The 100 Series Toyota Land Cruiser is A Modern Collectable

- Опубликовано: 15 дек 2020
- The 100 Series LC is my favorite generation of Cruiser by far! The quality, ruggedness and refinement are the biggest differences between this and A Sequoia of the same vintage.

I'm a simple man. I see Land Cruiser, I like. Long live the Land Cruiser!
Yess!! Viva Le LC!
Right you are.
I like your presentation of this vehicle. You have a chill demeanor and you def don’t come across as a snobby car guy. Thanks for the cool video. Definitely reinforces my want for a 100 series LC!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
I couldn't agree more with 881qyk's comment!
I have watched a lot of videos about Land Cruisers over the past five years and this is the first time I felt compelled to comment. Great video!
Thank you!!
Ashtrays were everywhere. Every airline seat had an ashtray. At the University of Paris we used to smoke in class. My father used to smoke as he made his rounds in the hospital going from room to room. We used to smoke in movie theaters.
LOL
I bought a '99 LX470 four years ago. I was never a Toyota-Guy before then, but I love this 100-Series Land Cruiser. It's not a fuel miser, but the durability will outlast any other car I could have owned aside from another Land Cruiser. I'm willing to pay the "Toyota Tax" in fuel mileage if it means incredible long term durability.
Amen to that!!!
Next time get a diesel hahaha, those are best sellers back home
One thing to note about the 100 series: 1998 and 1999 actually had rear lockers. Toyota wanted to try something electronic with the "lockers", so it was gone by 2000. Also, don't know if it was mentioned, but 2003 gave you a new interior, an infotainment screen with navigation, and Bluetooth. Plus, the Land Cruisers had adjustable height control (AHC) as an option, it was standard on the LX and GX.
Ahh thank you, good to know!
Only 05/06 LCs had AHC as an option
I believe 04 and new had a new 5 speed automatic transmission
The entire Land Cruiser and Lexus LX lineup has always been fantastic. I have owned almost every generation of the Land Cruiser and each is unique in their own way, but all of them are absolutely amazing for their generation
As an 80 100 and now 200 series Owner.....I still....to this day ....drive my 100 series the most. 19 years 320K miles. It is still absolutely the “Go To” for everything. Even long trips. Bought it when the kid was in diapers....Now he’s driving it to College. You simply cannot buy a better more reliable more capable SUV.
ONE OF THE BEST VIDEO NARRATIVES I HAVE EVER SEEN ON THE TOYOTA LANDCRUISER. NICELY DONE ✅
Thank you!! I now want one myself! Haha
How do you like 100 as compared to 200? I’m looking at 2006 - 100 and 2009 - 200.
I have a 50th Anniversary edition from 2001. and it has a rear locker. I'm in Europe, though.
Thanks ,have 06 for 6 years,200k miles looks like almost new, don't care about milage ,I love this vehicle ,paid 12k 6 years ago no regrets 👌
You can most definitely get more than $12k back for that 06 today 😂
You can have your kids smoking too 😂😂😂 that was awesome
😂😆
Great job on the video. I have owned many Land Cruisers. Started with the 60 and then the 62.Even had a FJ40 in Asia. Currently I have the 1991 80 series, 1998 LX470, and 2008 200 series. The 1st years for those models. Sort of my little Land Cruiser Collection.
Thanks!! Thats awesome
That was a great, comprehensive review! Thanks and congratulations on your purchase from a diehard LC fan!
Thank you! Wish it was mine though!
My 2001 100 series will stay in the family for many more years; over 200k miles running like a champ, wish it had rear lockers and navigation-delete, but all in all it’s awesome
Great to own💯💯💯💯💯
I usually don’t watch “commentary” videos but you explained it so well! This is my favorite vehicle. I love my Highlander but this is a tank! Great video brother
Thank you so much!
My mom had a 1999 LC when I was growing up. I remember it was the first car I ever drove - right out of the parking lot when I got my learners permit! Spent a lot of time on Class IV roads and fire roads and the only time it ever got stuck was when my brother rolled it into a drainage ditch hahaha!
Great video
Oh gosh LOL I expect it to have driven out of it haha
Great video, appreciate your depth of knowledge, and attention to detail.
Thank you!
Wow the Legendary Land Cruiser!
Indeed!
