The Toyota Land Cruiser needs no introduction and remains the 4WD by which all others are measured. Bombproof reliability, whatever the weather or terrain, global parts availability, class-leading build quality, excellent all-terrain capabilities, and a generous suite of driver comforts are just a few of the Land Cruiser’s offerings.
I recently featured this 2005 Toyota 4Runner and discussed the benefits of owning a vehicle that can do it all; this is where the Land Cruiser is unmatched. It’s one of the few vehicles that in stock form can tackle some of the harshest environments on earth—navigating challenging technical terrain, wading through deep water, and still arriving back in time for the school run. However, if you’re looking to upgrade your Land Cruiser, there are many specialist outfitters and an extensive selection of modifications and accessories to build the ultimate 4WD for international travel.
Purchased from the original owner and currently clocking 192,000 miles, this 2003 example showcases the V8 motor). The vehicle has been meticulously maintained (check out the recent list of new parts in the ad linked below) and is largely stock, making it the perfect platform to build your dream rig.
