Toyota Landcruiser FAQs

• Is Toyota discontinuing the LandCruiser?

  Local motorists will be delighted to hear that the Toyota LandCruiser isn't set to leave our shores anytime soon, with the model actually one of the best-sellers across the nation. The LandCruiser is popular among off-road adventurers who are spoilt for choice as far as challenging terrain to test the true mettle of this rugged SUV. In the US, the LandCruiser will be discontinued from 2022, which is where some of the rumours have led to confusion among new car buyers. Rest assured, Australia is one of the leading markets for the LandCruiser, it's right at home.

• What is the best year LandCruiser?

  Ask the hardcore LandCruiser enthusiasts which year is their favourite model and they'll likely tell you the 80 series, sold new between 1990 and 1998, is a clear winner. The models from that era boasted a level of ruggedness and grit that made them true 4x4 warriors with every bit the adrenaline-fuelled experience you'll find in any car. Not everyone, however, places their faith in a car that is a quarter of a century old and with high mileage, in which case, this year's LandCruiser offers a level of refinement, smoothness and safety that has simply never been available across the range.

• Is the LandCruiser a good car?

  As Toyota's longest-running series of vehicles, plus more than 7 million sales right across the world, the LandCruiser is a titan in the automotive scene and a blessing to many local car owners. Considered by many as the perfect 4x4 to stand up to the rigour and harshness of the Australian climate and outback, it’s been nothing short of a phenomenal servant to many Aussies for well over half a century. Regardless the conditions, the LandCruiser is more than cut out for the task, it's rightly earned its title as a pinnacle for 4x4 driving.