Nice video and well informed on the 100 series. Myself and family currently have five of these 100 series and one 80 series...five LXs and one LC. My daily driver '99 LC just rolled over 458,000 miles. My son's '96 LX has 499,000 miles now. We have owned several more over the last 26 years and nothing but LC/LXs. These vehicles were specifically designed and built to traverse the world and back on cheap third world fuel. And they do not require an OCD personality regarding maintenance. From hundreds and hundreds of miles of experience, theses beasts are not expensive to own.
Thank you for the comment!
I really want to buy myself an LX or GX in the future after driving this! They’re so fantastic
@@BernonCars The GX is a different animal than the LX. Put it this way, the GX wants to be a LX when it grows up. Although it is called a Land Cruiser Prado in other world markets, it is not a 100 series LC in reality or theory. It is just another market option for less money.
Lol on the intro was cracking up.
I have one... and I love it! LX470
Thank you for that video... I love my Lex even more now!
Right on!
Excellent presentation. I hope to be a 100 series owner someday. I love my HDJ81.
Thank you! I wish you luck!
Very informative video. I love my 100 series!
Thank you!
BRO THIS VIDEO IS AWESOME I AM A BIG FAN OF LAND CRUISERS YOU HELPED ME LEARN MORE THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
Im also subed
Haha glad you liked it bro 😁
Good video. The early 100 series (98-99) could come with a rear locker.
Thanks for the info!
True I got a 99 with Rear Locker
Ahhhh the 105!
@@alex73181 the 105 is a solid front axle truck with a different configuration, they were never in the US. 98-99 LC came with an optional rear locker and standard center locker.
I guess what I'd really like to know Jay Gill is - which one would you pick?! Sounds like you certainly know your cruisers... So what'll it be the locked 100 or the franken100?!
Facts are fun... But driving is more funner lol
Got an 06 LX two months ago. It’s everything I was hoping for and more
Im glad!
Soo love all the vintage toyota b roll!!
my mom has a 2015 200 series LC and I want to keep it as my first car when I get my license in 2 years. I love driving it off road in my dad's ranch
rich kid
Nice video. I love my 2007 100 overlander! Time for you to overland it now!
Great video keep them coming.
Definitely will!
Been looking for a rust free 80 in the UK for a while, but the v8 100 is starting to make more sense.
Congratulations on your cool new Land Cruiser. Great video!
Thanks! I wish it was mine though! Haha
Just bought an 06 super clean same color no AHC. My first LC and I can totally relate to your review. Very comfortable and feels solid. Reassuring knowing you have both reliability and ruggedness. Love my LC!
Enjoy it!! It’ll serve you well!
How much did you pay for it?
Same here, but it's 1 year later now. Mine is a 2006 LC VX Limited, beige cloth and Pearl paint, 93K miles on the clock. It also doesn't have height control, which I find great. I like my LC so much! In contrary, I am not a fan of the 200 series. I just don't like that feeling of driving a rolling i-Phone. Can't stand too much technology.
I'm sure it has been mentioned below but the 98-99 Land Cruiser's did have an optional rear locker. None of the LX470s were offered with that option.
I have a 50th Anniversary edition from 2001. and it has a rear locker. I'm in Europe, though.
Great work and well executed. You even made me get excited, I suddenly have thirst to drive my 2006 that is thirsty for gas.
Do it!
Thanks for the Land Cruiser facts. Definitely a iconic vehicle. Well done review as well.
I appreciate it!
Not sure if you’ve figure it out yet, but, there is also a set of cup holders in the center console. I didn’t realized it until I owned my 03 for 2 years lol.
Another great video Bern.
Thanks Ben! 😄
I’ve had my 22 year old Land Cruiser 100 Amazon for over ten years. I converted it to run on LPG in the first 6 months of ownership because every time I heard that 4.7 V8 purr I literally wet my pants as the fuel gauge went down. Hand on my heart, it’s just one of the best and fun cars I’ve ever driven and that’s with well over 200k miles on the clock. Compared to a brand new Range Rover or BMW X series, my wee beastie beats them all. Long live the 100 series! Viva LC Amazon!
Indeed!! I want one for myself now haha
Great review! I have a 200 series LX 570 and Mercedes G550. I need to add a 100 series to my collection. I wish the 200 series had folding arm rests. Adds to the comfort.
Thank you! Yes I definitely appreciate the arm rests haha, especially after driving in some cars that don’t have any at all LOL
I just paid $18k for my 03 with 250k miles. But it's also a unicorn, white with gray interior.
