The 200-Series Land Cruiser is a pinnacle overland platform that’s depended on around the world for the toughest environments. It’s a favorite with the Expedition Portal team with a recent deep dive on the Overland Journal Podcast: Princliples of Overlanding :: Kurt Williams on the 200-Series Land Cruiser. Under its handsome good looks and luxurious interior, the chassis, engine, and drivetrain are more akin to a commercial vehicle and are designed to endure daily punishment. During Expeditions 7 meeting with Toyota in Japan, the lead Land Cruiser engineer questioned why the team had chosen the 70 Series. He stated that the 200 Series was by far the strongest Land Cruiser the company had produced to date and superior to the 70 Series for a multitude of reasons. It’s a popular choice for overland builds with recent adventure-equipped examples, including this 2013, 2016, and 2018. Cue today’s 2014 Toyota Land Cruiser (105,000 miles), which has been meticulously maintained and would serve as the ideal blank canvas for a full build-out.
From the Seller:
“A fantastic Land Cruiser with a clean Mississippi title. The engine, transmission, and differential fluids were all changed in the last week along with brakes and rotors. I’ve also had the wheel alignment and tire rotation done. It has been completely gone through by a Toyota dealer in the last few weeks. Great ride with a slightly higher stance.”
