I just finished up a 2,000-mile drive from the UK to the north of Norway in my 30-year-old Mitsubishi Delica L300. The little Japanese van isn’t uncomfortable, but it’s largely void of luxury, and by the end of the journey, I was both physically and mentally fatigued (not to mention the road noise left my ears ringing for 48 hours post-arrival). It’s in these moments that I wonder what it must be like to travel in a luxury 4WD such as the 200-Series Land Cruiser. It’s a pinnacle overland platform that blends bulletproof backcountry dependability and capability with sumptuous interior refinement. Subsequently, it’s a popular choice on our forum, with recent examples including this 2008, 2018, and 2019. Today’s 2014 Toyota Land Cruiser (147,952 miles) showcases several premium modifications but is largely a blank canvas for the next owner. If you’d like a better idea of how this vehicle can be outfitted for travel, check out drool-worthy builds from Xoverland, Nomad Outfitters, and Paul May.
From the Seller:
“This 200 Series is my wife’s daily driver but won’t fit in our garage, so it makes sense to let it go. We are the second owner and purchased it stock in August of 2021 with 124,915 miles. The truck has been in North Carolina its entire life and comes with excellent service records.”