Damn!
This is the same land cruiser that i have and i love it. 2003. I will get another 20 years out of it
Love your videos Bern, right now I am debating on an XC90 or Land Cruiser/LX470 for my daughter. Very helpful video 😊
Thank you! Good choice! I wish you luck with the search!
My '99 has 50,600 miles. Best vehicle I've ever owned, I never grow tired of driving it.
@@ark8tctI've been asked that before. My late wife and I bought it together in '02. It has great sentimental value, that's why I pamper it so much.
Would you sell it?
@@24hrstolive27 I highly doubt it, but who knows what the future holds?
Dude, you deserve more subscribers!
Thank you!!
Great explanation and guide!
Glad it was helpful!
This is my dream car.. One day, I shall own one.. Nice video 👍👍
One day!!
Great video. I love my 2003 Land Cruiser. Did you know there are extra cup holders in the center console? Open the top half and look at the bottom side of the top.
Ohh neat!!
What a fantastic review
Thank you
Thank you!
Bern. Great review and like your personality
Thank you!!
its a beauty,getting myself one soon,cant wait
Enjoy it!!
FJ’s and BJ and not a variant split, just denotes the Engine Variant, F being the Gasoline F Series Engines and B being the Diesel B Series Engine... Later 6cyl Diesel that had the H series engine were HJ’s (HJ45 HJ47)
I traded my 2005 100 series LC for a Loaded 5th Gen 4Runner. I regret my decision every day. : (
There’s something about them.. I feel you
Oh no! i'm in the same situation. Currently own an 80 and a 100lc. Planning to sell the 100 to buy the 5th gen.
@@vovinamer23 Granted, the 5th Gen will feel more stout, but the 1GR-FE definitely works harder than the 2UZ-FE did. The previous owner of my 100 Series didn't take care of a lot of basic maintenance items, which came back to haunt me which is what prompted me to sell. If your LC is good 2 go then I would advise keeping it until it kicks the bucket. The 5th Gen just lacks character. It feels "normal" and you'll see them everywhere. I'm a huge fan of having something unique and even my loaded 5th gen doesn't turn heads the same way the stock LC did. Good luck with whatever decision you make!
@@jonsmidt3701 Thank you so much for your info! I am really debating right now as I have both my 97 lx450 and 100 series. I think I'll hold onto both of them for now.
@@vovinamer23 Hey, no problem! Anything to prevent a fellow Yota enthusiast from experiencing unnecessary heartache.
Nice review dude!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Liked and subscribed. You are by far the nicest and easiest to watch and listen to RUclips car reviewer I have ever come across. I hope you get a million subscribers! I love this Land Cruiser and am looking at a 50k mile garage queen now from 2005. Literally as new even the leather. The climate controls are almost a deal breaker for me though. A pet peeve of mine is having to go into the touch screen, while driving, to simply turn the fan or temp up or down. I do this all the time in all my cars and hate that you have to take your eyes off the road for this simple task.
Also, your comments on the rear ash trays had me cracking up. Yes, each child can have their own ash tray lol 🤣
Thank you!! Im glad you enjoyed!
I have a 2004 Series 100 LC...still a baby not even 200k miles on its yet. Good job on the video. You can see my LC on our channel. Keep up the good work man!
Thank you! I’ll give your video a watch!
Excellent review
Thank you!
Have a 2003 LC. Bought it new with 4 miles on ODO. Now has 167000 mi. Last year was offered 19,000 dollars privately. Turned it down. TOO GOOD OF A CAR/TRUCK. VERY RELIABLE.
Wow! Yeah it would be hard for me to sell one if I had one. Haha
Great video bro
Thank you!
This is a great in depth review thanks for the info! I’m looking at a rust free 200k mile Land Cruiser and yep it’s still expensive $16k ..
Glad it was helpful! They’re expensive but worth every penny
I need to buy this land cruiser!
FYI: 3 tier center council, cup holders in the lid. (We bought a 15 year old Cruiser, and I don't think the top cup holder had ever been opened)
What steering wheel do you have on yours? Do you have a link to where you purchased it? Nice comprehensive overview. Well done!
It’s actually a whole new steering wheel. Not sure where he got it from though!
luckily i’m in australia. we get the HJ diesel.
i’ve got a 105. it’s a beast.
Nice job Bud
Thank you!!
