Here's Why I Chose the 100 Series Land Cruiser for Overlanding - Alabama Hills POV Drive

There are a lot of options when it comes to choosing the right off-road vehicle for you. I don't think there is any perfect vehicle for all situations, but I do think Land Cruiser is often the answer. Follow along this episode as we take a drive in the middle of nowhere California at a place called Alabama Hills

I have a 2002 Land Cruiser that I bought new, told myself I would drive it 300k miles because of the price....tripped that and am still driving it, love it, will NEVER sell it

There’s a saying in Australia: if you want to go to the outback, take a land rover, if you want to come back from the outback, take a land cruiser. I got a preowned LC 2003, and I am fully in love with this car.

I have both (80 series and 100 series). Completely different personalities and I love them both. I agree that the drive of the 100 series are more compliant than the 80 series. I would rather take the 100 series on a road trip than the 80 series. But, every time I drive the 80 series, it puts a lot of smile on my face. Driving the 80 series is an event rather than just a regular driving suv. It is never boring. My 80 series has 340K miles while my 100 series has 266K miles... They are both very reliable.

Thank you for being one of the few POV creators that doesn't sling their head around all the time!

Here in Denmark we got the 4, 2 1HD-FTE engine which is okay. The big difference is between the model years, from 1998-2005 it had the same engine (1HD-FTE) but coupled to a 4 speed auto (or a 5 speed manual), the interior was also different, not having the navigation screen, but with a rear differential locker. You could also choose between normal suspension and AHC, but the large majority chose AHC. In 2005 they updated it to have a 5 speed auto and rear locker with minor exterior changes, it also had a new interior with the bigger screen and light, orange "wood". From 2006 they updated the exterior again and removed the rear locker. I, myself, have a 2006 LC100 with 280.000 miles!

Yes, my 2006 Land Cruiser is roomy. I removed the third row seats, folded up the 2nd row seats, pulled down the tail gate, and I was able to fit a couch in it so I wouldnt' have to rent a Uhaul. 😁

Land Cruisers are awesome, they’re like personal tanks

[phillippayne]

I have a 2006 Vx Landcruiser 100 series 4.2 turbo diesel with 244.000 kms and I love it .The petrol version here is a lot cheaper to buy but more expensive to run I’m from Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺

[LifeofJoban]

I have a 2004 with 300k miles, incredible vehicles because it drives like it’s got 50k miles.

[sidhoward]

Bro more LC videos of the ol tank. You are the understatement of my love for old 100 series. Park the Porsche and grease up the family wagon. Miss it!!!

Geat piece and all true. One comment - I've got a 2000 and for anyone that does more highway driving, the mph is actually closer to 15/16. It's not 25/30, but it's not as miserable as most people assume - I actually do better than most of my buddies who have Denalis and Silverados.

i have a 1977 landcruiser had it over 20 yrs love it, here in the UK petrol prices are lot more expensive than USA, when i bought it was 18 months old with 18 thousand miles the first thing i did was to put it on LPG best thing i did, save you loads of money

[rguil]

have a 2002 that I've had for 10 years, over 340k miles so far. Looking forward to another 10 years.

Great vid mate 👌👍 that's why we love Toyota! Have a 99 Prado and love her guts 🥰 mind you a 105 with solid front axle would make me smile 😁

[dyang]

I have an 03 with 35 inch tires, best mpg I get in town is 9.9 mpg and around 11 mpg on the highway. I re-geared it to 4.88 and I'm now getting 14.8 mpg in town. Gears are amazing. Nice vid btw.

[shumailkhan]

Brother i am a huge fan of land cruiser. And i love your car. Your way of explaining. Thank you💟

[LXPlore]

Totally agree about the Jeep... I’ve had two and they both wobbled and drove horribly on the pavement. Great video.

[brkbtjunkie]

Timing belt is every 90k, cool video thanks. I’m trying to decide between the 80 and 100 series currently.

[Ghostrider-]

Hey come on now, the 80 series is an icon of off-road adventure! 😂 HDJ81 owner here with the 1-HDT turbo diesel. I love it. Someday an investment in a 100 series would be really nice to compliment the 80 series. Great video, great commentary.
