4.2TD VX Landcruiser - awesome! My mate's got a '91 import with about 140k on the clock. It's amazing. not rust, all the gizmos work, gets about 28mpg being a bit careful but it also tows his digger (3 tons I think) with ease.
If I had any money and it was a touch smaller I'd have one myself! :twisted:
Also saw one at Grand Canyon last time I was there doing some very steep slopes with no trouble.
Got to keep an eye on the big end bearings apparently but you should be able to get over 300k out of the engine/vehicle.
Don't get me wrong - I'm a massive lady fan (despite only having owned 1) but for everyday use I think the 'cruiser wins...
Rich_P:
What can the Land Cruiser tow up to legally out of curiosity? As the Hilux is restricted to 1.75 tonnes....
Cal:
3.5 tons I think. I might be getting muddled but I'm failry sure it was at least half a ton more than a landy.
bullfrog:
Sorry to correct you but habving spoken to Toyota mechanics and one factort technician ALL of them suffer. I know of 4 people who had problems righyt up to 2000 models.
Anyone who says "they sorted it" is lying the only diesal which didnt have issues was the 4.2 .
All others had corrosion problems.
