hands down best truck I've owned.

I love mine. Almost 7k miles and going strong with no issues besides a squeaky clutch! The 3rd gens are just plain sexy.

Ieo · Aug 2, 2016

Yes....but not I would do a few things differently.

-Rear leg room is still laughable in the DC: an AC would overall be more useful because it's more convenient for gear and I wouldn't need to constantly make appologies/excuses when trying to cram adult-sized friends in the back of my DC.

-Entune sucks. JBL sucks. The only thing I would miss from the premium tech package would be heated seats and BSM...and you lose BSM anyway with an aftermarket bumper. Not worth 3K.

So, instead of my loaded DCLB TRD OR, I would get an ACLB TRD OR with zero options. And I would get it in quicksand rather than MGM.

The TSB for the tranny seams to be fixing My drivability issues. A $100 set of sumo springs fixes my issues with sag under load.
