The Land Cruiser of any iteration is a pinnacle choice for travel, with recent offerings including this 1992, 2001, and 2013. The 200 Series is no exception and carries forward the legendary durability and reliability of its forebears, while introducing plush interior refinement. It’s the ideal model for those seeking a do-it-all rig that’s as comfortable on the daily commute as it is driving around the world. In fact, when Expeditions 7 collected their 70 Series from Japan for their around-the-world expedition, the lead Land Cruiser engineer questioned their model choice on the grounds that the 200 Series was the most rigorously tested and toughest model they’d ever built. It boasts a body-on-frame chassis for superior torsional strength, full-time 4WD, intelligent all-terrain assists, and enjoys global serviceability and parts availability. Unsurprisingly, it’s beloved by NGOs and overlanders alike, with no shortage of inspiring builds online from the likes of Salty Sunrise, Nomad Outfitters, and Cruisemaster. Cue today’s 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser (108,000 miles), which showcases tasteful premium upgrades and would serve as the perfect blank canvas for a full overland buildout. If you’d like to deep dive into the pros and cons of this vehicle for exploration, then listen to Principles of Overlanding :: Kurt Williams on the 200 Series Land Cruiser.
From the Seller:
“This Land Cruiser has been in no accidents and has a clean title in hand. All services completed at Toyota Dealership. It has never been off-road, but is ready for adventure. The exterior is Blizzard Pearl White with only one small door ding (no paint removed). The interior is very clean, but the driver’s seat has creases on the bolster. Tasteful modifications installed by a Toyota Master Technician.”