I dropped 16k cash on a 2000 lx470 about a month ago (1500 miles ago) and I love it more everyday, no issues and it even tows my trailer I live in. But damn it isn't fast, you have to get used to flooring it when passing haha
LOL I bet, heavy brick
I love ur videos friend. 👌🏾
I'm from Angola - Luanda!
Could u tell me how much this car currently costs in the United States?
Thank you! A Land Cruiser like this would cost around $12-15,000 US
My biggest complaint with the 100 series: the fuels tank is too small. I wish it jad a 30 gal tank.
Then it's the 4 speed tranny that came with my 2000. Definitely needs at least 5 speeds.
Bought a 2002 with 128k love it so far
Wow nice!!!
this LC100 is the legendary car of all time
Definitely
Love them and want one but prices ard insane
I have a 2003 it has nearly 400 hundred thousand Klm runs like a dream dosent burn oil it gives me 14.5 liters per 100 Klm I have 285 x75 x16 inch rims mine is a 4.7 V8 I have been told that I could drive around Australia without any problems
We had a 2003 landcruiser for 12 years and 800 thousand kilometres
Thats awesome!!
@@BernonCars it was our daily driver and guess what the engine and the manual transmission were like brand new,if this car had a good maintenance it would still roll forever
love this car real man truck nothing to break on this car absolutely 💯 tank on wheels
Right!
I hope the price on these go up. I own a UZJ100.
Can you tell me where you got the steering wheel?
Good morning sir
I'm A Baruah, Wish to buy LC
100, which version is fine sir!
Where I can get that steering wheel??
Yo man can you please tell me the name of the song you used at 0:23? Please bro I can't find the song, I can't find it
I kinda imagined some rich arabs smoking in the back, but the kids smoking? xD heh that cracked me up. I have 1999 LC100 4,2 V6 TurboDIesel. What a beast. I have some offroading/overlanding mods on it - not nearly everything I want, but it's fun to go places even now.
Good to hear a non-bias review where the Range Rover is somehow better ?? Got my self a 1998 4.2 diesel straight six, four speed auto. I agree with everything that you have stated in your presentation. I ran a Discovery 3 and they are a pile of over rated, pretentious nonsense incapable of work. I refuse to touch anything from the 'Green Oval Stable' as my experience is they cannot be serviced or repaired without complication and nonsense. Then one day a 4.2 Amazon J100 came to me for a major service, all the filters including the auto transmission filter and the timing belt. I took it for a test drive and it was one of the best vehicles that I had ever driven. Three weeks later, the 15 year old Discovery was sold and I now own a 23 year old Landcruiser. New vehicles do not come into my wallet and I do not live on credit. My vehicles have to work. Attend break downs carrying tools, pull heavy trailers, shift my tractors, on/off road and then pull the caravan and cruise on holiday with my family. No grey areas or green ovals anymore. A good review.
They really are great vehicles. Now I want one for myself!
Y'all dont forget to replace your heater Ts in your LC100s!! Every 100k miles, could leave you stranded easily
Nice job young man, It's not you; it's them...
I appreciate that 😀
Land Cruiser for the win. Nothing else to it.
For sure
nice breakdown, and an even nicer cruiser!
Thank you!
Can you please tell me the name of the song you used 0:23???? Please
Dan Mason - My Lover!
@@BernonCars sorry my friend but I can't find a specific song named "my lover" by Dan mason. Sorry to take up your time but do you mind sending the link for me !! Thank you much appreciated!!
Need the song please
👏
Thank you sir!
Hmmmmm, I don’t like that screen to control the climate control. Is there an alternative to that?
Unfortunately no!
I have 2005 GX470 ...
Where is that steering wheel
From ebay!
If anyone knows where it is let me know!
Sequoia is even more comfy
I agree
Landcruisers rule!
Here is 100 vs 200 series: ruclips.net/video/GVy_L7peHK8/видео.html
I want to buy this car and take my future girlfriend for a trip in the hills in this car
That would be great!
Makes noise, but doesn't accelerate quickly.
Yup, it’s good for what it is IMO
You say 5'8" like you're tall 😂
I'm 6'3", and there are plenty of people taller than me
I really don’t lol. Just average. I think it’s helpful so people know how the legroom is. Also what’s wrong with being 5’8”?
Awesome review Sir.
Thank you kindly!
12:35 ROFL
The steering wheel on that cruiser is not original.
Did you watch the video? Smh...
