Toyota Land Cruiser from USA

Toyota Land Cruiser began as a car designed for off-road driving, but over time it became a luxury car, although it retained its characteristics. It can often be found in Arab countries and in Africa, where it competes with Nissan Patrol and Mitsubishi Pajero. Land Cruiser keeps the price all the time, which prompts many customers to look for these cars in the USA. If you are interested in such a vehicle, we can bring it for you. First, find out more about the Toyota Land Cruiser model - how many horses its engines have, what dimensions it has and how it is equipped.

It is worth knowing that the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series (J300) was not offered in the USA and thus there was a gap in the offer. For its part, the J150 series was sold as the Lexus GX 460, so we will focus on the J200 and the latest J250.

Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series (J200, 2008-2021)

In the USA, the Toyota Land Cruiser had a classic frame, common, among others, with the Lexus LX 570. The suspension is equipped with the KDSS (Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System), which regulates the vertical movements of the wheels. Therefore, on asphalt, the car drives confidently and stably, and off-road it perfectly copes with difficult obstacles. It also has a permanent 4-wheel drive with a Torsen central differential, a reducer and a 6-speed automatic transmission, and since 2016, 8-speed transmissions have been installed. The Crawl Control system limits speed and acceleration in rough terrain. It is triggered by the driver using a button.

The car went through two lifts. For the 2014 model year, there was a refreshed grill, xenon headlights, a 9" screen, a new dashboard, new wood inserts, improved electronics, the Multi-Terrain Select system. For the 2016 model year, the novelties included LED headlights, grill, 20" wheels (so far they were 18"), Toyota Safety Sense system, 8-speed automatic transmission and improved 4-wheel drive.

The earlier disappearance was explained by competition, which even included Toyota's offer, where there were Sequoia and Lexus LX. The generation designated J250 was 200 kg lighter than the J200. The KDSS system was retrofitted as an E-KDSS for the rear axle. Again, a 4-wheel drive with a Torsen mechanism and an 8-speed automatic transmission were used.

Toyota Land Cruiser from the USA - why is it worth it?

Although the history of the Land Cruiser model in the USA is quite complicated, because, for example, instead of the generation J150 it was sold as the Lexus GX 460. The best idea is to buy newer models, namely the J200 and J250. In the case of the J200 series, there were fewer variants, but for this they are much better equipped. In the USA, only a gasoline engine was offered, and in Europe there was also Diesel and it is the versions with a diesel engine that reigns supreme in our secondary market. Given the increasingly stringent regulations on diesel emission standards and increasing restrictions, it is best to look for a gasoline version in the USA. Thanks to this, you will be able to ride longer without restrictions. The J250 from the USA is only available with a hybrid drive, which is yet to appear in Europe.
