I was lucky enough to have an '85 Diesel BJ60. Adored it, and it's bullet-proof 4 cyl engine and rock n' roll attitude, but unfortunately the frame rusted out. This week I've returned to the family with a gorgeous black beauty 2000 LX470, with a rocket fueled V-8. Thank-you Toyota for creating one of the best lines of cars ever made.
I grew up with a 2004 100 series. The 2UZ-FE V8 always put a smile to my face. We owned it for over 310K miles before we decided to donate to charity due to the repair bills getting too expensive (rust belt state) someone bought it at auction for 10 grand back in 2016! Allegedly, it gets to live offroad up in Maine!
Kiddomike Can someone please tell me the difference between a 200 series and the regular land cruiser? I own a 2002 4.7L Land cruiser, is it a 200 or just a regular one?
Nekson smith Well, it's not a 'regular one'. If I'm not mistaken you have the 100 series Land Cruiser, a predecessor to the current model of Land Cruiser. The 200-series Land Cruiser has a similar platform with Lexus's LX570. Toyota also claims that the suspension is more heavy duty than the previous model Land Cruisers. All models of the 200 series (except the GX model in some countries) have the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS), which allows the 200 series to be more adaptive to the terrain it drives on. The new model also introduced some comfort conveniences like Keyless entry, push-button start engine and 4-zone climate control. Toyota also claims that the new 200 series has a lighter and stronger frame. Features differ by region. In my country they only have the 4.5 Liter Twin-turbo diesel engine, which is a really powerful workhorse and has a respectable gas-mileage. The previous generation Land Cruisers are still one of the best out there. It just so happens that with innovations in the automative industry, they incorporate that to their newer car models. I'm sure it would be the same story with the next generation Land Cruiser.
With tire chains and proper tires, my old land cruiser goes through 8 foot snow drifts easily. No locking diffs, but it does have solid axles front and rear.
I used to work for a Lexus dealership. We often get the old trade in Land Cruiser or LXs. Many of them way over 300k miles easy, and still running strong, still worth a lot of money!
We love landcruisers but they just don’t sell them as much here but the shitty landrover are every where guessing it’s because landrover are more easily brought here in uk

@@christineayres7094 Wrong, it will break before a Land Cruiser when the going gets tough after huge mileage. Any way, who wants to be seen in a G Wagon f.f.s.?
A road with a little bit of snow on it isn't what you would call offroading. Especially when others have been there before you and made a track for you 🤣
Yeah after the 80 series in America they literally became worthless off road with cv axles instead of solids I'm getting an fj62 but because the diesel was illegal here I'm going to have to import a 12ht for it and h55
@@danieldelaney1377 never sold here not a single one and all vehicles are illegal to import until they're 25 or older. Usually means they're collectable and expensive.
Every car is big when you're Richard Hammond.
Lmfao!

Only a true idiot could get a Land Cruiser stuck like that...(Does he work for Land Rover?)
You forget what happened in the Amazon when he chose a landcruiser, he picked the worst Landcruiser IN THE WORLD!!!
Ah. The land cruiser could have easily pulled off

Does your country offer a manual one?

Old saying: " If you want to visit the outback, drive a Land Rover and if you want to return in one piece, drive and land Cruiser"
Im just blessed to know that Richard Hammond himself has driven on a road that i have been on.
0:42 and 0:52 Really looks like Frösön!!
This was enormous back then, now its practically mid sized for what's on the roads here in America
Yeah, big useless piles of rubbish!

4:00- further proof that Richard Hammond is no good at driving in a straight line without having a crash 😂
he couldnt see over the steering wheel
First comment, love the Landcruiser, perfect massive 4x4 if you don't want to be flash & it will get you anywhere
Its a shape you UK guys abd Americans cat buy the 70 series
I love how he says "That's done, thank you," after doing everything to go offroad. It's so adorably English.
Brexit even!

The better off roader you have, the longer you walk to get a tractor that drags you out of mess.

really looking forward to having lots of fun with it...
I've had 2 4Runners a 98 and a 99, both were awesome. Currently looking at a 96 Land Cruiser.
moparsrock I highly recommend the 90's series. I bought one a couple days ago. 3L TD GX, 38" arctic trucks modded. :) Too bad winter is over.
+Mp57navy the 70 series is the best land cruiser
what year runners?
Is there a compilation of Richard Hammond out of context? That would be great.
Rule number 1....Dont fuck with a Toyota Land Cruiser.
Rule number 1.....don`t give your car keys to Richard Hammond!
What was the name of this special edition
My daily is a 2007 Land Cruiser 100 series. Last year they made them.
You should only use low range in snow if you are going up a steep hill, otherwise its more likely to cause you to dig in the snow and get stuck
popular car. thanks richard
What year is it?
Yaht maybe 2004 or 2003
2001
Well I have land cruiser that weights 1500 kilos, serious diet for sand adventure
Hammond before Top Gear amazing to see
4.7 V8 Toyota
Why didn’t he put the fogs on?
Still love my 80 Series more...
Same.. I sold the 80 to buy a 100 and it just doesn't feel as good
80s are better off road vehicles no doubt but way worse daily drivers
@morton christie oh my god I have the exact same car (with the exact same 2nd gear issue)
Oldie but goodie.
I just wised the mpg was a little better and I'd buy one.
the 100 series is a massive vehicle. it's the only vehicle I have seen with comparable size to the hummer h2.
What's an Amazon? I have a GXL and have heard of Sahara and Kakadu but never heard of the Amazon.
It's the amazing version 2.0
