The Land Cruiser is arguably the definitive overland vehicle and is a very popular choice for around-the-world travel. We’ve featured a number of adventure-ready examples, including this 2008 200 Series, a 1986 HJ60, and a 1989 Troop Carrier HJ75. Earlier models were designed solely to perform as rugged backcountry workhorses and lacked driver comfort and refinement. Toyota recognized the need to modernize and has since transformed the Land Cruiser with class-leading interior luxury while retaining the platform’s legendary build quality, reliability, and capability. As a result, this iconic 4WD demonstrates it’s possible to own a rig that’s just as comfortable on the commute or school run as it is navigating backcountry trails or crawling technical terrain. In addition, there is enormous aftermarket support for the Land Cruiser, allowing owners to modify and adapt the platform to their specific needs, whether that’s a modular configuration that can be quickly assembled/removed for weekend getaways or a permanent camper interior designed for life on the road. If you’d like a better idea of how the 200 Series can be outfitted for travel, check out the inspiring builds from Equipt Overland, The Sunnyside, and Jailbreak Overlander. Today’s 200 Series has covered 201,000 miles, features a long list of premium modifications, and includes spare parts and accessories “worth $8,000.”
From the Seller:
“Sad to sell this Land Cruiser as it has been an epic truck, but I bought a new model, so this one will have to go. It is very well built and maintained meticulously; if the Toyota needed anything, it was taken care of beyond what was needed.”
