Why? Because damage and dirt are inevitable and cleaning plush leather seats and carpets and paying thousands of dollars for a new paint job every weekend is insane. In reality, the off-roading and luxury communities rarely intersect, making the modern Land Cruiser uselessly over engineered and designed.
If you’re looking for luxurious SUV from Toyota but don’t want to spring for a Lexus, the top trim Sequoia has you covered. That’s because if you want an SUV from Toyota for camping and trail riding, the community favorite is undoubtedly the 4Runner. If the second hand market isn’t enough, internal competition from the 4Runner and Sequoia effectively make the Land Cruiser a completely obsolete SUV. It also doesn’t help every J200 comes fully-loaded from the factory and you can find low-mileage examples from 2018 going for $10,000-$20,000 cheaper. But when Toyota still insists on charging nearly $90,000 dollars for a ten-year-old SUV and sales don’t justify its existence, it should be no surprise the Land Cruiser is getting the ax.
It does everything you ask of it fairly well, including hauling your family during the week and all your gear and off-road toys on the weekend. Before the pitchforks are sharpened and the torches get lit, I want to make it very clear the J200 Series Land Cruiser is still a capable off-roader despite being a decade old.
